There is no way Obama is any sort of terrorist. And quite frankly nobody really knows which of the two would have been better. The British thought Chamberlain to be the best leader in 1939 but things changed and he wasn't. We know nothing about these two apart from a few of their values. Values which would not reflect the vast majority of their decisions in power. Voting history in the senate means diddly. It means you represent your state and your party. We don't honestly feel every Labor MP believed one thing and every Liberal the complete opposite do we? What we have are two people willing to say or do almost anything to get in. That is, after all, their job. But what you do to get there and what you do once there are poles apart. I really wish Obama the best. Without knowing anything about him, he comes across as a well spoken, strong willed and calm leader. The world is obviously a much different place than 8 years ago and a complete change in government in the most powerful country in the world offers at least the chance to start over. Obama has no reason to stick with a policy that wasn't working. He can get in new people and take a new direction that perhaps would have been tougher for McCain. But my honest opinion about the most important thing this will do is have the single greatest influence in racial tolerance in world history. Most other changes happened slowly over time. Obama now has the chance to prove a black man can do anything a white man can, to both the black and white population. And almost certainly other races will benefit similarly. We might as a result see more of the black population striving for things they didn't believe possible, or white people to give black people a bit more of a chance.

Imagine if it did actually happen, an assassination of a black president by a white KKK dude.
The s***t would hit the fan.
