Not trying to poke at you, but don't you think that if McCain was elected we would have seen the same thing? Every time a President is elected the news shows video clips of people celebrating. I wouldn't be surprised if the footage was prerecorded like they do with Sport Teams T-shirts for the Super Bowl, World Series, etc...

So your telling me the when Bush was voted in the news didn't show footage of people celebrating? I was in Iraq at the time so I wouldn't know, but I am pretty sure Fox, CNN, NBC, etc all showed footage of people celebrating. That is what you said by the way that the NEWS showed people celebrating around the world.
Yes I can agree that people of the world MAY see us differently now, but I highly doubt the NEWS ( which is what we are referencing) showed people of the world on election night calling us 'dumb rednecks' after the Bush mistake.

This is simply un true. When bush was elected president, ont only once, but twice, the world sat in fear and poked fun at all the "redneck americans" for voting someone so stupid in as president, not once but twice.
Now they are starting to realize americans have a voice, we arent all the stereotypical view of what an american is, and we showed that last night.

Im not saying that anyone is a redneck. But that is the view of what america is to a lot of people

It really bothers me. I come from working class poor, we are not all closed minded, or racist.
What is overly religious?
Let's see could you call a Muslim Fundamentalist a redneck?
Typical American, you must be joking?
