Only nominally. Everybody knows he is yesterday's bad news, and nobody was listening to him anymore even before today.
OMGOMG!!! the republicans are going to take this to supreme court and try to kick Obama out because he is not American!!!
Congrats to Obama, I think his victory is well-deserved. Da ***** in da 'House! WAGWAN EVERYTIN' B IRIE! As for the Americans, they can throw a party and piss up while they wait for the bombs to fall slowly and horribly. The president elect is still owned by a string of corporate benefactors.
This is what will stop him from making any ridiculous move to continue in power (or any other such nonsense). Not so much the man speaking, but the hundreds of thousands of people cheering him on. Imagine all those people storming the castle, pitchforks and torches in hand. The peasants would revolt, and it would be off with his head! -monkey
I didn't mean to stay in power I meant something that screws the economey up so bad that it can never recover or something like declaring war against yet another country that type of thing. on a side note I saw someone in a pub the other day offering to take bets on how long to the next assassination attempt on Obama (there were 2 attempts or reported attempts during the election trial) which I thought was kind of sick but it does bear thinking about after all there are a lot of nutters (thats the technical term just ask Nexxo) in the world and most of them in the US have access to firearms.
Yea if we take guns away then the bad guys will not have any. Look we took; drugs, moonshine, prostitutes and other things away and as a result those things do not even exist. If we could just do the same thing for guns ...
Who'd have thought... a Black guy who can't dance. Nobody ever died from a prostitute or a jar of moonshine (unless we're talking about a really good prostitute or jar of moonshine). Under controlled conditions, drugs don't kill any more than alcohol --the big mistake was to criminalise it. But guns have one purpose only.
