These photos really got to me, they are a perfect series of spontaineous shots taken on Election Night at the Park. They show in an incredibly powerful way what has been achieved.  They are starting to go viral on the Web.  Phenominal photos.

Cute kids.

It'd mean more to me if one were holding a McCain/Palin sign and thier father's reached out.

Looks staged to me; look at all the other folks standing around taking pics.

Yeah it does look very staged.

on Nov 10, 2008

Not to mention both the kids looking right into the camera - definitely staged Not to mention that those kids aren't old enough to know the significance of any of it

I didn't though.  I voted for Bob Barr, the Libritarian.  Go figure, huh.

It is really going to suck for all those people who didn't vote for Obama when their grandchildren ask about them this historic election that they read about in their history book years from now.

 

Like saying you voted for Hoover in '32, or or perhaps Douglas over Lincoln.

I would rather tell my grandgchildren I did what I thought was right.  And let's judge Obama's presidency in about 20 years when we have some perspective.

It's not even January yet.  Aren't you getting a little ahead of yourself?

ZubaZ, I appreciate the fact that you managed to tell peleprodigy he's an idiot (if you'll allow me to interpret your words into the ones I would have used) without bringing political views into it.

I just felt the need to comment that as someone on the other side of this coin (read: I voted for Obama) I agree with that characterization of his statement, and I agree with your post as well.

I feel in my gut that people wont be so happy with Obama in a few years. Is it great that an African American got elected? Yes. Do I think it was great that it was Obama? No.

 Oh and I also voted for Bob Barr for the same reason..I thought it was the right choice.

The pictures in this post remind me of the whole Obama campaign . . staged, heart-string pulling, marketing.  I think that one can sell cotton and fabric softener and presidents that way but I doubt a presidency can last.

I'm not a right-wing crazy.  I don't hate Obama as a man or a politician.  I just personally don't believe that he is the right man for the country.

 

You want to know  my real worry (and this may be the topic of another post). He's got four years.  If he doesn't totally tank it he'll have four more. Then what?  They guy is young and charsmatic and had been a political climber for a very long time.  What's next for Obama?

on Nov 10, 2008

I didn't and couldn't vote (not american) but it was very interesting to watch over the last few months and i am most interested in seeing how Obama's presidency will turn out.

 

GOOD LUCK

I really don't see anything particularly heart-warming about these photos either.  Nothing wrong with them, but I find neither kids with Obama signs, nor multi-racial friend groups to be either remarkable or unusual.
