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.

    You, sir, are delusional if you think China or the EU is even close in military or political power to the U.S. And the economies of both are just a fragile as that of the U.S.

    It had everything to do with all of those things. All of which were not allowed prior to banking de-regulation in the 80's.
