All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.

Barack Obama Has Been Elected The Next President of the United States
Let us hope he will be a good President, a good steward of our nation's commitment to the idea that all men are created equal, with the unalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

YOu guys are so gracious, as was John McCain in his concession... but this isn't over... the shady connections weren't just a campaign trick ... his flip-flop and "nuances" regarding terrorism, and his complete lack of ideas concerning radical islam remains, his civilian army? his idolatry, messianic complex... All these things remain... the fight continues...he and the democratically controlled congress should not, MUST NOT have an easy time
i know how he wants to play it, taking a page from the clinton play book... play everything nice and pretty, and he's beyond clinton in "acting", the cover ups... it's up to us to dig through it all
will all the information available it's ASTOUNDING that he would achieve such a victory.. the American people fell prey to the sensationalism of the "economic downturn" which I guarantee disappears in the next couple of weeks.
Pastorious, please don't be grotesque. This is a catastrophe. What are the chances of this Trojan horse of the Marxists, black racists, and Islamists having a change of heart that would turn him into what you describe? And how long would he last among the people who put him there if he did?
... and, I'm guessing, you would prefer that he not be a catastrophe also.
Let's hope that, whatever desire he might have to the contrary, he finds it impossible to implement some of the "Change" that he might Hope for. Bush has been frustrated in many of his attempts. Hopefully, Obama will find institutional roadblocks in his way as well.
And, hopefully, in running up against those roadblocks, maybe he will learn some wisdom and change the error of his pipedreams.
These things actually happen with almost all Presidents. Few Presidents actually accomplish the things they set out to accomplish. Things happen, and their course is set for them.
Bush has been frustrated in the final two years more than anything, as he has had to contend with a democrat controlled house and senate. Now they have made further gains and they are of Obama's party.
But haven't many of us already noticed how easy it's been for the majority of Americans to gloss over amazing things like his civilian army statement? I think we are playing with a much different character here, one that may be harder than any other in political history to win against. The machine he has created, the image, the product. There was a time when one's "blackness" was harmful, today that has been inverted and used as a powerful tool of deflection. This is a different ball game.
Compare McCain's gracious concession with the the tantrums thrown by Gore in 2000 and Kerry in 2004. The country is polarized enough as it is. We don't need more 'hanging chads'
I respect the Office of President of the United States. But since when did any individual occupying that office automatically become an object of blind veneration as "my president"? We elect a president to be the senior executive officer of this nation and to uphold her princples and defend her from enemies of the Constitution foreign and domestic. We don't strew roses in his path and bow down to him if he refuses to do that, which is exactly what I believe this man will do. He has been marinating in Marxism and racism and flirting with Islam for his entire life. He now has the golden chance to put it all into practice and I see no reason to think that is not what he will try to do. Yes, he will meet with opposition and I intend to be part of it unless and until he gives me reason to change my attitude.
The armed forces, meanwhile, are stuck with him as Commander-in-Chief, and my heart goes out to them.
Tonight I asked several people I work with who are Obama fans, "Now that he has won, what do you expect he will do? What do you hope he will do? What do you predict will change?"
And it was PATHETIC what kind of vague, weak, watered-down answers I got! I said, "You just VOTED for the guy, right? Why did you vote for him? What do you expect he's going to do?"
"Oh," said one, "I think he will improve America's image around the world."
Good lord.
I'm with you, Pastorius. I hope he will be a good President. But I'm sure we're all going to continue the wage the battle for the free world regardless of what he turns out to be. And we have four years to educate enough people to have a better outcome in the next election.
RRA, You are right. We have to continue to fight. We have to make sure we do everything we can so that Obama does not veer away from our Constitution.
Democrats participated in a lot of hyperbole about how George Bush would destroy America, enforcing a police state, that no person would be safe from the eye of Sauron that was George Bush. Their worries have proved laughable as time has passed.
Let us hope the fears expressed by our side also prove to be laughable.
I don't want Obama to be a bad President. I don't want him to destroy America. And, you don't either.
OK, so I bypassed the "denial" stage and went straight to "anger". I also skipped "bargaining" and am trying to get through "depression" as fast as possible so I can reach "acceptance" and decide on the best way to deal with it. At least it's just Obama and not Death.

I do hope that he will be a good President. I don't desire for him to be a catastrophe.
"Let us hope..."
You're kidding right?
And as my sister said tonight, if Al Franken wins Minnesota, we have truly gone to the dogs. I'm feeling queasy and uneasy.
God Bless America!

Not death ... yet.
As long as you keep your mouth shut like a good Comrade.
