Most Who Voted Obama, Did Not Know Why

Prior to the election I asked as many Obama supporters as I could find why they were voting for him? I had one friend give me a reasonable argument for an Obama presidency.

I had asked about ten others, including one of my roomates why they were voting for him. The only three answers I received from these individuals were the following (paraphrased):

1) He is going bring the troops home and end this war.
2) He is going to bring back US respect in the world. (However not one could explain to me how?)
3) He is going to be the first black president.

When asked what Barack had done to prove he would be a great president, I asked each person to name one thing he did. Barack voters were 0 for 10 with answers.

The following youtube clip is of a British journalist who recently made it to the online news. Good example of Obama supporters.

It is a new time. A story has been made.

Read the text message I received at 11:08pm on November 4, 08 from my friend Brian. I replied back "I hope so." "Give him a chance for me," he said. And my last message said, "I plan to, for you as well."

Now Barack is our President elect. I will support him as our new commander in chief. He deserves all the respect the office demands and he will get the respect he deserves from me.

Not sure what to think of the media saying, "President Obama, president of the world." Maybe it is supposed to be poetry or symbolism? So far I do not get it. Perhaps it is in response from people like supposed entire countries wanting Obama to be our new president and individuals like Achmedinajad congradulating Barack?

Off come the McCain bumper stickers.
