I guess there is more than one way to spell by.

McCain voter?

Good luck.. I might disagree with some of his plans but he is my President. I wish him well, for the wellness of my country.



^{Just please ffs don't be another Carter.}

My wish is for him not to use the US army as a tool for achieving US political goals outside of US sovereign territory. I hope he takes actions that result in people in the rest of the world not raising their eyebrows when they hear the word 'America'. I hope he extends parity of esteem to all of the nations of the world and that the apparatus of his government does not subvert the political processes of sovereign nations (save for sanctions, which any sovereign nation has a right to apply to another) irrespective of perceived 'national interests' of a material or financial nature. I hope the US army becomes one of defense/response, not one of hegemony and enforced 'regime change/statecraft'. I hope he takes unhypocritical morally upright stances on matters of international importance. I hope he curbs the power of lobbyists in Washington (whose reach often tends to extend beyond the borders of the US). I hope he re-engineers capitalism in a manner that rewards and indeed requires fiscal responsibility in the financial sector and among the masses and that generates slow but steady and sustainable levels of growth not +10% followed by -10% every ten years, rinsing and repeating. I hope he is man enough to take meaningful action on the environment, which will no doubt cost money.

This doesnt necessarily mean institutional racism is dead man. Personally I think racism will be alive forever, its human nature. Some people will always have hate towards different groups and try to put them down.

Institutional racism died today? I thought it had been dead for a while. It's kinda contradictory to say that institutional racism ends the day a <black/asian/arab/whatever> gets elected president.

I hope things get better.

The Bush years are over. We can now begin the debate on how best to restructure our world. Obama has a opportunity to make things change. The mandate he has is born of real crysis. Things have to change.

If America is owned by corporations, he has the power to finalize that power, or end it.

I pray that he does the right thing with the power we have given him.

Obama has the opportunity to make the biggest change in US east/west/mid east relations since the end of the Cold War with Russia.  Cut the partisanship and extend an olive branch to those who want to receive it!! 

He appears willing to do what it takes, I just hope he doesnt steer too left and squander this golden opportunity to really do some good on this planet!

I have faith, I voted for him, and I hope he fullfills his promise he made to America!

I think it's better to say institutional racism against blacks is over in the federal government.

Because a black person got elected? How does that represent the end of it?

It doesn't.

I'm just twisting words around.

Um let me put it better an average person in America could look at this and say "Because Obama was elected to president and he is black there must no longer be any racism in the federal government."

That would mean there is still racism in the federal government just not towards blacks but to other races still like Arabs and Hispanics.

But racism against blacks in the federal government isn't over (if there is any that is) considering Obama was elected and not appointed. 

Racism will always be present just not openly acknowledged.

I'm not saying there is any racism in the government. I really don't know I'm not a member of the government.

If any of that makes sense to you +1 cause I wrote it and it didn't make sense to me.

I'm going to the store now.

Since ATG is just a lazy bastard I thought I'd post the fold in solution for you all.
