What other qualities did Obama have, apart from a Black father, all i can remember is Gitmo was getting shut and "change change change"

How is that a quality?

I didn't vote for him, but vs. McCain and Hillary it was pretty much a no-brainer for the USA, unless someone really wanted to vote for a 3rd party. If the republicans had put up a candidate who didn't pick Palin as a running mate, they might have had a shot lol

Anyway, I think people voted him mostly because he seemed the most down-to-earth and "with it"; e.g., how connected he was tech-wise, compared to McCain who was apparently still living in the 19th century. :P People wanted someone who they thought understood how the world works. Remember, this was right after Bush Junior.


It's not a quality it was mentioned everyday though, like it was important. I was joking.

I didn't envy your choice over there.
