You know what makes me irritated? All the people out there saying they are going to leave the United States now that Barack Obama is president.

Seriously? Then gtfo, now.

Absolutely! Because of course nobody said they'd leave the country if McCain was elected.

"If she wins, I'm done. I can't do that for four years. And by 'I'm done,' I mean I'm leaving Earth." -- Tina Fey

"If McCain is elected and America staggers on further towards the abyss, then we will leave the country. That is not a problem for us.” --Seal

Others who have threatened: Michael Stipe, Stephen Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, Oliver Stone.

What great Patriots!

I wonder how they'll feel about having their wealth "redistributed?"

Yes they are, they'd do us a great service by leaving.

You do realize of course that Stephen Baldwin is a 'born again?' conservative and intended to leave the country if Obama won? Did you include him to show both sides of the issue or because you were being stupid?

BTW, I think Tina Fey was complaining about being stuck in a single role and was not making a political statement. I'm pretty sure that 'leaving Earth' is not meant literally, or did you think she was building a spaceship in her backyard?

They're trying. They're just stuck in line behind all the fucking idiots who screamed the same thing after the last election went the other way.

I've been travelling so haven't read all the posts but here's my take.

Campaign is over. Election is over. I don't care if he's black, white, or purple. I don't care if he's democrat or republican. I don't care if he speaks well or stutters. I don't care if he is stoic or makes funny faces. I don't care if he is a single minded leader or a collegiate brain trust proponent. I care about the ideas he puts forth for my nation. I care about the direction he gives our military. I care about the new expenses he suggests and those he wants to eliminate. I care about how much government involvement he feels is good for my everyday life.

Congratulations on the win. You broke some barriers and made a lot of promises to do it. Now fulfill your promises.

I want to move to a tropical location as soon as we can possibly afford it... for the weather and to get away from the rat race in general, not to avoid Obama's presidency, or McCain's either, had it gone that way.
Panama is topping the list right now...

I'm leaving the US now that Barack has been elected president.

I'm going to Mexico.


But not until Thanksgiving.

And again at Xmas.

I'm glad that Obama has won the election. I voted for him. But it makes me a little nervous having one party with majority in the Senate and House of Representatives and the presidency.
