Well the Secret Service did foil the plot of those two Neo-Nazis, so hopefully they'll do it time and time again.

@ Samit-

Likewise. I remember watching Kerry shred Bush in the debates, and knowing all the heat Bush was getting for his performance and decisions...then I watch as he wins the election and I just felt amazed and ashamed. This is a nice step forward, although McCain wasn't nearly as bad as Bush, so I'm still puzzled by what happened 4 years ago. My guess is Kerry just didn't mobilize voters like Obama did.

And I thought Sterling and LordGloom were massive douchebags in the last thread. Way to go!

Wrong. People don't get assassinated anymore. George Bush would be long dead were this not the case.

Well it's not like the US has a good track record with young, charismatic presidents with an amazing speaking ability talking about changing the established order.

I'm just glad I don't have to hear about it anymore. Now I just need the self congratulatory back patting over racial awareness to end. It got so bad on the news stations that I ended up switching to the BBC for the results.
