I'm not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but Biden's last name is actually pronounced with a longer "i", like the word "eye".

It's nice to be American, and have the candidates trying to sell themselves to us. But at the same time, it's utterly unnerving to know that the moron down the street who can't even take care of his own children has the same vote as everyone else. Beauty of America.

McCain was doing well until he chose Palin. She's a nutter.

Good thing you'll BE HERE on election day! We can have a party while we watch television. Eat popcorn.

Also, I think I am going to call you One-Eyed-Jazza after this video. You look like a pirate. :P

[rhymingwithoranges]

A sexy pirate?

I meant 'unapolagetically,' not 'irrevocably'

[Ihopyourpancakes]

Oxford and Cambridge toffs?

We yanks could use a few of them... Too many if our politicians are dreadfully ignorant and irrevocably stupid.

Barack Obama is NOT great. I am American and he is a stupid man. He used Oprah to win....hasn't done shit for us. Yeah were is your fucking change stupid liberals. You put an idiot in office.

Australian politics is very much the same as British in the way it is incredibly boring. But I think thats better than manipulating a herd of idiotic teenagers (I am one, but really, we're a dull, stupid lot) by hanging out with Beyonce. It is impossible for the right person to win if all it is about is entertainment and appearance.

Just dealing with Obama the man is half white and was raised mainly by his white side of the family. As for acting and talking black that is a racial myth that is perpetuated by people who in general have little contact with people outside of their own race. Many people of various backrounds do not share a distinctive sounding dailect as others in their identified racial group. The one drop rule is insulting! It's too easy to tag a person as black and leave out all that defines him.

[drexelur1]

True, from a genetic standpoint. BUt that is not how American society works. We view as "white" a person of only European heritage. Traditionally, a person who is part black is filtered back into the black community. They learn to talk, walk, and act like a black person. Hence, the "one drop" rule. The only way out of this is to have enough white ancestry that you can deny you have any black in you. That is just the way American society is and you can't change that.

[drexelur1]

Yeah, we in America sure have "dynamism" in our political situation. Or you could call it "political instability." We also had a major civil war 140 years ago, that almost erupted again in the 1960's. We are just a larger, more heterogenous society than Great Britain, that's all.

[Igenerally]

If it doens't apply to all racial mixes then a person who is part or half black should not be labeled as just black. it's a slave label done as a put down both whites and blacks need to stop slave tagging of labeling a person who is part or half black as just a black person. it's not done with other racial blendings. Barak is a man who is both black and white. Nothing wrong with recognizing both ethnicities.

[drexelur1]

Haven't you heard of the "one drop" rule?
