Nothing that we haven't already lost in the last eight years. But we may gain some lost dignity back.

If they were a bad choice and messed up the U.S. what do you think would happen? We certainly wouldn't be throwing flowers into the air and shouting for joy. And I'm not just saying Obama, it could be any president. There could always be the chance that we, as citizens, made a wrong mistake in the voting (well, the people that can vote) and we end up w/ a president that completely detroys everything we've accomplished. Getting our freedom, not as much racism (though it won't ever be completely gone).
For all we know, we could pick a president and he is fine the first four years so, naturally, we choose him again and then he is worse...yeah...confusion >.<
But what I'm sayin gis, we could easily loose our freedom, rights, and everything else we've managed to earn and smooth over all these years if we make a wrong decision

We would end up in the same situation we are in now. War, economic disaster...

Didn't you just give a history for the last eight years?

that is the choice needed to be made every four years, and it is a risk, but if you follow the campaign you will know what he stands for.

Sorry I must comment real quick.

Even though it doesn't seem like our country could get
much worse at the moment, it definitely could. 0_0
Hopefully, if Obama is all he's cracked up to be, he can
get us out of this hole we've dug for ourselves.

I did?? Sorry, I didn't really focus on Bush. He creeped me out.

@zed::but we never know if he/she will follow through w/ what they say. so prett ymuch, we need to go w/ our gut instinct on who we think would be best. Not just whoever gives the best campaign and promises the best things.

@carley::Lets just hope that ends up true...we're in a big enough crater...if Obama screws up, we might make it to the center of the Earth

That is exacly right, but during the campaign most of the information about the candidates is made available, I'm with you in not to youst listen at their words, you have to research the person to make an informed decition for that has to be in your best interest.

But most people dont do that, and base their choice of what they hear...which could lead to an incorrect decision and then our whole economy falling apart

You are right. The exiting president proved that.

The people didn't vote for the economy to fall apart.

You DO need to listen to what the candidates say. If you don't you cannot hold them to the promises they make.

well that is a sad part of it along with people voating for republican or democrats only because they have done it all their lives, however I saw people getting involved (and informed) with the candidates in both sides, if you ask me i think this time you guys have made the right decition.

I still can't vote

but I followed it because I got interested
