Comments on Xinhua calls it for Obama
congrats to this gentleman, he got a lot of work ahead, I just hope he will drop the unilateral foreign policy that intoxicated bush.
I admit... Even with the Dark Force we were overwhelmed by Obama's greatness. His speech totally defeated the Sith Lords...This is bad for us.
If they're so good at calling elections they should try them at home
