The fact that you only watched 20 minutes of a presidential speech/debate and only cause it was the only thing in HD TELLS me that you aren’t even informed enough in a political sense to even have any say in this thread… Sorry to say. Also, people playing the race card… Get a grip. How many times do people need to say that most of America is white? And Obama didn’t win by a thread. He won with 340 (forget what they’re called LOL) when he only needed 275. He won in “battleground” states where McCain was also getting a great response. Yet he won those states. Why? They’re battleground states cause those people WERE MAKING AN INFORMED AND PERSONAL VOTE. It’s obvious America simply believes that Obama is better for them. There was no recount, much like Bush’s election. McCain had some great points, but in my eyes, he was just as ignorant in a general sense as Bush was (though greatly more intelligent lol). You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Some of what Obama says I don’t believe, but I still would have voted for him. Experience? What experience did McCain have? He’s lost every election he’s run in. Obama has been a senator (as that is his “resume” as people have stated) and knows his politics. To be honest, ANYBODY who gains the reins of America and inheriting a horrible war, and a horrible financial crisis is in for a shitty run. This has NOTHING to do with his experience. He knows what the country needs, what the people needs, and what needs to be done to fix it. He knows he’s not going to have much fun, but he’s still willing to do it. That says more than enough for me. And this next statement has nothing to do with who you’re voting for, or why, but in general. Stop being so goddamn ignorant. (You’ll know who that goes to, and it’s not just one person). P.S: I am impressed that SON is keeping this discussion decent. Really impressed. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/presidential-elections-2008/119641)._
