Obama - First Black President

Watching the meltdown in stormfront is fucking awesome.

I was listening to Micheal Savage on the way home, and he said, "The biggest losers of the campaign are: McShame, Palin, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Bill O'Reilly"

I laughed hard.

It however makes me sad reading this thread that it took this to make people sentimental feelings about their country.

Hell, I get that way every time I hear the national anthem.
Maybe I'm just odd or something.

I do too. It brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear it, unless it's performed really badly. I still salute sometimes, too, though I don't want to be an attention whore, lol.

Jackson said the tears were as much about how proud of what had happened and how much had to be sacrificed to get here (he said he imagined how proud MLK would have been if he couldve seen this even for 1 second)

I feel that way about the National Anthem sometimes, but not always. It usually depends on who's singing it - and even then I'm in awe at their voice and their rendition more than the actual song.

I don't really get emotional with the national anthem. That "God Bless the USA" song gets me choked up every single time though. Had me balling at our return ceremony from Iraq.

EDIT: Found the right title.

This made me laugh.

I'm amazed how some things seems so much more expensive in USA compaired to here.
Kinda happy I live in Sweden (god damn socialst country!!!)
Live home with my dad now saving up money so using some of his numbers.

Car Payment = None, bought in cash. People need to stop getting loans to buy a car. I'd rather buy a car for 500 dollars (and save up for a better one) than getting a loan and ending up paying twice the amount for it.

Car and house insurance = 70 dollars/month

Internet/Phone/Cable = 40 dollars/month (24Mbit)

Gas = Maybe 200 dollars a month but we don't even drive that much. I have 1 mile to work and my dad doesn't work. Price about 1.6$ per litre so about 6.4 per gallon.

Health Insurance = 0 (free health care yay)

Cell = Before about 25 dollars a month but now when I have a girlfriend about 50$. Call free to people with same operator (most of my friends).

Union = 100$. This is the big one. Right wing doubled it 2 years ago when they came to power. I have to pay this in case I lose my job so I get money as unemployed. You get 80% of what you make.

I make about 3000$ in a good month (depends on what shifts I work). After tax 2000$ left. I can easily save 1000$ a month right now that I live with my dad. Trying to save up so I can buy an apartment in Stockholm. 1 room at 30ish squaremetres is about 70 000$-100 000$ 20 mins away from central Stockholm. In the central proably 3-4 times as expensive. If I buy one for 70 000$ I'll pay 10 000$ in cash and loan the rest. Rent + mortgage ends up at about 500$ a month.

I heard about this on the radio today actually. My first though was something like this

"Oh shit, an aircraft has to emergency land but where?!"
"Relax, we have the airport Transformers ready!"

Doubt WE will have much use of it since it sounds like something for the military. We're to neutral to use our army.

Off topic, oops :E

I'm another swede, here's my economy:

I'm a student working 2 part time jobs. I earn approx 1.900 $ each month. After taxes I have 1.300 $

*Rent, a rented apartment in a small town with 2 rooms: 650 $ (cost shared with gf)

*Study loan repayments: 125 $

*Bills: cell, electricity, internet, TV: 150$ (shared costs)

* Computer lease pay-offs: 150$

* Food: 250$

When necessities are paid for I have around 1-200$ left for luxuries, so there is no room for savings.
I don't own a car, nor could I really afford anything else above preowned Lada level.
Gas is 43 $/gallon of which 24$ is taxes (energy tax, CO2 tax and commerce tax)

Notice that even with my small income I still pay 33% income tax.
Although, it gives me free healthcare (a visit to the doctor costs 20-40$) and fees for my university level studies are 0$.

Poor stormfront. Not only is the president-to-be black, he just appointed someone of jewish heritage to the post of chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel.
