If Portlaoise can have a black mayor than the US can have a balck president.

True, distinct lines can be drawn between the mayorship of Portlaoise and U.S presidential politics.

I'll try to remember that. :rolleyes:

Maybe it's because they don't have a president in Canada? Their head of state is Elizabeth II.

Don't think one person is going to be able to make the radical change that the US needs though, they will still be a bunch of nutjobs....

Not to worry anyway, apparently by the end of 2008 China will be the biggest English speaking country in the world and possibly the next superpower?.

Osama v Obama - the wordplay possibilities are endless ! Well ok maybe not quite as endless as you'd think.

Re hilldog so long as she is checked for snukes and is pms free there are no more risks than normal - besides bill will be there to take over if it gets too much

I did see john mc cain promise to catch osama though so maybe he will come back in the polls ?

Every war and genocide in the world has been started by men, so putting a woman at the helm would be an improvement. Then again, putting Kermit the Frog at the helm would be better than George Bush!

Rubbish.

Catherine the Great of Russia
Various English Queens.

I honestly don't like Hillary. She will always be a PMRC tout to me.

American politics is awful but if I had to choose, I think Obama would do well.
A lotta people claim he's too inexperienced but so were Roosevelt and JFK who did fine (although JFK died awful quick)

Nope.

Women and queer's, both are too unstable for positions of authority.

I like to see Obama elected, just to piss off all those white supremists and KKK idots.

Your talking about over 60 years ago here Dave, in the last 20 years what have the US contributed to our society??.

Jobs. To name just one contribution.

To say that the US Election has no baring on the rest of the world just because you don't like America is a tad blinkered. And just before anyone calls me a yankee lover, im no fan of America's policies eitehr.

And for all those who seem to think that Obama has no chance because he is a black man says an awful lot about your own prejudices. If I like a candidates policies and I think they are an honest (for a politician anyway) I will vote for them no matter what their colour or creed. And I assuming thats how most people look at things even if they are white americans.

I didn't say it had no bearing, I was actually asking why it had such a BIG bearing on the rest of the world nor have I said that I didn't like America at all?...

Well you could just send her to hospital and have her filled with morphine for those five days a month. It'd be like having your appendix removed only a lot more fun and less painful...

Sorry.

PMRC=Parents Music Resource Council.

Tried to stitch up various musicians for "obscenity" etc.
Also the cause of those "Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics" stickers etc.

HIllary endorsed the PMRC before the 92 elections.
I have no respect for the woman.

Thats just one of my own personal reasons, I dislike her policies.

Inflicting this on Politics at this stage would just be wrong.

One thing that puts me off Hillary, even for one term, is that US would then be run for 30 or 35years consecutively by 2 familys (15under bush's and 15 or 20 under Clintons). Its safe to say she won't have any vast changes of ideology from Bill's reign, which was all well and good, but I just think its time for new blood.

I was wary of Obama at first with his lack of experience, but i have to say he speaks incredibly well and he's growing on me (not literally, like some kind of conjoined twin..though that would be pretty cool - "hey everybody, my shoulders running for President!")

Also on FeelGood's thing, unfortunately we're very economically tied into the American market. For example, we're one of highest exporters in the world of microchip technology. Most of these are to the US so any chance on policy (for instance something encouraging inward development in this area rather then importing) could massively effect us. Our pharma sector seems to b going the same way. Effectively at the moment, when the US goes into a slump, we do too shortly after.

Hillary Clinton for President?
