what bright side ?
Obama is almost certainly going to go down in the history books up with Abe Lincoln. He will be an amazing president.
We lived through the rest of them we will survive Obama as we would have survived McCain.
Survive? Obama will do more than that for America - he will bring the nation so far forward.
I am glad he won but we have yet to see how he will do. My hopes are that he will, my expectations are it will be Washington as usual, my fears are losing more rights and paying more taxes
Paying more taxes isn't necessarily a bad thing imo and some of these "rights" really shouldn't be there at all. I would love to see the US become socialist.
... at every part of that bullshit.
You kind of wonder why European societies have few people in poverty, don't have their ceo's earning 500-1000 times as much as the average worker and so on. The fact is - you, the average US citizen would be so much better off under a socialist system than the current one. Do you want your kids to have good healthcare, education and opportunities or not?
what people in poverty ? with the housing vouchers, food vouchers, health care vouches and everything else they are only listed as living below the poverty level because of the size of their paycheck which doesn't account for all the handouts.
Go and live that lifestyle if it is so good. Thought not? But if you want an example of your own social injustice - look how much every person is expected to spend on their college education. How about you ask Tesla about his recent $5000 medical bill. It would never happen in Europe.
It's as stupid as saying a millionaires kids is living in poverty because he has no money and ignoring the fact his parents take care of him. The so called poor in this country have Uncle Sugar supplying the food & shelter & medical care so aren't poor by any means, just dysfunctional an unable to manage their own life and we pay the overhead for the army of government babysitters that run their lives because they are too lazy too.
So basically if people get sick - leave them to rot? What if the same were to happen to you. Its time you all quit dreaming about that Horatio Alger myth and collectively gained some humanity as a nation. With Obama in charge - hopefully your nation might take a step in the right direction.
it would never happen in europe because you don't have a culture of dysfunctional people like the USA does. They don't even try to make a go of it, just cry they are victims making life harder on everyone else.
11% of birth are to teenage mothers plus all the early 20's girls who aren't established in life having babies creates a giant class of mooches to support.
The morons uncivilized kids create problems for the school systems adding cost to it and many of the kids end up in trouble with the law costing the US taxpayers more money, it's just a snowball effect of dysfunction causing everyone to pay and suffer because of it.
we got people in this country who think just like you do and compare the USA to europe and say why don't we do what they do ,it's because of the moron single mothers popping out babies they are too young to take care of on their own. They don't get established in life prior to having children so they aren't a burden on society.
If you had a proper education system (like on continental Europe - we in the UK have a quite a problem with single mothers atm) - how many of these dysfunctional people would be having children? Education is the only way to break the cycle - but you need to do so with both parent and child at the same time.
There is no educating people who refuse to be educated.
We have these creatures from another planet called school teachers who roll into ghetto school yards in their jaguar's and are looked at as people from another planet because to the ghetto kids they are. We have two societies and no positive roll models in the ghetto's the kids can connect with.
America has a caste system in place with jobs tied to who's crotch somebody got yanked out of and the ethnic group they are part of. It's one big good old boy system with no admittance into the inner circle without an invitation which is only extended to people they can use for something and who will put up with being used hoping to be accepted. Pretty woman do it trying to get into the inner circle and really smart guys do it trying to get into the inner circle.
Our politics is nothing more than the born right ( Bush) on one side against the other side which is nothing more then Revenge of The Nerds ( Obama) The libtards don't care about helping the little people, just taking out revenge against the pretty people born right who weren't ejected from the inner circle for being goobers ( al gore, nancy pelosi )
People like Obama quickly figure out where they stand in places like harvard and the private work force, they stand behind the born right bunch and always will so instead of playing second string to Richie Rich's kid for life they seek out revenge against the rich bastards.
