Biden Is No Friend to File Sharing, Net Neutrality Protection or Online Privacy

First up, I'm not from america, I'm in europe, so I won't be voting (and he won't be my president)
But the way the outside world views the candidates is very clear
McCain: Old, more of the same, and because he is a republican, probably dumb and racist.
Obama: Democrat, therefore they automatically want him to win, Younger, like a new JFK, Black, showing that maybe America isn't that racist anymore.

Why do you think Berlin went so mad over obama after 8 years of that other idiot, Obama seems like jesus.

So can you see just how disappointing it is when Obama does stuff like this.

Also re the changes, the US already invests billions in science, and the sex issue, isn't that already the defacto state?

In 1997 Tony Blair seemed like a great change....

Also i hadn't had any coffee earlier so maybe my reaction was little ott :-)

You didn't make any points at all. Just because you say Obama isn't living up to his slogan doesn't mean that it's true. And if anything, his race and age are more of a harm to his candidacy then anything because we live in a society that is still very racist and one that has this belief that youth breeds ignorance and age breeds wisdom.

During the Vietnam war there wasn't a single person willing to run for President on an anti-war platform. Obama is willing during this war. Thats change.

In a society that is very anti-intellectual, Obama wants invest billions into the advancement of Science and Math and Technology. Thats change.

During this so called "War on Drugs" Obama is willing to come out and say he would legalize medical marijuana and even explore the possibility of investing in hemp production for fuel and fabric. Thats change.

Obama is a pro-choice candidate that wants to explore ways to limit abortion through sex ed and investing in birth control technologies. Thats change.

I could fill this thread with a list of reasons why Obama = Change but it sounds more that you are unhappy with the 2 party state. That you are dissapointed that Obama turned out to be a Democrat. Well, Obama is a Democrat so he isn't going to lean away from his parties platform too much. So if thats your biggest gripe then vote Libertarian or Green or Socialist or don't vote at all. Either way, after November it will either be President Obama or President McCain and I personally feel the Obama/Biden ticket is the dream ticket that I have been waiting for.

The only reasons i have seen that you should vote for obama are that he is Black, Younger and his slogan "Change you can believe in".

(Hillary's main reason was because she is female and Mccain because he a "war hero", these are also rubbish reasons)

And i hoped he would be different, he would be a change but he is not. He is just another politician.

The absolutely only change with obama that i have seem so far is his skin colour and youth.
This isn't the move that someone who believes in change makes.
This is a move that shows the complete corruption of democracy the two party system is.

The whole "change" thing really is empty rhetoric.
I'd still have Obama over any Republican any day of the week, but that's hardly the biggest compliment in the world.

I'm not claiming anyone elses work as my own, that's ridiculous.

My point is Obama isn't this breath of fresh air a lot of people including myself hoped he would be.
