Parece que vai acabar bem rápido...

Se ganhar:

-Indiana
-Virginia
-Carolina do Norte
-Florida

Já está feito, e vai ser uma vitória histórica para o Buraka[;)]
 
Parece que está decidido.

Espero que o Sr. Obama seja tudo aquilo que tanta gente acredita que ele é, e que consiga corresponder às expectativas de tanta gente.

Eu não estou muito convencido, e os Afegãos e Paquistaneses também não.
:sh)


Já agora, fala-se muito mal da Palin, mas voçês já repararam na personagem do Biden. Ambos os vice-candidatos são erros de casting, ao contrário dos candidatos a presidente, que penso serem excelentes.
 
Muito limpa mesmo... começando na Sarah Palin...:sh)



Isso não é jogo sujo. Jogo sujo é tentar ganhar rebaixando o adversário, falta de ética, intrigas,...

Já agora, o Joe Biden é um Santana Lopes à americana. Entre vices, é escolher entre uma Edite Estrela e o Santana... Ambos muito maus...
 
Digam o que disserem...

A América é um país grande, e não é em tamanho... [;)]

Espectacular...

Congrats Mr President

Grande dia para a humanidade.
 
Saio da universidade já passava da meia-noite, depois de mais um longo dia de trabalho e qual não é a minha surpresa!

As ruas estão cheias de pessoas a gritar "Obama" e "USA, USA", carros da polícia em todo o lado, buzinas, etc! Parece que levam isto mesmo a sério, tipo os fãs de futebol portugueses. [:D]

Agora a ver se há mesmo mudança ou se foi só palavreado.
 
Vitória de Barack Obama

Vitória de Barack Obama

Barack Obama saiu vitorioso com um discurso de mudança.

"Yes we can"


Agora, "we hope" que o seu querer seja real, esperemos que tal como lá a "Real Politic" não envie para as ortigas o "we can" e não o tranforme num "we can't".

Esperemos, que com tão altas expectativas criadas em torno desta eleição, não se venham a revelar num profundo floop.

Pelo menos o Cowboy nunca enganou ninguém quanto ás suas intenções, vinha do Texas, todos sabiam as suas intenções, a sua inaptidão para a politica, e sobre que sombra ele dormia.

Este faz lembrar o menino de Oiro de um determinado partido num estado Europeu, um excelente discurso, uma retórica invejável, umas massas que o veneram, o discurso é o mesmo, é preciso mudar.

Esperemos que as semelhanças sejam só essas.

Uma análise à vitórica de B. Obama o eleito 44º presidente dos EUA.

ANALYSIS-Obama wins on message of change

By Steve Holland
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Barack Obama won the presidency and made history on a steady message of bringing change to a country that has been hungering for it.


The first black to be elected U.S. president, Obama ran a nearly flawless campaign and proved to be a cool customer under fire on the campaign trail and during three head-to-head debates with defeated Republican John McCain.
"It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America," Obama told cheering supporters in Chicago after his victory.


He ran for president during the best possible conditions for a politician running against the incumbent party -- a country saddled with two wars and teetering on the brink of a recession, including a Wall Street meltdown that amounted to an October surprise.
"He won because he was the Democratic nominee in a year that was just perfect for Democrats," said Larry Sabato, a political science professor at the University of Virginia.


President George W. Bush was not on the ballot but it sure seemed like it.
Obama linked McCain to Bush at every turn, even though the two Republicans are not particularly fond of each other and McCain had broken with Bush on several important issues.


It did not matter. Obama had only to keep bringing up the fact that the Arizona senator had voted with Bush 90 percent of the time.
Obama was able to straddle the middle ground, managing to escape McCain's attacks on his liberal voting record as a senator from Illinois, and raised vast sums of money for television advertisements that essentially turned him into an iconic figure.


"He ran a perfect, nearly gaffe-free campaign and he stayed on an absolutely pitch-perfect message," said Democratic strategist Liz Chadderdon.


FINANCIAL CRISIS
Bush's popularity rating under 30 percent was a heavy drag on McCain. Despite an improving security picture in Bush's Iraq war and a rapid response by the Bush administration to the financial crisis, Americans were ready to turn the page.
"Obama just pounded on this theme that we just can't afford four more years," said Democratic strategist Jim Duffy. "I think Bush was a huge millstone."


McCain, 72, ran about as well as a Republican could have in a toxic environment for his party. He won large segments of the country but fell short in the battleground states that were decisive.
"We fought as hard as we could and though we fell short, the failure is mine, not yours," McCain told supporters at a Phoenix hotel. "I wish the outcome was different, my friends. The road was a difficult one from the outset."

McCain was riding a lead in the national polls in September until Wall Street began falling apart, exposing the weakness of the economy. His response was not as surefooted as Obama's, and it cost him.
"The environment was loaded against him, and even with the toxic environment for Republicans, he made it very close until the financial meltdown. That's what finally created the daylight between the two candidates that lasted until Election Day," said Republican pollster Whit Ayres.


Some will question whether McCain should have chosen the inexperienced Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate.
The news media's vetting of Palin drew negative headlines for weeks and some conservatives were sharply critical of McCain's selection of her over other more experienced Republican leaders.
McCain ignored the critics.
In his concession speech in Phoenix, he called Palin "one of the best campaigners I've ever seen," and an "impressive new voice in our party for reform" -- a statement likely to be fodder for speculation about the next presidential election -- in 2012.

I Didn't Vote For Obama Today

November 4, 2008, 9:37AM

I have a confession to make.
I did not vote for Barack Obama today.
I've openly supported Obama since March. But I didn't vote for him today.
I wanted to vote for Ronald Woods. He was my algebra teacher at Clark Junior High in East St. Louis, IL. He died 15 years ago when his truck skidded head-first into a utility pole. He spent many a day teaching us many things besides the Pythagorean Theorem. He taught us about Medgar Evers, Ralph Abernathy, John Lewis and many other civil rights figures who get lost in the shadow cast by Martin Luther King, Jr.
But I didn't vote for Mr. Woods.
I wanted to vote for Willie Mae Cross. She owned and operated Crossroads Preparatory Academy for almost 30 years, educating and empowering thousands of kids before her death in 2003. I was her first student. She gave me my first job, teaching chess and math concepts to kids in grades K-4 in her summer program. She was always there for advice, cheer and consolation. Ms. Cross, in her own way, taught me more about walking in faith than anyone else I ever knew.
But I didn't vote for Ms. Cross.
I wanted to vote for Arthur Mells Jackson, Sr. and Jr. Jackson Senior was a Latin professor. He has a gifted school named for him in my hometown. Jackson Junior was the pre-eminent physician in my hometown for over 30 years. He has a heliport named for him at a hospital in my hometown. They were my great-grandfather and great-uncle, respectively.
But I didn't vote for Prof. Jackson or Dr. Jackson.
I wanted to vote for A.B. Palmer. She was a leading civil rights figure in Shreveport, Louisiana, where my mother grew up and where I still have dozens of family members. She was a strong-willed woman who earned the grudging respect of the town's leaders because she never, ever backed down from anyone and always gave better than she got. She lived to the ripe old age of 99, and has a community center named for her in Shreveport.
But I didn't vote for Mrs. Palmer.
I wanted to vote for these people, who did not live to see a day where a Black man would appear on their ballots on a crisp November morning.
In the end, though, I realized that I could not vote for them any more than I could vote for Obama himself.
So who did I vote for?
No one.
I didn't vote. Not for President, anyway.
Oh, I went to the voting booth. I signed, was given my stub, and was walked over to a voting machine. I cast votes for statewide races and a state referendum on water and sewer improvements.
I stood there, and I thought about all of these people, who influenced my life so greatly. But I didn't vote for who would be the 44th President of the United States.
When my ballot was complete, except for the top line, I finally decided who I was going to vote for - and then decided to let him vote for me. I reached down, picked him up, and told him to find Obama's name on the screen and touch it.
And so it came to pass that Alexander Reed, age 5, read the voting screen, found the right candidate, touched his name, and actually cast a vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Oh, the vote will be recorded as mine. But I didn't cast it.
Then again, the person who actually pressed the Obama box and the red "vote" button was the person I was really voting for all along.
It made the months of donating, phonebanking, canvassing, door hanger distributing, sign posting, blogging, arguing and persuading so much sweeter.
So, no, I didn't vote for Barack Obama. I voted for a boy who now has every reason to believe he, too, can grow up to be anything he wants...even President.




O Peso é elevado... vamos ver...
 
Curiosidades:

Alguns "McCainistas" afirmam que Obama deve ser investigado por não ter provas que nasceu nos EUA, segundo esses indivíduos o novo presidente deverá ser alvo de impeachement se de facto se provar que nasceu no Quénia e não nos EUA.

Engraçado é que o Mccain também não nasceu nos Eua!!!

[:)][:)]
 
Parabéns Obama.apr:) Vamos lá a ver se ele não defrauda as elevadas expectativas criadas.

Para ser sincero, eu sempre desconfiei de pessoas que falam muito bem [:D]

Por isso... vou esperar para ver [;)]

Já agora, esta eleição quebrou mais um mito sobre os Americanos: o mito que afirma que eles são muito racistas.

Os USA na altura controlavam o canal do Panamá. [;)] Também tens Portugueses que nasceram em África, Timor, e Macau que são Portugueses e sempre o foram.

Agora se o Deco pode jogar na selecção Portuguesa, acho que o Obama pode ser presidente dos USA. [:p]

Parvoíces à parte, gosto do novo rumo, espero que corresponda ás expectativas criadas. Para já apraz-me ver alguém inteligente na presidência.

A questão é que só pode exercer o cargo de presidente aquele que nasceu em território dos EUA e não renunciou a nacionalidade.

Obviamente que fico satisfeito por ver um mulato na Casa Branca contudo não acredito que ele tenha o poder de mudar o "sistema" que move aquele país.

Acima de tudo a eleição de Obama define, sem margem para duvidas, uma nova era na história dos EUA.

Tal como diz a jornalista do The New York Times, Elisabeth Bumiller:

"(...) uma nova era num país onde há uns meros 143 anos atrás, o Sr. Obama, sendo ele preto, poderia ser escravo."
