It's not that I have anything against Obama I just believe that an insanely huge factor in him winning the presidential race was that he was half black and shouted "change" which is what people want to hear. A lot of my friends voted for Obama, and when I asked them why, most replied "I want things to be different" but when I asked what they thought Obama was going to do to enact change they were at a loss for words. Just seems like a poor reason to vote for the person that's leading the nation. But then again, I guess most people vote blindly...

Anyone else feel the same way?
yeah,I can see that,Im from hawaii and I got freinds who voted and said " we gotta get a local boy up in there!"
I think,thats how things are nowdays......if it looks good we'll invest in it. Take mighty puddy for example, that billy mays guy made it seem like it was the Shet! I bought it.....So junk! Lose Money!
Hopefully Obama wont dissappoint as much as mighty puddy.
