Some do.

I don't see very many here in Texas.

It's the third time I'm posting in this thread saying that you don't have to worry. If someone still prefers to worry then it's worthless to try with a 4th post. So I won't even try. :)

Who's worrying? We're just having a discussion at this point ;)

All Obama proves is that the people who will never vote for a black person don't outnumber those who will always vote for a black person. Hopefully everyone in between is no more or less stupid than when they voted for Bush, and judged him for his policies rather than his impact on America's "worldview".

And we all know what happens when an Austrian gains power in a foreign country.

While I agree that hings are SLOWLY changing, it still too little.
America might be modern in terms of technology etc, but not in mindset. 'Modern Americans' are still a minority in America. [Look at the vest hinterland to see that instead of looking at the coasts]

Yes certainly this is all it means to you.

No need to get defensive. I think bashing Americans is a stupid way of trying to feel superior, and I think it's equally stupid to think Obama somehow proves the bashers wrong.

What does it mean to you?

Aren't we having fun now? :D

Just think of me as your comedian councilman, the Minister of Mirth. I may not be sjgadsby, but I'll do my best.

You're welcome.

That was an obvious joke, but I should know better than getting involved in political discussions. I'll stop now.
