[Most of] us Canadians welcome President Obama

Yay! We’re partying here in Indiana!! It’s been a great night!

I was very split down the middle for this election, but I ended up voting for Obama. I’m excited to see what he can set in motion in his first term.

YESSSSSSS!

Hopefully America showed the world today that we
want PEACE. Not war.
Hope, not fear.

With LOVE,
from
California

USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES WE CAN!!

Yeah I’m so happy for you guys!

In my side of the world we are indifferent, so to say that the whole world celebrates is a generalisation. Independent thinking is a characteristic of those who are rebellious.

I am glad Obama won. I voted for him and so did my daughter. He has a tough road ahead of him. America is $53 trillion dollars in debt. I know he cannot fix overnight (meaning 1 term or even 2 terms) in office but I hope that he is able to put forth economic policies in place to fix the wound left by the Bush Administration and to bring American troops home during his term.

great change is indeed on its way

I am glad he won too, but he’s just the lesser of two evils.

The rebellious Arabs dance to their own tune, what others do or say cannot affect them nor does it mean anything to them…understood?

Go Obama!!!!!!!!!!! my dad lives in France, he got a job there, and he says everyone is very excited and happy for Obama. myself I’m super happy, but sad as, prop 8 in California was approved. (I live in California)

Finally, a family man that respects his wife and loves his children! Obama, a man to look up to! His policies can get women away from McMansions, the sickest symbol of our times, cages and prisons for mindless Barbie Doll surgically altered sex toys for pigs, and give us respect, universal medical care for our children, and environmentally sensible, “Zero upkeep. Zero running cost” technologically updated dwellings for our families. We will get off of oil! This paradigm shift alone will prove too traumatic for some! We will go Solar! We will use Wind! Our womenfolk will no longer die from benzine molecule poisoning, or “breast cancer” as you have been coerced to say! The Arabs will no longer demand our children’s lives in exchange for oil to fight their sick little Sunni war! America will be liberated from oil and once again hold our heads high and look after our own! The super sell out capitalist s of the republican party have been over-ruled, and Democracy and the world are better for it. They may have stolen $700 billion dollars and given it to their banker friends but we can get it back, out of their hides if necessary! The people Rule!

To Uncle B – I don’t know if it’s possible for you to become any more of a tool.

I’m Canadian and I’m not happy with the Obama win. A McCain presidency would benefit Canadians much more.

For all of those who voted for him, congrats.

I am not a Conservative, in fact, my family is mostly NDP, and I certainly have no love for Robo-Harper, so let’s get that out in the open right now.

Electing Obama was a mistake. Granted, electing McCain also would have been a massive mistake, so I guess America took what it assumed to be the lesser shit-sandwich off the tray, but didn’t think before it shoved it in its collective mouth anyway. There are two people Obama supporters conveniently ignore when going off on how amazing he is: Zbigniew Brzezinski and Joe Biden. Both men are Warhawks – both men believe in Israel’s right to slap around the rest of the Middle East. Both men have very shady friends, and both men are close to Obama. Obama has no love for Palestine, either, despite what many people claim (Particularly, funnily enough, the people that attacked Obama over it).

Alright, I’ve covered Israel, now the economy. The United States is right now having the kind of economic “emergency” where the best choice of action would be to take your hands off the steering wheel, and let the ship correct itself. Government intervention is the enemy of the free market – America has a vastly-corroding market, government intervention won’t help. Look at FDR, and how the New Deal was one of the worst economic decisions in world history (and it allowed the Republicans to scoop up the support of the Southern farmers that had gotten raped by it). Now, Obama’s often compared to John F. Kennedy. I cannot for the life of me see why. Biden reminds me of LBJ, though. A lot… Anyway, the thing Kennedy is perhaps best remembered for is attempting to return America back to solid currency, thus stopping rampant inflation, and eliminating the greatest contribution to America’s debt – fiat currency loans. Obama has never said anything even vaguely related to this, neither have his banker and corporate buddies. And while we’re still discussing the economy, health care. Take it from a socialized-healthcare-lovin’ Canadian, implementing public health care in America right now would be FUCKING STUPID. Wait for massive surpluses and to be immersed in the light at the end of the current claustrophobic tunnel before even thinking about doing anything drastic.

Foreign policy: I’ve gone on about Israel, here’s something most people won’t talk about – Russia. Brzezinski, his foreign policy advisor, has gotten a stiffy every time anyone’s ever mentioned bombing Russia. I see the next four years as being pretty rocky for US-Russia relations. Russia and Iran have ties going back centuries, too… Plus, with Obama’s support for Little Israel *ahem* Georgia (whose leaders have dual Israeli citizenships, no less) is a bad sign indeed.

Globalization: Obama seems to be a very globalist president – goddammit. That’s the last thing ANYONE needs right now, more globalization.

Being black: Obama’s only half-black, he’s just as white as he is black, so stop making it important, you ethnocentric twats.

Gun Control: He wants more. A lot more. http://www.pierrelemieux.org/artaubin.html
Anyway, it doesn’t really matter if you think gun control reduces crime or not, most importantly, isn’t it REALLY scary that the GOVERNMENT has a monopoly on physical force? It’s rather Orwellian, innit?

The environment: Obama seems to believe that climate change is entirely humanity’s fault. This seems to be a major part of his campaign. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3069943905833454241 Obama is associated with many of the environmentally-degrading corporations that Gore was such a fan of. Anyone ever heard of Occidental Petroleum? Or is everyone so blinded by “LOL GORE’S AN ENVIRONMENTALIST LOL LOL LOL” that they forget about it? Look it up, folks. Gore’s got some pretty deep-rooted oil ties.

No, I’m not a McCain supporter, at all. The difference here is that McCain never had a chance to win, and he certainly didn’t win last night. I called this election as Obama’s (specifically: an electoral landslide) over a year ago, and it doesn’t look like I was wrong. Yes, Ron Paul was my favourite candidate by far, but I don’t worship the man – I respect him, but we differ or a couple (relatively minor) issues. Fundamentally, at his core, I think he was by far the best choice, and it’s a shame he got shut out of so much. I sure hope that he (or a younger candidate, of much the same ideology, inspired by him) runs in four years – that’s what America needs. Non-interventionist foreign policy, no sacrificing of liberty for the illusion of safety, solid money and balanced budgets, a strong middle class, and no shady political connexions.

RIP Free World – The ideal that we love so much, that’s died a thousand deaths in the past two hundred years. Reagan-Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama… stop the cycle, end the monotony, and elect a small-government candidate that actually has the best interest of his citizens at heart.

The same goes for us Canadians – Dion? Harper? Layton? Bullshit. We need a solid candidate that cares, and it certainly isn’t Elizabeth May.

Hi. I�m happy he won too. I stood up late to hear the speach, which I liked very much.
US really needed a change.
Thanks for visiting mt blog.
All the best. Miz�.

It saddens me to hear so much anger over this, people should be glad, the winds of change are finally blowing, and boy did the world need those winds. Conservative or Liberal, people should be able to see the negative effects that presidency and that party were having.
