Now we can have a little more hope that this country can start to move in the right direction. I want to believe that Obama has the intelligence, the drive, and the ability to follow through on this promise. It won't be easy.

When has that happened in modern times?

Go ahead and disgrace your country like that.

For real, a real american understands that this country was founded with democracy in mind, and in a democratic nation we vote. This vote has shown that the nation wants Mr Obama to be president which he is.

As if anyone had any doubt? lol

Well, I'm personally excited. I hope he lives up to expectations...


...And isn't killed in the first year.

Yes, because raising taxes and spending more is clearly the best thing we can do. So intelligent.

Sure it can, it always can.

Although realistically it probably won't be as bad or as good as most people think. Black or white a politician only cares about people like you and me when the camera is on.

Because clearly the last 8 years we haven't spent much at all.

Unfortunately, we will have to deal with the Obama folks tomorrow. It's going to be rough seeing all those dissapointed faces in about two years when nothing changes.

Except higher taxes and higher prices on everything.

Don't forget government-run healthcare, I'm sure that'll go over real well.

At least the war will be over sooner.

But who will win?

Nope, so let's spend even more! That will solve everything.

Meh who will win if we stay over there another 10 years? How can you even determine that you've won anything when your goals are so vague? Maybe I should shut up as this might get a little too P&N for OT.

Our local news channel interviewed a guest who was suggesting that the chance of assassination will be very high for Obama.

ITs sad to see our country make such a bad decision.


1 Samuel 1:18 ' When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king
you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day.' 19 But the
people refused to listen to Samuel. 'No!' they said. 'We want a king over us. 20
Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out
before us and fight our battles.' 21 When Samuel heard all that the people
said, he repeated it before the LORD. 22 The LORD answered, 'Listen to them and
give them a king.'

1. I voted for McCain, but this is a democratic system so I'm not going to whine about losing. Even if Obama turns out to suck, we need him to be president now because clearly more than half the nation needs a reality check. Sometimes people need to get something they think they want even if it's not what they need.

2. That scripture is completely out of context and irrelevant here.

And he got the popular vote too! Somehow I thought the total vote would be higher for him though.

Hasn't got jack shit yet as far as I can say, because all precincts haven't reported. But alas, it's likely going to be the case it seems.

I just hope we don't have a new tune in 10-20 years: :music: Back in the US... back in the US... back in the USSA :music:


If this goes the way the projections predict: I'm fucking terrified for the next 4 years, next 1-2 years especially with the democrat majority in the Senate.

I am admittedly not much of a christian but your use of a bible verse like that is disgusting to me.
