Obama Wins Presidency!!
 

McCain Concedes the Election:

"Barack Obama swept to victory as the nation's first black president Tuesday night in an electoral college landslide that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself."

First story here

This should be an interesting time.......

Yeah - another election thread!

iSm will be so happy!

As will Scaeagles.


:evil:

Starbucks gave me free coffee!!!!

There was free coffee?

Coffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Yep! Tall size coffee.:)

Congrats!

-here's hoping for good things. When reality hits and the rubber meets the road- all the high talk has to turn into real action.

Honestly, the best any president can do is try. Congress is its own many headed hydra which can be near impossible to tame.

I've always found it ironic that the smallest coffee is the "Tall"

Nov 5th is always a good day to start limiting expectations....

Classy post. I'm looking forward to seeing action as well.

There's more than one?

;)

I'm seriously ready for some post-election unclenching. I'm waiting for the "Obama is the AntiChrist" crap to blow over on another board I read so I can resume posting there.

Life is hard when you're a second amendment Dem.

Well, that's what you get for posting republicansbackwardsrus.com

Not even close. :P It's a costuming site.

republicancostuming.com?

Olivia and I had talked about writing in Hillary Clinton's name (I let her commandeer my vote). As the election drew closer she started talking more about Obama...we had a discussion discussing the pros and cons (being able to vote for whomever you want to in this country vs. history). In the end, she chose to vote for Obama. I am happy for her (and me) that looking back, she will feel as though she was a part of history.

Okay, I had to pass this along, made me laugh this morning.

I was just thinking if Obama didn't win, would it have meant that his girls wouldn't have gotten a puppy?

:D

Maybe they will also get a kitteh. :D

That's a good question, were there any First Cats?

What kind of puppy should the First Puppy be?, make your pointless vote heard!

Socks!:D

Close. It's a SASS-related costuming site.

I suspect the puppy was a reward for a job well done during the campaign. It's got to be hard on kids to go through that.

I do hope they rescue a dog.

Much easier to potty train when you have "staff". :D

(Me too, on the rescue)

It would make a powerful statement for them to rescue a dog. I think lots of people would do the same.

I voted for the rescue dog, but I like the terrier -- "so he can pal around with it".

wearing muslin?

Don't know how many South Park fans there are here, but for those who are, I highly recommend this week's new episode concerning the election. They skewer it, like every other subject, in their own inimitable way. :)

You look cute in that skirt, Sac!

I know.

Was it more than 2 jokes drawn out to half an hour like the first few episodes this season (or a full hour in the case of the 2-parter)? Because I've been unimpressed with them up to this point.

Without giving away the parody, I agree with MC that this week's South Park is well worth a watch.

Minor spoiler:

I was too tired to watch last night when NM sent me a text, but I'm looking forward to seeing it.

In other news, I just came across a user submitted response to an article that said: Perhaps it will take few more months for them to realise that he's just Dubya with a smoother line in patter.

Boggling.

I heard on NPR this afternoon that the Obamas have already stated that whatever kind of dog they decided on, they planned to get a rescue. The HSUS has said that they will do their best to hold them to their commitment.

Good for them!

Ugh, I keep making the mistake of reading user comments on articles. I need to stop.

Today's doozy was, "Why is it that anytime someone disagrees with Osama...I mean Obama, they're labeled a bigot?" Yeah, that'll dissuade me from calling you a bigot, bigot.

republicanSASScostuming.com?

(You do realize that I have absolutely no idea what any of this means?)

Totally: I just don't understand why people can't spell "realize" correctly!

Sorry everyone, that South Park sucked. Two jokes. Funny for a second. Gotta admit, Sarah Palin as operative, kinda funny. But "the kids can't get help from their idiotic parents" bit is so freaking old on that show.

This season is pissing me off.

Obama is going to get his daughter a puppy and he's going to go through a rescue! He's a HERO!

eh, we liked the South Park. To each his (or her) own. :) I do agree that this season has been lacking, but I thought this one was more in line with last season.

Kevy: I think it's Single Action Shooter Society or somesuch. Basically old-fashioned gun shooting as an excuse to get dressed up for the appropriate time. Costumer events are funny like that ;)

(It's like the NRA for costumers, I think)

I find that 80% of them are of no use to me what so ever....
