    You are probably just a little snot-nosed rich white girl.

      Q: What do you get when you give a snotty little white girl money?
      Arizoziowa: An erection!

    Someone should tell Governor Plain that apparently "community organizers" are great at getting out the vote.

    • Posted By: TheVigil @ 11/05/2008 3:58:33 AM

      You know, with no disrespect to Governor Palin or Senator McCain - both of whom handled their defeat with exceptional grace and dignity - I was kind of thinking about that right now.

      What is the President, really, except the organizer of a very, very large community?

      • Posted By: Gretchin @ 11/05/2008 3:10:31 PM

        It wasn't his community organizing skills that did it. It was the fat rich crooks on Wall Street that he got in bed with to help him win.

          Gretchin, I don't think Obama has very many friends on Wall Street. If you check the news on stocks, you will see that they took a dive after he was elected. I wouldn't worry though, he is an insanely liberal politician with a moderate to conservative Congress. He won't get to do most of the things he wants to do. Even Nancy Pelosi said that he should go middle-of-the-road, but that is most likely because she wants him to get re-elected. There a lot of good articles out there about how he hasn't the Congress to fulfill any of his campaign promises. I have an online classmate in college who voted for him who thinks that the fact that Obama will have to compromise his plans is a good thing. People may have voted for him, but that doesn't mean everyone is a clone of Obama. He got over half a billion in campaign funds to run on, and in this society of nuclear solutions it only makes sense that he could sell himself into the presidency with that money. Heck, he even bought ads on XBox games. The man is a classic politician. He knows what it takes to preserve his con, but he was packaged and processed like a slab of bologne about to be sliced and slapped in plastic and given a price. That price is too high in the grocer, and it is too high in his head. He is going nowhere.

    Now the burden of guilt will fall on the Democratic party, because they won't be able to blame the Republicans. And, the Republicans will have to realize they need a strong, conservative candidate, not a moderate (seemingly liberal) one like McCain. The difference between the two candidates was that a vote for Obama was a vote FOR Obama, but a vote for McCain was not a vote FOR McCain, but a vote against Obama. If the Republican party does not come up with a truly conservative candidate, four years later Obama will get re-elected no matter what he does or does not do. You can tell how well a president is doing by the success of businesses to create jobs and more money for others, if he continues to think that's governments job his administration will only be around for four years...like Carter. I predict this is exactly what we have happening here.

      The GOP needs to revitalize their message, because the old one doesn't work anymore. Americans have had it up to here with fear.

      • Posted By: SoulGolem @ 11/06/2008 12:45:13 AM

        Hello benkrapf,

        I have abandoned the GOP. If I want to pay less taxes, the only choice I most likely have is to move to Amsterdam. The way I see it with this Obama victory is that the people will get a good dose of what they voted for. The way I see it with McCain is at least we haven't got to suffer through eight years of a moderate Republican like McCain and then maybe, just maybe four years of something a little more conservative with Palin. None of them are qualified. McCain is nothing but an incumbutent with a big heart, but I am not interested in sharing his sympathy. Palin is not anymore than Arkansas governor was in the 90s when he ran for president and got elected. Obama is the least qualified of them all. For someone who is nothing but a superunknown for the fact that he did almost nothing after elected into Senate, it is amazing that the leftwing media would be so desperate as to usher him into the White House. I could be mean and say more, but I won't. I will just let him prove everything I think will come out of his presidency as a matter of course.

    I am so proud of American for electing a great leader and an intelligent leader . I have been following the campaign and how dificult it was at times to hope that something like this could happen but it has! I am celeberating in a small hotel room in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, glued to my internet and tv screen. Crying and laughing at the same time for a great result in the right direction for both American and the world. I will try to be there for his inaugration ceremony in Washington because that is how historic this is to me, a person who has boycotted the United states because of its bad foriegn policies, policies that effect among others my country of Pakistan.Lets all pray that Obama will make the right decision in promoting peace and helping Paksitan rid of its own hopelessness.
    A GREAT ADMIRER OF OBAMA from Pakistan

      • Posted By: Pakistanigirl @ 11/05/2008 11:49:22 AM

        Obviously you have learned nothing from a leader who was elected only yesterday after the message of hope and peace. You are obviously as ignorant as you are hateful. First of all I am part Pakistani, part Canadian. Second of all you know nothing of Pakistan and the people here who have been suffering and sacrificing along side Americans in this war on terror. As for staying home, I think you should before you go out and spread more hatred. I don't think anyone supports people like you and especially not today. So go and die of shame for not letting any part of intelligence penetrating your skull.

Unlike your country, we can speak our minds, but thanks to Osama08 that may be in trouble. I hope they trun you away at customers and send you back to the rock farmers.

              This person "saky" is not amusing at all. Iy is very sad in this day and age we still have racial hatred in this country that is the melting pot of the world. African slaves, Holocaust survivors, Italian immigrants, and Hispanic immigrants [not to leave any one ethnicity out], have built this country up to what it is now. We all want change from the good ol boy politics. This is a new day and age, we need to stop looking at the past and get on with our future. To move forward is to not look back or place blame ,but do our part as productive citizens.

              Not amusement. Fright that he/she is representative of far too many in our great country who seem to have nothing but hatred, intolerence and bigotry in their heart and soul. They are the cancer of our country that we must continually battle to become healthy.

              LIKE I SAID, I am also from Canada so they will not be able to turn me away from the border. Also learn to spell first and then perhaps its easier for you to speak your sad thoughts. I am so happy that people like you got what they deserved, a big slap in the face when Obama got elected. I understand you are bitter but try to turn it into something positive instead of focusing on what will happen and what could have been. The WHOLE world is not stupid for cheering Obama on. You just dont't know how to appreciate a good thing when you got it, probably that is why you are sitting there alone in your dark and gloomy room spreading hate to the rest of the world. GET A LIFE, and start helping so that thousands don't need to die anymore. This is not the time for pointing fingers although i really want to "point one at you but not the index or pinky, but the one you put up..."

      I just want to apologize to you, Pakistanigirl. I sincerely hope you don't think this ignorant, hateful man is the face of America (as evidenced by the election of a man like Obama). The majority of us are estatic at the outcome of this election and thankful for the sacrifices your country has made alongside ours. It's our generation and people like you and me who will turn this world around. Not this hateful, hateful man.

    For all of those who have voted and elected Obama as the President of the United States....why are all the Pakistans and Iraeli's happy and excited? Does that not say something about him? Does that not bring worries or concerns to your attention? I mean seriously!! When an enemy to the US becomes glad and happy that someone is elected to be the leader of this Country, you can't help but wonder why they are so excited...my answer or conclusion would be because they are not enemies...hmmm!!

      I didn't know Israel was an enemy of the US.

      Are you sure about that, OR, do you wanna proof-read your post?

      LOL!!!!!!!!

      • Posted By: Pakistanigirl @ 11/05/2008 2:19:52 PM

        Neither is Pakistan an enemy of the USA. Infact Pakistan has been one of the biggest allies in war against terror. The badly thought policies of Bush admnistration have been carried out and people's lives have been turned upside down in the name of war on terror. We were and are suffering just as much if not the same as your countrymen who are either in Iraq or Afghanistan fighting a handful of terrorists. You need to learn history and think hard before you write your hateful and fear mongering agenda and turn people away who are extending hand of friendship. At the end of the day, Pakistani are just like Americans trying hard to make ends meet and put their children to school and not be victim of a terrorist attack. LEARN ONE THING if you are at all able of learningat all, every civilization and every country and every group of people have made mistakes through the course of history. Noble are those who learn from their mistakes and learn from it. God bless us ALL.

          Whooaaaaa...slow it down a second!! If you read my post, you'll see that I never said that Pakistan was an enemy, either. And, I certainly didn't write anything that would be considered remotely close to "hateful and fear-mongering agenda".

          Re-read the post, and take a deep breath before you jump at the chance to defend something that doesn't need to be defended.

    • Posted By: bwlear @ 11/05/2008 12:39:52 PM

      Because they see the possibility that they dont have to look at us as an enemy anymore. Maybe they understand who Americans REALLY are now and believe that we can make progress on the things that we all want, need and have in common. Why cant you try and understand that the American people are not that different from the rest of the world, and they are not that different from us. Now we have a chance to give everybody a " clean slate " to work with and establish a new relationship with. The people of this country have shown the entire world that we are more then the Limbaughs, O'Reillys, and Coulters. The people have spoken loudly and goverment had better listen.
      I hope you can look past your differences and do your part to give this country a chance to lead a brave new world.

            Saky - If you could find a way to critisze Obama without using childish name calling like "Osama", maybe people would take it seriously.

            If you're going to rely on slander, at least be creative.

            It's obvious you're using "Osama" in a negative way because the sound of his name and the color of his skin. This is why you're being called a racist. NOT because you disagree with what teh Dems stand for.

  • Posted By: cannonbll @ 11/05/2008 5:36:44 PM

    This election is an indictment of the last 8 years of policy and decision making by George Bush et al. Shoot from the hip, go with your gut instinct, don't use data, logic, or advice. The people of the United States just said enough!!!!!! McCain and Palin represent more of the same. It's not just that Palin represents that mentality perfectly ... it's that McCain made that impetuous decision in 15 minutes. Hey I have an idea next time use data, logic and advice to VET you VP. Again it's an indictment on 8 years of failed republican decision making.

    I am not going to follow McCain's advice. I don't believe it's the time to come together - I believe it is the time to resist the democrat's policies and wishes. Why should we anyway? They have been the ruling party in the Senate for the past year and have held a major stake in the decline of our economy. We should do what all the Democrat supporters did to Bush. We should blame Obama for all the problems and resist any democratic change. This is not time to come together and let the democrats have their way, it is time to play partisan politics and block everything they try to pass. Best of luck to Obama and his "change" and to all of you socialists that support him. God help us all...or should I say Mohammed?

    Complain to McCain's Top Financial Adv. who Says [He Will Raise Your Taxes]

    Keep Dreaming about Ole Man McCain..You are in the MINORITY. You a Ashley Todd belong Together.

    http://www.time-blog.com/swampland/2008/09/the_mccain_tax_increasescontin.html

    McCain Top Economic Adviser: [McCain Will Raise Taxes] ...Fact !!!

    "Whether you're a Republican, Democrat President or a Martian, Taxes will be Raised"

    Though Mccain has said Throughout his campaign

    "I will Not, Raise Your Taxes"

    His Top Economic Adviser says that a LIE....

    Obama will Raise Taxes on those that make More than 250,000...

    The 250,000 per year and Under, will have a Tax Break and Tax Cut.

    ------------------------------------------

    Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former Director of the Congressional Budget Office and current chief McCain economic advisor, is an honest man--which means he's something of a liability on the Straight Talk Express. A few months ago, he admitted to my colleague, Michael Scherer, that Barack Obama's economic plan would reduce taxes for most people.

    And now, in a forthcoming book by Fortune columnist Matt Miller, he makes it clear that the next President is going to have to raise taxes.

    "If you do nothing on the spending side, you're going to have to RAISE TAXES whether you're a Republican, a Democrat or a Martian," he tells Miller...and then he immediately makes it clear that the "spending side" part of the argument is nothing more than a ...............

    "POLITICAL FIG LEAF".

    --------------------------------------------------------

    YOU REPUBLICANS ARE SUCH GULLIBLE FOOLS...MCCAIN WILL RAISE YOUR TAXES...PERIOD

    TAXES WILL BE RAISED...PERIOD...

    2 WARS AT THE COST OF BILLIONS, HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, RECORD HIGH FORECLOSURE RATES, THE BIGGEST WALLSTREET BAILOUT EVER, INFLATION, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, OVER POPULATION, ALL LEAD TO MORE [TAXATION] !!!

    t really isn't about who screwed up now. Bush, the Dems, you, me... It is about how we unite, how we fight together for our children. My Grandfather (WW1), my Father (WW2) My brother was left to rot in the fields in NAM. Payback has to stop or Rome is going to fall, dying from within...

    If we don't come together at this moment in history we are fukd! No games, no metaphores, no politics, no slander. We are fukd! Get it?

    We are not a Christian nation, we are a nation of freedom, and that means free to worship how we choose. Get that straight!

    I almost sympathize with the ayatollahs and mullahs who must even as I write be quaking in their shoes??????Oh, Allah!??? they must be thinking, ???Obama may use???diplomacy against us. We hadn???t thought of that.???

    I am waiting to see what Obama will do to restore our good standing with places like Venezuela. I can imagine.

    • Posted By: whatisreal? @ 11/05/2008 4:14:12 PM

      Obama may possibly be smart and strong, imagine that? The ayatllas are building centrifuges and telling us to fukoff. Wow, we did a lot to stop that didn't we?

      Sorry but I like my leaders to be leaders and use thier head too. Unfortunately this country has not had a leader that had that capacity lately.

      • Posted By: neocon @ 11/05/2008 4:17:13 PM

        That would take a lot of imagination.

        • Posted By: whatisreal? @ 11/05/2008 4:25:58 PM

          Maybe so, but it is my hope.

            I guess false hope is nicer than no hope at all.

              It is, and I hope everybody can try and come together. It made me feel so good to hear McCains speech recognizing his opponent. We are a divided country and it is really sad becuase we don't need to be that way. I have to many dear friends and family who are very conservative and i care about them nonetheless. I would fight with them and fight for them. United we stand, divided we fall.

    Obama Quotes, this what we have to look forward to:

    From ???The Audacity Of Hope, ???I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.???
    From The Audacity Of Hope, ???We are no longer just a Christian nation,??? ???We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.???

    From Dreams of My Father, ??? I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER???S RACE???.

    From ???Dreams of my Father???, ???The emotion between the races could never be pure???.. the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.???

    From ???Dreams of My Father???,
    ???I ceased to advertise my mother???s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites???

    From Dreams Of My Father, ???never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn???t speak to my own. It was into my father???s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I???d packed all the attributes I sought in myself..???.

    From Dreams Of My Father:
    ???That hate hadn???t gone away,??? he wrote, blaming ???white people ??? some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.???

    From Dreams Of My Father;
    ???There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,??? he wrote. ???It remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names???

    From Dreams Of My Father, ???I had grown accustomed, everywhere, to suspicions between the races.???

      You don't get what this person is saying?? You obviously then do not have the abilty to walk in somebody leses shoes. That is really where I see teh biggest failure of the Bush adnministration. They did not have the capacity to understand anything outside the lens of the prsim they see the world through.

      Obama did not justify anything here, he explained what it was like from the world he lived in at the time. It is plainly obvious. Your proof here only [proves your limited capacity to break out of your box you keep yourself in. It is naive, and I won't say ignorant, because I do not want to insult you with that word.

      The world is bigger than how you define things. Stretch out beyond the word and see teh meaning.

    Keep running of at the mouth, cause you and I both know all that BS isnt going to happen. Isreal is on there own now. Guns are gonna be gone, the market will tank. It is already posting lower today. Shows what you now. If you like your money, you'll bury it in the back yard. Here comes the next attack and there is nothing we can do about it, and when it happens he will do nothing either.

      And I'm sure when none of your vitriolic imaginary diatribe is proven out in an Obama administration, you will not have the courage to say you were wrong.

      • Posted By: Saky @ 11/05/2008 10:28:54 AM

        We will see, and when it does happen I hope you choke on your words. Allot of people are gonna die due to this election result, just ashame we are gonna have to go thru all that again. I guess we didnt learn from 9/11. Oh well.........

        • Posted By: 4_THE_Future @ 11/05/2008 10:51:43 AM

          Fear Mongers 9/11 was an inside job why don't you ask Bush and Cheney about that? Go now Fear Mongers we seek not you're council any further ? For The Future For The SURVIVAL Of Our PLANET MOST OF ALL TO LEAVE OUR CHILDREN WITH A WORLD BETTER THAN THE ONE WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN!

          • Posted By: Pocolodi @ 11/05/2008 10:59:04 AM

            So what you're telling us is Bush orchestrated and was behind 9/11? Delusional, at best.

            • Posted By: 4_THE_Future @ 11/05/2008 11:03:19 AM

              What I'm telling you is CHECK THE FACTS DO YOU'RE HOME WORK AND STOP BEING HAND FED BY YOU"RE PUPPET MASTERS. DO THE REST OF US A FAVOR AND THINK 4 YOURSELF

              • Posted By: Pocolodi @ 11/05/2008 4:48:26 PM

                I won't even ask you for a credible link to your wild accusations, because there aren't any.

                Are you related to Charlie Sheen? lol....

        • Posted By: vfoster @ 11/05/2008 12:24:25 PM

          And it's "ok" that over 4,000 US Service members have lost their lives, countless more are disabled and offered abominal VA support, that over 900,000 innocent civilians in Iraq have lost their lives under the Bush administration... time for positive change has occurred.

        • Posted By: 4_THE_Future @ 11/05/2008 10:47:28 AM

          Fear Mongers It was 9/11 was an inside job any ways ask Bush and Cheney, This is OUR TIME So go go now WE SEEK NOT YOU'RE COUNCIL ANY MORE

    Wonder how long it will take before the blind realize how phony and deceitful Obama is...

    Wonder how long it will take before people making over $200K stop spending money and the lower-middle class starts losing their service jobs...

    Wonder how long it will take before our military is comparable to that of Canada...

    • Posted By: whatisreal? @ 11/05/2008 2:02:03 PM

      Wonder how long it takes for you to get some phychiatric help for the brainwashing by the Bush administration that you succumbed to? After the last eight years you should be asking for forgiveness for the train wreck that this country has been left in.

      • Posted By: sjbrock80 @ 11/05/2008 2:32:47 PM

        That's funny, read my post below. Exactly what I stated...liberals blaming everything on Bush. Will you still think it's somehow Bush's fault when our country goes down the toilet in a couple years?

        Your whimpering about Bush time is over. I can't wait to hear the new excuses soon. Of course, none of it will be Obama's fault or the Democratic run Congress.

        • Posted By: whatisreal? @ 11/05/2008 3:38:09 PM

          Just tired of the crp man, just tired of the lies, the hypocrasy. In the end we are all in this together, and if it came down to it, I would fight beside yourself and any American on this board.

          • Posted By: sjbrock80 @ 11/05/2008 3:50:57 PM

            Good point, I hear ya. I'd fight alongside any American any day too.

  • Posted By: VoteRed08 @ 11/05/2008 2:22:50 PM

    I feel betrayed and disgusted. Do people of the USA really believe that ???Barak Hussein Obama" will lead this country to Peace, equality and change???? Change for the better or the worse? Even his name gives me chills up my spine.

    I am appalled by the over-joyous citizens of this country that think a man, with little knowledge and experience, like Obama can do anything that will change our country. As I heard on the radio this morning, the USA will soon be changed to the USO because he "WANTS CHANGE and WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN". Just think, the United States of Obama?!?!?!

    I call BS on all of it. Everything that we have worked for will be flushed away. I am disappointed to know that our children will have to deal with this country far longer than we will, and they will have to deal with the horrible changes that he makes for our country.

    I remember Obama slipping up and saying that ???I???ve now been in 57 states. One left to go???..??? Are you kidding me? How many more states is he going to add to the US???? Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia??????.does he think that he is the Pres-Elect of a Muslim Nation? What the hell is going on.....

    And the change I am afraid of??????A completely Democratically run Nation. We are in for it.....

    There is one thing that no one has brought up???..analysts say that any governmental change made takes anywhere from 4 to 8 years to start having any sort of affect on our country???.so the Clinton administration should be getting the blame for the sorry state that our country is in???.and he was a Democrat too!

    God help us......

    • Posted By: whatisreal? @ 11/05/2008 2:32:40 PM

      I love this! You are a funny little person!!!! Say some more!! Oh, i can see your puppet strings, you haven't cut Bush loose, you are still a puppet of the the incometent and the fearful little people who ended up screwing our country.

      • Posted By: archmsu @ 11/05/2008 2:51:49 PM

        Do you have have real ideas, or do you just make fun of people all day? How old are, like 19 and this is your first election? Let me give you a little advice, campaign promises are bullshit! If anything, your the puppet, you've been spouting the same crap for six months now, and not once have put forth a good original idea. I hate Bush, I hate Bush, is that all you can say? Didn't your parents teach you anything? Let me guess, you probably don't have two parents. Dad left mom for someone younger, right? Or let me guess Uncle Ernie touched you in inapporiate ways? Your so filled with hate and bitterness, i'm glad your savior won, at least you have that!

        • Posted By: archmsu @ 11/05/2008 4:17:57 PM

          Your all absolutely right, i'm getting worked up over nothing! This doesn't really effect my life, never really has..........In fact if you really think about it, this is all a illusion. I mean, we really have no control over these people once they get into office. I guess alot of people feel that way, because only approx. 1/3 of the coun try voted. I guess those folks just realized were only going to be electing another puppet into office, this time just controlled by a different bunch of rich people, guilty white elitists.

        • Posted By: troyola @ 11/05/2008 3:11:41 PM

          do you throw temper tamtrums when u lose? i think so. do you have a smaller brain from a family history of inbreeding? i think so. mccain lost because his campaign used old world tactics verse a new world opponent. face it you are a dying breed.

        • Posted By: whatisreal? @ 11/05/2008 3:06:03 PM

          Oh and BTW, I would have supported McCain if e didn't sell out. Still respect him, but couldn't vote for him.

        • Posted By: whatisreal? @ 11/05/2008 3:04:13 PM

          I am middle aged, run a multi-million dollar project, do prettywell for myself. I am an independent, was a conservative until the GOP became the party of scared people with closed minds. Reagan would hate what the GOP has become,
          As far as what I am saying here? I am speaking at the level of children to children. Actually, I shouldn't say that, my kids would never stoop to the level that yoyu are stooping to.
          Calling people Muslim, and socialist, etc... It is a joke, and i am basically exposing it for what it is

        • Posted By: Flanders @ 11/05/2008 3:00:16 PM

          I liked your first sentence, but then the rest that followed seems pretty ironic.

  • Posted By: Working Conservative @ 11/05/2008 3:11:15 PM

    While I did not vote for President elect Obama, I will treat him with far more respect and civility than the far left wing of the Democratic party has treated President Bush over the past 8 years. As a person who served in the military, I find this kind of hateful rhetoric referring to a US President of either political party appalling. I used to tell liberals that between President Bush and Saddam Hussein, President Bush is the one who is on your side. Just a reminder to my fellow conservatives, between Obama and Iranian leaders or Obama and Putin, President elect Obama is the good guy!!!

    I will support President elect Obama's policies where I believe he is right and oppose them where I think he is wrong, particularly with respect to taxes. If President elect Obama passes his proposed income tax increases, as a highly compensated employee of a large consulting firm, I will have less financial incentive to be more productive and work longer hours so I will likely work fewer hours. This is especially true if the Democrats succeed in repealing the cap on social security taxes because it becomes more expensive to hire workers.

    • Posted By: neocon @ 11/05/2008 4:12:52 PM

      I promise to give him just as much respect as the Daily Kos and moveon.org denizens have given to President George W. Bush these last eight years.
