Obama Wins

I've known this since yesterday afternoon, but was wondering what to say. I don't like Obama. I think he's every bit as dumb as they made G.W. Bush out to be, but with an inclination towards something very evil right from the start. (At least, the Bush Administration did not begin stumping for torture until push came to shove.)

But at least, it is a tribute to the US that a man who could have been a slave seven generations ago can now be elected President. That is part of why the US is now the greatest nation on Earth. So, congratulations to African Americans on the election of a black (mulatto?) man as president.

I just wish they chose another black man.

So, what are pro-lifers to do now that the most pro-abortion presidential candidate in US history has been elected?

Whatever the new strategy is, sign me up for the Rebel Alliance. With Obama as president, people like Lagman are going to get a lot of foreign money to promote their acrid proposals in this country.

On the bright side, its not all bad news coming out of the US.

Prop. 8 in California passed.

Same sex marriage goes down in California! Who would've thought it possible?

Sweet. :D

Most of the state's highest-profile political leaders -- including both U.S. senators and the mayors of San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles -- along with the editorial pages of most major newspapers, opposed the measure. PG&E, Apple and other companies contributed money to fight the proposition, and the heads of Silicon Valley companies including Google and Yahoo took out a newspaper ad opposing it.

On the other side were an array of conservative organizations, including the Knights of Columbus, Focus on the Family and the American Family Assn., along with tens of thousands of small donors, including many who responded to urging from Mormon, Catholic and evangelical clergy.

So, with Prop. 8. it was the big dogs vs. the little guys. And the tiny Rebel Alliance won. I think Joao would call this a "punk moment". (Oh, and screw you, Steve Jobs. I'm a PC.) 

I'll end with that note.
