I was reading one of my local papers & they were talking about how the Obama administration is going to be...Then I see reports on the TV about Obama's election rally in Grant Park planned for the day after the election....Man it would be great to see a "Dewey beats Truman" moment. I mean they really think they have this in the bag.....I hate to see the aftermath because I'm sure the backlash would be worse than the "hanging chad" moments in Florida, but these people are so smug & sure of themselves it drives me nuts!

It's true. They think that nobody could possibly be on the conservative side. There is a lot more Obama crap out there, but I don't think a sign changes minds.

what's really sad is that all the black people are just looking at it as a color thing. Now lets see if he helps his people by making them tax exempt for a life time restiution for there slave antcesters. then give out goverment land to give them a piece of the pie. then pardon all the black felons so they can vote for him agian and own guns. now that's a scary thought and perspective. and why is it always he's black? didn't he come out of a white womb? what change are we gonna see, it's gonna take a long time to fix bush's mess. and that will always be the excuse.

Sportsterboy, I don't understand what you mean by Bushes mess? You have to remember the Democrats controlled the house and senate and they had more to do with the economy than Bush. I will always believe and I speak from past experiences that taking the war to the terrorist was the right thing to do, even in Iraq. I also believe that history will eventually prove that right. One thing you can be assure of and that is that the Iraq people have now really have something to be very concerned about now. If he pulls us out to early in Iraq there could be a backlash against him that could hurt him.

I was sitting in the waiting room of my doctors office yesterday and there was a very young skinny girl with spiked hair talking on her cell phone. She was sitting close enough to where I could hear the whole conversation. Yep, it was about McCain and it sounded like she was trying to convince somebody else about voting for Obamba because McCain was to old and had sold out to Bush. I really think that is what the whole younger population of this country thinks and has become. They can't think for themselves nor do they see the whole story nor do they look down the road to see what will happen. But, you can't tell them that as they feel that they have the right answers and know it all. Obamba did a very good job convincing people like her. Now lets see what happens when he says well wait a minute I've looked at things closer and we will have to reevaluate this a bit.

I can only hope that we're wrong.

At first I was thinking what the liberals' excuse was going to be when they lose their freedom and pay half their incomes to taxes, but that's what they want. I agree that the Iraqi people are going to be hung out to dry. Instead of all those Americans dying for change in Iraq, it will be for nothing. Again, I hope I'm wrong.

Canadians have cheaper drugs and universal health care, but it doesn't mean their health care is better.

Someone commented last night that Americans have finally overcome hate, which to me was a comment saying that it was all about race.

Ugh. I hope I'm wrong.

i agree, but i also believe the media played a big part of getting him elected....a very biased media..........and i dont understand why.
sad thing about the schools is they are rewriting history so the students have no idea what actually happened.........

Boy Chuck, I couldn't agree more with you. I to simply don't understand why their was such a positive media frenzy to support Obamba. I guess maybe the media was so against Bush that they simply took it out on McCain, but are they not suppose to be impartial.

I personally feel that the majority of the country has truly walked away and turned their back on a great man and possibly one of the best possible presidents this country could have had.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear the younger people of this country say that they to believe there was no Holocaust.

Yep the media & all the new voters that got brain washed did this to us & like Abby said I just hope where wrong till I'am proven wrong I will respect the office he's getting but not the man just like I did when old Bill & hill were in the white house
In the past I have talked to some folkes & many of the that where from Canada & there where down here because the health care was better

You can probably tell from my posts that I don't like him, trust him or respect him and I have lost the respect of this country to for voting him in. I just can't fathom the thought of him in the white house. I like many others fought in a war for this country but not to see it go in the direction it is now going.

I can't hold it any longer. Obama does concern me, however George "W" Bush and his administration are the exact reason Obama got the election. Obama and the media ran his campaign squarely against Bush not McCain. W is the worst President this nation has had in Many Long years. That evil POS has done more to limit our Rights and Liberties than the Clinton Administration ever dreamed. He is a brazen egotistical wannabe dictator and war monger, feeding his rich cronies and their businesses off the lives of service men and women, and taxpayers. I said to friends right after the ’04 election that the Democrats could run a blind goat for President in ’08 and take the office and apparently they heard me and listened. W has finally bumped Janet Reno off the top of the list for the special corner in Hell, since He is directly responsible for turning this nation over to the Socialists. I hope they share the room honestly. McCain lost the election, but WE as a Nation have lost. Any and everything that the New Democrat Administration does to us can be laid squarely on the shoulders of W and his Cronies. By the way I have given up and didn't even bother to vote in this mockery of an election, and before you spout about my effect on the outcome my home state went with McCain.

At least you knew what Bush was going to do and yes you should have voted even if it was against Obamba Boy.

Just look @ who owns the newspapers, TV & radio stations - although it ain't the easist thing to do, as this broadcasting co. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of that holding co., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ..... on & on it goes. But what it boils down to is those who own the media outlets have an extremely liberal agenda & that's the way they'll always slant things - not just editorials either, the "news" itself.

Art has it right, the media is and has been a left-wing propaganda machine. Between the media and the obscene amount of money Obama's political machine raised, McCain didn't stand a chance with the brainwashing of all the commercials on television..that half-hour infomercial was obscene to say the least. Something needs to be done about how money is raised and limits to even the playing field. The old addage that money wins an election couldn't have been more evident than this election.

I may have voted for McCain, but I wish Obama and the heavily one-sided Democrat House and Senate to do their best. I'm a registered Independent after years as a Republican..I wanted McCain as much as the moderate maverick he is as much as some sort of check and balance in DC. The Dems own this country right now..I wish em the best. My only real consolation to Obama is maybe he can repair the US image worldwide that's been badly damaged by the Bush administration (a guy I voted for twice, but admit screwed up heavily being too much of a lonesome cowboy and hiring too many inept cronies from Texas..no offense to Texas, a state I love dearly).
