Rock on Obama, a great day in history indeed!
honestly i’m not as enthusiastic as he’s not our president and so what he does won’t directly affect us…but i’m still happy he won the presidential election and not McKain^^….09…we need to send him a couple buckets of black paint…time to repaint the white house..its only fitting lol…
one year later… not that great. kind of ehh. not a bad president so far… but not that great.
i think too many people thought that if they just voted for the guy who bolstered the idea of change, that everything would change. with people like Shinigami00 light-heartedly acting as the poster child for perpetuation and civil stagnancy, it’s really no wonder everything is the same and people still think the white house has something to do with white people.
