Barack Obama Wins US Presidency

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the enough-of-that-now-this dept.

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.

    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"
