I personally am as happy as the rest of Europe, according to a poll by BBC World. I know that Germany is happy at least.

I also think the US has made a decision that has moved them forward a lot even in the past 24 hours.

You will see there will be 4 good years for all of the north american people.

Cheer up!

Thank you! Im glad Im not the only one. I usually don't get mad about this kind of stuff, but I feel that now that Im almost an adult I feel its going to effect my generation and generations to come.

I totally get where you're coming from, Nicole. I have to admit though, I'm relieved Obama won, mainly because I hated Romney & Co's attitude towards women in particular, as illustrated by some unfortunate comments they made. I also think that Obama will move the country in a good direction politically. Financially, well, I feel the US is in bad shape (like most of the world these days) and four years is not going to make a big difference...

I agree with Sophienoelle and Karen although I understnd Nicole too in the fact that I loathe the UK prime minister.

nicole · 08 Nov 2012, 21:32

I get that a lot of people wanted Obama to win..Im a republican, so of course I wanted Romney to win. There were things I didn't agree with Romney, but I feel that Obama didn't make much of a process in his 4 years. As mentioned before, I don't want to offend anyone.

Hey Nicole, I don't feel you're offending anyone. Everyone has their own way of thinking and seeing things, and therefore we are all entitled to express our own opinions. Personally, I think being able to discuss things with someone who thinks differently than you do can be very interesting. As an example, I have several friends who believe in UFOS and ETs. I don't, but I still find the subject really interesting because of all the possibilties it brings up! I don't try to change their mind, because I respect them and their beliefs, and they don't ttry to change mine, and we still get along!

nicole · 09 Nov 2012, 23:12

Thanks for understanding! And you are right, it is very interesting. The reason why I say that Im offending someone is because politics can be a very personal subject. That's cool that you have nice friends that can talk about anything and you all be cool about it

I believe that's how it should be!
