Also its good to have a younger man with a young family who seems to care what sort of world he leaves when his term finally ends .....Good for u Obama

Um .... he is not a muslim.
Can't believe anyone here has actually swallowed that bit of anti-Obama misinformation.
I've seen lots of similar comments from yanks at other chatrooms and forums though from McCain - Palin Republican supporters as recently as this morning
(who have been posting misinformation and mud slinging (spamming chat rooms with quotes from rightwing blogs and UTube clips taken entirely out of context or edited to say things never said) in the hope that some of their rubbish and allegations might stick or influence people away from voting or the Democrats and Obama - Bidden.
Very nasty posts targeting anyone who happens to dare post anything that takes them to task or supports Obama (calling them stupid, socialists, commies, uninformed, naieve, cowards, unpatriotic , unamerican , antiamerican , antibusiness, terrorist simpathisers, antilife, terrorist appeasers ., accusing him of being a fraud , of fraudulent funds raising , of stealing the election or not campaigning fairly (or the way they wanted him to ie loosing his cool or resporting to attack advertising )... etc ,sounds familiar eh ?
My wife and I watched it unfold on ABC today , I suspected he was going to win , it was only how convincingly that was in question. IT CERTAINLY WAS TIME FOR A CHANGE. Certainly a historic day - glad I witnessed it.
I hope that some neoconcersative christofascist fruitloop or white supremeistist whackjob doesn't decide to assassinate him as a result of his being made President. This is likely a serious prospect now , there a lot of americans who hate him and what he stands for.
