well it seems the majority of americans want him president, and so does the rest of the world. McCain and Palin were a joke, the world would have been dealt a serious blow if those 2 idiots were put in power.
and McCain is to old to shred the mtb like obama can!
instead of badmouthing McCain and Palin, maybe you should actually look into some of the topics. People like you are making this country more and more ignorant.
What? you make no sense. Firstly i'm English, Are you saying British ciizens are causing America to become more ignorant? I should look into more topics? What does that even mean. And it's not ignorant to believe that it was better for the US and the world that a party that promotes elitism, are anti distribution of wealth, hugely pro religious, anti liberal, have hostile foreign policy and terrible leaders to not be elected. Obama has huge support throughout the world and is a much more capable president than that old cock and that silly bitch could ever be.
McCain is gonna die like next year and no one wants a dumbfuck running the country, then obama is going to get shot or something so were fucked either way but ........OBAMA WON!!
Obama is a born leader. his speeches are interesting. this is way better than out "Bush Era" that we were caught up in. at least this guy knows how to talk to people. Also, I'm 100% for Obama and I think what we have on our way is something great. Right now America is in an Economic slump thanks to Mr. Bush and Obama is gonna help us get out of it. He's also getting the troops out of the war. Everyone whos for McCain is a redneck. yall need to lay back and quit being stubborn. Think of others and we can finally come together and be at peace. Stop hating on eachother. immature kids are what you are.
They go on to say that Palin was a "Hail Mary" pick, as the McCain campaign began to realize it was losing, due to economic recession. She is not qualified, ok she was the governor of the least populated state in America. Sarah Palin is not qualified to be a VP, this video shows you, and somehow "I told you so" doesn't quite cut it. What does an American flag pin have to do with patriotism?! It's a small steal pin, probably made in China, are there no greater tests of patriotism? Really, a flag pin is the most of your concern? Finally, I think Obama's victory is the manifestation of years of American "equality" finally coming to fruition. It shows that the majority of American's now don't have a problem with "har har, yeehah, I hate black people, muslim this, terrorist that" I'm glad to see that that racist, bigot society is finally dieing off.
^^This being the perspective of a Dutch and American citizen, living in the U.S.
fuck off u cockend. you're a typical american, thinking what you says goes. noone give a shit what you have to say, and moone cares what you said! so you shut up!
nah dude the problem is he does know what hes talking about, its all the ppl who voted for obama and having absolutely no reason for voting for him, hopefully he will keep us safe with all the shit going down that is most important o and Bush looked way better riding his bike
I dont care about Obama being prs. and I dont care that McCain lost. What really pisses me off is the fact that all these damn foreigners keep butting in like they know what the F*CK they're talking about.
palin is a crazy bitch! who doesnt noe anything about government and shes da one who made everyone say obama was muslim because of the whole "the iraq war is holy" quote she said
and u people r just racist just cause our new president isnt white doesnt mean hes not going to be a good president!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
k for all you 15 year old "politics" PLEASE. For the love of both the democratic party and republican party's dignity, research! Before you open your terribly ill informed mouths about something you know absolutely NOTHING about. Yes, Barack Obama is dark skinned, that's about the only thing you are correct about. That definately does NOT translate to the following: He is a terrorist, He will be a horrible President, He is Muslim, and most importantly, He's not American. Come on people. I hate seeing a political image on here, then scrolling down and seeing the most rediculous things about politics that someone could ever post on the internet, on pinkbike nonetheless!!! Go ride your bike or something!!
In an interveiw, people went out on the streets and asked people why they were voting for obama....the people had no clear reason. Then the interviewers asked, "what about Palin, it was good to pick Palin as Obama's running mate"?" and the people were like, yeah, he is great........they didnt even know she was a woman, or that she was for McCain
And did you see the video where McCain/Palin supporters thought Obama was a terrorist just because his name sounds like Osama? Honestley, anyone can edit out the smart people and leave the dumb people, the same thing was done with that video with the stupid Americans. Are you trying to tell me that all those videos are right? They can't be. They contradict each other. Your point is void.
Polotics is important. We need to decide the people who will control our country for however many years. I for one would have voted for obama if I was old enough. But this is a biking site (hence the name pinkbike.com). If you want to get your voice heard then vote, don't argue with people on a website. Do what the description says. GO RIDE YOUR BIKE.
obama sucks he justs a gay pot head and cant do shit right and a Muslim so don't be pissed when he blows up monuments and the only reson why we voted for him is be cuz hes black no affence to African Americans
fucK u smoke weed every day i dont give a shit about stupid ass politics mccain is a tool obama is a tool palins kind got a milf thing going for her and i just miss dick cheaney and his hunting accidents. probly alot of typos but i dont give two shits.
@flying kfc have u see what has gone wrong with Obama in office he is a major a*shole and you are just retarted you dnt know shit so shut the f*ck up about politics and go smoke a fatty u pothead cocksucker
first of all cool beans talking shit over a f*cking picture bro. second of all the only one sucking cock arround here is ur faggety ass two foot tall jumps. i said i dont give a shit about politics. i also said obamas a tool .i dont feel like paying 90 dollars if i decide i dont want health insurance anymore. but il start looking at that shit once i can vote until then i have no business looking at all that bull crap. so have fun being a bitch on the internet. and seeing as im six foot one 206 and can run a 6:30 mile u can suck my right nut smoke weed every day. p.s. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFlLtX8bzjA

... I wonder if McCain won the election would this ACTUALLY be a picture of the old fella doin' a wheelie in his wheelchair instead of Obama cruisin' on his fixie??
Obama is NOT a muslim! He has attended the same christian church for something like 15 or 20 years , and he has publicly said, what his EX-pastor (oh pastor, christian church) is not the opinions or decisions of him or his up and coming administration. He WON so McCain can get outta town. If you sat down during the campaign and compared what McCain and Obama wanted to do with the Economy anyone but an idiot would see that McCains plan would have only put America in deeper debt, by keeping tax cuts up at the top of the economic scale, keeping tax cuts on those who need them the least. Obama's stimulus package has been hailed by pretty much all economic analysts as a smart choice for America, the road building and infrastructure overhaul will create millions of jobs, putting lots of money back into the system and gradually rebuilding the credit system from all the extra industry and public spending. As for Democrats taking back the senate, well good for them, Democrats holding senate majority does not spell out COMMUNISM, it simply shows that when the republicans were in control they did a poor job. This is a switcheroo election year, when one party does poorly for a long time the other party is often voted into power for change. CHANGE- means a new direction, away from the last eight years of Bush administration misdirection, he is going to maximize government efficiency and tax those who can afford it, especially huge corporations who can deal with it, not local business' that truly help america on the level that matters most: local. This does not mean that those families who make less will have no taxes, all will have taxes just like now, the tax system will simply be more proportional to earnings. Also Obama's health care plan is a wise move, The United States has one of the worst healthcare systems in the industrialized world. Last I saw the list we were rated behind countries many people probably haven't even heard of. Obama will make it so everybody has access to the federal health plan, if that isn't what your employer chooses then there will be a slight payroll tax on companies who do not provide it to help the government provide it to all.
All the people on here that have said nasty things about Obama above are probably the people who are threatened to be taxed the most by Obama's policies.
i dont give a shit and will learn to speak English. i just went to votechooser.com and it said i was like obama but i dont give a fuck because im not 18.
I think him not wearing a helmet is the least of his worries... he is a chain smoker. if he was concerned with his health he would take first things first.
dudes, i think we should all stop crying because we cant do anything about him being our president, he is the president and we have to wait 3.5 more years
people say john mccain hussein to make fun of the redneck republicans that say obama will be a bad prez because his middle name is hussein. not much to get.
more like most of the people who vote, dont know anything about politics and vote based on either 2 parties. voting for Obama because he's black or because you arent republican isnt a valid reason to vote for him. and same goes with McCain, the reason people voted for him was because he's not black and he "seems" to be for the rich and conservative; there aren't only 2 candidates at every election. look at other's like Ron Paul (who i support) or even Ralph Nader.
sxman, you are retarded. stop acting like a yuppy conservative, when you live in the shitty central valley. im a yuppy conservative, but you don't have to be a dick. unfortunately i live in marin, but im not disrespectful towards anyones views. Oh clever sticker with the "nope Nobama 08" on your Xterra.
dude, i know more about politics than you think. im majoring in it in college this year. i know that most places away from the california coast tends to be more conservative. im very conservative, but i wouldnt label myself as a republican. dude im in the same boat as you but in a more liberal bubble. the bay area is liberal as hell. prius' and "obama 08" stickers and No on Prop 8 signs everywhere. Marin County is as liberal as San Francisco.
I just find it funny how this site is called PinkBike. Nowhere in the fine print does it include Politics. Would every shut the f*ck up? Its obama riding a bike, lets be serious.
Its funny. Between scavenging for food and building fires, I was unaware that African's even know what a bike is, let alone how to ride one. Well, I guess bama is half white.
And talk about economy... He spent over one billion dollars.. just on advertiseing and for the election... before they even started both of them sighned a contract saying they wouldn't spend that much... wat a waste... are economy is falling out of the sky.. and he goes and spends a billion dollars to get to the officec.. then like Ryan said he's gunna tax the shit out of us.... absolute mistake.....NOBAMA oh well....
thats because a majority of the obama voters were uneducated black voters from urban areas. Or I'm sorry they were somehwat educated, fucking Oprah said she was down with Obama so theres an easy million right there. face it our tax dollars are going sky rocketing, at least those with family members that worked hard and did well for themselves, they are going to be stripped of their rewards just to keep obama's security up so his ass won't get shot.
no but i'd say half of the urban voters thad didn't vote previously came from the fact of black people saying let's support our first black president nominee regardless of policies he may have.
to end it this way: I don't really care what your opinion is, because its not going to change mine and it's not going to get Obama out of office. But wake up and smell the flowers, realize when you are damn wrong and when this country goes to utter shit, I won't be the one saying I told you so, I'll be the one working my ass off to fix it.
I'm not damn wrong. You said "a majority of the obama voters were uneducated black voters from urban areas." That is wrong. You cannot possibly argue that it is right. Stop trying to change what you said, just to be right. Either admit you were wrong or stand by your comment. You have dont neiher.
ryanl2519, noone care what the f*ck you have to say either, but you keep posting like we give a shit. why not shut the f*ck up and give us a rest. anyone that thinks mccain would have run your county better is clearly a moron. bush f*cked your country up enough (and my country ffs, c*nt) and mccain would have just made it worse (and palin, well, she would have just destroyed it)
mccain has almost the same politics as Bush. Bush ruins your country, logically, McCain will just do worst. So you don,t really have choice to vote for Obama, and personally, I think he will be a good president and he will bring some new ideas. I hope for you that he will create a better health service, as in Canada, and btw I really laugh when I read comments from McCain supporters. They are soooo fucking desperate.
When did this discussion turn to what our governments are doing to each other? I dont give a shit what is going on at that level, I'm talking about the Civilian level. You don't hear us Yanks saying "Oh yeah I'm glad that Blair guy is powerless now, he sure was a wanker." I'll say it again to make sure it goes through, Stay out of our Politics. You seem to think that because our governments are constantly arguing, that makes you justified to tell us Americans what to do. At a civilian level we stay out of your business, stay out of ours.
you honestly have no idea do you...
seriously, stop talking about politics, it is clear you know nothing about it.
ps. i am not going to respond to whatever petty reply you post, as it is evident you are clueless about the matter in hand.
OK lets test that theory. You couldn't just shut the f*ck up you had to TELL me that you were going to ignore me. And if you read all of my responses you might notice that I have no political bias whatsoever, I just don't think you need to be telling us which of our candidates is better.
palin is a joke. no doubt about it. But obama is way more of a moron. He's not a normal person. he's gonna tax the shit out of anyone with any money. The only reason he won was because black people just vote for him regardless of what his policies. The only reason he won over suburban areas like New England was because he straight up lied about his policy. He changed it just for the rich people saying he wouldn't tax them. Obama is gonna ruin the American Ideal we have built up over the 225+ years we've been a country.
damn 44's- watch the howard stern video of interviewing black voters in harlem about why they voted for obama. The f*ckers thought palin was his running mate. So many uneducated votes went to the guy. He straight up just doesn't deserve to be in office. In any luck, he'll get dusted off before he even gets inaugarated. Then we're all stuck with the joke named Biden.
you are an ignorant racist piece of shit. how many working class whites thought that Obama was a Muslim terrorist? and no, president bush took a huge dump all over the American economy. The Republican administration ruined America, especially our image as war-mongers, and it is going to be Obama who can help restore our image.
ok idont understand why you don't understand. mccain= tax brakes for large corporations obama=tax brakes for small companies operating within the country and middle class people like us i dont know the statistic but some small percent like 5 or 2 of people own 80 or more percent of money in the US it makes alot more sense if you listen to what they accually say instead of what mmcain says obamas going to do and it's pretty clear that the only people in the world pretty much that dont like him are i'd have to say are fairly narrow minded maybe a bit racist, the rich people at the top and die hard republicans but i cant tell you what to think i can just tell you what lies you are believing from a 70 year old guy and a lady about as smart as martha stewart
ok im not talking about the middle class i'm talking about obama and what he is going to do for you and me.
and when you say people were voting for him just because he is black you have to understand that alot of people didn't vote for him because he is black or he has the middle name hussain. Everybody is being effected by this election and they all have the right to vote for who they want for whatever reason they want you can't just call them stupid fuckers. i watched that video and it is petty sad but you also need to do a little research before you make up statements that are completly false
mccain= tax brakes for large corporations obama=tax brakes for small companies operating within the country and middle class people like us your an idiot. What do you think about oSama lowering the tax bracket? if he had any real intention of stimilating the economy using this method, he would not be doing this.
i think he is referring to the fact that democrats try to close the gap between the rich and the poor but by calling me a socialist he obviously has no idea about politics and governments
close the gap between the rich and poor. that is the fudemental basis for what socialism is. you speak of him not knowing anything about politics and government, but you have shown that you have no understanding as well.
He's taking away money that the rich don't really need or spend and saves the poor from spending money on taxes which they will put right back into the economy to stimulate it. Not socialism.
ya because your the judge of whether or not rich people need there money. Personally, my family has money and and we need it. just because you have an excess of something doesnt mean you dont need it.
And you must not really have anything intelligent to say about why he is bad, so thats why you had to resort to that idiotic comment. Try using a real reason to dislike Obama next time.
ok stinkyprimo888, your an idiot and people like you give the Republican party a bad wrap. but i could get into a million cases as to what oSama is doing to f*ck our country up.
you can't share your opinion. you spelled won, "one"
but McCain should have won. Any chance of our economy regaining strength was lost at about 11:00 pm tonight. And too bad if you want to go to private school. Obama also hates America. What person running for president refuses to wear an American Flag pin. He wants to change the flag when he gets in office. This guy is no American.
you said it ryanl2519. there is not one obama supporter out there that can tell you what his plans are, they just want "change", what kind of change? no one knows. If you want change i have a nickle for you. oh and what you said about the flag, it will now be changed to the flag of Soviet Union because obama is a communist.
Are you guys kidding me? Seriously, have you f*cking read a newspaper at all in the last six months? WTF is this about Obama not being American. His mom is from Kansas and he grew up in Hawaii. Is Hawaii one of the fifty states: yes. McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, not even on American soil and that is a fact. How can you even think that Obama is a Muslim when there was even a huge controversy about his CHRISTIAN pastor Jeremiah Wright. Plus, if you watched any of the debates, Obama clearly stated his economic policies of taxing citizens with an income of over $200,000 for example, while McCain simply vaguely stated that his policies were just better than Obama's, not even concretely stating his policies. And for the record, he wore a flag pin at the last presidential debate, and no, he is not a communist.
yeah I've read a little more than a newspaper to keep up with the past election. Obama had no pride in america. He wants to change anything and everything and probably will succeed since our gov. is basically a socialist regime now. In multiple interviews he states he doesnt like the american flag and doesn't like the anthem, he wont even put his hand over his heart when it plays because, "he doesn't like the fact that it references God" and yes he has a Pastor, a pastor that praises "God Damn America" for killing only black people. And God Damn America for the government creating AIDS to keep the black man down. THOSE ARE GREAT CHRISTIAN MORALS THAT I WANT ALL MY KIDS TO HERE. And Obama straigh up lied to the public. He changed his policy for the rich people just to get their votes then when in a urban atmosphere would basically turn the people around with a "blame the rich" approach.
ryanl2519, Obama has LOST some pride in America (and for good reason.) Much different than having no pride in America. He has worn an American Flag pin. He has put his hand over his heart during the national anthem. Obama actually does tell what he will do to better the economy, while McCain claimed that he would help the economy, but backed it way less than Obama. If you believe that McCains choice of Sarah Palin for his VP was an intelligent choice, please check yourself into a mental institution for the safety of others around you.
ryanl2519 and everyone else who thinks that obama is a communist and that our country will become socialist obviously has no idea how our system of government works. google system of checks and balances and u will c y no 1 branch of government can control the government. therfore the president cannot control america as bad as you think. his veto on laws can be overridden by a 2/3 majority vote of congress. and who cares if he is a muslim, are you that racist and shit that every1 who is a muslim is a terrorist? wow way to be an american and say that all men are created equal. and there is something called "the separation of church and state" that doesnt let religion interfere with any government matters. so every1 who thinks that obama is a commie or a terrorist should stop being so irrogant, racist, and stupid and should actually learn some shit before they talk it.
wow, you actually think that the seperation of church and state stops religion from interfereing with goverment....the "seperation of church and state" is not even a law, the democrats are just trying to wipe all religion (especially christianity which has tons of good morals) out of america
your right its not a law, but the 1st amendmant protects everyone's religous rights and says the government cannot get involoved in people's religions. therfore if the government cannot get involved with people's religions, and they cannot have an opinion on religion, then religion cannot interfere witht he government
and why are people so devided over politics, i have a question for every american here; are you a Democrat, Republican, or American. think about this one. it seems that we either have a republican government, democratic government, but never an american government. people are so devided about this and its tearing americans apart. look at people argue over the president and how the 1st thing they think of is their political party, not how patriotic they are
pake you are fucking stupid. Congradulations you know that there is a check and balance system in america and anything the president does has to be approved by congress. BUT most a majority of the seats in congress are held by democrats so all of obama's ideals and liberal agenda's will be passed easily in congress. learn your shit before you open your mouth.
pake i dont't know if you saw more than who won the presidential campaign, but the democrats now run every aspect of oour government, Obama is just going to appoint democrats to official positions. They control the house. They control the senate. It's socialism. socialism due to the uninformed vote. i never once said obama was communist or terrorist. i never mentioned anything about being muslim. I'm saying what was put in his head by his pastor is disgraceful. Have you ever heard him preech, it is so anti-conformity and anti-American.
and then the supreme court has the final decision after congress overrides it. they can deem it unconstituional and veto the law without opposition. and i dont really care about presidents or who won. i just wanted to point out people ignorance. i just kno that something needs to happen to get us out of this shit hole of economy we are in now and i dont care who does it. read the other post, ppl should care more about who is going to help rather than what political party they are from
well unfortunatley, what political party you stand for shine light on who and how you think the country's economy should be fixed. and a little fyi, democrats already get to appoint their own judges to the supreme court. you're not making sense. i can't tell if its the way you typed it or if its a complete misunderstanding of how our government actually works.
socialism is an egalitarian society, and yea presidents usually appoint people of their own party to high positions. their cabinet is always their own party. and other positions go the same way. i think we shoul all see what our knew president will do b4 ppl bash him. but i cant say more that my previous post about people being separated and how they seem un-american. i kno ppl will always have political preferances, but it is getting in the way of patriotism
prolly the way i typed, my bad. what i meant to say was that its the president to appoint supreme court justices when they are needed. but yeah i kno what u mean about ur political party is a label of what you stand for, cause that's what they are for aint it? im just saying ppl seem to get a little too devided about it. like last night when john mccain made the speach in arizona after he lost, he congratualed barak obama and everyone was like "BOOOOO" and they are boing the leader of a country. i dont care if he is from another party, we still need to work together to work this shit out. they shouldnt boo another american, especially our leader. I guess what im trying to say is that the american people need to come together, throw away differances, and be more patriotic. becuase is aint gonna be a political party that will lead us out of this economic shit, ultimaly the american people need to work together.
we all know we need to work together, but the fact is if you have a leader who craps on everyone faces... the folowers (us) then everything gunna go down the toliet... if we dont have someone who can be a good leader...
he cant do shit about the economy he jus just gonna fuck this country up complty. hes a socialist thats like if i worked the whole day as hard as i could and you didn't do a damn thing but you get paid just as much as i did and people that took control of ther lifes and made a good living have to give ther hard earned money to the slackers and hobos that dont do a damn thing and you think thats gonna fix the economy! ha, your funny!
"I see that you dislike Palin, disregard the last comment."
When I said this, I ment to disregard the last part of my comment, not the whole thing, in which I said:
"If you believe that McCains choice of Sarah Palin for his VP was an intelligent choice, please check yourself into a mental institution for the safety of others around you."
But that part only doesn't apply, because of this quote from ryanl2519:
yeah, but oppinions that come out of the air shouldn't help someone get into office. obama didn't wear a flag pin so he wants to bomb america, palin governs a lowly populated state so she isn't qualified for any position, etc... (dumb things like that). oppinions should be a point of view of a fact.
hey i hane an idea ryanl2519 stfu u peice of shit okay go have yer period somewere else plz and if u dont like the facto of obamma being the president then go live somwere else and stop fcking talking about it som much or u could alwasy just die that would help everyone thx douche
I'm sure thats communism "hes a socialist thats like if i worked the whole day as hard as i could and you didn't do a damn thing but you get paid just as much as i did and people that took control of ther lifes and made a good living have to give ther hard earned money to the slackers and hobos"
i for one disagree on bothsides. Both of these candidates dont follow the constitution, which is our highest law. If McCain won, he still would have the same exact policies as obama because both of them are just puppets for the richest people in the world. Obama is socialist, not quite communist, and McCain is a fascist. I like Ron Paul because he supports our civil liberties and wants to restore our country to the way it was ran before 1913 (before the Federal Reserve Act). We need smaller, states rights controlling the country because not every state is the same. like on Education and taxes. Federal Income Tax is a fraud, look it up. IRS is a fraud. Why isn't Obama getting rid of National security? National Security was only made to have the federal government take away citizen's rights and freedoms, like privacy.
ok thats just my opinion. at the next election, please look for the candidates that ARENT in the democratic and republican parties. they are both funded way to well by the rockefeller's and other wealthy families who control the US's monetary system. they in actuality control the country.
holy f*cking political discussion. all i have to say is oBOMBa is all talk. you hear his speaches in commercials and on the radio and everyone gets all stoked but in actuality he hasnt done shit for us. eveyones still hurting, school are closing, babys are getting left in the streets, and puppys are getting put in blenders. whats a world without puppys? were pretty much in the shitter. but maybee hell die of lunger cancer soon because of his addiction to cigarettes. bring on the negative props.
^I love you. Finally one person he hasn't brainwashed! Also, notice how all the black people who have commented support him, and a black guy uploaded it...biased much?
