Post election and the political discussion forums are still red hot!
Prior to our most recent and historic Presidential election, the political discussion forums were jammed with people, voicing their opinions in sometimes quite vociferous and lively debates. Typically, after the election is over, the political discussion forums are sparsely populated. Not this time. Political junkies can smell big changes coming.
Perhaps this is due to the fact that Barack Obama is, almost across the board, diametrically opposed to everything President Bush has promoted and enacted. In normal Presidential elections, once the vote is in, there’s this lag period, where the President-elect sort of disappears from the radar until his inauguration. This is not the case this time around. While President Bush seems to be avoiding the limelight, Obama is being a very public guy, announcing Cabinet appointees, voicing his opinions on what needs to be done next and openly stating that he will be closing Guantanamo Bay pronto, bringing those prisoners to trial in the U.S. The media is courting Michelle Obama, speculating on who the lucky dress designer will be chosen to make her inaugural gown.
If you’re interested in politics, the political discussion forums are the place to be. There is no shortage of entertaining material with which to work and more opinionated commentaries than you can shake a stick at, virtually, of course.
For example, Obama’s selection of Hilary Clinton to serve as Secretary of State is huge. Many people feel that, as with Madeleine Albright, Hilary will be able to fill these shoes admirably, significantly improving foreign relations and world opinion of America. Governor Richardson is also being lauded as Secretary of Commerce. The choice of General Shinseki to head Veterans Affairs is somewhat ironic, as it was General Shinseki who lost his job due to advising President Bush that several hundred thousand more troops would be needed in Iraq. Just these few, select people are enough to fuel any political discussion forum for weeks, if not months, to come.
Upon entering any political discussion forum, you’ll find dozens of categories, so just pick your favorite rant. For example, Obama’s plan to engage in discussion with nations deemed by President Bush to be ‘rogue’ nations has got people gasping left and right (pun intended)! To paraphrase Obama, ?How can you improve relations and come up with solutions if you won’t talk to them??
As to environmental issues, green is the word and has sparked a lot of intelligent discussions in the political discussion forums. When gas prices skyrocketed earlier this year, people who normally didn’t think much about the green alternatives, finally had enough. These threads should prove informative.
Two wars, auto makers claiming imminent collapse, the economy, jobs, foreclosures and banking practices round out the meaty topics available for you to have your say, in the political discussion forums. Go get ‘em!
