Barack Obama Elected President!

If you replace the words Barack Obama with Sara Palin, then ICAM.

Actually dozens if not hundreds of articles have been written about it where the reporters have intensely investigated the situations; if anything I think the media has put too much negative criticism and some have exaggerated the situations to make Obama seem worse and not have called out McCain's hypocrisy for his negative ties, oftentimes with the same organizations and people.

McCain and Obama have similar views on coal - from reading the article it just shows what liars and hypocrites the GOP is - don't get me wrong - all politicians are to some degree but the GOP takes it to a disgusting and incomprehensibly malevolent level that has made me lose complete and total respect and trust for them:

So all his supporters think that or just a few crazies like there are on the McCain side - although I do think that McCain has more who drank the crazy kool-aid of Rush Limbaugh and other conservative talk radio hosts, Fox News, the Druge Report and several others. But, if you believe that then I guess you better vote for Obama.

Apparently nothing. If he was hiding something they would not have been on his plane in the first place - it's my understanding that they were just recently replaced by other reporters who I assume were guaranteed a space the last weekend of the election. BTW, Obama just did an interview with Katie Couric this weekend - he talks about his Aunt's situation so you know it is VERY recent - check it out on CBS News tonight. Where exactly did you read that he he won't answer ANY questions until after Election Day - could it be the place where you also read these other biased or just plain wrong "facts"?

I thought that there would be very grim days ahead for an America under a Bush presidency but I was willing to give him a chance and unfortunately I was proven right twice. If he is elected, at least give Obama a chance to prove you right (or wrong).

Well he did include a link to hotair.com so I figured that's what this is.....I mean am I supposed to take this seriously? When I said that Maureen O'Dowd was no longer permitted to travel on the "Straight Talk Express" no one said hmmmm is McCain hiding something (and she isn't the only one who was banned since there was Joe Klein and others)? Only Obama seems to have crooked intentions and what have you so I take this as the joke it is.

And moving along....I can understand people who say they're worried about the economy saying they want to give Obama a chance but I don't understand anyone who says McCain has the fix......would that be the fix he pushed when he suspended his campaign???

McCain does not represent any sort of change. I still don't see all the enthusiasm for him coming from the Republicans at all. They're more preoccupied with the flaws in their opponents to say what's good and positive about themselves or their party and they're not keeping up with the changing face of this nation. I can see McCain represents the status quo for some people who probably need to hold on to the way things are for their own special reasons.

I've never thought of it quite like that before. :lol: :lol: :lol: Other than that disagreement, it's good to hear from you Brian. I will support whoever is elected president. That is the nature of democracy. Also there are grim days ahead regardless of who gets elected. We are in for a very rough time. The country is a mess right now. I don't think Obama losing would lead to another civil war, but I can't recall anyone saying that it would.

By the way, part of the reason that McCain will lose, in my opinion, is that he consistently misrepresented the truth. A number of those misrepresentations are in your post. Had he talked about himself and his own policies, rather than not telling the truth. I think he would have done far better in the election. McCain's strongest argument would have been character -- his own, not Obama's. When he opted to become something that he once despised, he doomed his own campaign.

Seriously?!?!

How could people be so cruel? There are truly some nuts out there.

And, as for Sarah Palin's comments about parts of this country being more "American" than others, that is just sad. I was also offended by it. I am a very patriotic person, and I think it portrays her as inexperienced, desperate, and unqualified to be only a heartbeat away from the Presidency. I hope Obama and other Democrats win in a landslide tomorrow. :)

    • Yeah, right, they've got Cam playing Love2Hate Drew in extremis & they're not gonna play that hand out?!!!  I figure they use the prison beat-down for a redemptive phase but only when they think they've wrung every possible drop out of this absolutely odious every day villain they've created!

    • Respectfully agree to disagree. We had 4 episodes with original flashbacks integrated well into contemporary scenes that were sweet, romantic, that resonated, that hit all the possible nostalgic chords & that shows me the writing team not only cares for these 2 characters but that they were really excited about writing for them. And, we also have the quote from Korte/VanEtten beginning of the year-ish that they considered Lucky & Liz a foundational couple for the canvas.  I thought Lucky's saying he didn't think he'd stay once she turned down his marriage proposal to be good character motivation. I also thought the idea of some summer travels with Aiden supports character integrity.  Going by his exit interviews, what's left is people & logistics/scheduling, etc. & there's no way a writing team can anticipate an actor taking an out in their contract ahead of time. They have to deal with it, in the moment, when it comes up & likely it's going to make a bit of a mess to whatever they have sketched out in the long story thrust. 
    • I had a driver taking me to Infusion the other day & we were talking about soaps. She was out of touch but had been a CBS fan, from TPIR, all day till Oprah. Telling her about BTG. What network? CBS. When: 2pm. Is it between ATWT & GL? Oh, girl, you are so behind. So, she was appalled when I briefly brought her up to date BUT she remained interested in hearing more about BTG, so that was a plus.  Last weekend I got a haircut so it is the way I like it, short & spiky but of course it's purple. Recently, I was waiting for my ride outside the Infusion Center & a woman comes up to me, about my age, short spiky hair but all white. She raves about my purple hair & says she is a pancreatic cancer survivor & purple is that color (which I knew) and she is thinking going purple but doesn't know where to start. So I tell her about Splat, no bleach req'd, easy, etc. & she's getting excited & my driver pulled up, & stuck her head out & said, Donna? & she had purple hair, too! I felt like we were in a purple vortex. It was both lovely & surreal.      
    • We saw Hope, with Bo, where she revealed John's death to him & he immediately wanted to leave for Salem & we saw the two of them talk to a doc or an admin about whether he would be allowed to be discharged yet.  Someone, maybe Will, talked to Sami on the phone and at the airport Sydney had taken a fall, sounded like she was on a moving sidewalk, and had at least 2 breaks & was scheduled for some kind of orthopedic surgery.  Since it is clear that Sweeney cannot or will not be available, again I say  it is time to recast.  Wasn't Carrie lock-step with Belle the whole time? In general I thought all of the eulogies were both good & appropriate. Yes, Paul touched me like no other. Loved Abe. I still miss previous Little Rachel but for the first time new Little Rachel also moved me. And, amazingly, I am caught up again. Whoopeee!

    • In true TV tradition Dani kept her bra on during sex. Couldn't we have been treated to Andre in his underwear , rather than trousers on already? I took Hayley's reaction as teasing. Surely she wouldn't think for a moment Bill was fooling around with Ashley? I agree that Dupree staircase looks a little basic.Wish for something grander. And in the living room there was a lamp in front of the door. Huh? Is that a closet? Would you have built in storage in a living room in a house of that size? Chelsea has millions of followers?

    • 1976 Pt 2 A young woman named Tina calls Norman’s hospital room, claiming she’s in town and is broke and upset about his condition. He firmly tells her to stay away, but she sneaks into his room later, upsetting him. He tells her she’s ruining his plan, but she can’t see why— after all, he’s told her he loves her, and they will soon be married. Norman becomes irate and starts yelling, claiming all his problems are because of Sandy. Meanwhile, Bob, who had left the floor station for Norman’s room, discovered he’d forgotten his stethoscope and returned to his office for it. Nurses passing Norman’s room heard loud shouting from within but assumed everything was under control, as Dr. Hughes was in there. When Bob finally returns, he finds Norman alone. Tina has slipped out, and Norman has had another heart attack. All emergency methods fail, and Norman dies. Bob takes it hard; he was his doctor and couldn’t save him. John Dixon, long resentful and bitter at Bob’s successes in his career, subtly manages to force a hearing into Norman’s death. The floor nurses report that Bob went to Norman’s room and an argument followed; then Bob called for help when Norman went into heart failure. Bob’s report is contradictory that he went for his stethoscope and found Garrison already stricken. Bob, assuming that this is only a routine death, has already left on a short vacation, untroubled and unsuspecting, so his written report must stand. He returns to find that the situation has escalated into a full-fledged investigation. Learning that the argument is the bone. of contention, Sandy comes forward and claims that she was in Norman’s room, arguing with him. Bob refuses to let her perjure herself, which John manages to use as credence in Norman’s contention that Bob and Sandy were having an affair. ‘Bob is angry when, after a week, the hospital board hands him an official reprimand; thinking this is virtually an accusation of guilt, Bob refuses to accept it. His first reaction is his resignation, but upon thinking it through, he decides he’s going to fight this. He withdraws his hasty resignation and begins to work with Tom to reconstruct the events of the day Norman died. Nurse Connolly finally admits that someone could have entered Norman’s room unseen, but Floor Nurse Holland is firmly convinced no one did. Carol Stallings is upset to learn that the business tactics of her husband, Jay, while legal, are not as ethical and moral as she would have hoped. Chris Hughes has asked Tom to take over Jay’s legal affairs for the firm. Tom decides the opportunity is too good to refuse, even though he personally doesn’t like Jay - and knows Jay resents him, as he and Carol were at. one time married. Tom soon finds that some of Jay’s proposed new dealings are somewhat illegal, in the gray area, and tells him he advises against them. It is a  lawyer’s function to protect clients from making this kind of mistake, he explains. Kim Dixon has recovered physically from the injuries she sustained when she was hit on the head during a tornado, but her amnesia continues. She has been told that she was about to divorce John and marry Dan, but cannot seem to feel any emotions toward Dan now. In fact, she has noticed that most of the people around her seem to dislike John, and she is therefore feeling sympathetic toward him. John manages to usé Kim’s uncertainty to widen the gap between her and Dan, and finally convinces Kim to let him move back home. Dan is very badly hurt upon learning of this. Kim explains to Bob that she feels uncomfortable with Dan—she senses that he expects more of her than she can deal with now—while John has been thoughtful and understanding of her. Susan Stewart, Dan’s ex-wife, has stopped drinking, and tries to help Dan through this painful time by taking the holiday season responsibilities for Emily and Betsy upon herself to relieve Dan of the burden. (Emily is Dan and Susan’s daughter; Betsy believes she is Dan’s orphaned niece but is in reality his daughter by the late Elizabeth Stewart.) Dan’s misery at Kim’s apparent rejection has finally  convinced him to accept a medical-mission assignment in Bolivia. Kim, meanwhile, has been having momentary flashes of memory, but none are long enough so that she can understand what she’s remembering. On the night Dan is leaving for Bolivia, however, she has a coherent recollection and remembers the letter she wrote to Dan saying she wanted to be with him for the rest of their lives. Learning that he is leaving immediately, Kim leaves three messages on his answering machine. But Susan, who still wants Dan back, overhears Kim on the phone and goes to Dan’s office, where she removes the tape. Susan later tells Kim that Dan got the messages but they weren’t important enough to handle before leaving for South America. Susan then suggests to Kim that she gracefully end it by writing to Dan saying it’s all over, and to press Kim further shé suggests that Kim has been ungrateful to John for the constant care and concern he’s shows her during the past weeks. I believe the Dan going to Bolivia story was when John Reilly left. When Dan returned, it was again John Colenback. So the Kim/Dan story had been initiated with Reilly/Hays.
