            I was talking about CapitalJ's post...meaning I think what CapitalJ meant was that he was voted in on his popularity for charisma/charm not for political knowledge...

              I didn't look at the site, but I can say that with 100% certainty, Obama won the election by presenting himself as the opposite of President Bush. I don't think there was any chance that Obama wasn't going to win that election.

                          Actually, a true American will always question their government and expect a straight answer. The people shouldn't have to live like sheep and expect everything to be alright.

                          That is not a democracy. That is socialism.

                            You can still support your president and still have questions. Remember "its not what your country can do for you, its what you can do for your country"....

                              Well said Brian, its like Deja Vu or something lol.

                              I can't speak to Obama's <u>political</u> popularity, but neither can those people. They voted for Obama because Bush left a bad taste in their mouths and they think all republicans are Bush wannabes. Obama's inexperience is alarming, but I hope he does good things for this country. and drops the socialism bullshit he's been spouting.

                                Im sure some people feel that way, but I think a lot more people just felt that McCain was a "bush wannabe", not necessarily all republicans....

                                      Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. Its kinda hard to get a feel for who you are voting for when all you can get out of the media is, "Osama-Obama therefore Obama is a terrorist". I did have to laugh at McCain calling Obama pro-abortion to his face at the debates. No one in their right mind is pro-abortion dumbass.
