Knut,
Well, I never really wanted McCain in office either. The man's temper alone gave me massive pause and skepticism of his caliber as a President but his policies and ideas are only marginally better than those of Barack Obama. Some infact I'd say were worse.
That being said, when Obama's positions and ideas are combined with a Democrat controlled congress, I feel the threats to the general "American way of life" in regards to our civil liberties, free markets, and even the Constitution are great enough for me to not support him.
Granted, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and the Congress under thier watch also did great harm to the things I mentioned.
My opinion is all that could have been done in the election was to make the best of a bad situation. I do not feel that this has happened.
Don't get me wrong, the historic significance of this election is massive. The first African-American, non-white, non-English/Irish/Germanic descendant President of the United States of America is a great thing. Hopefully a big step towards putting the idiocy of racism behind us.
I just do no feel that this occured for all the "right" reasons.
