This is a short thread, for the point i wish to convey is simple.

Unlike most of the people in America and, it seems, internationally, I cannot stand to realise the fact that Obama is by far the most popular Presidential Candidate.
It seems people have been caught in this propaganderate tide of loving because he promises "change".

This is the simple fact. As a politician, one should point out exactly what one wishes to do and why, when, how, and what effect it will have on the voting populace. However, Barack Obama - with his user-friendly charisma, seems to convince everyone that he is an incredible man. In reality, he has very vaguely, if at all, outlined any policies or methods by which he would run the US. Instead he promises "Change".

How can the voting populace of the USA be so imbosilic that they get swept along by this man's failure at presentation?

We will if and when he comes to power whether his "Change" is for the better or not.

I don't really follow it personally, got better things to do with my time (surprisingly).

However, all politicians promise change, it's probably rule no1 of running for any political seat.

Also, if you need to ask how the voting populace can be so stupid, all you need to do is look at the last 8 years at the person who has served a full term...

Hahaha well said.
But i don't think you can be audacious enough to promise change without telling the people what that change might people.

A vast majority of people don't have a clue about how the world works, so you can say anything aslong as you sound as though you know what you're saying. Heck, throw the word "terrorist" in there and a large amount of people will go along with you because they're scared.

I'm a terrorist?

In fact, do as Lois does in Family guy.
Just say "9/11" repeatedly, and instantly win the election.

Heh, that was the inspiration for my post xP

Barack Obama is awesome cus one of his targets is 2 stop the war in iraq (which im against).
My dads in iraq and he met him during his tour. He seems like a nice guy.

has there ever been a politician that doesnt promise change

"vote me, i ll keep everything the same" <---- 0 votes. unless of course they are highly racist in which case they will get a lot of votes from the deep south

nah i still think clarkson should be incharge of us and america lol

well, i somehow doubt that would work out >.<'

Its not about whether or not there will be change but what they will change. For example, i will vote 4 some1 tht plans 2 end the war in iraq but i wont vote 4 some1 tht wants 2 bring back public executions.

so...in that theory....hussain wouldnt have been hanged on youtube! interesting.

i agree about iraq to a certain extent (lying about weaopons of mass distruction) but public exectuions...hmm xD nah not really, it kinda suck to live in UK atm

lol, i mean like medievel executions. eg. being burnt at the stake, guillotine or being in an iron maiden (ouch).

medievil executions = burnt at the stake? lol! not really medievil but ok i say bring them back ^.^ but only for historical purposes ofc

So u wudnt mind watching some1 being burnt alive?! Whats wrong with u?

i said bring them back for historical purposes ^.^

Wynney's a witch, lets burn him!

u ll have to catch me first muahahaha

u think ppl will vote for clinton? nah

get with the news, hillary clinton lost ages ago. lol.

It's Obama vs MCain now, right?

(sp?)

Yeah, those two will be duking it out (and you almost got it right, its McCain)

I for one hope to god that McCain does not win; he appears to be some aging war veteran republican who wants to wage war on Iran (because that will really help).

Anyone who watched mock the week will know tht MCain cant put his arms above shoulder height.

rofls. he makes oven chips

its certainly an interesting election, especially with the likelyness of a black president with all them people in the deep south O.o
