Wow!

As Mr. Obama himself said earlier this evening: “It's been a long time coming, but change has come to America.”

You can't increase an economical position with a money system with debt + interest built in. It simply is not possible. White or black, he's a member of the CFR and his interests are definitely not ours. It's a sad day for all of us. The next four years are going to blow your mind, I guarantee it.

Is he going to give us our rights back by eliminating the the Patriot Act? Is he going to take off the 1,000,000+ American citizens on the terrorist list? Will he eliminate the FED income tax scam that has plagued and dismantled our country since 1913? Of course not. He works for David Rockefeller's numerous councils. We all work for him (D.R.) and his partners as slaves.

Except slaves were provided room and board when we have to pay for that too.
“Why house and feed slaves when you can own them through wages?”

It's also sad that nobody can sense political propaganda if it killed your military brother.

Congratulations USA. You've finally grown up. I'm just wondering whether he'll go the same way as Lincoln and Kennedy. Hopefully Barack will survive long enough to bring on the change that you guys need. Good luck to all my yank (American) mates.

But!

It is good that we now have a black president…however, to say that all the other presidents had *exactly the same skin tone* is in my opinion actually racist against white people.

Basically, I'd like this poster *so much better* if the white presidents had their actual skin colors as opposed to an arbitrary one chosen to look “white”.
I mean, that way, the poster really says what it's supposed to say a WHOLE lot better.

NO Nick, it doesn't. Having just one color and then Obama makes the poster say what it is supposed to a WHOLE lot better. Because it shows more change this way.

Grover Cleveland wasn't two people, damn it! Why do they insist on counting him twice but consecutively reelected Presidents once?
