I hope they haven't been covering it there as long as it's gone on here. This stuff has been going on so long that it's ridiculous. I can't wait until this thing is over and there's finally a new president and Bush will be gone. I'm sure you all in the UK will like whoever is elected better than Bush.

Obama really has a good sense of humor. <BR/><BR/>Our history has much to do with our national pride - although I think it is stupid to say we're the best country when we are not. We should all just co-exist rather than one having to be better than another, really. <BR/><BR/>Next, let me introduce you to the other side of America that doesn't make it to your media systems. <A HREF="http://virgomonkey.wordpress.com/2008/08/13/americas-self-critical-nature-in-the-media-goes-unnoticed-all-too-often/" REL="nofollow">Please click me</A>. <BR/><BR/>Additionally, I can assure you that there are more people that hate American IN America compared to the rest of the world. Trust me. I've lived here for 40 years. <BR/><BR/>Also, GWD did <B>not</B> get elected twice. Only once. Have you ever learned about how the electoral system of voting works in America? The popular vote <B>doesn't</B> count! Al Gore genuinely won in 2000. And do keep in mind that 48% DID vote for Kerry back in 2004. Pretty close, but nonetheless, we protested, cried, and yelled much louder and with more passion than another another country. <BR/><BR/>That is so true. American elections ARE like a stage performance. It really troubles me. I am going to blog about that soon.<BR/><BR/>That's great you went to Miami. I was born and raised there. It's also nice to hear that you had a good time here. <BR/><BR/>You also have a very good sense of humor. :) <BR/><BR/>But don't get your hopes up about Obama winning. There are too many stupid Americans in love with Palin. :( Yes, THESE are the stupid Americans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
