I'll be honest, I guess you aren't looking, because if you think this election is just the same as every one before it then you need to go back and look again.
Do yourself a favor and watch the news tonight. Read a newspaper tomorrow morning.
Again, start watching the news. Starting reading the newspapers. Start looking at news sites online. If you don't like the information that surrounds you, then surround yourself with different information.
That formula is just how it works in America.

I don't really agree with any of this.
=/ I'm not sure if my opinions will change.
I'll be sure to research more about him,
although I'm avoiding any major news corp.
I'll try other websites (not the TV) and see
if I can find more discussions on something
other than what I've been hearing.
Also, I'm not saying the election is the same
as all the other ones, it does have significance
because of how many lives it's happening to
change and such, I just don't see that as a
person he is any different from the previous
presidents. (excluding skin color)
If that's how it works in America, then it's all wrong.
These kinds of topics stress me out to much.

The idea of having one person that everybody depends on isn't very comforting.
And yes, I know about the Supreme court and checks and balances and everything.
All they care about is what the president is going to do for our country next.
And if their goals are horrible and nobody actually focused on that in the first place,
then we're kind of screwed.

That just shows how much hope Americans have now. He is a change and so we associate that with the idea that he will bring change.

Nice little quote, I get the first two, but how is Obama running going to make children fly?
I'm kind of curious, what kind of change is he bringing? I'm not so sure if my sources
are correct ( a magazine comparing and contrasting Obama and McCain)
