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. :)

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

    • I decided this primetime soap deserved it's own thread as the Primetime soaps thread is very cluttered and why shouldn't NBC's Lorimar soap mot have a chance to shine? In doing a deeper dive into the second season ratings I was surprised to see that FR actually had an uptick in the ratings when NBC moved it to 9pm Tuesdays beginning March 82. I'd always assumed this move was a desperate one as NBC were running short of programming and had given up on the show,deciding to let the final episodes play out and be hammered by 3's Company  and CBS Movie. But the numbers paint a different story. In it's 10pm slot up against Hart to Hart, which regularly finished in the Top 20, FL premiered in 53rd place and placed in the 40's and 50's as the season continued. But come January 82 the numbers surged a little now moving into the 40's hitting #43 in Feb. Hart to Hart was #11 Then in March Bret Maverick was moved to 8pm with FR @9. First week 16th March FR #47 15.1/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Not great but #2 in it's timeslot March 23 FR #44 15.6/25 3's Company #4 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #33 So even with a stronger movie on CBS FR's numbers went up. March 30 FR #31 16.6/26 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #56 Best rating/position yet Tues April 6 pre empted Tues April 14 FR #36 16.0/26 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #11 CBS Movie #59 Maintaining previous week's numbers Tues April 21 FR #33 15.6/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Numbers down a little (reflecting general spring downturn) but best ranking of the season so far Tues April 28 FR #35 15.1/23 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #6 CBS Movie #42 Tues May 4 FR #27 15.2/24 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #4 CBS Movie #41 Season finale and highest position of the season. Looking at those numbers I wonder why NBC cancelled the show? They had very few hits and here was a show that was holding it's own and moving up in the rankings in a tougher timeslot. And being a serial, the storylines could continue to build the following season. And I'm sure the desirable W18-49 demo was good. Some might argue that CBS were shower weaker movies, but even so, soap viewers are pretty loyal. I guess Grant Tinker arrived at NBC and wanted a classier look but there was room for FR on the schedule. I mean, the following season Knight Rider,Powers of Matthew Star and the A Team arrived so there was still room for more populist fare. Flamingo could have stayed at 9pm-the replacement Gavilan bombed (surely FR would have done better} or moved back to 10pm. The following Jan NBC had a hit with A Team Tues 8pm. Had Flamingo followed it, it might have really taken off. As it was they tried Bare Essence, which flopped. Oh well,it was not to be...
