I am glad to see people in Bangkok getting involved in American politics. The world needs to keep an eye on America!

I just hate that too, SB, when people twist your words for their own use without contributing anything! But now I see what fun I’ve been missing out on, and have migrated over to the offending party and feel more purposefully driven after I learned of a poster who claimed there was no such word as “gullible” in the dictionary!

So … somehow Peter Hall, you manage to turn my post around which was a response to your post into me using the race card? Excuse you indeed …

And another thing … you want to fight about Bush? Well honey, you ain’t gonna get that fight from me! I am neither a Rupublican nor a Democrat and I think both parties stink. I did not vote for my first choice for president, but I sure as heck wasn’t going to vote for someone who will try to put their hand in pocket as a small business owner every chance he can.

Maybe I don’t trust these exit polls. America’s ethnic groups according to the CIA’s Fact Book (July 2007 estimate)::

- White 79.96%
- Black 12.85%
- Asian 4.43%
- + Amerindians, Alaska natives, native Hawaiians, other Pacific islanders & two or more races

America’d gone McCain with 43% support of 4/5 of the population.

But it was more a vote against Bush than for Obama. Maybe.

Well … I wish that the Obama Beatitude starts to cool off a little bit.

It’s becoming embarrassing … You should see the circus in Europe …

Anyway. Bravo for this lively reportage in BKK.

Something bothers me. Exit polls CNN:

% of votes for Obama:

White people: 43%

Black people: 95%

I don’t know what you think, but something looks seriously wrong there …
