On London Tonight it was just banging on about how the black community in London are going to be going wild tomorrow ... why just them? Why not London citizens in general? His colour has nothing to do with it and why British people are celebrating anyway is another question. Meh.
Obama hysteria

+ He had better policies than other candidates, and a great campaign.
+ He is a democrat.
+ He is young.
+ He isn't McCain.
Sure some people voted because of his colour, but the majority didn't.

Wouldn't put it past who exactly?
What coverage have you been reading? I was just having a conversation about this last week about how that aspect was falling out of the media and his political credentials were centre stage.
They are, this is the New Black Panthers, not the old ones. Seriously racist and dangerous.

Yeah, sorry, I looked at the link properly afterward.

They can campaign for anything they want, it's a free(ish) country. Doesn't mean it's going to happen. Obama certainly wouldn't support it.

Firstly, he isn't black he is mixed race.
I can't wait for the next few years, primarily just to see the smug smiles wiped off the faces of those that are fawning over the new messiah when they finally realise he is just as useless as the rest of them.
Without googling, I challenge any one of you to actually state one of the policies that he intends to implement that will change America and, according to his supporters, the world.
No, thought not.
Style over substance.

A shift towards an energy efficient nation.
And change. General change, which is always good.
Perhaps because after years of repression, segregation and institutionalised racism a mixed race/black person is perhaps now the leader of the worlds most powerfull country?
and of course we can celebrate, bush had a large impact on the UK.. i.e uk joining the 'war on terror' etc.
Exactly. This is his mother Ann Dunham. She is of English and Irish decent.

This is his father. Barak Obama Sr. of Kenyan decent.

Can't for the life of me see why people or trying to score race points by banging on all the time that he is black.
You mean as opposed to Bush, who completely failed to protect his country from a massive terrorist attack, launched two failing wars and left the economy on its knees?
Yes Bush is a bit of 'tard, but I'd like to know how anyone could protect against what happened on 9/11. Suicide bombers/missions are nigh on impossible to counteract, and if you do manage to act in time you get all the human rights nutters on your arse for shooting first.
Plenty of attacks have been foiled, you just don't hear about the bombs that didn't explode.
The problem wasn't so much that he didn't stop 9/11, it's that he completely messed up America's response. Invading Iraq to stop Islamic terrorism is one of the dumbest military moves of the United States' history, especially when you're already involved in a tough war in Afghanistan.
