Well, as a American all I can say is I can finally feel proud to be a American again. Been a long time since I felt hopeful when it came to politics.
That said, Obama has his work cut out for him. Will be interesting to see what he, and the other Democrats do with the power that they have just been given.
Seekster: Oh shit now the Europeans are waking up and telling America what a good boy it was, next thing you know they will expect us to bring them the paper too. (Most of that sentence was tongue in cheek)
America has always gotten the President it deserves, for better or worse (depending on where you stand) this time is no different. Now its just pissing me off more that other nations are chiming in on our political process when they have no clue.
Yep. It's completely wrong to look at another nation and make value judgements on their government. It's also wrong to then invade said country and attempt to change said government.
Pot to kettle. Pot to kettle. You are Black ! Repeat You are black! Over
No. You don't get to play that shit American pig dog. Even the worst of our fast food (dog kebab probably) cannot match the sheer fucking crazed decadence of the Luthor burger.
Do not try that, you lose because of the Deep Fried Mars Bar (how ironic), and the deep fried pizza. That is almost the pinnacle of gluttony.

I think were working parallel points here, although I'll throw in Fondants way phrasing it, just so the full spectrum of hypocrisy is visible:
Fondant: Mr Kettle? I have a rather racist telegram from Mr Pot...
So, what did you want to get out of Obama's presidency? Hope n' Change. So, what is he going to do for you? Hope n' Change. Right, but what do you think he'll do first? Hope n' Change.
Thanks, guys. Can't wait for him to cut my Air Force job, either.

That would be a Scottish invention. Seperate country. We've had a few wars over it in fact.
Lets all calm down a bit shall we? Lets give the president elect: a) time to be sworn into office b) a year or two to do his job before we get all happy and exclaim the world is saved.
Yes he is the choice most other countries on the planet favored, yes he appears to be more progressive, but since he has no past record of governing much of anything, lets give him some time to prove himself first before declaring the man the second coming of the messiah.

Scotland is a part of the United Kingdom, isn't it? I still have to deal with shit from Tasmania....

bump the capital gains and dividend taxes for people making more than 200K a year up from 15% to 20% so he doesn't impact small businesses and the middle class while still raising the revenue to pay the salaries of people in the Air Force.
Oh, and second? Hire people to work in the Federal government based on merit even if it means crossing ideological lines just like he did when dealing with articles as editor of the Harvard Law Review, rather than just hiring people from his own party even if they are morons like has happened for the past eight years.

You deserve it, you're all a bunch of criminals. We never did anything bad enough to warrant us being stuck with the Irish.
Most people in the UK only identify themselves as from the UK when we're talking to each other and hating on the Americans. Ironically you're the only people we hate more than each other.

I know full well that he has still alot to prove and he will be inheriting a mess so he's going to have a tough time. I'm just relived he won.

I think nearly wiping them all out through starvation, via taking nearly all their land for raising livestock for your own consumption, would count as doing something bad enough to warrant being stuck with them. Then there's the whole thing about what you did with Africa, India, us, the people who lived here before us.....

While I recognise your first few points you sure as hell can't blame the Abbos on us chum. That brutal shit was still going on 50 years ago.

Yeah, but it really started with two words. "Terra Nullis." That little guilt free phrase the English could use to come in and take what they wanted.

Oh nice language you've got there by the way.
The one you nicked from the Romans?
Actually it was more forced on us than anything. We were perfectly happy with speaking with grunts and not bathing. Still are in fact.

That we only acted like pricks because we were abused by our greasy itallian stepdads?
Indigo_Dingo: Yeah, but it really started with two words. "Terra Nullis." That little guilt free phrase the English could use to come in and take what they wanted.
I would have said it was the cannons and guns that did that.

Wounds will heal, deaths will be mourned - being classified as animals in the eyes of the law won't.
