ahhh you beat me to the thread:D I was sadly too young to vote, but I still made my voice heard



OBAMA FOR YOUR MAMA!!:biggrin::cool::eek:

Anything is possible

I respect McCain for that consession speech

yea I expected him to bitch like Sean Hannity and O'reilly will do lol

I don't know, I guess I should be happy:confused:

Like I stated on the "Palin" thread, politics and D.C. are beyond salvation in my pessimistic world view. Still, instead of writing in the Queen, I reluctantly went with Obama, fully expecting nothing to happen, but figuring if anything different was going to take place it would be with him. If nothing else, it should be a celebration of two things:

1. Most of America has much more hope for the future thing I would've figured. Even though I don't, it really is great that people are genuinely excited about this country, and that does give me some glimmer of hope in and of itself.

2. GWB's corrupt, numbnut administration is getting the hell out of the White House!!!

Congrats to Obama, and may he follow through with his plans to make this a credible country once more!

PS. Oh, yeah. Now you don't have to pretend you give a shit about North Carolina, Mrs. Dole. You can kindly never set foot back in this state ever again.

That speech was given by the John McCain that I would have voted for in 2000, not the John McCain I voted against in 2008. It was genuine.

Obama's speech was also great. The part I liked best was the admittance by Obama that there's still much to do, and that he does not intend to sit back and revel in this victory.

That is EXACTLY the point I've been trying to make to friends that have this doomsday image in their head.

Metaphors of righting a sinking ship and Allusions to rebuilding Rome aside...

Obama is much more than politics. He stands for the new age, the new times, a new hope, a new life. Obama is our "beacon of hope" in a time where the American people have no hope whatsoever. He may not be the greatest President ever, but at least he brings life into a tired, decrepit D.C. that has laid in shambles for the longest time.

He's not the answer for all of our problems. Thinking so would be idiotic. But he at least gives me some reassurance that when I graduate from Law School that I'll actually be entering an America that has a solid economy and is a place that I can be proud of.

Too long has America played second fiddle to the emerging nations around the world. It's time for us to take pride in being the greatest country in the world with the greatest people in the world. We used to be LEADERS. It's time we figure out how to get back to that way of life.


Picking McCain would just be a blah, ho hum, anyway type of election. Nothing would change. Stagnation lead us down the wrong path. Obama is taking us down not necessarily "the road less taken", but down "the road that we haven't been down in awhile"

Also, and in a more negative note:

I'm simply disgusted at how every racist person out there has come out of the woodworks to trash Obama's name. I'm amazed at how ignorant some people can be and personally vote to have each and every one of them deported.

This is America. We are America. Not us and them and those guys and all of them over there are America.:mad:

Yeah, that sucks, but he's gonna be President whether they like it or not. If he doesn't change their mind while he's in office, then those folks will simply just have to go f*** themselves.

Just one more thing. For those who might have voted for McCain, or just aren't getting the warm-fuzzies that America elected President Obama, just take a second to consider the blood, sweat and tears that blacks, whites and in this country have shed for a day in which it's even possible that we could even have a man of darker skin running for the office of the President of the United States. THEN, take into account that he was elected not because of his complexion, but because he was deemed the better man fo the job. Last night, Jesse Jackson was bawling on national TV because of the significance of that moment,and though he may be a complete tool at times, he has worked hard for equal rights all his life and it's worth admiring such a man displaying those emotions.

Whether you like him or not, the truth is that Change will happen. Obama's legislation will get passed with no restriction. So, i'm anxious to see whether those changes are for the best or worst.

+1
I agree wholeheartedly I'm still in shock because I never thought I'd see this day hopefully it's a sign that America will continue to come together instead of dividing.

I voted Nader.

_____________________________________________-

DONT COUNT ON CHANGE BEING UNRESTRICTED. THERE ARE A LOT OF CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS THAT WONT VOTE FOR SOMETHING TOO FAR OFF CENTER. CENTER LEFT OR CENTER RIGHT GETS PASSED, BUT NOTHING TOO FAR EITHER WAY. THERE WILL BE A FEW SIGNIFICANT CHANGES, BUT MOSTLY MANY SMALL ONES. FUNNY HOW THE ONES WHO CONTROL THE PRIMARY ELECTION OUTCOMES SEEM TO LOSE THEIR VOICE COME THE GENERAL ELECTION AND THEN EVEN MORE SO ONCE THAT ELECTED PERSON STARTS TO GOVERN.

[Ghost Kat]

This means alot to and for this country.......I couldn't be happie of the choice we made.
