Unfortunately, we might get the nightmare policies Obama promised. Then again, we might find out that Obama was just talking out of his ass the whole time. I very much hope he was.

Alright guys got anymore trash? You know it's garbage day today we finished the election.

Yeah, Obama won the election. That last drop of faith in humanity I had was making me believe it could not happen, but it did. Thus, the last drop is gone. What a dysfunctional world.

Well said.

Not surprising at all. I am not really happy about it, but I hated mccian as well. I guess we will have to settle for four more years of crap. Only good thing is that maybe it will knock some sense into republicans and they will nominate Ron Paul next time.

Just to shoot a few more CC's of reality into the above post, I'll add: "However, we might end up finding out that Obama's leadership and his policies are exactly what this country needs. We might also find (as if it were ever right to assume the opposite) that his controversial associations were purely benign, and he is the good man and proud American that he says he is."

Whether you want to admit it or not, these are all possibilities. I honestly can't see how you can crucify the man so much for things he has not already done, and be so precognitive as to damn him for the feasibility of policies that haven't even been put into place yet.

There is nothing wrong with my "damning" him for being so so so tight with terrorists and other despisers of our country. It is not like they are people he merely talked to for five minutes at a football game. We also know that "spreading the wealth" hurts economies, and we are on the edge of another great depression. I did not make up any of that. Electing Barack Obama could turn out to be the most dangerous thing the American electorate has ever done, ever. I say that not just because of the shakiness of who Barack Obama might be. I say it because we are on the edge of terrible disaster and because of what we already know about who Barack Obama is. This was no time for screwing around. I am in no less shock than I was in this time yesterday. This is the biggest WTF I have ever seen. You might agree with me in a few years. Let's hope not.

You know when something amazing happens (like getting a new car or it's your birthday) and you wake up thinking, "Something is new and exciting, but what? OH YEAH!" Well, I did that for the first couple of days. Or I'd be cooking and suddenly think about our new president and get all excited and do a little dance. Hell yeah, the year I turned 18 is the year I was able to vote! Whoo! I'm eagerly awaiting Jan 20th when Bush will finally GTFO for ever.

Bush wanted to amend the constitution to BAN gay marriage. Like that's completely legal and not at all defecating on human rights.
Obama and Biden are against gay marriage in personal belief, but at least they vote in favor of equal rights, the way it should be. They're not going to let their religion get in the way of politics. I'm glad somebody still respects the separation of church and state, unlike Cali's Prop 8.

I look at it this way: I'm mostly gay, so I can't be republican. I wouldn't have voted Obama if I didn't approve of his plans, though. I knew he would win, even when Hilary was still in the race. We just had 8 years of a crappy republican, and so the political pendulum had to swing the other way. I'm glad Obama won Ohio, which is usually a republican state.

Before this, I really didn't care about politics. Now that my opinion matters and I have faith in the president, I'm interested in this stuff. :]

I just hope that no douchebag racist is so offended by skin color that they feel the need to attempt assassination. Nobody would dare kill Mccain because nobody wants Palin as president.

Canada is glad we voted for the right person this time.
