Not bloody likely. I can't even remember the last time a President or
candidate even mentioned peace. Bush promised 30 years of war, and
Obama has shown every sign that he is signed up for the PNAC program.

But I voted for him anyway because even if he wants to dominate the
world militarily, at least he won't have people tortured. This makes
him a liberal. Ha Ha.

So I voted for a liberal fascist. Obama never said anything about
restoring anyone's rights or following the Constitution or reversing
Bush's reducing Congress to an advisory body. So I assume he will
continue such policies.

I hope he does not.
Personally, I do not care if the president is republican or democrat
so long as they
respect and uphold the constitution.
I also hope that the election of an African American president will
mend
relationships with many nations by portraying the US as a non-racist,
tolerant
society.

That's right, but there's even more at stake.

We have lost two generations of black youth to what I would call a pervasive attitude of "why try, whitey will keep me down" in the low income areas and their schools. I've taught in those schools -- the "why should I care, it won't get me anywhere" mindset is pervasive and contagious.

If I were still a teacher, I would L O V E to be in a low income black school right now. I can tell you that EVERY SINGLE TEACHER is now (well, and has been since the first caucus) saying "don't give me that bulls(*(*&t! Iowa is 97% white, and a BLACK MAN WON THE STATE! THIS IS AMERICA! THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN KEEP YOU FROM BEING EQUAL IS YOU!!!."

What a great time to be a teacher.
