Barack Obama Wins US Presidency
Last night, around 11pm, all the major networks announced that Senator Barack Obama had won the election. Soon after, Senator McCain conceded. There were no crazy partisan court hearings, just a simple election. This is your chance to talk about it and what it means for the future of our nation.

Let's give the guy some room to see what a Democratic president with Democratic congress can do for four years.
I can think of very few things that frighten me more.
As bad as it can get? Really? Have you looked at some other countries around the world? If you think this is as bad as it can get, you're not paying attention to countries like Zimbabwe or Myanmar.
Fact is, things can be A LOT more screwed up. Our hope should be at the very least that Obama doesn't make things any worse.

Two flaws with your logic, actually. In the case of Kings, "The second/third/etc..." refers to the reigns, not the names. He is the 2nd George Bush to be president, so Hognoxious has that right.
The other is that name suffixes (Junior/II/III) are only correctly used if grandfather/father/son etc.. have the EXACT same name, so George H. W. Bush was not "George Bush Junior" and W was not "George Bush III"
You forgot Poland.
I had a conversation with a midget once. He told me that to him, everyone looks like a giant.
