Barack Obama Elected President!

[jcar03]

Those people are such losers.

The Palin comment about red states being more American makes me angry too.

[Wales2004]

If it's true that they test market commercials before airing them then the Republican trust didn't do an effective job on their Too Radical Too Risky Rev. Wright ad. The ad doesn't have any pull one way or another...or maybe I'm just indifferent towards it since it does nothing for me period. I don't see the value in running an ad that puts one person down but doesn't offer any sort of alternative.

McCain's campaign was gratified by SNL's parody of Keith Olbermann......that seems pathetic that they addressed that.

[SnCCorinthos4ever]

Why doesn't that surprise me.

I hope that Obama/Liden kick some serious McCain/Palin butt.

And from what I have understood what you have said that Palin is literally saying that if you don't agree with her and McCain and vote for them, then you are unamerican.

Republicans who act like this and say crap like this make me sick and very angry. These people remind me of Nazis or Communists with their do as we do or your against the country crap.

Barack Obama's speech about coal plants and bankruptcy was taken out of context. His aunt is only a half aunt. So why should he know her business since he's not even been around her much of his life and has only met her a few times actually. Poor Kenyan relatives, these relatives are very distant relatives and why sould he know about them. The rest has been talked to death on here and elsewhere proving the GOP/McCain/Palin kool-aid is full of sh!t!!! The days ahead under an Obama presidency will be very,very bright for everyone except terrorists and the uppper 5% paying more taxes. You'll even be better off, unless you're in that upper 5% which I seriously doubt.

“I never make any big, big gaffes. I mean, you guys love saying that about me, but I tell you what, just look at the numbers. I don’t have any problem with what I’ve said and there’s nothing I’ve said that I would back off of.” --JOE BIDEN

Also from Joe...

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy..."

Joe Biden on Barack Obama, circa the primaries...

"...a one-term, a guy who has served for four years in the Senate. ... I don't recall hearing a word from Barack about a plan or a tactic."

...and on Obama's readiness to handle a crisis...

"Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate. And he's gonna need help."

Of course, the list goes on. Biden clearly wouldn't vote for Obama if he wasn't on the ticket, so why should we?

I'm amazed America will be electing a non-US citizen with deep ties to terrorists. Shocking!

Brian, you do satire well. :lol:

[Toups]

Have you guys seen the trailer for this documentary?

I for one, do not trust computers to do the voting. I prefer paper ballots. What can't we go back to those?

[SnCCorinthos4ever]

Here in Australia all voting is done by a paper ballot.

They are place in a sealed box, once the polling place has closed the boxes are then opened and each vote is checked by hand to make sure that they are vaild and who the vote has been made for. They are then placed in piles of 100, once counted it is phoned through to the main electoral centre for that district and then and only then is it put onto a computer.

If there is any dispute or one of the officials wants a recount it is once again all done by hand, but this time all the votes from that district/area is in the one place.

I just wrote this blog for my MySpace and figured I'd share it here with everyone:

Today’s the day. After what seems like an interminable wait, we finally get to vote for the next President of the United States!

To me, the choice this year is simple: hope versus despair, change versus the status quo, and sadly truth versus lies.

I can’t remember another election season that has had so many lies spread, mainly by the Republican candidate, whom you may recall was called out by the Associated Press two months ago for lying so much. It was the first time in history that the press has ever done that!

Now for the truth, Obama is not a Muslim, nor a Socialist or Communist or Marxist, nor is his plan to “tax and spend”, that old Republican lie that has been around for decades. If you make less than $250,000.00, you would get tax break under Obama, but not under McCain. Think about that when you’re at the polls. Also think about McCain’s plan to tax health care for the first time in America’s history. And before taxing it, he would give only a $5000.00 payment to the health care company of your choice, for a policy that typically costs around $12000.00. Guess who makes up the difference? If you can’t afford it, too bad! Obama, on the other hand, is offering health care for everyone. Obama has been painted as a terrorist for his tenuous association with William Ayers while McCain is close friends with G. Gordon Liddy, whose name you may recall from the Watergate scandal, and who has since been revealed as once plotting terrorist acts against the US including kidnaping and murder. As far as Iraq goes, McCain has publically talked about keeping our troops there until the war is won, up to 100 years if necessary. He also is planning to bomb Iran next. Just like Bush, with whom he voted 90% of the time. Do we need 4 more years of the same?

This is the first time in my life that I have ever been excited about a presidential candidate. Barack Obama epitomizes the intelligence, judgment, foresight and demeanor that we need to lead our country. It has been said repeatedly and sometimes snidely by the Republicans that Obama “acts” presidential. What this means is he doesn’t lose his temper easily and stop everything to do nothing (remember McCain halting his campaign due to the financial crisis when he rushed to Washington and did nothing to help?). We need a leader who will assess the situation and react after talking to his advisers, who hopefully are experts in the field. With McCain, his staff is likely to include the people who are currently advising him in his quest for the White House, most of whom formerly worked for Bush and/or Nixon. Do we trust any of them? Obama, on the other hand, has included former Clinton staffers. Remember how good our economy was in the Clinton years?

Now, I could go on and on about how McCain has run the sleaziest campaign ever and tried to use racism among other tactics or how he proved his lack of judgment in selecting Palin, a woman who saw no problem with charging victims for their rape kit when she was mayor. But lack of time this morning leads to me end this sooner than later.

Is Barack Obama the best candidate ever to run for president? Honestly, I don’t know; however, he is the most charismatic, smartest, best prepared candidate I can recall during my lifetime. He reminds me of John F Kennedy. As I noted above, he also has real ideas of how to heal our nation during this time of economic crisis and he is putting the middle class first, which is exactly the type of president we need. Please go out today and vote for Barack Obama, the only choice in this year’s election!

I'm glad election day finally is here, this campaign seems to have gone on forever. I've always liked election day, I love waiting for and watching the results.

[NYC123]
