If you think Australia has got the Obamarama bad then you should visit the US itself.

I live in Nevada, which was possibly to be the deciding electoral for the election (which is was not) During the last week or two before election day, I'd come home to an average of three Obama/Biden flyers on my front gate, the windshield of my parked SUV, front of my garage, the entrance door to my garage and the front door to my house. This occured daily! Even my union's international journal last month had a huge article on Obama and Biden with a companion CD ROM. My E-Mail had an average of five pro obama messages per day for the past month, supposidly from Barrack, Michelle and Joe themselves. All that coupled with the insescant polititical adds hammered into our skulls from local and national televison, needless to say, I'm happy the campaign is over.
To me, Obama/Biden was the only presidential choice at election day and it took me 10 minutes to cast my ballot including drive time to and from the polling station. Many of us are hopeful and excited. I'm also happy with the numbers from the election results. The landslide victory for Barrack means we will not have weeks/months of law suits and recounts from the GOP.

This sounds so weird to me. We recently had our council elections, and only one party sent me any post. Pretty much the same for our parliament elections last year. Sure, there are some peopel in the streets handing out flyers and posters on buses and stuff, but very little seems to be sent home around here. That kind of constant barrage would have driven me nuts.
Still, I guess it payed off for you guys. Or at least it seems that way, but I suppose we won't know in a while eh?

Well, hopefully, Barack Obama will keep us in America from tumbling into disaster (you know, like the Romans did when they collapsed). Who knows? Maybe McCain would have driven us into Anarchy! (Feudalism all over again...)
You know, on that note, doesn't America seem so be REALLY similar to ancient Rome? Like look at the similarities:
1. It's good to be American, it was good to be Roman
2. Inflation, just like the Romans
3. Huge military vs huge military
4. Both are/were military-based
5. America is hated by most of the world, just like Rome was
6. America has corrupt leaders, so did Rome
ONE MAJOR DIFFERENCE: Rome didn't start facing this sort of trouble for several hundred years, but America has only been around for 230 years and is already facing this trouble!
ANOTHER MAJOR DIFFERENCE: Rome didn't kill the environment like we do
AND ANOTHER: Rome wasn't as wasteful as we are!!!
It's kind of sad, isn't it?
