Ohhhhh Obama.....

mister daily bla bla now president of the USA
how stupid
God bless the USA

now must rename USA

to

UCA

United Communist Amerika ;(

Gee thanks Guido...you make me feel so much better;)

and if you now leave the UCA jojo
your welcome ALLWAYS at southwest germany
YOU know THAT i think !!!

Believe me Guido if things go from bad to worse...who knows...lol;)

That's a good idea. Germany needs more people who work hard to give more than half of their income to the state (cause the politicians know better what to do with your money than yourself).

Is that's what it's like in SW Germany?

the same
half of incoming for tax
if you stupid
;)
i know some ways that is not so much ;o)
i am clever and smart fan ;)

It's the same everywhere in Germany.

Only about 55% of the housholds in Germany live from their income. The others live from transfer payments.

Germany is closer to socialism than the US will ever be...

Are you full time crazy? UCA? What you're talking about? Bush brought pain all over the world, especially over your country and you're still a fan? MacCain is a clon of Bush, nothing more. You can be sure that the strongly damaged prestige of the US in the world (I mean the stupid government and not the people, who I really like) recoverd at least a little bit with the election of Obama................

You know nothing, Sir

think positive my dear, life is life---
oh no, you just changed your color - ar you alright or should I come along :)

LMAO...I'll be ok but you can come along if you can handle the mood swings...lol
Thanks Ingo;)

The dumocrates have no color at all and little soul.....

so bush was the best for the US ? do you mean that ?
if yes ... are you sure ?

MC Cain is not Bush
he has an real different style to think
he was a prisoner of war
he know what war is
...

thanks for your answer guido and leave the weapons in the basement ..

i was actually asking jojo ..

LMAO...you just gave me this vision of Guido that has me rolling Mo:-DDDD

We do not keep weapons in basements ...

Yes...in fact McCain is more moderate than most republicans. He would have created a nice balance in the system if given the chance.

For Guido: Do you think to have an history as prisoner of war is a good precondition for president? The war against Vietnam was one of the biggest crimes of the imperialistic US government, so nothing to be proud of, don't you think? Do you think to kill several millions of innocent people is something to be proud of???

Hey berny, All people, tribes, countries, have all done the same things Raping, murdering men, woman, children, stealing, burning and much more, look at world war 1 Germany and Europe, the young Turks and Armenia, world war 2 Nazis and Europe, japan and USA,these are only a fraction of the Evils of this worlds Nations and Peoples, Wise-up...........! did you not study world history or just failed that study...!

that wasnt directed towards you, it was directed towards guido. ill reply to his again. yeah my comment gets thrown down below. so i can see how you assumed that of me.

it is hard to tell on the comment page what reply goes where
so just in case there is any confusion
both of my smart ass replies were for Guido
but I think JoJo knows that already :-)

May be, we should begin comments like "For Guido:................", to avoid misunderstandings......unfortunately Ipernity doesn't sort the comments in the right way. My apologizes for my comment on Midwesternstock!!

not a bad idea!

i wish people like you would actually think before blowing your load.

you're right .. i think . but this doesn't mean that obama will make it bad . give him a chance

I will...he's got his chance now:))

No, I did not say Bush was the best for the US. In fact, Bush is the reason McCain did not win. Guido is right, McCain is not Bush, but unfortunately he has made people lose hope in the Republican party and I believe that any democrat that would have run, would have won just because of that fact.

The republicans are mostly crap these days and the Dummcraps are Stupid and evil on most issues, I DO NOT FEEL GOOD ABOUT EITHER PARTY...
obama is Killing Us, Mc Cain was not smart enough to win and the people who voted obama were not smart enough to see the truth... Will the real God please stand up and help us..!

Hey Jo do not feel too bad every change brings new opportunity< I have not been fallowing whats going on in your country been too busy having fun.. America need to change something any way all the trouble u people have something needs to be done.. what have u done to you hair maybe u got gray over night from this bed news.. take care big hug for you

I'm glad you have not been following this mess Nada...you would turn grey like me....LOL
Yes, change is what we need and let's hope it's change for the better...Hugs:-D

....JoJo....u mention your disappointment in the majority of the American people....my exact sentiments 4 years ago, this evening....let's just hope things will work out for us all....btw....i luv your nails :-)

Thanks Cindy....and Amen to that!:-D

the new borat movie now in movie theaters ;)

They have the same smile! LOL:-D

grow up, Guido, how old are you?

JoJo, I am here with you. We will hope and pray that he will do a good job. But, I think we will have to watch our wallets.

Yes, I agree J...watching our wallets is def. high on the priority list.:))

History shows that every president, whether right or left, moves to the center during their presidency. So my hope is that Obama will truly be a uniter and back off some of his wild "redistribute the wealth" discussions. But the "card check" union issue will be devastating to businesses large and small, which is one of the first things he pledged to do.

But overall, I have some "hope" that Obama will be more of a centerist.

Thanks Dave....like I said, only time will tell. All we can do is hope and cross our fingers:-D

I'm sad that you are unhappy, but Barack Obama personifies the will of the majority of the people of this country, I'd have preferred Dennis Kucinich, as I think Obama is too centerist, but that wasn't to be. I do think Obama will be a good change after the disaster that was the Bush years. Bush pushed us right to the brink of financial collapse much like that of Argentina just a few years ago. Lets all hope that Obama can bring us out of it.

Thanks Dennis...I'll get over it:-D It's too bad when the will of 48% of the people is considered a minority though. But we have Bush to thank for that. It will be extremely hard for anyone that takes over after his mess to "clean it up".

It has been said that Democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.
- Winston Churchill

The republic will endure and the battle is still joined.

Thanks for you comment Dog...yes, we'll endure. We always have;)

I voted for Obama and contributed to his campaign.
I am proud of it and proud of America. I'm sorry you feel the way you do.

Now how did I know that Nick....lol I voted for McCain and helped in his campaign here in NH as well.
Don't be be sorry for the way I feel....I'm very proud of it:)

My condolences, but let's just hope he will be a good president and make you proud :o)

Thanks Oddur...yes, let's hope;))

Hey JoJo!!! We have Berlusconi in Italy so you shouldn't be disappointed for having Mr. Obama!!!!

Anyway... Good luck to him and to America!

Haha...ok, I can sympathize....lol;)

JoJo sweetheart you know I love you dearly
and I hope you also know I am NOT an Obamatron
just blindly believing all his hype
but truly...this is so much better JoJo
it's not a cure all for our nation...but I think it will
unify us...and it's not that I disliked McCain totally
I admire him
but he doesn't have that quality of unifying the people
and we need this
we need to gain back that American spirit within our nation
that makes us who we are, that wonderful giant melting pot

we need to gain back the respect of the rest of the world that
we've lost over the past eight years
and I believe this is a start

I love you my dear and I am sorry you are so disappointed
I know that feeling
and I'm not belittling your beliefs
just stating mine in a way that I hope could
give you some consolation
BIG HUG !!!
Sherry

we need to gain back that American spirit within our nation
that makes us who we are, that wonderful giant melting pot

HA i hear this for more than 30 years

it s a nice dream for sure but has nothing to do what i see every day in the uSA

sorry Sherry
my private personal meaning

Yes, it's a nice saying when years ago America was really a "melting pot"...when people that immigrated here for a new life where proud of their new country and did all they could to work hard and contribute for their new life. The term "melting pot" came from that. People coming over and mingling in with those that were already here. Taking their own customs and infusing them nicely with american customs and ideas. It wasn't always easy but a nice balance was created b/c everyone was working hard for the same dream and had the same love of their country.

sorry jojo
but this is stupid
i can say i love you but
i can not say i love a country with millons of peoples
and 99.9999 % of it i don t know
i can not say i love you all
????

That's ok Guido....lol
But there really is a big difference in the meaning of the "Melting Pot" of today and the one of over 50 yrs ago when people where immigrants who came here legally were proud of their country and actually were proud to be called American. They came here for the American dream and they worked hard to achieve it...today it seems to be all about "what they can get from America and what our country can do for them.

yes many people call it American dream and as you say people were proud to be call American but now.. they sure try to get out what they can.. all the best dear

the same words in france with jean marie le pen...ah ah .

no you definitely don't see it every day int the USA right now I totally agree
you don't have to be sorry your meaning of the word means nothing to me at all
because it isn't the true meaning so...

Awwww, thanks Sherry.:)))
I just responded to Guido's definition of "melting pot" and how it's changed over the last 30 years...either way, I do agree with you. We def. need to gain back our American spirit and I do sincerely hope Obama will live up to expectations & hopes of so many.
Hugs to you too:-D

melting pot

what a fucking stupid word
in germany the political clows allways saythe same
but in fact ,there is no melting pot
peoples life in the streets with peoples from the same country
gettos
and in the free time they not work hang around with peoples from the own contry they come from
i see it every day with my own eyes in germany
and i think in the usa it s the same
and i see it in the usa many times if i visit the usa

It's not so stupid when in fact people come here and work together for the same goal. It's what made America. But today it is not so much of a melting pot b/c people don't seem to want to fi in anymore....in that sense, you are right.

it not that is a fucking stupid word
but your narrow mind is what is fucking stupid
I mean the word in the exact way it has always been meant
it hasn't changed one bit...meanings of words/ideas/ideals do not change
people do yes...times do yes....
and you could never understand it in the first place being from
Germany and working for the government there...I wouldn't expect you to
believe me I KNOW how imperfect this country is...
I would never EVER claim otherwise
but it's the best the world has to offer or it has been
and that is my hope that we return to a country that we are capable of being.

(=

I agree in a way with u Sherry, America needs to get united and gain the trust of the people.. for the past few years have been nothing but down fall in many ways.. perhaps things will get better and united nation is so much better.. best of luck to all American and the rest of the world

Hey JoJo- we just live in the wrong part of the USA- the fall may be nice up here but every state in the North East went for Obama. We would have to move to West Virginia to find a state that went for McCain. Being a conservative up here is worse than being a Yankees fan in Boston!

hahaha Patrick

and moonshine whiskey
to FOR FREE
in the South ;o)

LMAO! Oh believe me Patrick, being a Yankee fan in Boston is just what has given me quite the tough skin in dealing with living amongst so many liberals...lol
But heck, I don't want to move....I like the challenge. It's what keeps us sharp;)

YOU GOT IT

peoples vote for the gang
and after
WHO cares how peoples life
allways the same
with this political clowns

Obama is awaited like the Messiah. Believe it or not, but the world has changed since 24 hours. There are visible signs. Marseille has won their first match of the season in champions league, it’s the proof that from now on, all becomes possible, even the unimaginable. Yes, we can. The blind will see, the paralytic will rise, the Chinese will surf freely on internet, the Iranians will not hang any more indecent women, the terrorists will repent, no more war, men will live of love, soldiers will be troubadours.

Thank you for your thoughts G.:)

JoJo, Now we've got Hope and Change! I know you didn't vote for it, and the talk radio / fox network bunch can say that spells doom for the USA. But soon The radio and television will have to have equal time for differing views on the same networks and channels. Sort of like bi polar broadcasting. Funny, I saw a video some one here posted about kids in Iran who look to be on the verge of a nineteen 60's style social revolution, but this is fueled by the internet and the kids do not understand the ideology behind the divergent movements. There's probably a lot of the same in the states with the youth vote, They might hear about what a good idea socialism is from proffessors who fled oppressive countries to live here! Seems to me the notion of a dole in london that fed pop culture musicians is a typical thing a kid might go for,... I know I would love to be paid for essentially learning to play music of doing art of some kind or another. No Competition just a big hippie love fest. We share everything and make great music! The trouble is, with out something to rebel against, cultural changes rarely occur. Where's our vietnam? Johnson! music and art was very good during the Nixon era. With out Reagan There would be no hip hop. No Bebop with out Eisenhauer. These theories are just begining to form,... I have a renewed interest in photography, Walker Evans said no politics what so ever when he worked for the fsa. It's a seismic psycological shift on my part. I am not sure where this is going but the new regime makes me want to stop playing music and make everything stop with still photographs,... Silent etc,... until such time as there is need for another exploision. The banality of the homogenized politically correct social order will eventually get blurred into direct action and feirce rebellion. (disclaimer,... I do not know who is making all this up.)

"Hope and Change"

Two words that together mean NOTHING. Just like your post.

JoJo, I mean no disrespect, but have you ever questioned the motives of John McCain? I know you question Obama's, which i must say i am proud of. You know I have questioned both and i still dont feel either would or will bring the change this country needs in the huge spectrum of life. The one thing i can confidently say about Obama is that his presence as our president will send positive waves of racial unity here in the US and around the globe. But i worry thats about it.

What i dont understand is how people can just except misinformation and disinformation as though it were truth or some how worthy of leading a nation. Both voted for our money to be ripped away and fed to corporate greed, yet not once did they give an answer as to why. both support ill advised foreign policy; Iraq war, Blind eye from Darfur is just one of several genocides, full backing on Israel, and talk about Iran as though it was ready to start sending nuc's over seas and harbor "terrorists". Iran spends a little over 1% on their military if im not mistaken. 1%!!!!!! Both cant and havent answered one fucking question in a sincere and honest straight forward manner. this doesnt bother you? JoJo i know you, me and the people that are responding here and elsewhere arent stupid. but when we dont question everything and ask why?! why!? WHY!!!!? we loose our voice.

People excepting these things with out Question are a proof of your nations over all stupidity(ignorance a better word?). I am still outraged that more hasnt been done to stir this nations people to resist the lies of Bush! Jesus!!!! this guy has gotten away with so much its unbelievable!!! and he is walking away squeaky fucking clean.

These 3 things are just a few that no one can deny with any factual or reasonable statement. These 3 things are a sign of corruption and a step farther away from "we the people" and what our country really stands for. And please dont take this comment as a bash on your pride, it isnt at all. everyone should be proud of who they are and where they come from and what they represent. But we should not let our pride blind us from the fact that even a "good" side can become corrupt. I my self dont pick one side. I dont feel that any one side has all the answers. because if they did, we would not be in the shit and slidding in it, things would be good and life would be at the least Just.

Does it not strike you as odd that every nominee that was not allowed to debate in the last several elections.... for example Nader, Paul, McKinney, and so on have clean records, Have actually with out a doubt been for the people, and been actively pursuing the happiness of the people for the people? These people share more selflessness then most priests do. They have nothing to hide. They are active citizens and are active in keeping our civil liberties alive and well. Instead they are labeled as radical and as one way or the fuck other! Yet we dont think twice about what has been done by Bush and how these "popular" presidential nominees beat around the bush when it comes to answering real Questions....(a big big sigh)

I am deeply disturbed by these people. so few on both sides share the view of selflessness. So few on both sides share the truth and even more disturbing is that they talk as though its rocket science. as though us average americans cant understand a fucking word from their pork belly fat fuck mouths. That is disrespectful on so many levels. Neither Obama nor McCain are even close to being worthy of leading this country.

Some figures (Iceland should be the role model here):

Military expenditures - percent of GDP:

USA: 4%
Iran: 2.5%
Germany: 1.5%
lceland: 0%

hmmm...

this seems a little off. where did you get this info Arnold?

according to wikipedia .... 700 billion compared to Irans 6 billion.... ill look more into it(; thanks arnold.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures

My numbers are the military expenditures in percent of GDP, yours is the comparison of the expenditures of Iran vs. the US. That's about 1% as you said.

I got my numbers from the CIA World Factbook: www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ir.html#Military

ahh yes. thank you for the link.

Thanks for your interesting post. That's they main crime of many governments, to spend so much money for military, especially in the US. I can imagine, how peaceful world would be, if this effort and energy, which is spent in military buildup, would be spent in peace building measurements and social help and against hunger in the third world..........

see your comment doesnt show up as a response to me. but i assumed this comment of your was directed towards me. right? hahaha.... profanity is not a bad thing my friend, dont be so easily put off by it. im not running for congress or a speaker of the people. And i certainly would not assume one to be less of a human being if they use profanity every once in a while. but to each their own.
Cheers.

Yes, make love, not war ;o)

Dear Jojo, I believe Obama can change American vision that Bush made worst..I think he has this power, don't worry...People likes Obama here and he is supported by the world, not only American citizens:-)

I just heard some one of an older generation ask, "Who would want to be the president?
'
The economy is a mess, there are so many problems, It might be time to go to Mexico, who is the president of mexico etc,... over heard conversations,... the answers were just as interesting, but after that mindless sceed I wrote earlier, I resign rather than go through the bloody impeachment hearings, trouble Is I don't have a vice president to pardon me and I'm going back to running things autonomously here.

JoJo,
Like I said a month ago, BO is an empty suit. He will flow with the winds and tides that his handlers tell him is the direction to go.

Putin and Akminijad (?) will eat him for lunch - I cry for America. (P.S. - McClown wasn't my first pick either).
FLASH

I don't know how anyone wouldn't want him!! We are making history its about time someone other than a white man is president, maybe next we can elect an american indian since they was the first poeple here in the united states and was robbed of all of the land and belongings by the great american white man, I welcome the change and its been a long time coming......

@berny27

a POW know what war is
and befoer he say to his GI s to there
he think
he can the same have as i am

that s the main different to bush

in that sence i mean

Guido,
I think you should do some research on the affects that war does to the human mind.
...what do you base your views on? are you pro war or or anti war? are you for occupying anothers country or for letting people be responsible for their own lives? do you believe in freedom or simply following the majority? And what does a POW have that another doesnt? he has sorrows that are not of a leaders quality. War is rarely justified. War fucks people up! and it doesnt just affect the person who endured such tragedy! it affects all that know him or her. it creates a hatred and anger that runs deeper then ones own upbringing. i have a father that was in vietnam, both grandfathers and great uncles that served in WWII, Korean war and so on. My Grandfather was the guy who took the US soldiers, packed like sardines, to the shores of Normandy, repeatedly. First one in and last one out. My entire family has endured almost every war known to US soil. War brings nothing good to nothing. It seems to seep the soul out of man and put a rabid dog in return. Dont get me wrong there are and where plenty of decent men that went and came back. My father and his grandfather and my grandmothers brothers, all in all, are and were good decent men, but had and have a mean streak that i didnt need to see more then once. you know what i mean!?

Better yet scratch doing the research on the human brain after war, just go visit war veterans and see what they have to say.

sometimes war is the only possible way to give an terrible dictator asshole a kink in the butt
but the secong iraq war was wrong
iraq has nothing to do with weapon of mass destruction
this a stupid CIA joke

after 911 it was real hard for a president to do the right things ok
but the bush gov make to much errors

now it s history in few weeks

rest in peace ;)

and i think mc cain are a better choice allways
HE HAS NOTTHING TO DO WITH BUSH
he is totally different
ok same party but he is different

i not trust mister obama
he looks for me like a stock market manager in new york wall street
the daily bla bla we all get rich guys ;)


but anyway

the next president have no time for make war allover the world
he must look for jobs and fight against the finacial disasters all over in the usa

Well said Guido. The Bush presidency was a disaster and you are right...McCain is not Bush. Now we must look forward and as an American I can only stand behind the new president and hope he will go with his gut and NOT along party lines.
Thanks for your post.

thats funny, cause it seems to me that even republicans think McCain would be another Bush.....hmmmm well its not a good reason to assume so, no, but wow let us go and look at McCmames voting record shall we? hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now heres Tom with the weather.....

yeah you really dont know.

As a independent conservative, I find these postings interesting! The basis for this nation - the US has been lost in the minds for most Americans who think in ignorance. When we no longer teach that the Constitution is what has guided and ought to continue to guide this nation along with the other Founding documents, we see the rise of candidates and yes presidents who wish to take great liberties - yes outside the bounds of the Constitution.When we completely lose the reason and understanding of our founding of our nation as a people, we will cease to exist.Furthermore it was one of our early presidents, John Adams who said that this country can only be governed by a Christian people.When we lose our heart and soul, our founding and our heritage, we will have lost our way. We will no longer be a beacon shining on a hill to the other nations. We will no longer be a privelege, a destination or a destiny for those who seek freedom from persecution,strife, poverty and war.We will become a broken people disillusioned by greed, selfishness,liberties not envisioned nor guaranteed by the Constitution, etc. If we as Americans truly believe in the preamble of the Constitution which states that all are created equal....and are endowed with certain unalienable rights such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness(or the former: pursuit of wealth) we will come to live as a just and harmonious people - regardless of wealth, race, religion,political affiliation,etc.
Yes we must rid ourselves of the excesses of both government, business and the mis- and disinformation of the mass media (which perpetuates lies and distorts truth). How do we get back: by building a culture of life, smaller government and pledging ourselves to upholding the Constitution.This is the only way back from this "mess" , the edge of the precipice that has brought us president elect Obama.He is only a symptom of what's happening ion the body politic. I think a good start is to support candidates that run on the above ideas like Sarah Palin!We need reform now and I hope it comes in the way we truly need it!

The man I can agree with sound wisdom...!!!!! Amen

ok
kids
stop now the diskuss

the time arrow allways show in the future

the vote is over

BUT

2012 are the NEXT


Guido Q for President √
Low taxes i swear ;o)

Some of the most ignorant comments I have ever read. McCain is a good well meaning man. However it would have been more of the same down hill slide if he won. Palin?? Give me a fukkin break! In one of her last speeches she told us the wars are almost won. Tell that to our troops over seas. Joe the plumber? He wasn't even a plumber. He was thinking of buying a plumbing business.The country is in decline and it started 8 years ago with the senate allowing tax breaks for big businesses locating in China.
Do you people really want the banker, Wall St, and fukkin corporate crooks running things? 10 million dollar a year bonuses for CEOs asking for bail outs???
Hey Cindy!! I am disappointed too. I voted for Bush twice.
The racism out there is is bad for our country.

You know Al you are both smart and as dumb as a rock so you balance out, meaning O..!!
I agree with you about the banks and all of this bonuses business ect. ect.
The fault here is both parties of government and those in big business who are thieves stealing our money and future, who are killing us.... Not the plumber or palin?? Mc Cain wasn't smart enough to win......!
Cheers_

That pic does a good job of showing how I still feel. This Obama is proving to be a nightmare.

Haha yes UC...notice I haven't changed it:)
