BARACK Obama swept to victory last night as millions of Americans lapped up all that bullshit about change.

The Illinois senator made history as the first black American to become President and the 44th man to win the office with a lot of vague platitudes and an army of creepy spin doctors.

He told a crowd of 250,000 supporters in his home city of Chicago: "Remember, change is something that happens in the middle of the night when we're all fast asleep and very often the next morning no-one can tell that anything has actually changed.

"I promised you change you can believe in, I did not promise you change you can actually see."

He added: "You believe in Jesus don't you? Right, but have you ever seen Jesus? Exactly. Just making sure we're all on the same page."

Mr Obama said he would bring about change by working closely with the vast and terrifying multi-national corporations that had funded his campaign and pledged to end the war in Iraq in order to create a much bigger war in Afghanistan.

"But instead of some middle-aged white guy doing it, it'll be me and I'm half-Kenyan. D'you see?"

Bill McKay, a college student from Denver, said: "I can't believe I now live in a country where an African American can be elected to the presidency after spending just $600 million on advertising."

He added: "Give me a hug!"

Meanwhile, in the UK, thousands of people talked about staying up all night to watch the drama unfold, but then didn't.

Martin Bishop, from Oxford, said: "I was going to follow the coverage and have the significance of every result explained to me by Lord Dimbleby but then, at the last minute, I decided to go to bed because I don't care."

Denys Hatton, from Guildford, added: "If your life is such that you're placing all your hopes in a politician, then may I humbly suggest you get yourself a crate of superlager and a cardboard box and stop wasting everyone's time."

I find that the Obama presidency has been a disappointment so far.

I arrived at a friend's house today with a craving for a juice-box but he had no juice-boxes.

I thought things were supposed to be better.

it's all about culture. things can change, if you give them an opportunity. One man is unlikely to change much, but people getting involved can shift the American paradigm.

The Regonite era is over.

At least he is a younger refreshing face , people got tired of the olf Bush look.

I just changed and now support Obama, it is catchy

[reno cool]

If I remember correctly, no one bitched about the poor living high off the hog until Gingrich, Limbaugh, and the Reps took over in '94. It would've been considered poor taste at the very least.
Now you had many people convinced that the poor were draining our resources. The culture turned. Yesterdays election might be a turn for the positive.

What his plans intend to do is lower everyones standard of living to that in which of the po' folks. What he intends to do with the rich will bury the economy in the long run.

African Americans in 2 years time will be calling him a liar and an uncle tom. A lot of minorities are under the impression that Obama is going to pay their mortgage and their bills. The real shocker will come when he lets the Bush tax cuts expire in 2010 and shuts the coal plants down with a super restrictive cap and trade system.

We'll see what they say when their electric bills are $600.00 a month and all they got was a crappy $1,000.00 tax credit.

This is going to be fun. Remember boys and girls, it's good to be liquid.....

Why would I believe a damn thing that those sorry excuses for jounalistic endeavors reports?

[Mudcat]

I'm sorry but Obama has had his chance and it hasn't worked out.

Time for another change.

you think the oval office will have lions head on the wall and ivory teeth carvings...maybe some tribal music when you walking in.
