Should Obama be president?

Not quite, herman. Still only a Permanent Resident. :smiley:

Well, updates will be coming…

It’ll be a squeaker,

Well, not so much…

Looks like he did it from over here.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss…

Hoooooorey , comrades!!!
Ours have won!!:smiley:

Not as squeaky as I thought it would be, nor the outcome I expected. Now to see what comes of this. Good thing I have a fresh roll of tinfoil…

I think the media made it seem a bit closer than it was for ratings, and polls suck…

Polls are just more marketing, no real accuracy, just another thing to say when they really don’t know anything at all. And as you say, something to sell for ratings & advertising revenue.

Good to see Obama win but shocked to see the elections could reach the $6 Billion mark.

This 18 year old Republican girl is gaining notoriety because she ‘Tweeted’ that she wanted to move to Australia, because they have a Christian male President. She has since been disabused of that notion rudely and has deleted her account. Australia is actually led by a female Atheist who is unmarried and lives with another women… :slight_smile:

*She does reportedly have a long term boyfriend though…

Nonsense! The Australian equivalent to President is a Christian. In fact she’s got her very own church!

And she’s not Australian, let the guessing being :wink:
(Then again, the Prime Minster wasn’t born there either)

The US presidents are a very true christians in some sense. The Bible Christians ,i mean. FInally, all their external policy turns around the lands , depicted in Bible as ADL informs:)
Just joke…:smiley:

Er … as far as I know, Australia does not have a President. The Head of State is HM Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom etc., represented by a Governor General. Ms Julia Gillard is Federal Prime Minister - effectively the boss in the federal sphere at least. I think she may have been born in Wales. As to her marital status, or religious or sexual preferences, I have no knowledge. As regards Obama as President of the USA - he won it fair and square on the basis of the rules for election currently in place, in turn based on the Constitution of the United States of America. Perhaps somebody Over There would care to change the Constitution to avoid such mishaps ? No - didn’t think so … Best regards, JR.

Pres. Obama won both the Electoral College (what actually decides who wins elections–as much as it’s despised as archaic and fundamentally anti-participatory democracy) and the popular vote…

Quite right, Nick - he won fair and square, on any estimate, and great credit is due to his campaign organisation, which really did the business, Florida included. As regards the archaic quality of the electoral college system - one could say (and, no doubt, I am sticking my neck very far out on this) the US Constitution is a document drafted by East Coast intellectuals of the early 19th century, suitable to those times, at least up to a point. The compromise made then - between Jeffersonians and Federalists - has never really been fully satisfactory. Hence the American Civil War and the legislative sclerosis characteristic of the US system today. As - I hope - a friend of America, I would say that this archaic document should not be regarded as sacred (as it seems to be) and calls out for substantial reform. Will it happen ? Can’t see it … Yours from the Law Library, JR.

The relevant part of the etc. is “Defender of the Faith” :wink:
