Title: Re: If You Had a Time Machine Post by: Lincoln Republican on January 04, 2009, 12:27:13 AM The Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan in 1960, whoever that was.
It would drive him insane. Title: Re: If You Had a Time Machine Post by: Stranger in a strange land on January 04, 2009, 01:04:36 AM Jesse Helms, just to tell him that that Obama would win North Carolina. I'd also want to tell Orval Faubus and Theodore K. Bilbo.

"You, after traveling all the hell around the world, knocking up random women everywhere, have fathered the future President of the United States of America. So keep on going, your genes got magic in them, see if you can father any other cool people! Playing the numbers like you do, the odds are in your favor."

Title: Re: If You Had a Time Machine Post by: Brittain33 on January 04, 2009, 02:06:35 PM You know, I wonder what the reenactors at Plimoth Plantation and Colonial Williamsburg have been instructed to say. The Pilgrims wouldn't have any idea about the United States or a diverse society, but the Williamsburg residents surely would. I am sure kids will be asking.
Title: Re: If You Had a Time Machine Post by: Brittain33 on January 04, 2009, 02:08:53 PM LBJ. He said he was costing the Democrats the South for a generation... it turns out to have been two, but in the end, Obama won a few states.
Otherwise, Frederick Douglass. How about going back to 2005 and telling Hillary Clinton? Title: Re: If You Had a Time Machine Post by: Holmes on January 04, 2009, 02:13:03 PM I'd rather go back in time to prevent stuff in my life than tell random people about Obama. :P
Title: Re: If You Had a Time Machine Post by: humder on January 04, 2009, 02:14:30 PM The problem with going back in time is that it might change history! For example, somebody could try to stop Obama.
Title: Re: If You Had a Time Machine Post by: Countess Anya of the North Parish on January 04, 2009, 02:15:13 PM I'd rather go back in time to prevent stuff in my life than tell random people about Obama. :P if you went back in time what would you change?

Title: Re: If You Had a Time Machine Post by: 7,052,770 on January 04, 2009, 09:40:13 PM myself, to early 2004, so I could post it here and constantly guarantee that Obama is the next president for 4+ years.

Title: Re: If You Had a Time Machine Post by: Nixon in '80 on January 05, 2009, 04:12:10 AM John McCain... then come back and see if he would have run anyway.
Title: Re: If You Had a Time Machine Post by: Lunar on January 05, 2009, 04:21:17 AM I would warn McCain about the Palin disaster so that America would be saved from her rising stardom

Title: Re: If You Had a Time Machine Post by: CultureKing on January 05, 2009, 05:05:43 AM Cheney. Oh actually I already did that, he got so angry that he shot a friend in the face.
;) Truthfully it would probably be Johnson or MLK.

What they think about America having a black President. Title: Re: If You Had a Time Machine Post by: GOPFlyer10 on January 05, 2009, 10:36:58 AM Thank you for having the first positive reply. You people are so god damned pessimistic. It makes me sick. Title: Re: If You Had a Time Machine Post by: YRABNNRM on January 05, 2009, 03:34:08 PM No one because chances are that history would be altered and I would look like a fool.
Title: Re: If You Had a Time Machine Post by: Robespierre's Jaw on January 05, 2009, 05:12:05 PM Considering it would be the most amusing to tell both Jefferson Davis and P.W. Botha that an African-American would ever be elected President of the United States then of course, I would tell them, bearing in mind if I had a time machine.

Title: Re: If You Had a Time Machine Post by: emailking on January 08, 2009, 12:02:17 AM If I had a time machine, I would realize that if I go back in time and tell someone about the election, then that has already happened and they already found out about the election result from me. Knowing this, there wouldn't be any motivation to go back and tell them. So it wouldn't actually ever happen.

Title: Re: If You Had a Time Machine Post by: Smid on January 13, 2009, 05:48:56 AM myself, to early 2004, so I could post it here and constantly guarantee that Obama is the next president for 4+ years. This, and this: myself: in order to begin betting on it ASAP And start the betting either after Obama gives his speech at the 2004 Convention, or after he announces he's forming an exploratory committee, so as to receive the longest odds possible. |
