POLITICS: The Facebook reaction to the election

I was happy to hear that Obama won presidency tonight, yet I can't say the same about everyone. One aspect that our media class has focused on is the new technological advancement in media, so I'd like to share with you a collection of Facebook statuses I saw throughout the night:

"Nick is polishing his sniper rifle..."

"Ally is quiting her job, president Obama will take care of me."

"Bobby is bend over america. the terrorists are behind us.. and their pants are down. McCain was the only protection."

"Krista is so disappointed in america's bad decision. atleast when obama's change doesnt come, we can say "i told you so". ireland here i come."

"Kyle is go learn what socialism means...then change your status."

"Katie is our country is about to be a shit show."

"Maya is saying look republicans on fb with ur ignorant statuses we dealt with Bush's ish for 8 years...& now it's OUR TIME..get over yourselves OBAMA 08.'"

"Joey is really happy everyone is giving me some entertainment through these status updates. Keep em comin!!"

"Trevor is moving to canada cuz the american dream is over. i dont get why people wanted change and therefor elected a bunch of bullshit."

"Kiley can't believe socialism is the new democracy."

"Alicia is like all things are possible. It's official..BARACK OBAMA '08."

"David is hello socialism."

"Matt is OBAMA won. Get over it. Quit ripping on our new president. If you don't like it then you can get out."



It was a battle of words tonight when Obama was elected. I was entertained by the responses from the Facebook world, and I hope this entertained you. Incase you're wondering what my status read, here it is:

"Aaron is going to put up an election status too. Congrats Obama, go change the world!"
