Hey! Did you all hear? We're getting a new presidential puppy too! Whoohoo!

Aww, you guys rock.
You have actually just elected as president a black guy whose middle name is the name of a guy you just went to war against. That is pretty damn broadminded of you. Can you imagine Harry Adolf Truman getting far?

It is an easy game to play, to look at America and see what is wrong, but right now it is hard to look at America and miss what is right.

Big kiss to all y'all.

I think Mr. Obama is correct.

That was the best campaign in the history of US politics.
He and his team deserve it.

slang · 11-05-2008, 03:30 AM

Big congrats to Mr Obama.

It's a big win. No razors edge victory with endless court battles and recounts.

He's a very charismatic man and I'm sure that he'll do well to represent the US.

President O certainly has polar opposite views than I do on nearly every hot political issue but the decision has been made.

Change is surely coming our way. Change is good, right?

Now, where did I put my airline ticket?

bluecuracao · 11-05-2008, 03:42 AM

So, slang--do you consider yourself unpatriotic for wanting to leave?

slang · 11-05-2008, 04:37 AM

I've wanted to "visit for extended periods of time" for several years now. Even with an R in office, they're not conservative enough for me personally.

I know what's coming. Every waking moment issues that are completely opposite of my longfelt point of view will be not just out in the open but thrust into the faces of people like me that are not supporters.

It's not the goal of the opposition for us to accept them as equals, it's to punish us for what they consider injustices of the past. No thanks. There are productive things to keep me busy rather than being pissed off like many of the anti-bush people for the past 6 years.

Who knows? We may see a widespread support of a different sort of "community organizing" here in the future. In that case, my presence here may be more than expected.

Many people believe that there is a catastrophy in the near future whoever the pres is anyway. That seems pretty reasonable for me to imagine as we are trapped between lowering the Fed interest rates and tanking the dollar versus raising interest rates and tanking the economy. Either case seems like a party not worth attending.

Regardless of the current climate, I'll be for 2A, less taxes, more personal responsibility, less debt, less gov't.

Those values are trending downward at the moment. Life's a bitch.

Just be cautious of what you wish for.

bluecuracao · 11-05-2008, 05:28 AM

Slang, it sounds a lot like you want to live on a compound, if you don't already...and you really should be cautious of what you wish for.

Trilby · 11-05-2008, 05:21 AM

I feel all youse Republican's pain. I've had to live for eight years with a President I despised. I know how you feel.

That said, I have faith in Obama, I truly do and he's the first politician (besides Dana, I mean) to give me hope since 1964. He's a good, honorable man who will put an end to the USA's being an international laughingstock: no bushisms thus far.

and my sincerest condolences for youse making over 200,000/year. There must be many, many of you.

Trilby · 11-05-2008, 06:29 AM

Merc, sorry for your loss. I hope you can overcome your anger. It did me absolutely no good to be pissed off for these past 8 years.

Now:

YAY!

Not really a loss for me, I didn't vote for either one of them. The pain is about to start for many. I will be fine.

Trilby · 11-05-2008, 07:25 AM

glad to hear it, merc. You're a survivor.

Shawnee123 · 11-05-2008, 07:33 AM

Wow.

McCain's speech was very gracious. He showed the class and inner strength that had to come into play when he sacrificed so much for our country. Bravo on him.

Obama's speech...I didn't expect anything less, but was still in awe.

People who don't support Obama like to poke at the fact that people really came out for him, people who maybe never voted, people who had become so apathetic due to the status quo of many years...yet isn't that what our country needed? We needed to pull together, to care about something, to feel a fresh wind in our faces. You can say, tongue in cheek, that he is the Messiah. He is not quite that. He is a man, a good man, a smart man, and a visionary. Can it hurt us to have as our leader a man with charisma and, for want of a better phrase "people skills?"

I have faith in this guy. I am very happy today.

TheMercenary · 11-05-2008, 07:43 AM

I have faith in our country and a sense of relief the election is over. But I have always been a pessimist. So I will keep my microscope handy and watch for the payoffs. Obama has made a lot of promises that I do not believe he can deliver on and it is among those promises that got him elected.

Dubya said we'd be outta Iraq in like a year or something... maybe even a few months.
