Fuck off. Are you serious? He's got the biggest security detail ever, you think you're getting through that?

Definitely a possibility. I imagine that is bulletproof glass on the sides of the stage. Hope they are no ... in the crowd.

It's about to start.

Am I the only one worried about hearing a gunshot?No. However, I am not among you. Now hush, I'm listening to the speech.

Oh a headshot would be a big possibility right now....he's wide open...

Security there is probably tighter than...I can't think of anything that would be tighter, now shush 'til he's done

Security there is probably tighter than I can't think of anything that would be tighter, now shush 'til its over

A virgin's vagina?

Not tonight.

Hey, lets look at the difference in supporters.

McCain mentions Obama...boos errupt from the crowd.

Obama mentions McCain, and McCain gets applause.

Not only did we win, we'e the bigger people in the process.

I'm willing to bet the Secret Service is well placed to protect Obama.

Anyway, so far so good.

Not tonight.

I didn't booing was right at all

You know, I talked a big game, and a lot of smack. I never, ever expressed any doubt about his victoy.

But Im in shock that he won. I expected it to be closer, and perhaps even for him to lose, on a deep, subconscience level. It just seemed to good to be true.

I invested so much time and emotional energy (and some money too!) into this campaign. Now that its over...my eyes are tearig up.

Puppies! Yay!

I'm fucking excited. :D

I just noticed his hair looks a lot grayer that it did than in April...

His speeches Actually remind me of Reagan in style if not policy. I see why he won.

Politics can be stressful

"To those Americans whose support I do not yet have...I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your president too."

Beautiful. I love this man. This victory was worth every single bit of stress and energy I put into it. All that volunteering by me and those like me has paid off.

Im chocked up.

He's an incredible orator.

I'm sure his wife says that too...but in a different context....

Now Im laughing and crying.


I hate you.

Just because he is black does not make him a Porn Star. lets not encourage him to head the Clinton way.

Now Im laughing and crying.


I hate you.

*laughs* Excellent!

Hey, it's not my fault that I can pervert anything that's put in front of me....well....yea it is. :D

I'm sure his wife says that too...but in a different context....

A cunning linguist? ;)

*laughs* Excellent!



Hey, it's not my fault that I can pervert anything that's put in front of me....well....yea it is. :D

I already made the once you go black you never go back joke in regards to voting.

Are there any videos of it on the web yet?

*laughs* Excellent!



Hey, it's not my fault that I can pervert anything that's put in front of me....well....yea it is. :D

Next thing you know he sleeps with an Intern and the republicans are back in congress on a moral majority vote All thanx to you. Your perverted mind has ruined our country and the first black presidency. I hope your burn in hell.

I must say, that was great to listen to, and may we hope for the best for the next four or eight years.

This is probably the saddest thing I have ever read.

I mean, good grief, he's the President, not the Messiah (of course, most Obama supporters can't seem to tell the difference).

Since when has the President ever been more than a glorified figurehead? I mean, seriously?

It's nice to know that I have such a reach. :D

Sour grapes. I will relish your bitterness for the next four years.


Im sorry you dont understand what it feels like to have been following someones career since their first term in your states senate, working for someone's campaign really hard, donating money to it, and then seeing all your hard work realized.


Since when has the President ever been more than a glorified figurehead? I mean, seriously?

Do you not understand how our government works? The president is much, much more than a glorified figurehead. Are you Rusty's puppet?

You did not Take Obama's speech to heart. He is not about rubbing it in his opponents face he is about bringing his opponents into the fold.

Who is rubbing it in someones face? This forum has a no gloating policy, and I am respecting that.

Listen closely the rednecks are closing in on him.

That and audio from McCain's concession speech just goes to show that Real Americans™ are sore losers.

you are relishing his bitterness. someone who took Obama's words to heart would help him to give up his bitterness and enjoy the times ahead.

Hope for the best, plan for the worst. Unemployment up, tax rates up, dollar value down. All in a day's work for the middle class.

This is probably the saddest thing I have ever read.

He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

This is probably the saddest thing I have ever read.

I feel the same about you, sir.;)

I mean, good grief, he's the President, not the Messiah (of course, most Obama supporters can't seem to tell the difference).

I could say the same about the GOP and Regan. And what do you know of the beliefs and emotions of "most Obama supporters"

Since when has the President ever been more than a glorified figurehead? I mean, seriously?

Let's see, pardoning and commuting sentences, ordering military action, appointing Secretaries and Supreme Court Justices (who decide how all our laws are interperated). That's a fair bit of power. Of course, Congress has its share of powers, as do the courts. Its this thing called checks and balances. Sadly Bush never got the memo.

Stop being a sore loser. Obama might be good, or he might screw up. But he genuinely cares for his country and this world, he is very intelligent and educated, and he is surrounded by smart advisors. He's not a socialist, terrorist, or anything that would be out of the main stream of politics. He'll be fine.

Sounded like he said alot but did not say anything. The worst speech he has ever given. His inaguration speech will probably say what he did not say tonight. But will I believe him? That is a problem, then again I might believe him and that is a problem. That is not an actual question but a statement.

At least he won democratically.

Popular vote is at 52/47 in his favor last time I checked. And the electoral math is even more in his favor. So indeed, fairly won, and the people have spoken.

Now let's hope he's up to the job. No President can have faced such a challenge since FDR. Best of luck, Obama.

It's not a position speech or a policy speech. It's a victory speech. I can't believe even you were expecting some kind of nuts-and-bolts exposition on election night. What is wrong with you? Are you so blindly partisan that you don't understand what kind of a speech the man was giving? Give it rest for once in your posting career.

He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

There's a mess in here, but no messiah.

I could say the same about the GOP and Regan. It's not that he's a messiah, so much as the motherfucker doesn't have enough dirt staying on top of him.

Sadly Bush never got the memo.Well, he did, but he probably didn't get around to reading it, and left it in that big pile of emails ...
