Our country is fucked big time! And every single one of you who voted for Obama are assholes! I can't believe there are this many stupid fools in this country - but since there are we deserve every bad thing that is going to happen to us.

I'm severely depressed, disheartened, discouraged, and above all, extremely angry. I'm out of here for good. Now have to figure out how to survive the next four years. But I'm going to laugh my head off when this country goes to hell and Obama gives us another Jimmy Carter presidency.

But think of this - when Obama screws up this country, it will mean there will never be another black man considered for high office. And it will set race relations back decades.
This election will not bring the country together - it will be more divided than ever and it will be the white people who are royally pissed off. Good riddance to all of you idiot libs here.

we were fucked after we gave that piece of shit bush a second term.

when is obama calling his first world summit?
