Really though, I thought it was great. Hopefully.... the next 4 years would be better than the previous 8....

It was a well written and well spoken speech. Very poetic and, as time will tell, quote worthy.
Now we just have to see how things actually go.

He fucked up the beginning, but considering the amount on pressure he's under, and all the hype, I don't blame him. He's just one man, just a human. Fuck you CNN, fuck you American media in general, you propaganda spewing cunts. The news has just been ridiculous. To be honest, the only time the American news was good was after 9/11. They kept all the fluff stories and bullshit off the air, it was just real stuff. Then once the Iraq war started, it was just about the War 24/7, nightvision cams of reporters driving int he night over the desert while nothing happened.... then the floodgates of shit opened up again and here we are today, I am at work hearing some my pals talk about how Barrack Obama is going to set economic justice for blacks, and black people in America are going to be equals now, and all this shit.... DO THEY REALLY BELIEVE HALF THE STUFF THEY SAY!? And the more important question: Do the viewers?

Cunts! I guess they don't complain about the $5 shampoo either!
No but really Joe, I agree... American media (and every major media for that matter) do suck... they distort the picture and often we see ignorance from people who seem to use those networks as their only source...
With that baing said, I think (and hope) Obama will be a good president.
I like him, but you never know how one might act/serve in 'real time'
We shall see.

Obama is full of shit but he's a lot better that GWB and is a position to do a lot of good for you, so why don't you wait and see if he delivers before criticizing... you know there were people who were so stupid that they cried and thought it was the end of the world when Obama won the election, and while I don't think you're that big of a dumbfuck, I urge you to sit back, keep your judgments in the back of your mind and give the my pals a chance.

Not all major news is bad, BBC is awesome! Canadian media is good too, we just never have anything good to report
But the difference between our media and the USA media is our news isn't bombarded on the viewer, it isn't endless repetition with follow up stories from 50 different people covering every angle which gives us no new additional information (besides senseless shit that isn't important at all)... I mean if we have a big story, it breaks, stays on long enough for everyone to be aware then disappears until something new comes up that sheds new light on the story, we don't interview everyone and their dog to learn the dumbest shit.Plus there isn't that sense of fear. When a soldier dies, it makes the news and it's sad, but our war in Afghanistan is not portrayed in the same light as your war... it's really weird, it's never on the news here, I mean it is when something happens but it's not like OMG BE SCARED SOLDIERS ARE DYING... it's hard to describe but there's really a big difference.
And yes it's tl;drville for me today, I'm off work.
Don't you mean 16?
Actually, fuck it... I'm not going to stir shit up.
As much as I don't like his views I hope he does a great job for the country. Someone has to.

i think the speech was quite good. i mean he is very good rethorically... no doubt about that. especially when you juxtapose him with bush which is quite a naturl thing to do in this situation. the hype makes me speechless tho. people act like this is the second coming of jesus or so ...

Unless you were in the military or were on the receiving end of the vast federal cutbacks from Clinton, I fail to see how his era was so bad from an economic perspective.
Actually, Clinton didn't cut very much at all; he just continued with what Bush Sr. started after the first Gulf War. You see, kids, Clinton didn't cut the military in half; the first Bush did...he just did it towards the end of his term.
I had never seen anyone in the military LAID OFF until after the first Gulf War. They literally laid off officers to cut funding, and do you know how they did it? They took a big stack of folders, measured it at about half, and took the top half and set it next to the bottom half and said, "This bunch is fired, this bunch can stay" and that was it.
So, in short, Clinton did pretty damn well by comparison. Sure, he could've showed he had some balls more, and sometimes it seemed that Hillary was actually running the Presidency, but other than that I think he was a good Prez.

Chris Rock's got a point: what are you gonna say about him?
He's well-spoken, he's got a beautiful family, and he's the first black President in the history of the US who's a former Muslim. He's a legend in his own time.
It's difficult to ridicule him because it's like, "YOU'RE A DORK BECAUSE YOU'RE THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD AND YOU'RE BLACK AND A FORMER MUSLIM!!!!!"
And then he dick slaps you in the face with his monster wang.

I like how he mentioned using solar power and renewable energy resources. When i heard that i did something like this in the middle of the casino.
then i ran around and punched some random dude like this
then i ran off
