SARA MOTH: I voted for McCain because he's white and he's experienced. Then I realized I'm just a racist. So I've come to accept Obama as the first black President. In fact, I had tears in my eyes when it was announced that Obama had won. It gave me hope for all people of all races. Then I started reading the Bible and it suddenly occurred to me that it never says Jesus was white and all this time I thought Jesus was white. Maybe, Jesus was black and this is actually the second coming. I wonder. |

SKULL MADISON: This was not so much America voting for the first black President as it was
the floundering of McCain. The guy had the election in his pocket until the debates when he just came across like Obama's buddy by agreeing with half of what he was saying, always calling him Barack. McCain fell for the "Joe the Plumber" trick that just became a commercial for Obama every night for weeks. This is not a reflection on Bush, who is still the best President we've ever had. McCain just didn't know how to run a damn campaign or at least steal an election. His pick for Sarah Palin set the whole campaign up to be a joke on Saturday Night Live. That's what did it. Don't worry, we'll be back in four years with a far right fascist, instead of some fall guy who kisses ass to the Democrats. |

GORE SUPPORTER: It was Al Gore once again who saved the Democratic Party by campaigning
for Obama in the final days in Florida. Remember that Gore actually won Florida in 2000 but did not pursue a full statewide
recount. Not all the votes were counted. But past is past and now Gore has helped Obama become President. This is an exciting
moment in American history, but let us not forget that Gore has been the key to the biggest events in our recent history including: the
invention of the internet, the discovery of global warming and now the election of Barack Obama. |

WOMEN'S RIGHTS ACTIVIST: I had no love for Sarah Palin, she was just the latest media bimbo that doesn't represent the liberated women of this country. I supported Hillary, and the only reason I threw my support to Obama was based on Hillary's endorsement. I am very happy with the outcome and I would hope that Michelle Obama takes a leading role in government the way Hillary did when she was first lady. If she follows my advice then we're likely to see eight years of Barack then eight years of Michelle. From there on out it's likely to be all women Presidents. |

LEFT GUARD LARRY: This was the first real election that I got off on. Man, I knew from the beginning that if we got a young black dude on TV running for President instead of Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, we'd finally get somewhere. Man, it was the young people that changed this election. Who do you think they listen to? It's all about hip hop.
The secret dope beats was in the lyrics of every hip hop song the past year and that's how we took the power, and we ain't never
givin' it back. From now on it's just gonna be black Presidents, so white folks better get used to it already. |

REAGAN DEMOCRAT: I voted for Barack because he was more sensible on the issues. McCain just seemed like an Obama-basher who didn't have any plans to save the economy. I almost voted for McCain, because you know, I figured why not just keep it white? Then when Colin Powell endorsed Barack that's when I said, well Colin's kind of like a white black guy, so maybe Barack isn't that bad after all. I'm interested to see how many Republicans he appoints to his cabinet. |

MOVIE BUFF: The Bush thing was like a horror movie and it seemed like America was
like a movie that was about to have a really bad ending. I saw the movie "W" and it made me depressed, mostly because I wasted my last few dollars on a really bad movie. So I think America wanted someone more charismatic who seemed connected to television and movie stars.
I think it was Oprah and Chris Rock who helped Obama get elected. Perhaps the next movie about America will be more inspiring
for the world. Anything that helps us overcome our image as biggest assholes on the planet would be refreshing. |
