I am also quite concerned of the rift that will probably spread through this.
It is hard to understand why people do what they do but I pray this will be a good change and not a bad one.
Again we need to come together as a country to solve our problems and not stay divided...maybe if people out there did not express so much hatred then our world would be in better shape. Stop and think for just one second that comments such as yours is very Un-American!
Now they are saying he is the President of the US. I just want to yell at them!!!!
And McCain could still win even though he gave a concession?
I should have payed more attention in high school. :)
But as you can see, everyone thinks he is elected. I am just frustrated and scared that our nation is really not ready for this new age and direction. But, who am I to predict or do statistical analysis on the next problem or item that will come up. Don't be surprised that anything can happen. I just want REAGAN back!!! :-)
Thanks Kelly.
Got my fingers crossed.
But if G has to put up with obama for 4 years then you too Lee have to put up with his or anyones whining about Obama being elected as we have listened to the democratic party whine over Bush for 8 years. It is a tit for tat situation is it not?
Obama 08'. P.S. There is nothing about the Muslim faith that condones terrorism. That is like saying; if your a Christian, then you belong to the KKK. How ignorant is that. "Education will ensure our future." Peace.
Congrad to President-elect Obama.
Now, he have to fulfill his pledge of uniting the 2 parties.
We can not afford to have a bi-partisan anymore.
Why does Bush have such a low approval rating? Its because those of you who kept voting for him are now unhappy about the outcome :(. Vicky, I don't know if you voted for Bush or not, and sure you have a right to your opinion, but pointing the finger at American's for developing wisdom is regressive and will lead to nowhere.
He will never have a picture on a dollar bill but maby on the well fare stamp. god please see us through this act of stupidity
I would have to agree with almost everyone here. It's amazing how a man that probably couldn't get a top secret clearance through normal channels, will now be the president of our great nation. There are many issues surrounding Barack Obama's character and experience. He was able to eloquently speak to many Americans who were unable to see the truth. But instead surrounded themselves with grandeurs of delusion, racial attachments and a complete falsehood of hope. I think I am going to quit my 6 figure day job, so all those who supported Obama, can now support me. "Share the Weatlh"!!! God help us.
Stop squabbling, Even if you did not vote for Obama you can still help make a difference in our country by coming together as one country and not divided. Is that not what our country is about. He won by majority vote just not by electorial vote. That is what our country is all about. You sound like a bunch of small children that didn't get their way.
Grow up and help instead of hurting things worse and dividing this great country more.
My advice to any overly distraught folks this morning... You dont need to stop listening to the right wing radio shows etc... but how about not letting them brainwash you? Listen to both sides.
And Tracy.... You have not been ashamed of this country at all in the last 8 years??? NOW you are ashamed???!!!! Man, I was right down the middle on this election. It was a tough decision. But nothing has made me sadder through this whole process than the opinions I have read this morning. Talk about ashamed.
For you to go back to the race card shows your racism....How about he is just an American that the majority of Americans voted in.... Before we start throwing out what is definitely going to happen and showing so much anger...let's give him a chance. And I have a lot of friends in Europe, Bankers, investors and they ARE celebrating. Are we so egotistical to think that all the world stops what their doing to wait and watch what happens with us. They have a lot of their own problems.
Also I was down the middle most of the time as well....I own a small contracting company and I am quite financially stable....but the tax ideas he has are scary we will see how many breaks are available soon enough till then my employees are secure.
I did not vote for Obama,but I will support him and this country, my country, but will he listen?
Will he be any different than any other politician cooing in our ear?
We will see.
Why lay people off till you find out what happens and then make a wise and calculated decision on the basis on their work performance and not just because they exercised their right as an American, and if you are laying off people, Ron right now, you were in trouble before and this has nothing to do with Obama. Take credit where Credit is Due.
Thank you for your intelligent and educated comments Mark, yours were one of a very small few on this page.
I don't dis Christianity, but I am an agnostic, so no, I think we've prayed enough for the last 8 years, now it is time to take our destiny into our own hands. Read "Oh the places you'll go" by Dr. Seuss. To many of us have sat in the "waiting place" for 2 long.
Remember its not about you. Its about Us.USofA.
But, just because they get a little money from the government, does not mean they get a free ride. I wouldn't trade places with them for one second, because it is hard being poor. I know there are poor people who get government assistance, but you don't have to pay for them. It is the popular belief among conservatives that hard working Americans have to pay for free loaders, but if you would like to really know, we pay more for white collar crime than for welfare. Yes, there is statistical data to back that statement up. So its not always the poor uneducated peoples fault. You are educated! Then by all means, ignore those who tell you they never have to pay for such and such again. The whole concept of what they supposedly said is ludicrous anyway.
On health care, I have spoken to m.d.s and patients from Germany, Canada, France, and England. They wouldn't trade their health care system for ours in a million years. People don't die waiting in line. That is well known propaganda, and yet we still choose to fall for it. Doctors get bonuses for preventative health care. They make 6 figure salaries. Patients of any social class can walk into a clinic and get treated for free. It really does work! I promise.
Doctors here? Preventative medicine HAHAHA! What a joke. The drug companies do not make money if people prevent their ailments. Basically, Bekah, whether you think someone deserves the right to be treated for free is your opinion, but just remember, there are poor ignorant crooks and rich sly crooks, the only difference is the rich ones cost us more money and know damn well better. Once again "don't hate, educate". Peace
