President Barack Obama

[Eric is God]

America's economy in the shitter = Canada's economy in the shitter

We're a nation that relies on trading with your country. Our economy and sovereignty relies heavily on the fact that we have a strong relationship. This election I'd argue heavily influences whether my country can get back on track. I'd hate to admit it but Canadians don't really give a shit about Canadian elections, it's important to us but Canada internationally doesn't mean a thing. It's important to me that my neighbors, my allies, my friends, and my family live in a country that works for its people and the people of this world.

Now let me enjoy the fact that America just elected Obama.

Canada has one of the largest economies in the world and our sovereignty would be just fine with or without America as allies. Our economy is ~1/10th the size of America's, the same ratio applies to our population. Canada is weathering these tough times better than most and will continue to do so regardless of how successful the new president is.

If you want to see a country that is really screwed, take a look at Iceland. It's amazing what you can learn about a country's economic health by observing smart phone sales.

If America didn't exist we'd lose all our natural resources. We're already under threat to lose part of our northern land. The best thing Canada can do internationally and nationally is have a strong supportive American government. If Russia wants something from us and America wants nothing to do with us then we're fucked.

If we want to have an economy that relies solely on the American economy then at least we can hope for America to turn it's economic situation around. I'm all for developing our economy internationally, but yes, we are screwed if the Americans are screwed. We're in a mild recession. However, we have a stable housing market but politically and economically Canada is linked to America.

We might have an abundant amount of resources in this country but just because we say those are 'ours' doesn't make it so.

so obama didnt say anything about mccain? How about inaccurately pointing out that McCain was '4 more years of Bush?' McCain wasnt anything near him, but thats what Obama campaigned off of...and all the attacks on Palin. You're forgetting that a ridiculous % of stories about McCain/Palin were negative whereas considerably less were negative on Obama. Who was doing the smearing? Well, of course Obama could take the high road when the media did his dirty work for him. McCain didnt have that luxury

The point is is that the smears from the McCain campaign where INSANELY incorrect, "socialist" - seriously?, "terrorist".. "Muslim" "Arab". After JUST those 4 the best you can come up with from the other side is "4 more years of Bush".

Just today i had to debunk the fact that Obama was Muslim, and that he didnt salute the flag. Said by people i consider friends, the amount of ignorance the republican party's base has spread is astronomical.

Quite simply Obama ran a better and smarter campaign, and made much few mistakes so he won.

The policies of Obama and McCain were pretty similar they both went for the central ground...if you actually read into them and didnt just listen to the news etc :P

McCain shot himself in the foot by appointing Sarah Palin. He really needed a intellectal women, a Hilary Clinton like figure (not in policy shes a left-winger but he needed a smart women and not barbie on speed) to attract the voters and women in the center ground.

If Obama can run America like he ran his campaign the future looks bright. Hes a very smart guy, he understands the power of words as well as military might. He will be working more with the Republican senatars than you might think as the left wing of the democratic party will try to pressurise him to push though their bad ideas

Exciting times are ahead of us.
