That is commendable and that is a good sign of Administrative accumen. At least Powel knows that. Talk about expert approval of a good Administrator to effect the change we need at this time in the world. He is not just THE ONE,he is the CHOSEN ONE.

Although I thought I might vote Republican in the beginning, that all changed when he picked her. America is too smart to vote for a pretty face that does great on SNL but knows nothing about running a country. I hope that eveyone listens to what McCain had to say in his speech tonight. It shows that he really understands America. It's time we work together and bring our great country back. McCain shot himself in the foot when he picked Palin for his running mate.

I am not an Obama supporter, but I could never get behind McCain's clear lack of good judgement. I think Obama is the lesser of two evils though, so hopefully he turns out to be a good president..

Will see what the winner can do to improve our economy. It's not time to celebrate yet, because the four years ahead is when the leadership will be proven. Let's all pray for those who win and those who lost the election. Every candidate has something to offer for this country. Their ideas might not be the same but this is the beauty of democracy. The people has the chance to decide for themselves who can best serve their agenda or ambition. Leaders can lined up their best ideas and surround themselve with best advisors but the ultimate decision is the will of God. Natural calamities do happen like 9/11. Did we see it ahead of time, no. Let's just hope that we don't have this kind of disaster for the next four years. God bless... The election might be over, but the country's problem still has to be tackled. Will see what the winner can do to improve our economy. It's not time to celebrate yet, because the four years ahead is when the leadership will be proven. Let's all pray for those who win and those who lost the election. Every candidate has something to offer for this country. Their ideas might not be the same but this is the beauty of democracy.

Why? If we're so ignorant as to treat the election like its some kind of football game, how can we justify being the world's superpower? The rest of the world's growing up while we act like a bunch of football hooligans. Its going to take a LOT more than a new president to fix that. Whoever wins we still lose, my friends. Why?

I have absolutely no problem that a black man may be elected I have a problem that so many people see that as THE issue. If you are happy that Obama may be elected be happy because of WHO he is and WHAT he will do, not BECAUSE he is black. That honestly has nothing to do with if he is or is not good for this country, how he will lead the country or his policy. It is like saying when Kennedy was elected, " I am so proud to be an America because they elected a Catholic", or "I am proud of America because they elected a Catholic". It is ridiculous a man should be based on his merit and what he will do for the country. Race, age, sex or religion should have nothing to do with it and as long as people on either side make it an issue their will be racism.
