Me, too. My brother is convinced that Obama will not make it 100 days into office. I always tell him to think positive. No matter what happens, Obama has already made history!

[AyeWeCan]

hi osaka

we shred you joy in scotland

go obama !

[FreedomFighter307]

@audgeyp The thing is though is he isn't a brilliant financial advisor. Look at our economy! lol of course Im not saying bush didn't contribute to the debt cuz he did but not as bad as obama. Me personally, I think he's trying to destroy the US. He's also trying to take away all the freedoms this country was set up on.

[audgeyp]

@FreedomFighter307 sorry, didn't mean to sound snarky. And I know I'm simplifying things here, but how would you feel if you were a brilliant financial advisor brought in to prevent a company from going under, but as soon as you got there all everyone wanted to do was watch you fail. Either 'cause they didn't like you or didn't want you to get the credit & they wouldn't help you one bit. Wouldn't you feel like sh*t if later on you found out you got blamed for the company going bankrupt?

[audgeyp]

@FreedomFighter307 well, he doesn't have much to work with, does he? An economy that was in the shitter pretty much even before he took office and Republicans who throw up obstacles left and right. Because God forbid Obama would pass pieces of legislation that would help the country out of its woes. And the fact that he would be credited for it! Can't have that, can we? "Lololololololololololololol"

@audgeyp Ya history of being the worst president of the US LOL

[MentallyJuiced]

@bigb771 Actually I am just trying to be fair by adding 5% support for Obama. Out of all my fellow Marine buddys, I have not heard from any that actually support Obama.

[bigb771]

@MentallyJuiced where is the proof, who did that tally and percentage? you're exaggerating and you don't know what you're talking about. baffled by the fact and truth that your president is black, and you have no other choice but to rant false info and unnecessary blurts reflecting your jealousy and self esteem.

yea, we know the truth hurts.

[MentallyJuiced]

@usmcholmans 95%+ Marines do NOT like Obama

[Mrstrongisland01]

@usmcholmans I'm retired navy and I'm sitting here with a retired gysgt and he is pissed off your talking shit about usmc vets for Obama 2012. Shut the fuck up and keep it to yourself. Your making an asshole out of yourself dickneck.

[usmcholmans]

@OIFSpecOps My Marine sons and I disagree - and we laugh at the racist rant. Pooooooor baby. LOL

MARINE MAMAS AND MARINE VETS FOR OBAMA 2012!!

[yourM0th3r]

@Bertminator its barack hussein obama.... and "mohammed" is not something you should be making fun of obviously youre not muslim, you dont see me being ignorant about christians and calling someone "jesus" like its an insult.

[OIFSpecOps]

Obama the fucking nig nog is a worthless piece of shit. Let's go on another vacation

[lilsolis]

@mizzdestine2u Awesome reply. It's sad that people let the stupidest little thing like a middle name scare them. While I don't quite understand why people in Osaka celebrated, it does suggest that there are large groups of people all over the world embracing diversity and change. It's people like Bertminator that remind us that change is a slow process.

[cj62392]

I hope they're proud of themselves

[mizzdestine2u]

@Bertminator

name's don't mean a thing i'm an american girl who was named after an African Warrior, doesn't mean i'm going to go join a tribe and live without electricity and indoor plumbing

[weirdguy75]

Despite that Barack has had trouble getting things in order he won't turn us into a fuckin goddamn broke church country like palin wanted us to be fuck republicans!!!!

[WatchThatNoScope]

this was my reaction when he came pres.... (X.X)

[MrDurcon]

Ya its worked out great I hear. Real commander and chief president ding dong.

[nembutals]

CNN has international bureaus and is aired in a bunch of different markets around the world, NBC & ABC & Fox don't.

[Revolationsz]

Notice how in all these world reaction videos, everyone is watching CNN. :d

[StraightOuttaDC]

Exactly.

In every video, there's a split second between seeing the "Breaking News" header, Obama announced as winner, and the cheers. It was THAT unbelievable, even though in retrospect, it was painfully obvious that he would win.

[Njc0las]

LOL you think "a lot" is 1 word. hahaha
