But what I...I definitely do care about US politics. But what I'm disturbed about is how Canadians let US politics so greatly overshadow our own. I'm also disturbed by the self-importance I hear from Americans about their place in the world - you would think they were electing a new king of the world. That is pure bullshit. Yes, there will be far reaching implications, but as long as this sort of elitism exists the US will be the target of scorn all over the world. (And yes, even of misplaced affection). <BR/><BR/>I was super impressed with McCain's concession speech, BTW. Very gracious. Sharon watched with me and her comment was, "100 times better than Bush eh?" So true. Almost anything will be better than Bush right now. But Obama has a tonne of work to do.One of Freedomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479227411431959461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13643646.post-14674169369987246012008-11-05T07:57:00.000-05:002008-11-05T07:57:00.000-05:00Well, the results are in.

My answer was always "No". Especially, when the Senators were playing (A really exciting game too...) I did turn the channel after the game and saw that Obama was leading. Of that I was pleased. It was an indication that out brothers and sisters to the south were letting go of their racism. But I agree, why do I care about US politics. I won't care about the US politics until my children are made to sing their national anthems and the 'O Canada' is removed. I care about my country and what is going on here.<BR/><BR/>Also, another point. There seems to be this air of either Pro-American or Anti-American, apparently you have to be one or the other. What about me...I'm "I don't care America" I'm not anti, I'm not pro...I just don't put any energy towards its....Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03287275151791437096noreply@blogger.com
