It's a new day for AmericaFollow

Oh, just admit it. You bawled like a baby.

Maluenda and I were talking in vent all evening and both of us were making snot bubbles of joy.

What a wonderful and uplifting post

It's like I don't even exist.

Oh, wait, I don't. My mistake, carry on.

I always come too late to the party.

Accute testosterone poisoning.

Well... Smash is of course correct.

While I didn't vote for Obama, he will still be my president. IMO, one of the most interesting aspects of this was listening to the conservative talk folks this morning and hearing essentially that exact same sentiment. It's a nice contrast from what we heard (and continued to hear for 8 years) from the Left when the situation was reversed. I'd make a point about class and respect, but I really shouldn't have to.

For my own part, I will work hard to judge President Obama fairly and on the merits of the situation at hand, and not just on partisan likes and dislikes. I would also ask that those who did vote for him do the same. I expect that all of those who argued that Obama wouldn't carry out some far left agenda (you know who you are!) when debating over the last 6 months will stick to those positions when he is serving his term and be vocal if he takes an action that doesn't match those arguments.


While I still fervently believe we'd have been better off with a President McCain, I'm not one to cry over spilt milk (another contrast I suppose). As of today, Obama has a clean slate as far as I'm concerned. We'll see what he does with it...


Oh. And Congrats to all those who supported him. While I don't agree with your positions most of the time, your guy did win and I'm just gracious that way. :)

Well, Obama hasn't exactly done anything as President have they? And unlike Post-Election Day in 2000, nobody stole the election.

No, I was not whooshed.

You're trying to act like conservatives are somehow better than liberals because their attitude is in "contrast with what I've heard from the Left for the past 8 years" when that's complete *********

What i'm trying to say is that the liberal grumbling for the past 8 years has been justified because obviously Bush has done a ****** job; and in 2000 liberals shouldn't (and didn't) have been giving the same sentiment since the "victory" was shady in the first place.

So, don't try to make you and your conservatives buddies look more honorable than liberals when you're not.

as much as i think obama has the potential smash raves on about, especially internationally, my celebration will have to wait.

right now im couped up with a really pissed off republican and i expect it will be a few days before she even talks to me, and longer before i get "playtime" again. and i suspect any enthusiasim i display will only prolong my personel suffering.

this is the right man. this is a once in a lifetime leader. this is the american dream realized.

the night is always darkest before dawn. the sun is rising, its time to sing again.

At least he makes it sound fun.
