You know it's funny, I was thinking the same thing.

YES WE CAN

R.I.P. POWA'S DAD'S FUTURE BILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS.

Well done, my friend. You have earned 100 LOL Points, you can cash them in for or PROFIT at your nearest 7/11.

YES WE CAN

YES WE DID

[Hendrich]

Let me be the first to say, Obama won. 

Screw it, failed. I checked, wasn't the first one.  Need to check things like that more often.

[KamikOzzy]

Fuck Yeah Seaking

[Lava Croft]

Let me be the first to say, Obama won. 

You failed, since you are not the first. At least not in this thread.

[your face]

well meh

[player1]

Let's just hope his administration is as stirring as his speech.

Don't forget what really runs the world. According to the Fed chairman, that would be any currency besides dollars. Only a fool would have his money in dollars. Oh, yeah, and take his advice on not buying anything imported, OK? That should be easy in 21st century Mexamericanadia. Don't believe me? Never heard of youtube, or just never use it to learn what your masters are up to? Ron Paul+fed chairman+youtube+search; kthxnbai

[KamikOzzy]

I'm glad Obama won, but damn, democrats took the senate and house too....I like it when congress is the opposite party of the chief.

[player1]

Swing of the pendulum.

They've got two years at most before the other side watches the game films and comes back strong, at halftime in the next game.

Meanwhile, Obama's economic adviser is former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker, so don't expect a major change in the Fed's philosophy, although maybe if they get a little less carried away with propping up the "investor class" while weakening the dollar, we may just avoid the deep recession of the 70s and end up with a bonus, like in the 90s. But without a fresh supply of oil, like the North Sea oil boom of the Nineties, we're still pretty screwed. We don't make anything here anymore. Every corporate entity with the rights of a citizen - but whose only moral (indeed, legally mandated) obligation is to maximize profits for a few, at the expense of the many - has been forced by current policy to manufacture elsewhere for the domestic market. It's a giant circle-jerk of diminishing returns. When the oil runs out, we will be well and truly fucked, unless and until Americans wake the fuck up and realize that policing the world (that is, pulling down the selfsame dictators we prop up and supply) and bickering over "moral" issues is going to leave us a bunch of "faithful" slaves in orange jumpsuits, watched over by the men in black, building temples of greed to the gods of the fictional corporate "person", while our masters live in fabulous wealth in man-made cities in exotic locales, laughing at our naivete and simple-mindedness. Follow the money.

[Lava Croft]

player1 sounds like me when I was 15 years old. Now let's just hope he grows up and stops caring about things outside of his control. Outside of anyone's control besides a select few, that is.

Live a true life, take care of your family and friends, and do not be bothered by anything else. The only purpose whining like this serves is showing people that you are just as much suspectible to bullshit as Joe the Plumber.

[player1]

Now get down from my soapbox!

[snb]

WHAT OBAMA DID NOT WIN YOU LIARS! Ralph Nader WON WOOT! i like to call him Darth Nader

[player1]

Just be glad third-party candidates can still run. In Oregon there is already a ballot initiative to limit candidacy to just the top two vote-getters from the party primaries, i.e. one Democrat and one Republican. Oh, yes, it was funded by out-of-state millionaires. We've even got a guy here who pretty much makes his living just getting ballot measures on the ballot, so rich people can do end runs around the laws, all while proposing seemingly-reasonable amendments to the state constitution. Follow the money.



@Lava: How utterly out of character: you, espousing capitulation to tyranny.

[Hendrich]

Thats it, I give up, I hope both of you kill each other with replies. 


Yay, Obama won, go phillies, yays!!!

*Now what, Hendrich?*

oh noez!

[techhead]

A downside to having congress and the president opposite parties is that either of them can blame the other for the nation's problems under the accusation that they prevented policies that would help the situation from passing.

Also, election is over, and any more arguments at this point can now be legitimately called useless and non-productive bickering.

[player1]

This has been: America Chooses its Next Presiding Executive!

Tune in again four years from yesterday for another peaceful transfer of power from one branch of the oligarchy to another.

Thanks for playing!

The Game of Kingship is played for entertainment purposes only. No actual power is ceded to the electorate, nor should any such power be thought to exist. Brought to you by the people who brought you the corporate media, an educational system nothing short of indoctrination and the Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace.
