McCain's lost battle 12:55pm on 05 Nov 2008 Why do I keep hearing people call Obama a communist? Jimoyer, why do you say that?

Please look up the definition of communism and you will see that it has little or nothing to do with Obama's policies and beliefs.

P.S. Please also me know how many countries in Europe are communist.
McCain's lost battle 11:46am on 05 Nov 2008 I may have little or no respect for Palin, but it seems to me that bringing her on board helped to rouse undecided voters into action, thereby helping to ensure unprecedented public involvement and interest. She had her uses!
McCain's lost battle 11:00am on 05 Nov 2008 I agree with you moneygran1. This shows that race and skin colour is clearly still an issue, if it is being focused on like this.

Does the colour of his skin really matter?

I've been listening to the radio all morning and repeatedly heard people saying that only white people can say this kind of thing, that white people don't get the racism faced by black people and therefore don't get how momentous this is.

Such a shame that an intelligent, crowd-rousing leader is reduced down to the colour of his skin.
McCain's lost battle 10:07am on 05 Nov 2008 McCain's speech was moving in a way I never expected. I have renewed respect for the man, though I do still think the best man won.

I think we need to learn from this election over here in the UK. Change is possible... we need to find ways of engaging all of those who have become disillusioned with the government and our political processes. We live in an amazing country with amazing potential. We can and should tap into that. The status quo can change here too.
Exile on Main Street 12:11pm on 30 Sep 2008 U5656350 - I applaud your attitude and will try to remember this for the future.

We can all become negative, curse the "fat cats" for not really losing out, despite ultimately being at least partly responsible for the financial situation of the institutions they work for, or we can take a more positive, proactive approach. We as citizens of our respective countries need to take responsibility for our own situations, become more financially aware and at the same time probably become more politically aware. I wonder how many people actually really understand what the bail out would mean and, more to the point, what would happen if it did not occur.
