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. :)

    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
