I wanna thank the people of the world for your support of our new president. Its been a long time sense countries around the world have thought good about us. And we are just as proud of OBAMA as you are. Thank you!

I did not mean to thumbs up you--meant to give you thumbs down.

@Eagle0watch Or you're retarded...Obama's the antichrist

just like Christians, Jews Taoists etc. Oh wait were you trying to make a point? If so I don't get it. If you hate Muslims then you should be in jail for violating the 1st amendment.

I'M SO THANKFUL THAT BARACK IS OUR NEW PRESIDENT. I just got my learner's permit today, and I HAD TO SIGN UP FOR DRAFT! Thank God we now have a president that will try to make peace... if McCain was elected, I probably would've been shipped off to Iran before I could even drive on my own...

Another reason to vote for him.

I agree. Morepver, there's no way to be the respresentitives of *either major party and not have AIPAC support. Is it really a coincidence that the other big(er) parties, the Constitution, Libertarian, etc. got virtually no air time? They know the unqualified support of Israel kills Americans.

In order to be President, you HAVE to support Israel with NO reservations as to their behavior. I don't know why anyone would give you a thumbs, down but for igorence.

Sadly true...
