Why do you hate America?

Au contraire, I'm a big fan, like most Aussies (well, most Liberal Aussies (the Liberal Party here is closer to your Republicans and the Torys in the UK), I suspect most Australian Labor Party voters aren't quite so keen on you).

Wow, how did that happen? I keep hearing that American liberals are more like European Conservatives, and now Australian liberals are more like American conservatives? I'm confused.

At an enormously simplified level:

Liberal Party in Aus=Republicans in the US=Conservatives (Tories) in the UK.

Australian Labor Party in Aus=Democrats in the US=Labour in the UK

Can't comment on Europe, they're just plain odd-ball on the Continent.

I'd settle for Slick Clinton.

I wrote in Bill Clinton on my ballot.

Fuck Clinton. He ruined things worse than W could ever imagine. But anyway, not to make this a p and n thread....where the fuck is my unicorn?

Wow, I somehow missed all that "ruined" you're speaking of. What am I missing here?

People keep throwing that clip out, and maybe it's just me, but I interpret that as, "Obama is going to fix this cluster-fuck of an economy, and then I can finally relax and not worry about losing my job and not being able to afford gas, much less making my mortgage payments."

Is it that I'm too naive, or that you guys are too bitter? :confused:

You're naive.

He is president, not a freaking god. I am so sick of people thinking he can just wave his magic wand, and fix what's wrong in that individual's life. I think it's cool that he got elected, and I voted for him. However, I knew he would just be another president, and I just don't get why he's worshiped like he is...

What I want is time to fast forward to 2-4 years from now, when the morally corrupt stimulus package has failed miserably and everyone hates our new president for spending our children's taxes.

The Barack Obama honeymoon was over pretty quick. A lot of people are suddenly realizing WTF they did by electing a celebrity for POTUS.

I would like to see barack discontinue the use of "Hail to the Chief" and use a more contemporary tune,like "SuperFly" .
