Nov 4 2008Barack Obama is the President of the United States
Ladies and Gentleman, Barack H. Obama: The nation's first African-American president!
An historic moment that none of us will ever forget.
The Superficial will return to its regularly scheduled chicanery tomorrow. But goddamn what a night.
EDIT: Just hell fucking yeah! I'm sorry, but this is a day a lot of people never thought they'd see. I might be a guy who cracks jokes about his penis and loves breasts more than life itself, but what a monumental moment for America. Just incredible. You may now fire away at my political views because, shit, that's just another reason this country is awesome. Freedom of speech. G'night, guys!

America now has its first half-white president.
Maybe all the liberals will now shut it about how every hurricane and terrorist attack is the president's fault.

23. momo - November 4, 2008 11:13 PM
He's as black as he is white and since I can understand him when he speaks i would say he leans towards white more.
As soon as black people realize this will not change your everyday life we can all get back to business as usual.
If you were a S***head yesterday you will be one tomorrow.
Barack ain't funna bail you out da county.
24. IWONKY - November 4, 2008 11:14 PM
Thank you Fish, for your integrity.
25. Hollard - November 4, 2008 11:14 PM
Wow. What a horrible night for the United States. To the idiots that elected this socialist nut, congrats. In the next four years you are going to see what a huge mistake you just made. I know McCain was not the greatest person to put up on the ballot, but come on.... Obama is going to ruin the United States. Socialism is cool!!

So i guess a black pee wee herman look alike wins by fraud , this country is going down hill so fast and going to be so broke. I guess we are all going to be paying for it now . This country is lost on this after birth . Now the VP can tell more ethnic jokes more openly now.
28. John McCain - November 4, 2008 11:16 PM
Oh well...,
29. WOOOO - November 4, 2008 11:17 PM
HELLLLLLLL YES. O B A M A!
30. Depressed - November 4, 2008 11:18 PM
How sad. Now we have a socialist as president. We have lost the cold war. On the plus side it puts all the liberal media out of work, as they have nobody to complain about!
31. Rachel - November 4, 2008 11:18 PM
I'm crying.
What a historic night.
32. JT Lancer - November 4, 2008 11:19 PM
Throughout his campaign, Barack Obama painted John McCain’s policies as an extension of the failed Bush policies of the past eight years. Now that Mr. Obama has been elected, will we finally see change? Let’s see.
John McCain voted to give $750 billion in taxpayer funds to fat cats on Wall Street. So did Obama.
McCain believes the US should intervene militarily in Pakistan and Iran. So does Obama.
McCain voted to extend the Patriot Act, which gives the president the power to wiretap, read your emails, and throw anybody in jail as an enemy combatant. But Obama voted for it, too.
McCain’s spending and tax-cut proposals would add hundreds of billions to the federal deficit, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. So would Obama’s.
John McCain supports governmental limits on carbon emissions via a cap-and-trade system. So does Barack Obama.
This is “change we can believe in”?
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
33. adt - November 4, 2008 11:19 PM
Rock on, Barack Obama!
Obama has such a better potential than McCain. Too many fuckwits were voting for McCain not for what politically stood for but because of the fact that he was religious. Americans don't need a religious leader, it needs someone who knows what he's doing, and the world knows that for the past eight years we definitely didn't have a leader who knew what he was doing.
America supports Barack Obama!
34. darcie - November 4, 2008 11:19 PM

YEAAAAHHHHHHHH drinkin O-BOMBs tonight!!!

FIRST....
To tell all you stubborn ass republians to eat my ass. Thank Christ - Palin will not have a chance to ruin this country. Even as McCain is trying to respectfully concede right fuckin now his stupid ass crowd is booing and ruining his speech.
And yes, I'm republican. The party needs fixing. Get over yourselves and this is what you get for Bush. No free passes on this one, and with any luck this party will adjust and adapt to the 21st century. Otherwise they (we) simply don't deserve the white house or congress.
I'm not so stubborn and stupid as to not understand that.
41. Wend - November 4, 2008 11:23 PM
I cannot wait to see what people say in a year or so when things get really bad. Who are they going to blame? I know, let's try and blame old president Bush, yeah, that will work (not)!
I just want to say goodbye America! You were once a great nation, but you are going to hell in a hand basket.
Now get ready to be taxed heavily, especially if you actually work because Obama wants to spread the wealth AKA pay the losers on welfare!
42. Valentine - November 4, 2008 11:25 PM
Do you even KNOW what socialism is? I live in a long and narrow country which some US citizens like to call "their backyard" and trust me, WE KNOW what it's like to have a socialist regime.
I admire your country, but learn before complaining about Obama being a "socialist"... if he were, I'd love to have a "socialist" president like him instead of the REAL socialist president we currently have.

If the people that voted for Obama would have done their research he would not have won. BUT the" PEOMIAW of "CHANGE" was just to good to pass up. Obama voters will be sorry for your choice. I hope you enjoy your victory....it will be short lived.

52. iob - November 4, 2008 11:30 PM
Don't understand why everyone freaks out when they hear about sozialism. Lots of european countries have a bit more intervention by the government into business matters and it seems to be not that bad.

Well, we now officially vote for President based on the same criteria we use for Miss America: Skin color/and or/ minortiy group pandering.Great. No one...NO ONE, can name one prosperous country run by someone black. Not one. Ever. Let me tell all you fools "crying" over a shady chicago politician one thing: When a small man casts a large shadow, the sun is setting.
59. Obama Sucks - November 4, 2008 11:34 PM
Obama is not and will NEVER be my president! My president is me! I'm the president! Bow to me!
USA all the way!
God Bless America!
60. G - November 4, 2008 11:35 PM
Thank you George Bush for the worst 8 years of any president in history.
Thank you John McCain for bringing that nimrod on board to open people's eyes to just how much the GOP loathes Americans.
Thank you Hillary Clinton for representing women in politics so well.
Thank you Barrack Obama for not falling for the GOP attempts to goad you into childish mudslinging.
Thank you South for showing the country just how clueless y'all really are.
And lastly a big FUCK YOU to anyone dumb enough to fall for the GOP scare tactics that would have had us in Iraq for 100 years, our healthcare wiped out and government slithering behind the scenes buying up banks and homes until one day we woke up in Communism.
61. D-Rock - November 4, 2008 11:35 PM
Goodbye America? This country has been on a decline since Bush's era. Obama getting elected isn't the cause of it
62. m 2 d d - November 4, 2008 11:35 PM
wow you all are just a bunch of miserable bastards. Recognize we made history and elected some one who can actually do somehting for the country unlike the last 8 years which have been the biggest joke and embarrassment for our country. Go Obama!
63. m 2 d d - November 4, 2008 11:35 PM

Hey VN you fucking retard. The reason the crowd is booing is because he is turning it over to Obama (Hitler) you nitwit.
66. kk - November 4, 2008 11:36 PM
I hope all of you ignorant people who commented so eloquently of your disapproval of our new president, are soon ready to EAT IT! Even Jefferson stated that a country that allows one political party to run the nation for 20 years, needs to take a stand and make a change. JEFFERSON People! We need a change, it will take time. Rome wasn't built in a day! Grow up and take responsibility and stop being blinded to only seeing one side. If you think you can do better, then I invite you get on the ballot in 2012 and prove it. Until then, put up or shut up!
67. Sport - November 4, 2008 11:36 PM

Thanks for embarassing women all around the world and undoing Hilary Clinton's work for women in politics with every idiotic word that spewed out of your usless mouth. You will never be anything, but a JOKE.

Great day for the bottom feeders. Sad day for every productive member of society.
74. Hoorayboy - November 4, 2008 11:40 PM
no more blaming Bush you liberals. Of course Obama will probably ride an economic resurgence in a year or two and everyone will give him credit for it, just like they did Clinton.

To "g" My name is Justin Bennett, what's yours? I'll say right where I live motherfucker, will you? Thought not. I'm not ashamed of anything I write, while clearly you are. Since you're completely gutless. Talk about "keyboard warrior" and the world IS moving on without me, right into the toilet.
78. Amber - November 4, 2008 11:41 PM
I love the penis jokes (obviously), but love your politics too. P.S. Thanks for not being tacky about the Hudson drama. And EXTRA thanks for writing less about Spencer & Heidi (ugh)
79. Olivia - November 4, 2008 11:42 PM
Hey G, why are you calling the South clueless? Obama won quite a few of the southern votes. Why do people think all southerns are idiots, I guess because they are to stupid to see for themselves, just like Obama, they believe the crap he spews about change. Hell yea change is coming, I'm quitting my job so I can live off of welfare now since that is where all the tax money will be going.
80. TorontoMom - November 4, 2008 11:42 PM
oh my god, you're a moron.
I'm glad he won.

Yep, we're screwed. Our country was great while it lasted, so I'm going to start praying that some good will come out of this.
Now, it's time for all of the slackers to rule and the productive people of society can go hide in a hole!
84. me - November 4, 2008 11:44 PM

85. Noelle - November 4, 2008 11:44 PM
This is a great day! Screw the racist bigots... Obama is the winner and it's an amazing thing....
And for those bashing about the tax stuff... why should someone making 30k shouldn't have to be paying as high of taxes as say someone making 250k a year... you people are morons.
86. Ashley - November 4, 2008 11:44 PM
Why in the world would our country go to shit just because the president you didnt vote for won. I wish I could go back to 2000 when Bush was elected and read the comments of everyone celebrating about it and how many people really thought the country was going into the toliet back then (not saying there was no one against Bush from the beginning) . News flash people, are country is going down the toliet and Barrack Obama is someone I personally believe is going to turn this country around. McCain was going to take us down the same road we have been on for the last eight years. I did not want to go down that road any longer and obviously ALOT of people in this country agree with me!
87. GO GO OBAMA - November 4, 2008 11:45 PM
CONGRATULATIONS PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA.
McCain's speech was actually very gracious. It had to be the hardest speech he had to ever give.
Did you all see the energy of the crowd at Grant Park right now?? It's fucking HUGE!! What a party!!
Meanwhile, heard on NPR, the McCain celebration party @ Hilton in Irvine .... hmmmm ... *crickets*

93. Sharon - November 4, 2008 11:46 PM
Look what Bush has done. Fucked up everything but....everything. Obama has a lot of cleaning up what fucking Bush did. I knew 8 yrs ago the only bush i trusted was between my legs. Good riddens to the chimp-look-a-like and his fucking family.
94. Dr. Awesome - November 4, 2008 11:46 PM
You're all so goddamn stupid. Obama is going to rape this country.
You know what the "change" will be? Less money on your paychecks. That's it.
Fucking stupid Democrats. Learn how to read before you vote.
95. Dirk Diggler - November 4, 2008 11:48 PM
Tommorrow I'm going to fire 2 of my employees since Obama is gonna raise my taxes, I've got to pay for it somehow.

98. mafme - November 4, 2008 11:50 PM
Dr. Awesome, I'm sorry, but you're an idiot. Most people do not make enough money to be affected by higher taxes. I really doubt that you're actually a doctor.
99. KatiePie - November 4, 2008 11:51 PM
Wow.. for all you people that are still cmplaining about Obama winning. Give it a rest already. He won. He's the president!
NO matter what he does all you pessimists will still be bitching. Just shut up.
YAY Obama!
100. lithiumlilly - November 4, 2008 11:51 PM
C'mon, he can't be worse than Bush. Change is the only way to grow, guys. He's not going to be the end of this country. Americans are too tenacious and stubborn to let a president single handedly destroy our country. Give him a chance, and if things still suck in a few years, I'll join you in bashing his name lol
101. cureholder - November 4, 2008 11:52 PM
"True values of life" = voting for a black man to make yourself feel better, without any regard to his announced plans or lack of qualifications. Hope it worked, because it's gonna cost you (and unfortunately, me) a lot of money and freedom and almost certainly another terrorist attack or two. Fucking morons.
102. Sigh Again - November 4, 2008 11:53 PM
Great....which one of you Jackholes is gonna pay for my tax hike? What...no volunteers? I am shocked.....
People may not be retarded...they are just not that bright.

OBAMA 2008!!!
Truly an amazing day, and I am so glad to be an important part of this election. Ohio loves you Obama!
To all the racists and ignorant haters, I hope you realize the load of garbage you're spewing. America has chosen, and they don't agree with you.

THANK YOU FOR EFFIN WAKING UP FOR ONCE!
*cues victorious Rocky-type music*
nice try McCain but you never should have added Caribbou Hunting Wack Job Hockey Mom, errr Palin to your ticket. Better to side with Obama now.
and ahem, for all you haters, or rather the same few people who keep signing in under different names, for all your hatred and misinformed ignorance about Obama's ethnicity or "socialism" well too little too late. The Republicans and/or Bush did a bang up job mucking the country up so why don't you wait and see w/out predicting doom just because our new president stands apart historically. Or if you are going to keep whining just move out of the country for a few.....it's a different ball game now baby!!!
XOXOX
107. fisherman - November 4, 2008 11:57 PM
Unless you're making more than $227K a year or more you're not going to see a tax hike from Obama. And if you are making more than that what the &*$# are you doing here, moron.

Come on guys, Obama can't screw things up that badly, unless he sets the Reichstag on fire and declares himself Chancellor. On the other hand, he can't really do all that much - he's only the President, he's got to deal with getting Congress to agree with his plans (they are mostly Democrat, but that doesn't mean they all agree), and dealing with Bush's Supreme Court Justices. Things will pretty much go on as they are, people bitching and moaning, and in four years people will either think the world is ending again or that Jesus has just been reborn, no matter who wins.
117. Wendy - November 5, 2008 12:07 AM
Hey Jaju, so are you saying everyone that voted for Obama is black? Why are you so racist saying that what everyone that is against Obama is a gun-loving whiteboy. What's your problem?
What about the black people who want to carry guns, what do we call them?
118. Sport - November 5, 2008 12:08 AM
"Wow.. for all you people that are still cmplaining about Obama winning. Give it a rest already. He won. He's the president!
NO matter what he does all you pessimists will still be bitching. Just shut up.
YAY Obama!"
Exactly what the Bush haters have been doing to get him elected so kindly STFU.
119. Mandi - November 5, 2008 12:08 AM
ONCE YOU GO BLACK, YOU NEVER GO BACK!
But seriously, this is tremendous. This is one of the few moments in my life I have been truly proud to be an American.
No matter who would have won tonight, it would have been historic - our first black prez. or first female VP - and I think that shows that America is changing for the better already.
I believe Obama will continue to take our country in the right direction.
120. fisherman - November 5, 2008 12:08 AM
Tax Numbers:
Income McCain Obama
$227K $8K - 270K less $0 - 700K more
The sad thing is most of you bitching about Obama will actually get more $ from Obama's tax cuts you %^&* morons.
121. Ridiculous - November 5, 2008 12:09 AM
the absolute most appalling thing about this election is that race and sex were even factors. that should never have even entered the minds of voters when choosing their candidate.
and obama is not african-american. he is half caucasian-american and half african-american. if you're going to be ecstatic about him winning, be happy because you like his policies, not some racial identity he/the nation has painted.
122. Meh - November 5, 2008 12:10 AM
What about me? I'm a non-racist white libertarian gun-lover woman from Kansas who also happens to be in one of the top ten medical schools in the country?
123. Smirk Smiggler - November 5, 2008 12:10 AM
Wow @ 95, you moron. Your economy is in the shits, if taxes aren't raised now how is it ever going to get better? You have no other choice... If McCain was elected sure you'd be happy, but you wouldn't have a company in a month or 2.
Changes are coming, and it's going to suck for a bit then once it's all stabilized it will turn around. Things will get better. If McCain had won, then it would have just gotten worse for another 4 years, if he lived that long, and then Palin would be in charge. Can you honestly say anyone would take the States seriously with Palin in charge?
Good luck with that buddy.
124. ChuckleHead - November 5, 2008 12:10 AM

I'm a kiwi and I applaud your choice tonight.
Viva Obama!!
128. Wendy - November 5, 2008 12:13 AM
Wow. I did not vote for Obama, and I really am very, very sad he is president, but you people who are calling him a ni**er are really wrong. That is truly racist. I would hope you would have something smarter to say like you voted against him because of your beliefs or morals, but no, you are racist.
129. jill.ftw. - November 5, 2008 12:14 AM
for all of you that obviously are too good and too smart to have a "fucking nigger" run the country, i have one thing to say to you.
the great part of america is that if you don't like something you can GET THE FUCK OUT. go to canada, they'll love your ignorant views.
do your research before you say hes a crazy american hating muslim. or a socialist or communist loving bastard.
at least he respects a persons right to chose. barack obama is an intelligent man who has struggled to become a great person. hes a real person who understands struggle. so suck a chode, open your eyes, and get comfortable, otherwise its gunna be a tough 4 years for you pricks.
this is ridiculous. besides one of you ignorant assholes will probably just assassinate him anyway.
fuck.
130. saggybag - November 5, 2008 12:16 AM
Can't wait til' all your employers that pay you for flipping burgers decide to let you go to make up for their higher taxes they have to pay. Say hello to higher prices passed to the consumer when taxes go up. It's ok, you all just don't get it. Never seen so many people in this country jealous and spiteful toward people that have more then they do. It's always someone else fault that you failed in life. But now... Hey! lottery tickets and cigarettes for everyone!! You can all keep on watching all your Dancing with the faggot stars and wait for your WIC vouchers to come in.
131. jtditto - November 5, 2008 12:17 AM
Who fucking cares what color this man is.
I hope he can do great things for our country.
All the "great day for America" because we elected a black man garbage needs to end.
People spewing this stuff are the same people that cheered when the OJ verdict came down.
132. tc - November 5, 2008 12:18 AM
Very disappointed at the political comments here. That isn't what this site is for. I want to see some bigotry, sexism and inappropriate comments. Here is some material to work with.
- His name is OSAMA BIN LADEN SADAM HUSSEIN BARRACK !
- He is black
- He is white
- He has a strange, asymmetric face
- Loser's running mate was a chick
...now get on with what you are good at, and lets have some deeply insulting, hurtful comments.
133. Jess - November 5, 2008 12:19 AM
Thank you. Thank you, America, for giving me hope for the first time in my adult life. Thank you for protecting my rights as a woman. Thank you for realizing that we are in dire need of help. Thank you for seeing through the chirade that was Sarah Palin. Thank you for not validating her.
Thank you for being the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, and the American public for making it so. I am proud to be an American woman.
Today is a historic rebirth of this nation.
134. DJFelix - November 5, 2008 12:19 AM
If his motto this election season was "change" how will he run for re-election? More change?
We will survive this socialist dipshit, just the same as we survived Clinton. It will definitely suck for the next 4 years, but we will survive.
I need to remember to unsubscribe from the President's weekly address. I simply can not stand the sound of that man's voice. (Setting reminder)
135. cannuck - November 5, 2008 12:20 AM
Nopes @ comments for ignorant Americans to just leave to Canada, we like you American's to stay right where you are. Infact stop sending your kids on spring break up here so they can drink. It's there's only so much vomit you can step around in the streets. I was in McD's the other day, and they ran out of apple pies, it was going to take 5 mins as the others were being made. A guy actually started yelling "I'm a American, and this is an American company, I should get an apple pie before everyone else". Because of that, none of these ridiculous comments on this page shock me.
136. Ness - November 5, 2008 12:21 AM
Well done americans! the whole of ireland is watching and cheering :)
137. Dirk Diggler - November 5, 2008 12:21 AM
123- actually, your the moron. Do u even have a job? Probably not, you just want more welfare from real hard working Americans like me, that's why you voted for Obama and that's why this country is going to shit, cuz lazy losers like u.
138. IND - November 5, 2008 12:23 AM

Before you talk about other people's ignorance, kindly learn to spell caribou correctly. You are making the rest of the liberals look bad. Thanks!
139. Kim W. - November 5, 2008 12:23 AM
I'm relieved that Obama won! He's inheriting a bus load of problems, but I truly believe he'll make the right decisions for our country.
140. Truth doctor - November 5, 2008 12:24 AM
Although I didn't vote for him, congrats anyway. Other than a few retards (probably trolls), I think it's pretty telling how the right is taking this. No threats to move to Canada, and no huge "not MY president" outrage. Maturity - at least 47% of the country has it ;)
141. James - November 5, 2008 12:25 AM
Well, I didn't vote for him, but I think it's awesome that America has it's first black President. It sends a great message to other black people that they can be anything they want to be.
142. Kim W. - November 5, 2008 12:25 AM

I did go 25 minutes into november 5th so... yay i guess.

#129 FTW!
Yes exactly. GTF out of my country if you have a problem with our future president. Don't assume that everyone who voted for Obama didn't do their research. I did my research and guess what? He's what I wanted in a president.
Funny how, even though McCain lost, people here can't just be happy for Obama. I think it's hilarious that people are STILL saying nasty things.
WELL GUESS WHAT?!?!?! YOUR MAN LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!

i'm never going to forgive our great country for doing this to it's self. your all a bunch of puppets and fell for the worlds best bull s**t artist. i really had faith that we'd rise above the ignorance, but alas, i'm let down again. have fun when the world gets bombed and you don't have that wonderful health care you were promised to go to the hospital and get the shrapnel removed from your eyes, and you don't have enough money to pay for the surgery either. i'll be laughing from canada.

PS thanks for always having the balls (and the conviction) to comment on domestic violence too. you rock! and even when you're not being awesome you're fucking hilarious. i usually read the blog on my phone which doesn't let me comment, so i'm getting it all out at once. LOVE!

CANNUCK - you are a retard! I'm sure some "American" came over to Canada and demanded his apple pie first because he was an American LOL! That's too funny. Why are you complaining of all the drinking these kids do, your country legalized pot, so you are all a bunch of dope heads up there.
164. Lauren - November 5, 2008 12:37 AM
@ 66.
Jefferson slept with a black lady and then denied it, for his entire life. I wonder what he would think about this elected official. I'm just saying.
I also think that many people are trying to pretend as though the Democratic party is going to do something different from what the Republican party has been doing. Obama is no Clinton, and Obama is definitely not an FDR. He will simply give 'eloquent' speeches as we ride out a recession. Woo...

Well, if you're white and you hate President Obama (feels good saying that) then go the fuck back to WHERE-ever your ancestors came from (feels even better saying that) in Europe... be warned though most of those countries are now really socialist, liberal, think most americans are backwards, and now have lots of muslims or africans there! So good luck with the move.

@ 163, Have you honestly ever heard of a bunch of Canadians coming down the the states and drinking too much, getting all rowdy spring break style in the streets? Have you ever heard of anyone smoking dope and really causing much trouble? Have you ever been on vacation outside of the states? I wish I made up that story, and it was just a terrible stereotype, but no, this actually happened.

regardless of who has been elected, we must embrace him and unite - all this trash talking, un-researched & heavily biased, brainwashed accusations have got to stop. surely you cannot please all the people all the time, but we can work together. have faith in our new president, and have faith in our country, and everything will be ok.
177. Franco - November 5, 2008 12:43 AM

oh man that felt good to say after hearing it for 8 years...
183. love this site. - November 5, 2008 12:47 AM
Oh, my God. I don't even know where to begin in this comment string, except to say that you whiners who lost are all a bunch of pasty-face pissers who just think the entire world is run by one man. So many other factors at work that run this country than just the PRESIDENT. Go see "W" and you'll understand how screwed up it can get...
Okay, enough of that.
Onto more insulting words.
You asswipers who keep using the "N" word, get over yourselves and realize that word doesn't mean anyhting to anybody except from one homey to the next when their joshing around. Its an ignorant insult and I can't believe you're still using the word.
I'm glad for these comments because they made me LMAO at the end of a really long day. You losers who say things like "I'm gonna quit my job now." You're just hoping for some sympathy for your sad life. Its apparently going nowhere.
Yes, Osama has African blood in his veins. But haven't you learned by now we all bleed the same damn color? I mean jeez, just talk to people outside your limited white supremist race once in awhile, there's some great people out there you haven't met yet, just tryna get by like you are.
And you wanted the squating dog McCain to represent this country instead? He looks like he needs a back brace to stay upright!
Okay. One more thing to say, cuz we've been saying it for a couple weeks about everything, and thats,
"BITCHES" Get out of the way!

Who asked you to pipe in that you don't give a fuck about our presidency?
Which country invented this internet and makes the most strides in things you currently use? And why? Because we have freedom, and you know you want more of that, not less.
So, please, give a fuck, okay?
189. Blechnought - November 5, 2008 12:52 AM
I can't believe republicans have the nerve to say we are screwed. After George's long list of blunders, you should all be silent with your tails between your legs!!! Obama has a lot of work ahead of him to clean up Bush's mess.

I can't believe that I am actually surprised at the sheer number of retarded sore losers commenting on this post.
HEY LOSERS, you might as well give the guy a shot, what other choice do you have? I highly doubt any of you are experts in economics and politics, so shut the F up already. You have no clue what you're talking about. Most of you probably still defend George Bush. And you actually stood behind that nimrod Palin. F-ing a-holes. F You. You're the real ni***rs. Ingrates.
195. SJ - November 5, 2008 12:55 AM
FUCK OBAMA.
He's not MY president.
I can't believe how many idiot morons there are in this country. What a bunch of fucktards...
If he was a white man, he never would have won. All these idiots voted for him JUST TO BE DIFFERENT!!!
That's not good change people. That's just a change... and sometimes CHANGE isn't a good thing.
You'll see......
196. Hailey - November 5, 2008 12:55 AM
Okay, folks...
Do any of you fucktards even know what socialism is? You all call him a socialist but that may be the furthest from the truth. Socialism is when the government takes over industries (ie: public works, mining, agriculture, what have you) and regulates their functions by setting prices and wages. WHEN HAS OBAMA EVER PROPOSED ANYTHING REMOTELY CLOSE TO THIS????
Yea, I didn't think so... You all think that things such as universal healthcare constitute socialism. Yes, true, some socialist countries have universal healthcare, but it is a fallacy to conclude that all countries who have it are socialist. All of Europe and Asia have universal health coverage. For Christ's sake, even f***ing Saudi Arabia has it!! The U.S. is the only wealthy industrialized nation without universal health care and that, folk, is just downright sad.

Alright, I admittedly only read through 50 or so comments, but what the fuck? Are the readers of this site really predominately a bunch of backwards redneck idiots? I figured I was in my demographic here, but I guess not. I'm with you, superfish. Go barak. This is the first time I've voted democratic and I've never been so optimistic about where our country is going (certainly couldn't get much worse). Let's hope none of these crazy backwards turds shoots him before he can save us.

Ah, A Socialist black president is a great thing, yes...Somewhere, in a cave in Afgahnistan, Osama bin Laden is making joyful noises.
I'm going to go play "TAPS."
And I agree, SJ...This is reverse racism. He was voted in soley on skin color...he has no experience, and has some terrifying world views. It's all based on color....no matter WHAT credentials a "community organizer" may claim one has.
What a sad, sick day for America.

He kept this country SAFE! You're all still alive aren't you?? Have you no gratitude or thanks for him tirelessly making sure he was doing everything he could to protect all your stupid asses????????
Should be fun to see when the next terrorist attack is that Biden so smartly predicted. That'll be fun... Then you'll all see what you did.

Yes. I'm from South Florida and this happens all the time. Tourists come from all over, get wasted, sometimes get arrested, etc. Canadians included, so drunken belligerence happens here in America courtesy of foreigners as well. Actually, this one time, a drunk guy from Toronto tried to steal my friend's bikini top right off of her. It was kind of funny, really.

actually 196 is right. he's not a socialist. he's actually a Marxist which is worse. he believes in class warfare to achieve his goals. he then wants to llevel the playing field so that the underachievers of the world don't feel left behind. open a book. read the constitution. read the bill of rights. read about Karl Marx. granted, this site isn't such that it would attract too many intelligent people. the fact is, "redistribution of wealth" is a Marxist ideal and is actually structured so that the losers in the world don't fall behind. so, be proud you losers. be proud that you've elected someone who feels so sorry for you, and truly believes you can't make something of yourself, that he's going to take income from hard-working individuals so you don't die in the drive thru of a mcdonald's spending your last penny for another millkshake. and, i'm actually not a republican and voted against obama. so take that. idiots.

Happy as hell!
And congratulations from Israel and Sweden.
You know, the rest of the world has been watching this campaign quite intently as well. We, as in my household, watch Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, David Letterman, Conan - You know, all the stuff that matters from the US. And we've been really wishing for Obama to win. He seems way less crazy than McCain.
He's coming to office when things are pretty screwed up there. But seriously, you guys just had 8 years of George Bush. I hope history remembers that guy as the worst president you ever had. So I hope you would not be flabbergasted when you'll see it takes time to repair all the damage that has been done.
One can of course raise the question, how much of a difference does presidents make anyway? I think the evil doers are still there, trying to make the president, any president, do their bidding. So one can only hope that the current president - Of the United States, the new Israeli prime minister - would have a backbone and wouldn't sell his/her soul.
Good luck!

We're screwed right now because of the Dumbass that most of you conservatives voted for in '00 and '04 who:
1. Ignored warnings about the potential for a 911 attack
2. Started 2 wars based on bullshit so his buddies at Haliburton could benefit.
3. Helped ruin the US in the eyes of the world.
4. Helped ruin our economy through deregulations for wall street and the oil companies.
5. Divided a country he swore to unite.
6. Helped his bottom line by cripling Americans with horrible gas prices.
We should THANK GOD that his 8 years of stupidity are almost over. I don't care of Obama is purple, green or yellow. All I know is he'll fix all the mistakes that you morons helped happen by your Republican votes!!

Congrats to Obama for being the first African-American elected to the Presidency. I may totally disagree with his policies but it is historic indeed and I'm proud we've come so far.
Now, get our your history textbooks and turn to the chapter on Jimmy Carter... Yes He Did. Ouch... not that any of the young pups on this site have a clue what I'm talking about... you care more about being hip than knowing what's going on in the world.

My sources are saying it looks a Palin / Carrot-Top ticket for the GOP in 2012.
GOP insiders are hoping Carrot-Top will appeal both to the party's traditional red states and possibly expand that base to vegetarians. They are also hoping he brings his trunk to public events to add a needed 'zip' said to be lacking at McCain / Palin rallies.
Apparently campaigning for the new set of primaries starts Monday.

235. Gary B - November 5, 2008 1:18 AM
All I say about Obama is, It sucks to be him right now. DO you understand what a job he has awaiting him Jan 20th/ he is the first BLACK president. Now he now has an entire race and a nation as well looking up to him to deliver. he made soem promises that frankly he is not going to be able to do. Like the woman who thinks that Obama is going to pay her mortgage and give her free gas. She is going to have a major rude awakening when that does not happen.
Despite what he said in the campaign, he probably will not pull out of Iraq when he realizes it is more beneficial to him let the soldiers WIN it and at least claim victory as the fighting there is pretty much dying down thanks to the McCain supported surge. We are not pulling out of Afghanistan as even the DEMS realize that is the War we need to be fighting and Iraq distracted us from it.
I just hope we get a prez that realizes that we need to fight terrorism like the COLD WAR with intelligence, diplomacy and showing the world our way of life is the better choice.
236. Hailey - November 5, 2008 1:20 AM
You're calling all poor people "losers"? Tell me, what exactly makes them losers? Because they're disabled? they're elderly? They're a single mother raising 4 kids?
The idea of "redistribution" as you so put it is not to back up people who ride on the tailcoats of society, but rather to help those whom society itself has subjugated as a result of poor upbringing, our horribly inadequate public school system, and other circumstances not under their control. This is because that oft-lauded Trickle-down theory doesn't f**ing work!!! The rich when left to their own will find ways to retain their wealth at the expense of the poor. They're not going to pass down wealth via wages, etc. You know why? Because we're all human and at the end of the day we care about ourselves first, not others... And anyways, middle class and low income people help the rich in return. They consume goods and services, which make the value of stocks go up.
If this "Marxism" is what we need to set the country straight, then bring it on. Btw, I'm not a "loser" and I'm not poor. I go to an Ivy league school and study finance, of all things. I'd probably be the last person you'd think would advocate higher taxation for the wealthy.

Wow... Obama is certainly not going to be the magical ointment that heals all that ails this nation. At best he's going to get a bunch of shit heaped all over him for the first 2 years and then if he's worth anything we might see some positives but by that time he will be so worried about getting re-elected and not getting assassinated that he won't do shit and we will have another Carter on our hands. Once he loses the re-election to Sarah Palin in 2012 the economy starts making a turnaround because he actually snuck in something worthwhile but honestly... considering his predecessor... he could jack it all day and never leave his desk and it would be more positive than the last 8 years. So Palin benefits from the economic turnaround and she gets re-elected in 2016 and then boom... Iran nukes us cuz Obama and Palin know nothing about international diplomacy!
But by that time I will be in Europe banging European chicks.
This is going to ROCK!

244. Well if you want to get technical... - November 5, 2008 1:25 AM
@ 212. (Your Dad)
"We're screwed right now because of the Dumbass that most of you conservatives voted for in '00 and '04 who:" Let me rebut your "well thought out" attack on Bush:
1. "Ignored warnings about the potential for a 911 attack"... we have a True Believer here... no one ignored anything... they didn't deem it actionable at the time because it was coming from a field agent - this probably happens 203032 times a day. And by the way... your boy Clinton had Bin Laden in custody.... an inconvenient truth I must say.
2. "Started 2 wars based on bullshit so his buddies at Haliburton could benefit." Wow, you really have those ultra-liberal talking points down! How about you ask the Iraqis about being free you thoughtless ass? For as much of a "dumbass" as you claim him to be, you sure give him the credit of an evil genius mastermind.
3. "Helped ruin the US in the eyes of the world." Screw the world.. they lost the will to fight a long time ago and they're in MUCH worse shape than we are... it seems as though most of their economies were tied up in our "corrupt system". Get a clue.
4. "Helped ruin our economy through deregulations for wall street and the oil companies." - This is your best piece of dumbassery. It was the incessant need of the left to grant housing to all (it's a right not a privilege they said) and the arm-twisting of lending companies that ensued which landed us here. Ask your boy Clinton again... he said as much. You have him, Obama, Dodd, and Barney Frank to thank for that as much as anyone. McCain, Bush and other Republicans are on record (look it up) as having warned that this could be coming while Barney Frank was blubbering on that the didn't see any need for concern.
5. "Divided a country he swore to unite." - it takes two to tango... the vitriol came from the left. Nice try though, douche.
6. "Helped his bottom line by cripling Americans with horrible gas prices." - and we've come from left field again. HIS bottom line? Last time I checked the President doesn't set the price of gas you ignorant ass. You see, there's this thing called the free market... nevermind, you wouldn't grasp it (hint: it's the same reason gas is under $2 a gallon down the street right now - read a book on economics please)
"We should THANK GOD that his 8 years of stupidity are almost over. I don't care of Obama is purple, green or yellow. All I know is he'll fix all the mistakes that you morons helped happen by your Republican votes!!" - and here we have the grand finale of idotry... Obama won't fix anything. In fact... he'll probably deliver on about 20% of what he promised, blame Bush some more, then sweet talk your dumbass into a second term. Then, you'll wake up one day to realize that all of the taxes he leveraged on the rich and corporations eliminated untold amounts of jobs and wealth creating investments from the market (our corporations will move offfshore to avoid paying ridiculous corporate taxes and capital gains tax - they already are)... that tax cut you were promised won't mean much when you don't have a paycheck.

236 you're missing the point. simply taxing corporations and LLCs isn't going to do anything but increase the underprivileged. as you put it, anyone in a position to earn money will not willingly distribute it en masse. so, when you raise taxes and minimum wage, and now add in healthcare ... people get laid off. corporations will NOT cut into their profit margin. they simply pass the extended cost of taxes to the consumer WHILE adding to unemployment by laying off employees because costs have skyrocketed. ask anyone who lived under these exact same policies under jimmy carter. record inflation. gas prices thru the roof (nothing like we saw this summer), and a stagnant economy afraid to succeed because of the penalties attached to it.
if you are who you claim to be (an educated person) then certainly you don't think Marxism is healthy for this country. there is a reason we have a constitution and bill of rights.

251. Shut the fuck up about Obama taxing you already! - November 5, 2008 1:28 AM
Obama IS NOT going to tax average working Americans and give it to people who don't work and are on welfare! Try researching sometime instead of just watching/listening to right wing media spout scare tactic nonsense!
From Factcheck.org: "As we've said any number of times, what Obama proposes would not raise taxes on any "hard-working families" unless they make more than $250,000 a year, a very small fraction of families. Independent analysis has shown than 95 percent of families with children would see federal income taxes go down."
And if Obama is a Muslim, why has he attended a Christian church for over 20 years? Yes, I know it's radical Rev. Wright's church, but it's still a CHRISTIAN church not a mosque. And even if he WAS a muslim, since when is that a crime? In America? Where people came for religious freedom?

255. Jessica - November 5, 2008 1:37 AM
#1. Congrats to Barack Obama. You've hit a truly historical milestone that thousands of people never thought they'd see.
#2. Anyone who voted in this election based on race alone should be ashamed. Race isn't going to improve our country's status.
#3. To those making racist comments...how do you even call yourself an American?
#4. To those making the Muslim comments and then asking God to have mercy. Did you know that the Christian faith and the Muslim faith are both branched from the Jewish faith, both of which worship God Almighty. The difference is the Holy Bible and the Qu'ran. The Bible is the word of God interpreted by many prophets, including Moses, Solomon, Matthew and Paul. The Qu'ran is the word of God interpreted by Muhammed, who they believe to be the only prophet. Many of the stories including the creation line up almost exactly. Most American Muslims are more dedicated to God than American Christians. You've got to consider the world in which the Muslims who have been brainwashed into becoming terrorists live in; they live in country's who are often in war and have lost family members and friends. They've been brainwashed by Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Consider the source.
#5. To those saying this country died today...have you been in this country for the last eight years? We've gone so far downhill, I'd pinpoint that as the death before the election of Barack Obama.
Before you make a comment, you should at least have the information to back it up; otherwise you just look like an idiot.

Damn, it seems that a lot of you fuckheads believe he's going to ruin our country with his "socialism". You're just falling prey to the GOP's scare tactics. Grow up.
How is he going to ruin a country that was ruined by 8 years of an absolute idiot? If you think McCain was better than him you need to grow a brain stem and wake the fuck up.

Oh, and 259 ... I don't think anyone on this board, or in this country, gives a flying fuck what anyone from Australia thinks. Aren't you a country of excommunicated criminals and lepers?
Hey, gang, I think Democrats and Republicans alike can all agree on this one; I'd never want to be Australian! I may not have voted for Obama but I'd much rather be an American with a President I don't see eye-to-eye with than ever be a meaningless and pointless Australian.
G'night everybody! Try the veal! Remember to tip your waitress....

I don't know what else to say except kick-ass!!! Yeah, its immature, but its just the thought that pops in my head. I hope he turns out to be as great a man as we are hoping for. And I am excited to see a "minority" taking the "crown" from the typical rich white guy. Thats my opinion as a white woman. But overall I think race does not and should not matter. Sarah Palin was an idiot, plain and simple. I don't care if she's black, white, female, tranny, you name it. She was ridiculous as a VP elect. All that being said, I can give due respect to McCain; I truly believe he loves this country...I just think it was the wrong place & time in history for him. And he can espc thank Georgie Porgie for that. GWB will probably go down as the worst president in US history. Thank God he's gettin' the heave ho in a couple months...not soon enough!

271. Hailey - November 5, 2008 1:50 AM
I was not refering to taxing corporations as much as taxing wealthy individuals (income > $200,000). And anyways, higher taxes won't necessarily stall production since corporations oftentimes use higher tax rates to their advantage by taking on debt. That is because they get debt interest tax shields that can sometimes produce positive cash flows. Sure, high leverage is not always the safest policy... but in times like these when our credit markets are starting to stagger, it might be a good idea to stimulate them a little bit. But it is hard to say what will happen, since markets never really function perfectly do they? And so much depends upon perception...
Yea, the Marxist comment was sarcasm

@256
Osama won BEFORE some had the chance to vote. This election was a farce led by the media who needed a black president to win to stick it to the Bush supporters. Why bother trying to vote if the terrorist is declared a winner by the press while you're still in line. If you don't think Osama won just because he is black, you are delusional. *"Consider the source"* I am, I guess it's going to take another major loss of life before you politically correct, woe is the terrorist/black sypathizers wake the hell up. Then who will you blame? Money says it won't be Obama bin Laden. You'll find some white guy to pin the blame. Cause you know us whites are the devil.

276. David - November 5, 2008 1:55 AM
A moment of silence for the United States. RIP what was once a true democracy where people actually took the time to understand the issues, the consequences of a vote, and not allow the media to tell them what to do. Yes, let us watch as actors and musicians and others who make millions suck up to liberal ideas because they can afford more taxes and they know their bucks are buttered on the backs of the lower middle class. Let us watch as another TRILLION dollars is spent to build even more government that can care for another new welfare state and those who believe it is the governments job to care for them. Quick children, let;s get in line and begin to cow-tow to the most corrupt organization the planet has ever known, the United Nations. Let us also bow our heads in shame for our service men and women, who must now be commanded by a political neophyte who has stated that the only thing they do is bomb and kill innocent women and children.
A pathetic moment in this nation's once proud history. His color is not the issue. His politics are. The age of socialism, more money being handed to lazy people who can't or won't do for themselves, and anyone who makes something of themselves being forced to pay for the lazy because it's their "duty" has begun.
Shame on you America. Shame on you for buying into the rhetoric. Shame on you for not remembering the adage about judging someone by the company they keep. Shame on those of you who have elected a man who preens at the fire of a man who says it's best to "God damn America".
I am a Republican. I am proud to be one. I am today ashamed to be a part of the latest world society to surrender itself to liberal and socialistic pandering.
Congratulations on your victory, Liberals. Now go out and get a job.

Though, I'm convinced some of you actually voted for Mayor McCheese in the drive thru.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/05/16/attack/main509294.shtml
Bush knew that the terroists would attack and under his 'watchful eye' we got attacked anyway. And what did he do when he found out about the attacks? He sat in a chair holding a children's book shitting himself. But I'm sure a fuctard like you could relate since that's exactly what you did when they told you that your dick was actually used to fuck humans not livestock.
You might want to read this too:
http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-130062
Exxon Mobile's quarterly profit was released today. For the quarter of July-September they made a profit of
$14.8 billion
the largest national quarterly profit in history. These profits were made after the highest gas prices in history this summer.
Keep in mind, these profits were attainable under the current BUSH tax plans which taxes Exxon and oil companies like it at a rate of 35%.
McCain's plan is to further these tax cuts and drop them even lower to 25%.
From CNN's factcheck explains that under McCain's tax cut plan oil companies like Exxon will receive $4 billion.
I don't listen to celebrities to decide my politics cuz most of the them are millionaires who don't know shit about the average middle class American.
What you need to realize assclown is that 8 more years of tax breaks for CEOs/Billion Dollar companies, foriegn policy fuckups and insane gas prices won't help this country.

299. me - November 5, 2008 2:22 AM
293 - LOL! You might actually be the most ignorant person on this board. The simple fact is when you raise taxes on corporations you simply raise the price of consumer goods for everyone else, including you. All those items you buy at the store with your Govt check will increase in price. Corporations don't pay that tax directly after a certain limit, they simply raise their prices, layoff employees, and then hide money in off-shore accounts to avoid capital gains tax. I won't explain capital gains tax to you because it has monosyllabic words and would require you to stop eating Cheetos and learn.
As for your links - uh, why don't you just get your facts directly from Michael Moore, you total moron? Your boy Bill Clinton actually brokered the deal that released bin Laden from prison. So ... uh ... yeah, actually that's about it for that one. Idiot. I realize your small intellect can't comprehend that because of the problems in the 200 election, Bush didn't actually take office until the spring of 2001 giving him only a few months to prepare anything. 9/11 was years in the making, they didn't just hatch the plan in March of '01. You've also completely forgotten the attack on the USS Cole, the US Embassies in Africa, and the first attack on the WTC in 1992.
It amazes me you don't forget to blink or breathe during the day. And yes, Exxon/Mobil did post record profits ... based on fuel costs that the open market and OPEC, NOT Bush or any other American politician, set. However, something your pea brain won't ever comprehend is that Exxon/Mobil also paid in taxes what a full 40% of this country paid in total taxes all year. So ... thanks to their record profits your dumbass had even MORE money to suck off the welfare system ... that's more money for your food stamps, your herpes meds, etc.

@ 176, one intelligent thought, in a sea of emotional comments.
@ 243 I think the most comments was somewhere around 550...so this isn't even close.
@ 255/Jessica-I agree with alot of what your saying, but I think you should check some of your facts: Muslims actually believe in many of the same prophets as Christians and Jews, including but not limited to; Moses, Abraham, and yes, even Jesus. The difference is Muslims believe that God did not have a son, and that Jesus was just another prophet. But, for the most part you are right on.
@ everyone else- Why can't we just wait and see what Obama will actually do, before judging him, and getting so emotional. If anything Democrats, and liberals gave Bush a chance; now it's the Republicans' turn to give Obama a chance. He hasn't even taking office yet, and many are claiming we're doomed. If he is a bad president, which I highly doubt he'll be, we will have to live with our choice, and support him, until we are given the chance to elect a new president.
Also, for those of you posting 'stop saying this is important because he's black'. You are failing to recognize that no matter how much you try to fight the race aspect of this election, it is still there, and is something to be acknowledged. I'm glad that we (America as a whole) can elect someone who is not a typical white man. Not that I have anything against white men, but when will America lose it's prejudices? Seriously. Does the president of the U.S. have to be a Christian? I certainly hope not, especially for a country which boasts it's freedom of thought, and speech.
Congrats, to Obama, America, and the rest of the world.
For now, we should all just be happy, that the end of Bush's presidency is near, and we can only go up from here. :)

Congratulations America!
You made the best decision you could ever have and my confidence in you has been restored somewhat. Obama was the right choice, and with his newer ways of thinking are rather refreshing for your country and also the rest of the world. All this said Obama is in a really bad situation to be president and this will become evident as the worst of the financial crisis comes to fruition. I believe a lot of people will end up blaming him for critical errors made by past government.
Good luck America hopefully you elected someone who can guide you succesfully into the future.

Ok Barack is not muslim you idiot! His father (who left his family like a coward) was a muslim not his mother and not Barack, religion is a belief nothing more....if he says he's christian then he is christian not muslim. and even if he was muslim who the fuck cares, get over it my god!!! not all muslims hate americans but its comments like the ones you make that will make sure the ones that dont do.

Congratulations America!
You made the best decision you could ever have and my confidence in you has been restored somewhat. Obama was the right choice, and with his newer ways of thinking are rather refreshing for your country and also the rest of the world. All this said Obama is in a really bad situation to be president and this will become evident as the worst of the financial crisis comes to fruition. I believe a lot of people will end up blaming him for critical errors made by past government.
Good luck America hopefully you elected someone who can guide you succesfully into the future.
Also a special wishing of luck to David with his fantasticly dramatic posting at #276, I hope you can all pray with me that he pulls his head out of his ass before he fucking suffocates!

It is cool that a black guy won....
It just sucks that he is a socialist.. Class warfare loving.. take care of people too lazy to do it themselves, people can’t be trusted to protect themselves, protectionist, Labor union owned fuck..
Oh well sit back and watch the comedy show for the next few years that will be the US government. To all those foreigners out there that think this is so great what do you think about Obama’s economic protectionism that could no doubt effect your countries. I mean just a few weeks ago labor unions were trying to get Boeing to sing away their right to outsource labor to other countries now Obama is in the big chair and they own him.
What the hell are Colbert and Stewart going to talk about now? Are they going to try to be funny again instead of sucking Obama’s cock every night?
330. EBB in illinois - November 5, 2008 3:04 AM
i'd just like to point out one small small fact for you all: Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. Soooooo he is half white and about roughly half middle eastern NOT black
331. spike - November 5, 2008 3:04 AM
Fish, you're ignorant or whoever is the writer, Obama isn't president, yet. He's the President-elect. Dumbass.
332. The Sheeple Have Spoken! - November 5, 2008 3:04 AM
Wow...you people are truly fucking stupid. If any of you had a god damn clue you wouldn't have voted for either. I voted for Cynthia McKinney because i could not bring myself to vote for McCain or Obama. Just look at how pathetic you people are. Are you all FUCKING BRAINWASHED? I see people crying on TV and carrying on like the fucking world was just saved by the messiah. Everywhere I go I see people saying "we just made history, we are cool" like it's a fucking horse race or football game and that making history is more important than reality. No, you didn't do shit but buy into another puppet who won't run a fucking thing. Low IQ having motherfuckers. Just stay the fuck out of my way or you will regret it.
333. JR - November 5, 2008 3:06 AM
Can we talk about how America just had one of the most historic moments in history...and we all come to a celebrity gossip site? (I'm not one to talk, but that's kinda weird ain't it?)
And can we also talk about how bad Republicans are at LOSING? I mean, I haven't heard such whiny shit since kindergarten. Wah wah waaaaah! Jesus, it's not like you didn't see it coming.
Did you really think that this nation was going to let your party get behind the wheel again after keeping our boys at WAR, causing a worldwide economic MELTDOWN by over deregulating (Alan Greenspan's words, take it up with him if you want to argue with your beloved champion of free markets), stripping us of our civil liberties with the Patriot Act and putting ridiculous Justices on the Supreme Court, keeping our citizens living in a state of constant FEAR, and causing us to lose any respect people had for us in the international community.
Yes, your taxes will go up if you're in the higher brackets. But maybe the crowds roaring approval across the country tonight is a signal that you should pull your head out of your ass and see that this country does not revolve around you and your paycheck. It is a fucking PRIVILEGE to live in this country, and it is not free. That sounds familiar right? Isn't that what you argue when you send our soldiers off to war? For all the ruckus your party stirs up about morals and decent traditional society governed by Jesus Christ, why is it that all you really care about is how much your taxes will be raised?
334. TruthSpokenHere - November 5, 2008 3:06 AM
Suddenly the world is a better, brighter place. :) My faith in humanity is restored. The nightmare that was the last 8 years is finally over. FINALLY.
George Bush will go down as the ABSOLOUTE WORST presedent in recent memory. An Inept, bumbling buffoon that did to our country's reputation, economy, and morale what the planes did to the twin towers. The reign of this incompetant jackass is OVER, and no matter what Obama does in his first term won't even compare to the epic failure that will forever be Bush's legacy.
Thank God there are still people in this country who still embrace decency, intellegence and moral character over scare tactics, rumor mongering and mud slinging. You can mock and slander and sling arrows all you want, I am going to bed giddy with the notion that this country has proven that MLKs dream is still alive and kicking. (spew your hate, the few of you in the minority, the rest of the world is moving forward without you and your bigotry.)
PEACE :)
335. Brobama - November 5, 2008 3:06 AM
"Obama's second largest demographic is with postgraduate Americans"
So that automatically makes you smarter? Aren't most of them just sitting on your ass in a classroom & paying tuition? With your fondness of sitting around, no wonder you support Obama. Mark Twain said it best: "I never let my schooling interfere with my education."
Open your eyes to reality, you tit.
336. TheTruth - November 5, 2008 3:07 AM
OK, I have had enough. To all of the people who are writing obituaries for the United States, sit down, take a deep breath, and read this.
For as proud as I am right now of our country, I am just as disappointed. I would like to think that a group of people that are confident enough to appreciate their own opinions would also be just as confident to accept a little "personal accountability" for some things. Barack Obama cannot fix this country, John McCain can't either. We, the people of this still great country, are the ones that are tasked with that challenge.
We have to let go of our materialistic obsession, or for those internet gaming fans out there, we have to stop being "loot whores". Maybe we don't need to have a "pop-up navi" in our car, or a telephone that can transform into a latte machine, or that third vacation to the Bahamas this year. As my Father used to say, "If you can't afford it, don't buy it". Time to buckle down folks.
Neither candidate is a socialist or communist, no matter what Fox News or MSNBC told you. Both candidates are people that wanted to help catalyze the change that this country needs. They just happened to have differing opinions on what means were necessary to best lay the foundation for it.
There are a lot of people suffering out there, single mothers and fathers that work two or three jobs just to keep up with rising gas prices and to feed their children. Sick people that have to skip doses of their medication just so they can make it through week until they can afford to get their prescription refilled . Even businesses that had an owner, or, CEO, or board of directors that have seen sales drop off and can't afford to buy themselves a new desk.
And if people want to argue over who gets what slice of whomever's pie, go right ahead. If you make over $250,000 and don't want to pay extra taxes, and would like to get some of that "redistributed wealth" , quit your current line of work and pick up a job digging ditches for ten dollars an hour. I'm sure you'd like that a lot better. A wise man once said "Somebody always has to take out the garbage." While this statement is true, it doesn't mean that those people need to be kicked in the teeth while doing it.
I am not a black, or a white, or a christian, or an Islamic, I am an American. We are all Americans. So let's stop whining and pointing fingers at each other, waiting for someone else to solve the problem. Instead, why don't we all stand together and help fix our country. The candidates are not the change, we are.
Sorry this was long and ranty, but I am exhausted of the complaining and the greed and the stubbornness and the apathy. Thanks for listening.

How cute. The jelly fish are playing their false left/right politics. They actually think that it matters who they vote for lol...that's a good one. I guess you guys didn't know that both Obama and McCain are controlled by the same people? Good god, you people are pathetic as it fucking gets. You just put a puppet in office and you think it is awesome because "history" was made. Fucking idiots. Neither Obama or McCain was worthy of our votes. Go back to crying on TV and acting like the world was just saved.

Maybe finally America will earn some respect. I am proud to say I am not American. And have looked down on Americans for the past 8 years. This outcome of the Election has earned you some respect from me.
And to all the idiot sore losers... I don't care if you have to pay more taxes or what not. It's called Karma, the money will go to those who deserve it, certainly not you ignorant-too-stupid-to-live Americans.

wow. i watched your election today from australia and thought that obama was definately the right choice. he has the power to inspire and that is a quality that is definately important to any leader.
i cant believe that people are being so prejudice against obana fro his middle name and religion. muslims do not equal anti americans or terrorists. if you think that, then you are blind.
and to those haters of obama, theres nothing you can really do, so why not support the man that will be leading your country. in my opinion he looks like he will be a historic president for all the right reasons.

I have a hard time believing someone "who types like dis and doesnt use any form of ponctuasion (punctuation)" makes enough money each year to be on the "rich" side of the tax line?
It pisses me off that it's a big deal that Obama is black. He's a freakin' awesome candidate, no matter that he's black. I'm sick of hearing he won "because he's black" but I'm more sick of racial slurs.
I wasn't going around calling John McCain "Old Balls McScaryWife"... I was only thinking it in my head.

PIGMENT you nazi fuck heads- NOTHING else.) This is a great change for America, appreciate what you have you pretentious bastards, i personally welcome a beautiful family, a supreme man and a change that'll make history and change America for the better.
Yay Obama. And yeah, thank fuck we don't have to be intimidated by the asinine Sarah Palin anymore.

Obama, Bitches!
P.S. Republican pseudo-intellectuals, and you know who you are, at least google "socialist" before trying to use it as a derogatory slur. And while you're at it, perhaps if you learned to properly pronounce "nuclear" fewer people would ( openly ) laugh at you. Give it a shot. What have you got ( left ) to lose, fucktards?
361. Adrienne - November 5, 2008 4:05 AM
I'm disappointed in how many horrible and sad comments are on here so I thought I would post my comments from tonight just for other readers like me who wanted some more positive:
I have always been proud to be an American. There have been some points in my life that I have been disappointed in things about America. Maybe, I would have gone so far as to say that I've been disappointed in the America of the moment. But so many things that Obama said tonight really struck home with me. I do think America is a place where most things are possible. I do believe America is a place of change and hope and wonderful opportunities. I believe.
I'm filled with joy, wonder, and some sense of completion. Not completion that we are done, because I agree with the President-Elect, we have only entered into the beginning. But- a sense of completion that I have seen with my very eyes, a momentous and wonderful change. I am full tonight. I hope that I can keep this feeling for months and years to come. I want to be an even better American for America. And this means that I will become a better person. And I believe fully and wholeheartedly that our President-Elect wants the very same thing for himself and for all of us.

Also, it wasn't a race election, it was an election for the best representative of this country, a fantastic leader who would change America for the better, direct it towards a more optimistic future and instill a belief that you can come together as a cohort to make change.
Good on you Barack Obama, from what i gather, Sydney is pretty fucking proud to call the US our mate at this point in time and shall continue to watch your country blossom under this great leader.

Anyhow, to all you New Zealanders, Austrailians, Canadians, Eurotrash and the like: FUCK YOU AND GO FUCK YOURSELVES!!!
You speak as if Bush and Bush alone went in, unilaterally, and invaded Iraq. Before a president does anything, he/she has to get approval from our Congress. There is so much power an American president has (thank God!).
We Americans need to worry more about whom we elect locally and to Congress (they make the laws!) than whom we elect as president (he/she executes the laws!). We're not looking for your approval, so before you fucking foreigners spew stupid shit about how proud you are of us and that we're smart to elect Obama you need to find how our government really works.
385. Mendo - November 5, 2008 5:43 AM
What the hell people? Your just making up shit now. Obama is a terrorist; Obama is a Muslim. Obama is a Communist. I think I am going to give it a try making up ridiculous shit. McCain worked for the Mexican cartel while in Vietnam and sold broken jeep parts for blow; actually, that is easy. I see why you do it now.
Also, I think we should all be happy for whoever was voted in because atleast its not more of the same train wreck of a president as Bush. What didn't he fuck up I ask you?

#379 and that's why you're a Republican American and entitled to be close minded and absent of facts or knowledge :)
My socialist health care system? I wouldn't trade my health care system for a system that bankrupts people who need care for anything in the world. When I get sick and need to get better, I like the only thing I have to worry about is getting better and not paying thousands of dollars in health insurance. Oh my health insurance company covers 90 percent of me yet my bill is over 300,000 dollars. Where does the avg family come up with 30 thousand dollars to pay for health insurance and why are so many families in America going bankrupt to their hospital bills? And why are so many families not getting covered because your corrupt health insurance companies looks for any loop hole to get out of covering them when they really need it?
Thanks but no thanks, you can keep your health care system. I would not dare live in a country that doesn't take care of all their citizens no matter how much money they make. That is just barbaric and disgusting to turn people away who need help. I guess that's the difference between Canadians and Americans. We believe in helping our neighbour regardless of their skin color or economic situation.
If you think Canada and Great Britain are socialists because your fear mongering politicians who get paid to push the health insurance companies political agenda's is terrible cause your so ignorant to whats really going on? Oh well I guess we'll live happily and healthier then you and not have to worry about losing our houses if god forbid any of us comes down with cancer.
Btw your 2 spots higher then "evil" Cuba in the World Wide Health care ratings. Pretty bad when "evil" Cuba takes care of their people just as good if not better then the American government.
If you believe everything your Republican fear mongering politicians tell you then you better go check your closet for the boogeyman too.

Well this should be interesting. One thing to note. This current administration lost billions of dollars, in wars, and in this bailout. The American people were basically held at gun point, and no one went to jail, no leaders were drug out into the streets and beaten, nothing. You people who are resistant to this president are going to find that the people you had trust in bankrupted your futures and left you and your children in debt.
There have been two, without a doubt, good presidents in this country: Lincoln and JFK. Both realized that a system where the government borrows currency from a private entity, that bears interest, locks its citizens into a permanent debt they can never overcome, otherwise known as slavery. Which is the system we have now with the Federal Reserve, news flash it is a private bank.
It cost the FED 7 dollars, in materials, to print a 100 dollar bill, which they then turn around and loan, on interest, to the American public. A debt and interest that can only be repaid by borrowing more money from the FED, since they control the money supply. Think about that.
391. THE WORLD IS CELEBRATING - November 5, 2008 6:09 AM
This election said so much about how people truly feel about society and their fellow human beings. I feel sorry for all those that are unable to enjoy this moment. The crowds themselves paint a telling picture.
The sea of people cheering Obama were people of all races and walks of life, people coming together for a shared hope of a better tomorrow, a better world, and a trouncing of racial barriers that have divided and damaged your beloved nation and this world for centuries. People around the world are celebrating this great moment in history and that would not have been true if McCain had won, certainly not to any comparable level.
The whitewashed crowds of republicans were a sea of miserable white faces, what a sad and segregated portion of your country. There was NO racial diversity in those crowds of elitists who exhibited no joy in this historic moment, who sat on the sidelines pouting while the rest of the country joined together hand in hand and heart in heart in celebration of hope and human triumph. You can put the images of the crowds side by side and the pictures are worth THOUSANDS of words.
McCain and his supporters were willing to oppose a historic moment of immense importance, continue 8 years of dysfunctional and destructive politics that have caused so much suffering in a country that has reached it’s breaking point, and climb to a position of power on the shoulders of hateful, uneducated ignorant bigots, who make up a significant portion of his voters. If he cared about his country as he says he does and was happy for this historic moment as he said he was he would not have been standing where he was for the last 18 months. Your country could have celebrated this moment together as a whole, but sadly there are still many people who don’t want to be the UNITED states. Thankfully the United Americans who will make a difference, the good ones, the people who matter stood together.
Today is a monumental historic moment and it will be said again and again so get used to it because the good people in the world are celebrating. This is our time, we have spoken and the word is CHANGE. This is not just a victory for Americans, but for the whole world.
Having traveled all my life, all over the world; throughout Europe, Africa and North America I can tell you that Barack has made a difference for people all over this planet. My family of all ages, which is scattered all over the world, are celebrating this joyous day.
My husband and I hugged with tears in our eyes as we listened to Barack’s first speech as the 44th President, sharing a joy we hoped and prayed we would live to see someday. Today I called my 88 year old grandmother, who has seen both world wars, lost her husband and soulmate in one, and has seen unspeakable injustice and suffering. We shared in this great moment an ocean apart and delighted in this incredible victory that has given us so much happiness, gratitude, satisfaction and HOPE.
People of all races, backgrounds, nationalities, ages, and walks of life, democrats and republicans who believe in principals and in humanity feel united today because the UNITED STATES came TOGETHER to step forward into the bright future and continue humankind’s journey to better ourselves and our world.
I wish for everyone in this world to find it within themselves to cherish this incredible moment and celebrate it together as THE UNITED WORLD OF GREAT COUNTRIES. One world, one race, coming together for CHANGE and BETTERMENT!

Ahhh spike? Your president used 9/11 as an excuse to pass legislation to usurp the powers of congress so he could pretty much do whatever he wanted...... I thought that was pretty much common knowledge? It was reported up here in Canada............. So what have they been telling you? You might want to take a look at the patriot act too which took a ton of liberties away from the American people in the name of making the people afraid. That was also passed because of 9/11. So 9/11 enabled Bush to gain more power over his government, gain more control over his people by instilling fear, invade a sovereign nation for it's oil and benefit to your weapons manufacturing companies.............. Yet that doesn't raise any questions with you when the Bush family has ties to big oil and close friends high up in those companies that build all your weapons. Hmmmm you'd think that would cause you to ask some questions? Hmmmm or what about the North American Union which basically erased all borders with Mexico and Canada that Bush basically did on his own without the approval of the house. That never made you ask some questions either? The NAU is kind of a big deal and it's been admitted even on CNN that Bush signed it off almost in a secret manner....
Geez, so strange. I wonder why you never brought up any of this in your comment, oh wait
"Anyhow, to all you New Zealanders, Austrailians, Canadians, Eurotrash and the like: FUCK YOU AND GO FUCK YOURSELVES!!!"
That's right, spike you're a moron.

397. Pris - November 5, 2008 6:20 AM
Can I ask why people are getting so upset about 'Socialism' and free healthcare etc, when America has free schools and a free fire-service and a free police force? If America was truly capitalist and charged for everything then I'd understand the concern. Anyway, congratulations from Scotland.
398. MendoBud - November 5, 2008 6:23 AM
Only time will tell if he is good or bad. I didn't dislike Bush until late in his term because you can't hate someone that hasn't done anything wrong yet. How can you loath someone that hasn't even taken office yet?
Hell, Obama may be exactly like ever other political figure and has just said he will do stuff he never plans on doing.
It is entertaining though to here some far right's bitch and say they want to leave the country now because it sounds just as ridiculous coming from them as it does from the far left.
At least this was an over-welling popular vote not like the 2000 election mess.
399. Mike - November 5, 2008 6:28 AM
"Can I ask why people are getting so upset about 'Socialism' and free healthcare etc... congratulations from Scotland. "
Well, when doctors become government workers like mailmen, they tend not to go into practice anymore. Which means a country like, say Scotland, has to import its healthcare workers from places like say Pakistan. Now, sometimes these foreign workers may not be up to the high standards of the old doctors, and they may try to do things like say, set off a bomb at Glasgow airport. Just sayin'.
400. caitie - November 5, 2008 6:28 AM

Why? They earn $164K for being an NHS doctor.
"Now, sometimes these foreign workers may not be up to the high standards of the old doctors, and they may try to do things like say, set off a bomb at Glasgow airport."
But the guy who organised the bombing was Scottish.
Thanks for answering the question though. If Obama does give some free health care or money off health care to Americans, I'm sure you will grow to like it.

Pris there's no point in trying to convince Americans that our health care systems are far superior to theirs. Their politicans who have been paid off by these same health insurance companies to push these fearful fantasies to the american people will always influence them more then say logic. Unfortunately they people won't wake up until they are in a situation when they are drowning in debt from trying to pay off their health care bills.
In Canada my 80 year old grandfather had a 12 hour emergency heart surgery that took 3 surgeons who all gave him a less then 20 percent chance of survival. Such a surgery in America would have costed 100's upon 100's of thousands of dollars. I'd like to know which Insurance company would cover that in full for an 80 year old man in America? Oh but I guess their answer is "Let the old man die, he's lived long enough"
Well I'm glad to say My Grandfather is still alive and well with a total debt of 0 dollars. I also live in a city of 120,000 people and it's amazing that I can have such fantastic doctors in a socialist system such as mine eh?

I suppose that's high ...for Scotland. Certainly for Pakistan. Not in the U.S.A.
"But the guy who organised the bombing was Scottish."
Wow. A regular Guy Fawkes. Happy Fifth of November btw!
"If Obama does give some free health care or money off health care to Americans, I'm sure you will grow to like it. "
Free? I don't think so. The only ones who get free are the illegals who get treatment and then disappear. Ever hear of taxes? Aye. There's the rub.

#410 I think Bush already did a good enough job of taking away our liberties that Obama will probably not have very much interest in it.
http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/03/18/143304.php
You might want to take a read of the Patriot act which stripped us of many of our civil liberties.
Took over 50 years for our debt to reach 5 trillion. How long did it take Bush? 8. He doubled our national debt to 10 trillion in just 8 years.
So he's taken away our civil liberties, almost bankrupt our nation yet you people are afraid of an intelligent black man who graduated top of his class from Harvard.
Give your heads a shake.

So if you don't want the evil socialized health care. You better get rid of your police, fire fighters, and school systems then and start paying money for all of them.

Congrats and may god/buddha/jebus bless you all.
Mccain was awesome until he let the crazy part of the republican party steal his integrity.
He too is a man worthy of respect.
Palin honestly deserves to be shot just the she shoots helpless animals.

You can tell who has a classier crowd. During McCain's concession speech, his supports "booed" at the mention of Obama, but while Obama was giving his speech, when he mentioned McCain, there was no booing, no yelling of negative things. Now that is something to think about.
428. Jill - November 5, 2008 7:43 AM
OBAMA IS NOT A SOCIALIST. If he was, he would be endorsed by the socialist party. And if he was so liberal, why was he endorsed by many Republican senators?!
People on welfare aren't the only ones that are going to get financial help, people like my sisters do - hard working Americans who work 6 days a week, sometimes 9 or 10 hours a day, trying to pay off school loans and afford to live on their own.
AND GUESS WHAT? The only way to get the country out of its enormous debt is to get the money from somewhere. Suck it up and pay your goddamn taxes.
If not, we're going to be serfs for China pretty soon.

Where the fuck have you republican dimwits been in the lat 8 years? Did you not just witness your republican president single-handedly ruin the United States? And you still tried to elect yet another republican who would have probably died within a year of his term dealing with all the stress, only leaving that half-witted cunt rash Sarah Palin as your leader! Oh the humanity!
We need some sort of control on who is allowed to vote. Clearly, almost half the entire voting population should not be!

I'm grateful for message boards like this where you can really see what is going on in the 'mind' of some people.
To Justin Bennett, who challenged me to a fight lol, you forgot that there are about 15,000 Justin Bennett's in the U.S alone....or did you? Thanks for proving my point about keyboard warriors ace.
To the people that take offense when I criticize the South, exactly how stupid are you people? None of you work and even if you do, you don't do anything at it. The majority of Southerners are drunken, drug addicted, white trash who get so mad whenever people call them on it. You'd think with all the welfare you people draw, Obama would be your King. I truly feel for those living in the Southern states who look around and hate what they see, but cannot express it for fear of the southern mob mentality.
To the endless array of champions screaming about Obama being a 'nigger' or bringing Socialism to the U.S, there is no help for you. You're not even bright enough to realize that you don't make enough money to qualify for any tax increase. You're alarmist, selfish, ignorant, petty, childish, homophobic, racist, pretenders who strut around using your parents money to live your life.
Stop parroting your parents outrage and think for yourself. No one has hurt this country more than the GOP, who in 20 out of the last 28 years has given us two wars, the breakdown of our entire economic and social systems, record unemployment, mass homelessness, the most racially fractured version of our country since the Civil War and an overall encouragement to be uninformed, lazy and selfish.
Think about that, 20 out of the last 28 years has been under Republican rule. Bill Clinton fucking an intern with a cigar didn't hurt this country, The GOP, the men responsible for Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden, as well as several others I hope we never hear from, are responsible for plunging this country into war at the cost of not only human lives abroad, but lives of people that die a slow death here because their government looked the other way while mortgage companies and credit card companies baited and switched ordinary people.
The GOP is responsible for jobs leaving this country under the guise of 'good business sense'. Your food, your gas, your house payments have all gone up in price while the quality of life has gone down.
So, trust fund babies and other vapid, or just plain dangerously stupid, bitch and moan and proclaim the end of the world, because it is in a way.
It's the end of your kind being in any position of power to spread hatred and death, destruction and uninformed mayhem.
It's the end of you and the majority of this country rejoices.

Personally, I don't think either Obama (too inexperienced) or McCain (too rigid & inflexible) would make a good President, so I won't comment on that, but 2 things caught my attention:
1) Howard Stern did a segment where people who supported Obama were asked why and Stern's people gave McCain's policies as Obama's and the Obama supporters agreed with those policies.
2)95% of Black voters supported Obama. Considering that Republicans have always had a fair percentage of the Black voters (although less than the Democrats), the overwhelming percentage for Obama shows that Obama's race was more important than his politics, which is not a good enough reason to vote for him.
This simply proves that most of the American people (whites, blacks, latinos, etc.) are too stupid to be allowed to vote. No one cares about (or apparently knows about) the issues, the politics, or the capabalities of the candidates.

You guys are all SO stupid who fall for the obvious lies, called "swiftboating", that they lay out for you to eat up like little dogs. OBAMA IS NOT MUSLUM. No matter HOW many times McCain said it, guess what? It's still not true. People could have said "McCain rapes little boys", and if it was said enough, by "important" enough people, the same idiot would buy it that bought this crap. They KNOW what theyre saying are LIES, but it doesn't matter, because once an idiot hears something, they believe it no matter what. Same thing with the socialism thing. How is giving the average american a small tax break socialism? Guess what, if you knew anything about economics you should know that you can't just LOWER taxes. That's where national debt comes from. You have to pay it back somehow, so we gave the rich 5% a small tax increase instead of the breaks they've been getting. Its only fair, right?

As much as I love Howard Stern, he probably isn't the best source of accurate representation for any community.
I agree there are many, many voters out there that are completely ignorant and biased (how do you think Bush was elected twice??), but in the case of your claim that 95% of black people voted for Obama because he was black might have more to do with the realization that the GOP has NO black members prominently featured in their party and what that connotes?
No doubt, a lot of black people voted for Obama because he was black, just like a lot of white people didn't vote for him because he was black.
In the end, it was a collective of people tired of the GOP regime that put Obama in.

I spent the morning reading comments about Obama's win on loads of other websites, and was impressed and relieved at the level-headed reaction most Republicans had. I'm pretty shocked and appalled at some of the nonsensical backlash and retarded prophecies on this message board though. Claiming that your entire country is in the intial throes of ruin due to Obama is ignorant and paranoid (especially since your economy and international popularity haven't been doing so well since long before he came on the scene). Being furious that a black man has been 'allowed' into power just makes me think that you don't deserve to have a vote. And I think someone called him the Antichrist? When will these frigging bible-waving crazies actually pay frigging attention to the book they claim to love so much, and exercise a little tolerance.
To all rational Americans, well done on exercising your right to democratic process and playing your all-important part (whether you voted for Obama or not). To the rest of you....Jesus, I might as well just bash my head into my monitor until I'm unconscious.

So what I'm reading is supporters are glad he won because he is black???? Talk about reverse racism. What about the fact he has no leadership qualifications at all??? I'm sure the country won't go down the toilet with him in the White House (thank god for Congress and Senate) but I fail to believe people are so dumb to vote for change-the only change on his resume being that he is half black.

460. 1moreidiotintheworld - November 5, 2008 8:41 AM
I'm soooooooo tired of hearing "1st AFRICAN-AMERICAN PRESIDENT". He's 50% black and 50% white, right??? so he's just as white as black? It's a stupid point to dwell on, except that many people who voted for him did so ONLY because he was black in their eyes. I stood in line at the polls yesterday in my neighborhood, which is about 98% black and I'm one of the 2% white, looking around me seeing the party atmosphere of all the people who were going to vote for Obama. I thought that there were many people who had pinned their hopes for a better life on a candidate who shares 50% of their skin color and wondered how many of them would still have the same enthusiasm in voting for him if he had declared himself to be white instead of black? I find it interesting that Obama touted himself as black and not biracial - wouldn't he have gained a larger following, or does he himself think that we are still a racially polarized people. Like it or not people will find an identity between themselves and the candidate of their choice, be it race, skin color, gender, age, or what have you.......so you have people voting for him solely because he's black and people voting against him solely because he's black. Whatever moniker people tag him with, he's the President-elect of this country and as Americans we are all obligated to stand behind him as our leader - REGARDLESS of whether you like him or not. The majority of us stood behind Bush after 9-11 as a nation even though we had differing opinions about the war. Now the majority of us ridicule Bush as a nation because of the war - does this help our country's image in the eyes of the world?
I did many hours of research into the candidates and their platform and record and I chose not to vote for Obama, but I'm not going to piss and moan because he won - my life still goes on regardless of who is President..... I'll still have to struggle at a job to pay bills that I'm drowning in like most Americans out there..... Obama is not going to be the Savior of my problems - I am. Americans need to realize that the government doesn't exist to make your problems in life magically disappear...... The government may make life easier or harder for you, but you have to adapt to changes in life all the time wether they come from the government or some other source.
I personally don't think that there is much in the way of "Change" coming on the horizon, but if Obama surprises us by making change happen, then we are a better country for it. Just remember it takes our entire government to make "change" a reality, not just one man. The economy has it's ups and downs regardless of who is the President......... war happens regardless of who is President......... would Gore have been any better or worse for America??? Will Obama be better or worse for America??? Who the hell knows for sure??? One thing is for sure, 4 years from now there will be people bitching out Obama and there will be people praising Obama..... every President in history had their supporters and detractors, even Washington, Lincoln, and Kennedy - they just didn't have the massive media machine back then to whip up the masses into a polarized frenzy seething at one another, so CHILL OUT! Next week from now, the celebration will die down and we'll be back to our "normal" lives. i'm just happy that all the negative political ads are finally OVER!

463. Hard Working American - November 5, 2008 8:46 AM
For those who say "Obama is not a Socialist" Here is a definition of socialism;
"Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and creates an unequal society. All socialists advocate the creation of an egalitarian society, in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly, although there is considerable disagreement among socialists over how, and to what extent this could be achieved."
Um, isn't that what his whole "Spread the wealth" campaign was about. Hard working people shouldn't have an advantage over those who chose not to even try.
We're FUCKED!

470. Voice of Reason - November 5, 2008 8:50 AM
You know, all the Republicans come out saying "Way to go America!" and "You just screwed the country with your ignorance"...the only ones to blame are the Republicans themselves for not supporting McCain and his Questionable choice of a VP!
It seems to me that this country was so tired of the last 8 years under GW that they turned out in RECORD numbers to vote and elect someone who would turn it around. And it was a landslide victory...
Even Florida voted for Obama!!! Palm Beach and Miami-Dade Counties went to Obama...that shows you they even in Florida they were tired of what this country was doing.
Just remember one thing...this government is NOT run solely by the President. There are checks & balances (remember those from 5th grade???) in place to prevent one party from taking over or from destroying the infrastructure of our government. Like it or not, Obama is our President, but he is not going to single-handedly destroy this country, that is a job for ALL politicians.
I am just afraid for his children that it will be less than 6 months before an attempt is made on his life...sad, but true.

478. Your Dad - November 5, 2008 8:55 AM
I can just say that now that majority of Americans have voted a black Democrat as President and have effectively given control of the Congress to the Dems as well, it's time for all you pea brained morons from the right to realize that you are the in the monority for once. Be prepared for 4 years of your opinion not mattering. You know kind of like what black people had to go through for most of the past two centuries.
And as far as Obama fucking the country up, he can't fuck it up any more than your boy Dubwya has already done. A true measure success is to compare how things were when you started and things ended when you finished. Well let's see, we have 2 wars that have crippled our economy. Thus the cost of living has gained disproportionally to the rate of inflation. We have no budget surplus anymore, in fact we now have a trillion dollar deficit. And our standing in the world, which matters wether you like to admit it or not, is shit.
So in summary W. fucked our country up and you have the utter gall to insist that the majority of Americans who voted for change are idiots. Please go back to you Klan meetings, NRA rallies, Joe the Plummer lookalike contests and backwater hunting. Thank god you retards are religated mostly to the South where you can't inflict too much harm on those of us who actually have more than an 8th grade education.
And the 'liberal media' didn't sway my opinion on Bush, he did enough just based on his assclown policies and temperment towards those who ideas leaned either toward center or the left. He's by far the worst President we've ever been cursed with and I speak for the majority of Americans when I say it's going to be a glorious day when that shmuck leaves office.

Obesity is rampant in America because all you slobs would rather sit on your ass and bitch about things rather than getting up and doing something about it.
Remember, for every 35 pounds you are overweight, your cock loses an inch.
Obama is happy because he's a thin guy and did something about what he believes in.
Long live thin people.

Your party should look to you as an inspiration as someone that states their case without using profanity or programmed responses.
McCain represented, didn't lead, but it's all under the bridge now. Any in my opinion, America voted for Obama, as they would have for any Democrat running, because GW Bush destroyed this country

On and far as using 'higher taxes' and 'wealth redistribution' to try and scare people, please. Public services that benefit all Americans (police, fire fighters, etc) and the hope that there is universal health care coverage for all Americans will cost money. Nothing in life is free. The majority of Americans who voted are aware of this fact. And as far as wealth redistribution, Walmart doesn't pay you Jethos enough for you to have to worry about that. It's amazing to me that people who make 25-40K a year living in a trailer would complain about a guy that wants to give you a tax cut. But then again maybe that's why you live in a trailer to begin with.

I think the "CHANGE" he talks about is nothing but proving to the world that a African American can paint the white house black! I'm NOT RACIST never have, never will... but I truly feel this election has been won by OBAMA by the first day of campaign.. CNN has kept me so angry by showing how elated people are for his win but yet they have shown one WHITE family on screen doing their praises for him... It's like a day of sympathy for all African Americans!! It's all about them... I guess they finally think they were owed something... Countin the days till 2012

Spot on 'Your Dad'
The Northeast, you know, the area of the country that actually makes the money, had no problem voting for Obama.
The Southern states and by extension, the farm states, were the ones that voted McCain, despite leading the country in most welfare recipients, disability recipients and poor.
It's clear that the people that make the big money in this country want to help, even at their own expense. It is the collection of nimrods that hear 'God' and 'Country' and become blinded.
There is nothing more God like that wanting to help your fellow man and of all the places not to understand that, the 'Bible Belt' doesn't get that.

Press "3" to help pay for a 13-year old to have an abortion, Press "4" for directions to the nearest government-ran hospital, or stay on the line and someone will be with you shortly to assist you in receiving assorted other handouts as paid for by the working class of our great Socialist nation."

It's over guys....quit arguing about it. I'm sick and tired of all the whining and bitching from both sides. It's about time this country TRIED to act as a country rather than the political divisiveness we've lived with for the last 20 years. Never since the Civil War has this country been so divided. It's time to move forward, whether you're a Democrat, a Republican, or neither.
Personally, I don't like the policies of the Democratic Party. I don't think the Federal government should have their hand in my daily life. I believe in greater state rights. I believe in greater personal freedoms. While I support charity, I don't agree with entitlements. In any case, Obama will now be my President, the Dems will have control of Congress, and I will do my part to support their efforts. Hopefully, they won't repeat their past record.
498. Frank - November 5, 2008 9:18 AM
It's really sad to see so many White people thrilled that a black guy is president. You won't find this sort of sickness in any other race. The blacks will always vote for the black guy, the hispanics are growing in number and eventually only hispanic presidents will be electable. (so the blacks should enjoy this moment while they can, because the latinos won't ever allow a negro to be elected once they can get one of their own on the ticket)
Meanwhile, Whites will have lost their country and way of life, and American will be some sort of third world sewer. But hey, at least you can say you aren't race-iss.

-higher natural gas rates
Take that out of your tax cut and tell me how well the middle class will be doing.

The fact is most of the people on welfare are Republican, born to the clans in the South that had them to get more welfare money. No area of the country takes more government aid than the southern region, that's not me saying it, that's the the annual United States resources allocation report that comes out every year saying it.

I hope they enjoy this moment, because it'll never happen again, and 4 years from now they'll still be living in the projects and be the same drug-addicted, unemployed, useless peices of shit that they always have been....

You people that compare Obama to Hitler and Castro are the biggest idiots I have ever seen or heard. The rest of you that claim socialism are the second biggest idiots I have seen or heard. Do you even fucking know what socialism is? How the f do the rest of you compare a genocidal maniac leading a facist country to Barack Obama? You knee-jerk alarmists who are just pissed because you cant get past your outdated racist fear mongering are just ridiculous. Goodbye America? What an idiotic statement. Are you just made Dubya couldnt ruing America before the election. You retards need to read and get your collective heads out of your asses. I have never seen such idiocy.

The race thing: So over that. He's half white! He was raised by white people! Goodness... I never saw him in any ghetto houses at a dining table talking about issues with some black family while he was wearing his neutral gang colors and his cap on backwards. No, he's a white guy with dark skin.
Bush kept this country safe for 7 years. Any more terrorist attacks since 9/11 on our soil? Not that I can recall. That's pretty damn good for someone who can't say nuclear right.
Clinton didn't start any wars? What are you smoking? Bosnia. Still going. Thanks Billy boy!

So since my mother is white and my dad is black that makes me a full fledge African American? Will this ridiculous mindset ever end? When will we see past the color of someone’s skin and when will we get past sticking labels on everyone?

B) I just hope that people in Brooklyn and Watts and wherever else - stand in line for 4 hours in 4 or 8 yrs to vote for 2 white guys. Otherwise, this whole thing was a beauty contest.

Maybe the media will actually interview and talk to intelligent black people instead of just the ones who reinforce negative stereotypes now. (PLEASE GOD PLEASE GOD PLEASE GOD!!!)
(crowd of 4000 people, various politicians, community leaders etc... and they always interview Al Sharpton and the some lady who's grammar skills are at a second grade level)
If you were an alien and you learned everything about black and white people from the TV you'd think that black people are as inferior as all the worst racist groups make them out to be.

533. Ellie - November 5, 2008 9:50 AM
Black people no longer have an excuse, thanks to this man. The gravy train has stopped. The white man is no longer "keepin' 'em down!" No more oppression talk. No more "my brother from another mother was a slave, yada, yada, yada." They officially HAVE RUN OUT OF EXCUSES. To make something of themselves. To pay child support for their umpteen kids they made while making drug deals. To get educated. It's finally OVER, thank God.
But as a military wife of a 22-year servicemember, I find it fascinating - and terrifying - that a 90-year-old grandmother can get patted down going thru airport security for fear of who she might be, yet a black man with ABSOLUTELY NO EXPERIENCE DEFENDING THIS NATION WHATSOEVER can get ELECTED AS PRESIDENT OF THIS NATION all while maintaining friendships with people/groups such as Hugo Chavez, Hezbollah, Wright, Flaeger, Rezko, and my personal favorite, William Ayers.
As a sidenote: William Ayers blew up my husband's office - the Pentagon.
And we just elected is best pal Barack Obama/Osama Hussein to lead our nation.
I think you all might be shocked to learn in the coming days ...
We just gave power to a Muslim masquerading as a simple black man. We'll make sure we put away the guns you so desperately fought against when the terrorists begin showing up in our neighborhoods. Because that's when - in true Liberal fashion - you'll all be screaming at the top of your lungs ... "Where's the military to protect me? And where's God?"
I'll tell you. You took to the guns away and you told God he wasn't welcome. To which I reply, "Sorry about your luck."

I know what socialism is. It's Obama's views. Here is the definition I posted before.
"Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and creates an unequal society. All socialists advocate the creation of an egalitarian society, in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly, although there is considerable disagreement among socialists over how, and to what extent this could be achieved."
I'm so sick of hearing the word "Fair" This country was founded on the fact that Hard working people wanted to keep their money, not have to get taxed for EVERYTHING. Everyone bought into the "tax cuts for the middle class" But never think farther than their own wallets. Wait for the increase of fuel, electricity, oil, capital gains taxes (which control the stock market). Be prepared.
536. Lugh - November 5, 2008 9:54 AM
Well congrats to your guy and everyone who voted for him. This is what you voted for:
-higher taxes
-"skyrocketing" energy costs (his words, not mine)
-bankrupting the coal industry
-major cuts to the military
-redistribution of wealth
-$900 billion in new spending
-negotiations with sponsors of terrorism
I'm not going to debate any of these issues with you. Just remember, this is what you voted for. So when your taxes go way the hell up, the recession deepens, unemployment goes through the roof, your electric bill triples, your money is taken and given to people who don't pay any taxes, and there's a major terrorist attack, don't come crying to me.
537. Jhawk - November 5, 2008 9:55 AM
to all you people calling those of us who disapprove of obama racist...those who voted for obama simply because he is half-black are racist as well. being racist is judging someone based on their ethnicity, for the good or the bad, and that's exactly what they've done. i don't disapprove of him because he is black. in fact if the black man being elected were actually a GOOD man i would be ecstatic as well. but he is an idiot in many ways. so i'm not. i'm kind of disgusted at all the things i've read, in fact.
this country has been working for years to get people to stop being blinded by race. congratulations to all who voted for obama just because he's black! you've undone all that work. by not doing your research and treating this election like a freakin beauty pageant, thanks a heap. now all of us who actually maybe read, watch the debates, etc, are screwed.
538. Jeff - November 5, 2008 9:58 AM
To anyone who calls obama a socialist as a negative thing i laugh, Do you know what your talking about, the socialist party is the perfect thing for equal rights and humanity and would lead to a much better economy. They want everything to be equal. EVERY JOB to be unioned, i work for a union and i feel bad for anyone who doesn't have a union. You fucking moron republicans will never get in office again after the bush bullshit, your party is the kingdom of lies and i'm glad its over as a independent myself, i will never vote republican ever.
Fuck rich people, and fuck you if daddy or mommys money got you a good job that other people had to work to obtain, i want that shit to be over. Down with Nepotism, i support socialism!!!!!!

But instead of going on welfare, he finished college and became a manager of some insulation company. Unhappy, he got his pilots license and over 15 years WORKED his way to captian at American Airlines. Now he is going to suffer the consequences of the Obama Tax increase. He almost lost his job after 9/11 when the airline industry went down the drain. Thanks to Pres. Bush this country is safe and his job is secure now. But Obama is going to ruin it.

We do on the other hand have great health care and practically free education for everyone.
Now if you dumb fucks actually did some research instead of falling for all this republican bullshit, you wouldn't be acting like socialism is communism. All that aside, Obama isn't a socialist anyways....Nobody was callin him a socialist til McCain and Palin told you to ( like 1 or 2 months ago right?)

Sure, you were probably used to a president who can't figure out the sum of 1+1 (that is Bush by the way) but PLEASE!!! At least Obama can speak! You guys are freakin' unbelievable.

570. Rebecca - November 5, 2008 10:37 AM
I am a registered Independent. I voted for McCain. There were more reasons not to vote for Obama than there were to vote for him. And because he's black is not a valid reason to vote for or against him. I only wish most of American could see that, but they wouldn't. Not that they couldn't, but they seriously wouldn't see it. The way he wants to change America is not what America needs. He will ruin this country. And blame Bush all you want, but Bush couldn't do anything without congress and senate. They were the ones who gave him the ok to do something. Also Congress has a worse approval rating than Bush.
On another note... I really think Obama was born in Kenya. Why else would the Kenyans be celebrating because "a true Kenyan is now President of the Unites States." Do some research on that. Why else would everything relating to his birth be sealed?
571. To 555 - November 5, 2008 10:37 AM
Gee, I dunno.
If I were a terrorist and I wanted to destroy the American way of life, I wouldn't use planes and bombs to kill folks, that's too risky, you might get caught, or killed, or both. Real terrorists get results. And then they lay the blame where it can't be found.
Here's what I would do: I'd foreclose on millions of homes and kick people out of their houses and destroy their primary retirement nest egg in one fell swoop. I'd allow corporations to raid pension funds and the US Treasury. I'd devalue the dollar so the price of everything would go up. I would outsource their jobs so they couldn't find work. I would move manufacturing to foreign countries. I would make education unaffordable. I would make healthcare next to impossible to obtain and let the insurance companies ride roughshod over the populace. I would listen to their telephone calls, monitor their emails and use that information to really stick it to them. Then, I'd give myself a huge tax cut, sit back
in the lap of luxury and watch them fight over the crumbs.
But you know what? Thank God we live in the United States of America, because in these United States the people who represent us would never, ever let terrorists get away with that.
Say G'bye, George.

This can't be any worse than the past 8 years with a retard in office!
Where was Bush during McCain's campaign? Keeping his retard mouth shut!
But what did the Republicans do? They added another retard to the ticket: Palin. You crazy Republicans must feel the "special needs" people deserve a shot at the Presidency more than a black man.
Yes he is black, especially by "old school" standards.
This is a HUGE and ultimate FUCK YOU to every religious nut job and redneck racist in America. My generation, the 18-34's, generally don't give a shit about color and this proves it. Now we just need to wait for all you hateful motherfuckers to die off and the rest of the world will be a much more peaceful place.
There must be a lot of rich people that post here. Last time I checked the rich are an extremely small minority in charge of 90% of the wealth in this country.
The biggest gap between the rich and middle class ever.
If this so-called "trickle down" effect really works, then why is the economy such shit? We all know Bush gave his rich buddies a huge tax cut and what has it gotten us? A recession.
I am one, among many college grads, that wasn't born in a rich family. I was born in poverty, did what I am supposed to do by completing college and now there are no jobs available for me. I have no shot in hell in ever becoming rich, the "American Dream," now it looks as if I have no shot in hell in ever joining the middle class.
I can't wait to see Bush get kicked the fuck out of the White House! Thanks for 8 years that left us in ruin!

Your hateful views and rhetoric is QUICKLY becoming the minority, and an overwhelming majority of Americans want to take a step forward rather than stand still and wait to see what happens.
Being a service member I have great respect for John McCain, and he made a graceful and honorable concession. Gob bless hero's like him. Like he's always said through the campaign; "The American people will decide"...and they decided in a big way last night.

United States of America is a better place than these people will ever allow it to be. Their backward thinking about religion, politics and civics is unbelivable.

588. vote for change? - November 5, 2008 10:49 AM
I am an educated college student and I honestly do not understand what the people in this country are thinking. Obama's slogan vote for change, mindlessly chanted by thousands who have no understanding of Obama's policies shows the ineptitude of the American people to understand the great travesties likely to happen in the next four years.
Until last night I was pre-med and now I no longer want to become a doctor because I will never be able to pa off my loans for medical school and enjoy life with the money I would have worked so hard for because I wouldn't be making any money, and any money i would manage to make would be over taxed. So now I'm thinking of going on welfare and just relaxing while the country spirales down, o wait no thats not me, thats millions of lazy ass americans who have no incentive to work when the government cradles them as if their infants. And say goodbye to specialists and surgeons because one would be and idiot to join and specific health field if Obama's heath plans are carried out.
Obama is an inexperienced idealist who want to alter our government in an unprecedented matter. The greatest changes in expanding federal power took place under FDR and he was president for 12 years and through the worst economic and foreign affairs. Obama's plans will supercede the radical legislation of FDR and will change the government forever and for those of you happy aout his fact are disregarding the ideals on which America was founded. It is un-American to have a big government that over regulates every aspect of life. The government is only supposed to guarantee "life liberty and property" as distantly as possible becuase as Americans it is our duty to always have a fear of the the governement getting too big and ladies and gentleman that is exactly what those of you who voted for Obama have done. Good luck to everyone, I hope we make out of this disaster alright.

Say hello to higher property taxes, giving about 26% of your home sale over to the government, and say good bye to the middle class. All because of trying to make life better for illegal immigrants and for people who never want to stop working at fast food chains. Why strive for an education to get a better job and have a better life for your family if it is all going to be taken away for lazy people. Kind of sucks. I don't care if people want to stay working at minimum wage jobs, but don't whine because you can't afford anything. Hey why don't they go college and I don't know get a higher paying job. Yeah all these celebrities love Obama and don't mind his money giving ideas, but it's because they can afford it at their ridiculous salary.

I think the only thing people care about is the fact that he is the first "black" president. I don't think anyone that voted for him took the time necessary to evaluate his political views and things that he wants to do, like basically what he wants to do will put many many small business owners OUT of business. Socialist healthcare will not give the doctors and healthcare professionals incentive to give the best to their patients, and why work on technology when there is no incentive for that either? Sad day........ He was not even born black either if you read up on where he was born and his parents ethnicity

Damn, guys, just reading all of the comments on here makes me sick. Listen to yourselves! You're spouting hate to our President Elect, current President, Canadians, Americans, Socialists, Christians, African-Americans, Southerners, home owners, business owners, parents, children... EACH OTHER.
You're all just hating on each other. And it makes me sick.
I consider myself to be quite intelligent and an independent thinker. I research my decisions thoroughly before making them, and I take into account several sources when researching. I'm not wealthy, and I'm not on welfare. I'm a college-educated, Caucasian female, like lots of other people in this country. I work, I own my car, I rent an apartment, I care about the environment. My dad's a Republican, my mom's a Democrat, and I'm registered as an Independent.
I tell you this in the hope that it will help you relate to me, and in the hope that in doing so, you know I'm not here to spout hate or lies.
This country, which has suffered under the last 8 years of President Bush's rule, will slowly start to change. Barack Obama will lead us there. And I sincerely hope for the betterment of ALL OF US that those of you calling names and spreading hate will just stop and consider this when things are looking up. Just think about how you acted when you heard the news, the spiteful things you said.
John McCain conceded gracefully. Why can't you?

Reagan winning 49 states over Mondale's 1 was a Landslide.
Obamma winning over McCain because of rampant voter fraud in Ohio, PA, Florida, Colorado, Indiana, Nevada, and Virginia just shows how fucking disgusting Liberals are and to the depths that they will crawl to stay in power.
Everyone who voted has been disenfranchised, even if you voted (only once) for Obamma. Americans should be disgusted with what transpired.
The media is as much to blame as anyone. Calling states with <1% of precints reported. Fuck, they called Pennsylvania when there were less than 1000 votes even counted. This discourages everyone in the western time zones not to vote, and the media knows this.....truly disgusting.
615. lj9283 - November 5, 2008 11:12 AM
The stupidity and hatred spewed by the idiots in reaction to Mr. Obama's election is a very sad statement about how the American education system has failed.
Hatred and fear are the tools of the ignorant, and we deserve better than to be a nation of ignorant fools.
I look forward to the prosperity that an Obama Presidency should bring, and I am proud of what Mr. McCain tried to accomplish.
Our friend who has decided not to go to medical school now that Mr. Obama has been elected might want to look at partnering up with "Joe the Plumber" and buy a phantom plumbing business. (You are going to medical school like "Joe" was a plumber.)
It was the Republican Party that brought down McCain. They threw the man under the bus.
When Mr. McCain suspended his campaign to return to Washington to deal with the economic crisis, and the negotiated deal began to fall apart, the House Republicans did nothing short of telling the world that Mr. McCain was not a leader they would follow, as they thew their self centered temper tantrum.
They publicly humiliated their candidate, and in doing so denigrated his leadership qualities which showed in the results last night.

Don't be a part of the problem that has made the US so divided. Either of these candidates was a stepup from Bush (at least Bush 2000-2004....2004-2008 seemed to learn alot from early gaffes). Everyone needs to stop compartmentalizing each other and start learning to understand one another as our problems are not Red or Blue...they are OUR Problems.
We shall see......Obama's speech was excellent (as was McCain's concession).....I am hopeful he is the uniter that he seems to be.....the People of the US want change....it's the old powers in Washington DC that could prove to be more difficult.
Anyway.....watching the democratic process yesterday ......you can't help but be proud to be an American. And its nice to have an election actually decided on election day for a change.

Bush and McCain voted to extend the Patriot Act. Obama voted for it, too.

As for the national press, the Associated Press was the most balanced wire service in its payments ($661,000 to Obama to $408,000 to McCain), followed by Bloomberg ($310,000 to $172,000) and Reuters ($414,000 to $218,000).
Among television networks, CBS News was by far the most skewed in its payments ($1.2 million to $222,000), followed by ABC News ($779,000 to $394,000), CNN ($952,000 to $554,000), NBC ($1.3 million to $771,000) and Fox ($496,000 to $313,000).
USA Today had the widest Obama-spending gulf among top newspapers ($56,000 to cover Obama; $17,000 for McCain), followed by The Washington Post ($325,000 to $145,000), The New York Times ($422,000 to $196,000), The Los Angeles Times ($184,000 to $119,000) and The Wall Street Journal ($205,000 to $143,000).
Other outlets showed similar splits. Newsweek spent $318,000 covering Obama compared with $186,000 covering McCain; Time was at $145,000 to $66,000, and Politico was at $167,000 to $33,000.

Fact Checker, hah! It was a landslide...
Apparently it's electoral votes that gets you to the white house, and while the voting figures show Obama only got about 6 million more votes than McCain the fact remains that he got more than DOUBLE the electoral votes that McCain got and McCain was more than 100 short of the required 270 ...that's a landslide no matter how you want to excuse the republican loss or quote statistics out of context.
The only way those total votes stats would be in context is if the US Election System was 1:1, then it'd be 55% Obama, 45% McCain which isn't a landslide at all, but your system doesn't do that. So get back into your armchair for another 4 years and watch a bit of progress instead of 'Guns Over Politics' ;)
And before all the republicans try to chew me out of it, I didn't vote because I'm not from the US, just a casual observer from europe =P

Reading racial comments on here; it's obvious how many dumb souls there are in your country that have obviously been mollested by an obese even dumber relative. That's what the world see's unfortunately and it's not the case. Do something about it. Obama is the right choice.

I wish I could say you will end up at the acceptance stage but you won't. You will be stuck in the depression stage for the next 4 years........all i have to say is.....

I'm not an American, I didn't vote, I thought McCain or Obama would have made equally good presidents...
It's only after hearing and reading some the most vile, hateful, blatantly racist statements about Barak Obama that I decided how truly GLAD I am that he won. I just hope America will protect him from the crazies, the biggots and ignorant who can't see beyond the color of his skin or his mixed background.
653. OC Dee - November 5, 2008 12:03 PM

Slick Rick sez:
Obama will have a tough task rebuilding the mess the last 8 years created. But no candidate in my lifetime has ever espoused such a willingness to work together as a Country. He made some strong assertions last night in his acceptance speech, and regardless of how I feel about politicians in general, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt more than any other president I have ever elected or candidate I supported.
I still love America and will refuse to leave regardless who our president is now or in the future.

I am getting tired of people from other nations commending us on a 'good job' for electing Obama. I got one thing to say to all of you "FUCK OFF". It doesn't matter who is elected president we end up supporting all your asses anyways. Maybe if once the U.S. was supported by other nations we'd already be out of this financial mess that the fucking conservative republicans got us into. We voted Obama in not to appease all you other mooching ass nations, but hopefully for once help ourselves.

Throughout his campaign, Barack Obama painted John McCain’s policies as an extension of the failed Bush policies of the past eight years. Now that Mr. Obama has been elected, will we finally see change? Let’s see.
Bush and John McCain voted to give $750 billion in taxpayer funds to fat cats on Wall Street. So did Obama.
Bush and McCain believe the US should intervene militarily in Pakistan and Iran. So does Obama.
Bush and McCain voted to extend the Patriot Act, which gives the president the power to wiretap, read your emails, and throw anybody in jail as an enemy combatant. But Obama voted for it, too.
Bush's deficit spending ran up huge debt during his presidency. McCain’s spending and tax-cut proposals would add hundreds of billions to the federal deficit, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. So would Obama’s.
John McCain supports governmental limits on carbon emissions via a cap-and-trade system. So does Barack Obama.
This is “change we can believe in”?

I of course want to make more and I am tryin and working my way up and I like to think that when I get there the fucking goverment will let me benifit from my work and not the people who can't or won't take care of thhemselves. Seriously clinton raised the fuck out of the upper tax braket W went in the middle of it but back to 40% now and where will it stop? 50% 70% 90% ? then when you die they want all they can get then too. There is nothing unfair about a flat tax (asuming you know how percentages work)

Glad my taxes will go to pay for illegal immigrants health care. The same illegals that buy stolen identities and fuck up real citizen's lives and credit forever.
Just what in the hell is wrong with you Liberal douche bags anyways?
Yes lets deplete our military so that we can't defend ourselves or our allies. Yes giving in to the path of least resistance is so much better than fighting for what is right in the world.

they got mad at me and called me a racist. when they was the first one bring up the race card in the first place. these people are still stuck seeing race. before anything else.
black people will still complain. he is not magical, he is not gonna make poor rich, that is obvious cause he wants to tax the shit of the rich. he will make rich poor before that happens.

680. chainsaw - November 5, 2008 12:48 PM
This election came down to the lesser of two evils for me. Neither candidate inspired me, and neither seem like they can actually lead this country forward and not stay bogged down in pointing fingers and living in the past.
On the surface, I am glad that a non-white person got elected to the presidency for a change despite the fact that most people that did vote for Obama did so because he's black, not that he's the best man/woman for the job. I don't give a shit if some empty-headed moron on the news thinks I'm a racist for saying that, in fact I don't give a shit what anyone thinks of how I think. I fought for the right to think how I wish.
He'll be a one-term president, and I'd like to think that the string of policies he'll get ram-rodded into law thanks to a complicit Congress will make the current mess our country is in even worse...which will force the leaders (from both parties) to step up.
Barack Obama is the new Jimmy Carter....another failure that liberals hoist on their shoulders as a great leader, but in reality they're nothing more than hollow suits.

If we don't learn to listen to the other side and understand each others' reasoning, how can we possibly expect the country to change in any lasting and positive way?

Your post implies that Canadians are ignorant too and wouldn't support Obama...please check your facts before making asinine assumptions...in recent polls here almost 70% of Canadians responded that they would've chosen Obama over McCain...so again, please don't send us your unwanted hate-filled people...put them on their own island somewhere so that they can rule themselves...let's see how well they do on their own.

I hope all the Bush haters hold Obama to the same exacting standard, but I doubt it. Just like with the election, the Mainstream Media will go easy on him and his defenders will decry racism the minute someone criticizes him or his policies. If Obama is a pragmatist, like Clinton, then he will be forced to rule Center/Left, because he will desire re-election above all things. If he is an idealist, much like the radical company he keeps, then we are in trouble. If he keeps his promises to tax those making what in the final days of the election was $92,000.00 and above, while mandating insurance and nationalizing healthcare, we will all have the pleasure of enjoying a second Great Depression. One final prediction - having nothing to do with his Muslim roots, but more to do with his expressed desire to repeal the Patriot Act and close Guantanamo Bay, I expect another terrorist attack on this country within 6 months of his inauguration. The wiretaps contained in the Patriot Act and the waterboarding of detainees have prevented several planned strikes against us. Obama will end that.
687. me - November 5, 2008 12:54 PM
Dear Democrats-
Check out the market today on the news of this new regime focused on a tax and spend economics and the pending $500 Billion "stimulus package". While you want Obama to be your savior and and push a New New Deal - do your research. A leading UCLA study recently showed that FDR's New Deal actually extended the Great Depression by as many as 7 years. Bear in mind the LAST President to raise taxes during a recession was Herbert Hoover, the man largely responsible for getting American INTO the Great Depression.
Just sayin... the markets don't lie. Trading futures are severely down today and the market is tanking as I type. The market is responding directly to trends they see forthcoming. Not to mention the fact that oil prices jumped UP again yesterday based on the news of an Obama win - because they know that he won't drill and alternative fuels take 20 years to develop so you just gave big oil (your sworn enemy) a HUGE shot in the arm.
But at least he can play hoops and is really dreamy. Idiots.
Love,

The Bush/Cheney reign of terror on democracy did it's best to encourage fascism, and totalitarianism wrapped in a blanket called patriotism, and apparently the level of success was quite reasonable, as shown though these comments.

- He promised everything under the sun and it WON'T happen - mark my words.
- He wants us all to share... yet he won't even help out his own family that is living her illegally in the slums.
- Biden donated a huge $300 to charity last year.
**For those of you who voted for Obama... you make more money than I do so cut me a check for $1,000. Oh, you don't want to? Practice what you preach and what you voted for you loser hypocrites.

my guess is that the majority of racist comments are coming from a mere handful of people who are over-posting with different handles because they're bored, malicious, and uneducated.
the truth is, the majority of people on the entire PLANET are happy that Obama was elected. end of story.
the difference between the Obama camp and McCain's camp was striking. McCain's supporters consisted almost entirely of old, overweight white folks with bad attitudes and negative mindsets, you could feel the aggressiveness and meanspiritedness coming from the crowd. Obama's supporters were a vibrant collection of folks of all ages, from all backgrounds, who all seemed positive and intelligent and happy, and willing to pitch in and work towards change rather than expecting politicians to do their dirty work for them.
today is a happy day for the USA and for the entire world.

Apparently lying about using company profits for umbrella stands and birthday parties isn't lying.
The market is comprised of individual companies and a whole lot of those companies are lying through their collective teeth, so could you tell me again HOW the markets don't lie?

we never really "freed" the slaves. They were free, technically, but we still had to cloth them and feed them and pay for their shelter and healthcare and pay for all their bastard children, and pay for their inevitable incarcerations. We should've never given them the right to vote. That's like giving your dog the right to vote, because blacks are just useless domestic animals that need white people to take care of them.

If I hear one more person whine about tax cuts, I'm going to smack a bitch. Unless you make enough money for it not to matter (I.E. more money than over half the population makes), you won't see any change in your goddamn taxes. Yes, McCain has more experience, but has he used it to positively influence politicians or change the world for the better? No. And if he's been in "a place of high power for soooo long", then he would have done something already. Besides, McCain would die a year into his presidency and then you racist, sexist, white-trash, cousin-fucking, bible licking, jesus-blowing morons would all have brain aneurisms because a WOMAN would be running the country.
All that aside, McCain/Palin elected would be setting up the biggest violation of Church and State I've ever seen. Prop 8 already set us back 70 years equality-wise, imagine electing someone who believes if you get raped you shouldn't be able to have an abortion because being raped was your responsibility to begin with.

701 - I was commenting on the market and it's futures. Read a book instead of listening to radical college radio, or whatever liberal babble you and your pothead buddies listen to while not working. Or at the VERY least google how the stock market works. I assume you paid the power bill this month? Or are you still in our parent's basement? Regardless, individual companies do not control the collective interests of Wall Street and certainly not that of foreign markets who are also seeing economic strife across the board. I never said that there weren't unscrupulous companies whose stock is suspect. Hell, that's what the Clinton economy was BASED on! Without using too many big words, I will again say that the FUTURES market is tanking which is solely based on predictions about the economy. It is Wall Street's, and the other world markets, best guess as to where an economy WILL GO based on a number of parameters, including political direction. It isn't a coincidence that Obama was elected and the futures market tanked based on where Wall Street thinks American will go in the next few quarters.
As to my other point - you clearly had nothing to say. But you and your Big Oil hating friends who elected Obama just ensured that Big Oil will continue to succeed beyond measure because ... well, we're not going to be drilling. So, there will be ZERO competition for a LONG time for petroleum. Gas prices will rise (as they did yesterday for the first time in 40 some-odd days) because now oil is the only game in town with no threat of competition. Further, Obama will tax these oil companies because they are "big and evil" and those companies will then raise their prices yet again because, well, they aren't going to pay for that tax increase - they'll make sure YOU do, at the pump. Retard.

George Bush, the greatest socialist President the US has ever had. No other President could have socialised the entire worlds banking system in his term. The US under the watch of the Republicans has turned into a joke, a socialist joke too. Now you are complaining because of Obama? You are now more socialist than ever before in the history of the country, no Democrat had anything to do with that, just good ole Bushy.
Congrats on saying one thing and doing another, good old Republican hypocrisy!

We're lucky to have Canada as our neighbour. They're the reason we're not attacked when we travel anywhere outside the U.S. I'm embarassed putting a maple leaf on my luggage, but it's saved me a few times. Hopefully Obama saves our countries image, he's already helping it. I know that the racism is just un-educated, un-intelligent nobody's in our good country, but still annoying to say the least. For those of you stupid souls thinking, why would I leave the states anyways? That's exactly the answer the rest of the world wants. Obama..thank God you won.

723. littlelady - November 5, 2008 1:35 PM
Im from England and let me tell you, Obama is going to change the way the world looks at America forever (and for the better). This is a giant leap in the right direction to shaping a better future for generations to come. The failed policies of the Bush Administration have finally come to an end and I hope every American embraces this change regardless of whether they are black or white, male or female, gay or straight, democrat or republican. An important day for all those who want equality, your little British friends have our fingers crossed for you during he hard times ahead!
PS. For those not willing to welcome the changes, the world is moving on without you. I urge you to judge Obama on the strength of his policies and character, and not on the colour of his skin. And to those of you claiming you'll quit your job and fire your employees, I ask you take a minute to think of all the lives you will be affecting, both directly today and indirectly tomorrow by making such ridiculous and selfish decisions. I wish I was American so I could have played a part in this historic and beautiful day, so please do the same and do all that is in your power to build a better world for our children. If he does a shitty job, then bash him all you want, but at least give him the 4 years he has rightfully won (by a frigging landslide!) to prove to you what kind of President he can be.

Gee Me, you are such an illuminating light in such a dark world, how would we ever get along without your wit and wisdom? The FUTURES market is tanking because the corrupt elements in the market (ie: the companies) fear the coming regulation. Just like the kiddies craning their necks to see if Mom or Dad is coming while they filch cookies out of the cookie jar with their greedy little claws. It's little bastards like you who brought us to where we are today, you capitalist heroes of deregulation and mindless desire for wealth, you are the cancer that needs to be removed from the market - go blame Clinton on some internet that cares. Go whine with Limbaugh and Coulter, and Kudlow, and Malkin. Then go fuck yourself.
731. READ THIS - November 5, 2008 1:48 PM
You republicans amaze me. You claim you want the self-made man and yet you voted for Bush -Iwasbornrichandonlygot_towhereIamfromnepotism - TWICE. Obama comes along, someone who is actually intelligent and self-made, and what do you do? You cry that he's going to ruin our country. You are deluded and hypocritical. Btw, Bush already ruined our country. Take a look at the billions spent on the "terror war", the one which hasn't caught Osama (remember him?), and the state of our economy. How many people have lost their homes already? Average joes (like yourselves obviously) who were too stupid to realize that their mortgages/interest rates were too much for their income. These people weren't bad, just stupid. And the government did nothing to prevent this disaster which then ballooned into a global economic crisis.
Also, you claim that you want "limited government" and yet you let the Patriot Act slide. Wtf is wrong with you?! Are you blind or just dumb?
Republicans like Bush and McCain aren't out there working for "Joe the Plumber", they're working for their rich friends. Look at Bush's family fortune and McCain's wife's. They are NOT average "joes". They belong to the the wealthy class and they have NOTHING in common with you nor your lifestyle. And yet you claim they understand you. Sure they do. They understand whenever they get on their private jets or go to their mansions. Wake the fuck up. They have more in common with Paris Hilton than with you.
And no, Obama is not going to tax you to death. He's going to tax the rich and richer. Read before you speak. And, he's not a socialist. Taxing those who can afford to be taxed does not a socialist make. It's actually called something else: common sense.
When are you gonna do something that makes sense?
Oh, and socialism and communism are two different things. Google it.
732. The Right One - November 5, 2008 1:50 PM
Why hasn't anyone mentioned that that fucking scurvy little liberal assclown Al Franken lost his bid in the senate in fricken' Minnesota last night. How great was that.
Don't worry everyone, Obumma has only 2 years, maybe less in the white house. He'll either resign as the biggest failure in US Presidential History, or be impeached by the new Republican House & Senate after the 2010 takeover, or hopefully somebody will just kill him.
In the meantime, just hang on, it's gonna be tough as we plunge into a depression, but help is just around the corner. True, we'll have to wait 4 years to actually do anything constructive for the economy, but at least we have enough senate seats to not allow socialists to overthrow the government.

I didn't vote for Obama, not because he's black, but because I don't agree with his politics.
However, he won. America has spoken. It's time to move forward. UNITED States, guys...not red and blue states.

Lenin would be rolling in his grave to hear you talk of democrats as socialists you r-tards. Its really scary to be reading this to realise what a polarised country america is - you talk about religious extremists being dangerous and point at muslims but Christian extremists are just as dangerous and parts of the repulican right are looking more and more extreme in their beliefs.

Eric, your mastery of the English language and debate is almost as stunning as your ignorance. Pick up a history book and look what Deregulation has done to stimulate the world economy. The reason you can afford to fly somewhere for $300 is because of Deregulation. Open markets and competition drive prices down while forcing quality to go up! Competition leads companies to increase their quality to retain customers while trying to attract new ones with more affordable prices. It's how the world works. Just like ... let's say the weed you smoke was $10 cheaper a bag down the street, naturally you would buy THAT WEED instead of paying $10 more for the same stuff. The airline industry is the perfect example of this. You're exactly right, regulation is making the markets tank. You're also proving my point. The economy is AFRAID OF BIG GOVERNMENT, as it should be. The Constitution isn't set up for this kind of 3rd-party oversight. This country was never structured to support a massive central government. You think this is about greed? You're as short-sided as you are ignorant. When Americans MAKE money then America HAS more money, sure for individuals, but also for charities, taxes, public works, expansion programs, alternate industry options, research and development, the list goes on and on ...
And to all our European friends logging on - listen, you're all (most of you) well meaning individuals but there is a reason why America is still the most sought-after destination for immigrants from across the globe. And honestly, there is a reason why jokes exist about how bad British teeth are.... socialized medicine does NOT WORK. And for you Americans who think you're so radical for thinking it will - just ask Hawaii. They actually started a form of Govt health care this year - and the entire thing collapsed and was shut down within 7 months.
Big government has always proven to be ineffective. When you're fat, you're slow.

Barack Obama, Virginia, 2008
I've no love for John McCain, but cheering for a president-elect that routinely plagiarizes Communist dictators (who also promised foolish and desperate people a utopia, no less) and other socialist/Marxist writers in campaign & policy speeches shows an astounding amount of naivete and ignorance.
Yeah, Obama will "fix" this country, he'll fix it good. Or in the words of his acceptance speech, he will "remake" it.

To the dim bulb crowing about the benefits of deregulation: WE ARE IN A RECESSION. You do realize the Dow is down more than 35% from a year ago, right? The free market economy is well and good, but because it runs on greed and opportunism, there has to be checks and balances. Deregulation brings us wonderful things like S&Ls going broke and banks lending money to people without jobs so they can sell the debt-backed security. No one is saying socialism is good ... what we are saying is that the free market focuses solely on profit in the short-term and will drive the economy into the ground unless there are some basic controls on it.

764. BlueBunny - November 5, 2008 2:24 PM
I am heartened that the majority of Americans get it and voted for the better candidate, but I am also saddened to read many of the ignorant comments posted here.
Barack Obama is not a socialist and he is not a Muslim, but even beyond that, so what if he was? We have always taught our children in this great country that anyone can grow up to be president of the United States. No matter the color of their skin, their religion, or their political beliefs. If the citizens of this fine nation elect them fair and square, then they get to be president, end of story. That's how democracy works, barring small requirements like U.S. birth and a minimum age requirement. Or did people miss their high school government classes?
To those who posted racist comments, it saddens me greatly that there is anyone left in this world, much less this country, who still believes that one race is somehow superior to another. Our nation was founded on the principles of equality and freedom, and now that President-Elect Obama is in charge, I have high hopes that those principles will finally become reality.
765. we're fucked - November 5, 2008 2:24 PM

@756 - laughable. in 2004 all we heard were liberals complaining that W stole another election and that they'd never fall in line and get behind his policies. now you expect the EXACT SAME minority (fyi, Obama got almost the exact number of popular votes W got in the '04 election), a minority of fully 48% of the voting populace to just relax and let this socialist take over the country? ridiculous. this country was founded on one major principle - NEVER EVER stop the dialogue of how the country is feeling and where it is headed. everyone logging on to celebrate the dem victory - great, we all agree that obama won the election ...but don't be fooled by the liberal media pushing the agenda that obama smoked the competition - he's only got 51% of the country believing his bullshit. And fully 1/3 of that 51% voted against the policies of W - who, need i remind you, was ALREADY OUT OF A JOB IN JANUARY!

@503 since you only make 50k, you have no higher taxes to worry about. So what is your complaint again?
@509 Every religious extremists group thinks that people who don't follow their religion should be put to death. Christians have been king of that for a long time now: slavery, Ireland, Crusades anyone?

775. hmm - November 5, 2008 2:36 PM
I have no problem with Barack Obama being black, but I think it's ridiculous everyone is focusing so much on that. Yes, it's a good thing that we're starting to overcome racism, but honestly, quit focusing on his race, if that's the only reason you voted for him or think he'd do a good job, then you shouldn't be allowed to vote. Obama isn't going to fix everything (and not everything that's wrong was caused by Bush, learn how your government works kthx), but I hope that he does do well. I was apprehensive about voting for him because he hasn't really been tested, and the whole "spread the wealth" thing isn't really what America's about (yeah it works in other countries, but they're a lot more used to paying upwards of 80% of their income to taxes, in America that's not gonna jive). However he does, it's not constructive to say "America's going to fail" or "haha stupid Republicans"....GROW UP, the government isn't run by the president, he's not all powerful, and there's tons of variation within the Republican party, just like there is in the Democratic.

and 760, the dim bulb would like to remind you that you can't have all the good with none of the bad. but capitalism has proven itself to be a hell of a lot safer and healthier than socialism. oh, and if you want to point fingers at the "collapse" you need look no further than your boy Jimmy Carter and 1977 with the introduction of CRA (Community Reinvestment Act) that began a dangerous trend into the 90s of lowering credit standards to provide nearly anyone with a home - even if they truly couldn't afford it. then, the democrats pushed it even further with Freddie and Fannie, who face ZERO SEC regulations as quasi govt agencies. and as the house of cards began to crumble raines and johnson (do your homework, i won't do all the work for you even with a socialist president) were either forced to resign or quit - but still managed over $100 million in performance bonus' as they left ... and it wasn't long before they found jobs either, right on obama's staff.
i guess a dim bulb beats no light bulb over your head any day ... twit

Eventually you will all figure out that this was a MISTAKE.
Millions of us saw through the fanfare, and the media glitz and glam and, of course, his EMPTY PROMISES.
Fools. You bought it... hook, line and sinker.
The naivety is staggering, and our enemy country's are watching... and waiting.
I for one, and MILLIONS who stand behind me, weep for this lapse of judgment.
The fact is, "Change" from Obama's point of view (what he spoke of from the pulpit) is not exactly the change you will see. You think you do... you think you've got it nailed... you really think you've done a good thing for this country.
So sad... the foolishness.
We will see. Soon, you will see too.

To all you people scared of what the future awaits for the nation, just let me tell you STFU. Don't be whiners! Couldn't you see this one coming after what Bush did? Oh, and I'm sure you wanted another Bush for another 8 years! It seems like if Hugo Chavez was elected president of the U.S. THEN you would have something to be afraid of and whine about.

You made one of the best comments I have read. Congrats!

What a lame loser. You'll be moving from country to country until you're happy with the elected president. That means moving at least every 4 years forever.
Wake up people! Yes! Obama is B L A C K. hahahaha SO WHAT!?
There you go all racist skinheads fuckheads, people who thought were "superior" than Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, etc. Mr. Obama represents them all. So go fuck yourselves.
We are witnessing history here. If McCain would have been elected, it would've been just another page in history to forget, not to remember at all.

There are lots of people who didnt vote for Obama simply because hes black, but Im also sure there are plently of people who voted for him for that reason exactly. Whilst skin colour isnt the best characteristic to choose a president on, everything must understand the significance this holds, that for the first time ever it is not a white middle class man stood behind that podium.

It is truly the greatest day ever. Unfortunately, tt seems like the closed-minded, sheep follower people who believe(d) the Far Right’s campaign Propaganda (AKA LIES) that Obama is a ‘Socialist’ just can’t let it go and shut up about it. I guess we’ll have to wait a little while for Obama to prove them wrong. Fortunately, this will not be difficult. The funny thing is that some Repub pundits have already admitted that accusing Obama of being a “socialist radical” was just part of their dirty smear campaign. They know he’s neither. But telling the truth doesn’t work for the kind of campaigns those folks like to run. So, all you haters out there calm down and PAY ATTENION. It really can’t be healthy to hold so much smoldering and irrational hate in your heart, and for no reason other than ignorance.

MAJOR rule changes to the game of golf effective November 5.
Golfers with handicaps:
- below 10 will have their green fees increase by 35%
- between 11 and 18 will see no increase in green fees and
- above 18 will play for free and will get a small check from the club/course
played.
The term "gimme putt" will no longer be used and the term will be changed to "entitlement putt" and will be used as follows:
-handicaps below 10, no entitlements
-handicaps above 11 to 17, entitlements for putter length putts
-handicaps above 18, if on green, no need to ever putt, just pick it up
These entitlements are intended to bring about fairness in scoring so
that the final scores of all players will be about the same.
In addition, a Player will be limited to a max of one birdie and/or six
pars, any excess must be given to those fellow players who have not yet
scored a birdie or par. Only after all players have received a birdie or
par from the player making the birdie or par, can that Player begin to
count his score again.
The current USGA handicap system will be used for the above purposes but
the term "net score" will be available only for scoring those players
with handicaps 18 and above. This is intended to "redistribute" the success
of winning by making sure that in every competition the above 18 handicap
players will post only "net score" against every other player's gross score.
These new Rules are intended to CHANGE the game of golf. Golf must be
about Fairness Only, and should have nothing to do with ability.

I've seen a lot of people say things like "wait until you see what the next 4 years hold" and "Obama's a socialist". Man, no matter what happens we can only go up from here. I grew up and still currently live in NC, so I've seen what an ignorant president's decisions can do to our country. The south has always been pour, but Bush really fucked us good. So, as far as I'm concerned we can only go up from here. As for the socialist remark.....are all socialist things really that bad, honestly. Not that I'm saying Obama's a socialist, but what's so wrong with us helping each other and everyone helping to take care of everyone else? I hear people complain about having a nationalized health care system and having to wait in huge lines.....but what the fuck do people have to do now? I went to the hospital with a serious head injury a few years ago and still had to wait 5 hours to get an MRI just to make sure I didn't have any brain swelling. At least if we had a better health care system people could go to a doctor and not the emergency room because they don't have health insurance. So in my opinion emergency rooms would be less crowded than they are now. Why do people think that the US is the front runner with everything, honestly. Open your eyes people, we're 14 in the world for education and we're number 4 for health care, oh, and if you haven't been paying attention our economy is in the shitter....even the canadian dollar is worth more than the US right now. So yes, we do need a change in our country right now.

I still can't get over the comments here - its really quite scary - I put most of it down to scared little nerds on their computers hiding behind anonymity who wouldn't dare open their mouths in a real world forum. It scares me to thing that many americans are so brainwashed by the propergander that they generally seem to be scared of whats going to happen now that a "socialist" has the reins. If Obama didn't believe in America he never would have gotten where he is - obviously he loves the country but want's it to thrive again as it should not have everyone brainwashed by fear into bombing the crap out of the whole middle east.
Obama may well become one of the great leaders America has had - I just hope in the current climate he can.
807. me - November 5, 2008 3:19 PM
800 - I may not have voted for Obama but that post was Awesome with a capital friggin' A! Listen, we should all continue, perhaps not here after today, the discourse about our country. It is what makes us Americans and free. There isn't room for ignorance and hatred in this country. If you disagree then speak at the polls or with civil activity but threats of any kind are ridiculous. The majority of the idiots on here are either truly stupid, or really immature, but for those that have debated their position (in what has to be the most bizarre forum for political debates), it has been fun.
If you disagree with Obama, as I do, then speak your peace and vote in 2010 to change the balance of power in Congress. Then, you'll have the right to speak again in 2012 for the candidate of your choice. We didn't elect a King, we elected a President, and he can be removed from office whenever just as easily by our civic actions.
In the meantime, be Americans and prove to the world that we can all agree to disagree without being morons (already a problem for many of you, I understand). The ability to NOT AGREE is actually what proves our Democracy will be just fine.

Your backward Deliverance-esque attitudes and unrelenting hatred do more damage to the world's opinion of your country than you could possibly ever realise. Yes...you...you are the ones to blame....you trigger-happy, uneducated, ignorant, power-hungry, white supremisist fools. If more US citizens were like the guys posting the more intelligent comments on here (i.e., that'll be the non-racists just to clear that up for the retards), the world would be a better place. Obama, like him or not, is the best chance your country has of reclaiming any pride and dignity on the world stage. Indeed Obama is probably the best chance you guys have of not being blown off it. You should embrace that chance, you may be big, but you're not so big when the rest of the world is against you. And just to conclude....all racists...it's probably best you let us (civilised people) think you're dumbfucks, than writing vile rants on here that prove our point.

By the way, the Dems have only controlled the Congress for the past two years, and they have not had enough votes to stop the Republicans from invoking the filibuster whenever they tried to get anything done.
Before two years ago the Republicans controlled Congress since 1994.
Republicans have always favored and passed deregulation of many industries:
They deregulated the savings and loan industry which collapsed and needed taxpayer rescue.
They deregulated the airline industry which went bankrupt.
They deregulated the steel industry which went overseas.
They deregulated the energy industry which brought us ENRON.
They deregulated short sells to allow for naked short sells (look it up) in the financial industry which brought down the markets.
As a taxpayer I am tired of the Republican welfare programs disguised as deregulation.
We'll be cleaning up after Bush/Cheney for at least the next ten years. It'll will be your tax dollars for their work, and they'll still be raking in millions.
How much is Halliburton gonna be giving Bush and Cheney as kickback for the billions and billions of no-bid contracts that the taxpayers paid out.
Dang, even plumbers gotta bid on their jobs.

The KGB has won the cold war.
The KGB attacked the USA back in the 60's. They sent over thousands of agents to train and recruit college students and brainwash and indocrinate them into communism. The students were taught to hate America, God, Family, and their Free government. These students, called "Hippies", then recruited their friends. They stayed in school for as long as they could, and then became teachers, & professors (like Bill Ayers) never leaving the college campuses. They would eventually carry on the work of the USSR and KGB long after it's demise, and continue to Brainwash all the young, gullible, American students they came into contact with. Churning out millions of America hating brainwashed liberal marxists spewing programmed propoganda and seething with their contempt of America.
Yesterday we heard their voice. As well as 100% of the most racist people on the planet (the porch monkeys) Monkey see, Monkey do, Monkey vote for Monkey.
So for the good of the country, kill a liberal. If every real American pitches in, we'll eventually be rid of them.

I am not from America
Do you guy ever wonder why no-one in the world likes Americans?.. Seriously??
And just a note.. alot of people have commented that America is going to go downhill from here on.. to "kiss the country goodbye".. Do you think your country is doing that well at the moment anyway, it was gonna go downhill no matter who was elected, and I'm not like full on America-bashing either, the whole world is not that shit-hot at the moment.
You never know whats gonna happen with a new leader of any country at any time, but you gotta give someone else a chance if its not working. The Republicans have had their turn, and it hasn't worked.. it just makes sense
Some Americans may not be behind Obama.. but I speak for the rest of the world when I say you made the right choice

The only thing better than Obumma winning last night, would be if some old WWII Pilots got in their refurbished P-51's, flew in above the tree lines, and dropped a few 500 pound bombs on Chicago Stadium last night. To pay homage to the ignorant Americans who just made their historic sacrifice against Hitler all for nothing by electing this Communist....

I love how Obama supporters call McCain supporters ignorant, racist hillbillies with low IQs. Wow. The irony. Congratulations, sheeple. You have been fully indoctrinated by the liberal media.

Black people no longer have an excuse, thanks to this man. The gravy train has stopped. The white man is no longer "keepin' 'em down!" No more oppression talk. No more "my brother from another mother was a slave, yada, yada, yada." They officially HAVE RUN OUT OF EXCUSES. To make something of themselves. To pay child support for their umpteen kids they made while making drug deals. To get educated. It's finally OVER, thank God.
But as a military wife of a 22-year servicemember, I find it fascinating - and terrifying - that a 90-year-old grandmother can get patted down going thru airport security for fear of who she might be, yet a black man with ABSOLUTELY NO EXPERIENCE DEFENDING THIS NATION WHATSOEVER can get ELECTED AS PRESIDENT OF THIS NATION all while maintaining friendships with people/groups such as Hugo Chavez, Hezbollah, Wright, Flaeger, Rezko, and my personal favorite, William Ayers.
As a sidenote: William Ayers blew up my husband's office - the Pentagon.
And we just elected is best pal Barack Obama/Osama Hussein to lead our nation.
I think you all might be shocked to learn in the coming days ...
We just gave power to a Muslim masquerading as an oreo. We'll make sure we put away the guns you so desperately fought against when the terrorists begin showing up in our neighborhoods. Because that's when - in true Liberal fashion - you'll all be screaming at the top of your lungs ... "Where's the military to protect me? And where's God?"
I'll tell you. You took to the guns away and you told God he wasn't welcome. To which I reply, "Sorry about your luck."
Many of you don't deserve the scars my husband's bore for you. You're lazy. You're cowards. And sadly, ungreatful. My husband has fought for your very right to be able to sit here today and say things like, "We did it. We did it."
I say, it's about damn time. You lazy ungreatful pieces of shit.

817 and 818: Unless you are a white supremacist, #809's post was not directed towards you. Nowhere in that post did he/she attack the South, or Republicans for that matter.
Reading comprehension FTW!!

#829 READ #813 This is why the super "intelligent" post grad students voted for Obumma

It's not about black or white skin...it's that Obama has extreme radical leftist views
that the media and voters chose to ignore. He is an idealist and a socialist who believes the State should take care of every part
