the 3 guys you named started wars... you can add Bush father and son to the list... i don't think Obama's goal is to start a new war though...

personally, Washington and Lincoln were not greater men.. they were named to be great because someone wrote great stories about them, like it was done for a lot of fables... they were acclaimed by hundreds of men, not millions... nobody know for sure if they were that great...

anyway, i compare with the task to accomplish. if Obama stand in the path that he wrote, he may be a good man... that will be history... for now, the guys who say he is just another man among others have nothing to compare with, so it is pointless to bring this on the table.

well at least he broke the white dominance of centuries...

Ok I'm not white and not black and my kind never was imprisoned, tortured, prosecuted, discriminated, or else...
Of course I understand it as an historic moment, but it's mostly about 'redemption' that change... ;)

I think you mean persecuted... and are you sure that's true?
I mean, not just you or your community... but i know people aren't that fond of latinos.
Or maybe i've been watching too many movies :confused:

I'm not trying to make you love him. I'm just trying to show you what people who admire him really see. If you only listen to the speeches, and not pay close attention to the policies, then you only get a fragmented picture of the man, and you end up mischaracterizing why people who like him, like him

and what happens when u hate him ? - by this i mean when he has to do stuff which u dont agree with.

The action to take when you hate it is very simple: we call that ELECTIONS... you go vote.

if you do not vote, you have no opinion...

We digress......:D

Will you be watching the Inauguration of President Elect Obama?

Gabby

No 100% Latino, some Greek 'fresh roots...'
adn they treated me as Gold in the USA, planning to go back soon ;)

What happens when "no opinion" changes to "no option" from where to choose?
When that happens, a nation is completely screwed, my friend!

I am looking forward to the 2009 presidential elections from my country... who should i choose?
They're all the same and all in on it, dirty...
It doesn't matter who's the President, the wheel doesn't stop spinning here.
Pretty much like the russian president, Putin, did when a new president replaced him... his right hand.
Now, as a prime-minister, he's more active than the president, who's his puppet.

I wont be watching it,but one thing for sure, ill have to watch is America messing up the world again.
