...wow...

...fucking thank you America!

Now let's just hope Obama can really do what he says and bring ALL OF US together...Democrats, Independents, AND Republicans!
What an amazing night!

Fuck, I'd hug Bill O'Reilly at this point!

Talk later- gonna watch his acceptance speech!

Hey Jaffe, how did that 8 channels work out for you? I was flipping between Fallout 3 and CNN. Then out of no where he won. I was in WTF mode for sure.

The next big battle ground is the School Boards of the US where some members haven't even passed high school let alone higher education.

I've been following the election, and I'm subscribed to your RSS feed. I know the man will make decisions and not be simply a figure head that I've come to understand a president to be since Polical Science class in High School. I hope he makes the decisions that will not only help unite the country but solve some of the problems the way a logical person would. Congradulation America

Kofman said...

Oh I almost forgot, a few posts ago you asked what the next generation divide will be. You know once we get pasted race, color, and even culture.

I bet you its Aliens!

At least we know the South is still the South. Somethings will never "change."

I worked at the polls today from 5 am to 8 pm in Chicago. Long day, but in the end when I saw this, I knew it was worth it:

That speech blew my mind. Even doubters on the Red side have to agree that it was inspiring. Wow. Now to get a better job... David, you guys need any artists at Eat, Sleep, Play?

Alastor Mused said...

I got so excited!
Congratulations President Obama!
January 20 here we come!

Btw Did Prop 8 get passed? Hopefully No won.

The only thing that really pisses me off is that people are saying America isn't racist any more because we have a black president. How fucking ignorant can you be. There's a bigger bad side to politics than the good side, the bad side is that all of the dumb asses seem to chose this topic to talk about.

Joel said...

from the rest of the world to America, all i have to say is, congratulations on the first step.

David, you are right about one thing. Lets hope he does keep his word. If he doesn't, I'm going to rip on him senselessly and it will be on anyone who voted for him.

What a BIG WIN for African Americans! This is amazing! Thank You America for putting the first Black Man in Presidency!! THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!! You too Dave!!

Oh yeah! Obama won. He has a lot on his plate to do, lets hope he can deliver.

"we are screwed. cant wait until all he promised never happens. and im glad this is over now cause hopefully not even a quarter of your posts will be about politics."

You know, I thought about posting a proper, logical response to this increadibly defeatist, sad comment, but instead I'll just say "eat my balls".

"Lets hope he does keep his word. If he doesn't, I'm going to rip on him senselessly and it will be on anyone who voted for him."

for believing that this country has the potential to be better than what we are now, and voting for a man who said would help us get there? regardless if he does or doesn't, you can't fault people for wanting a better life for themselves.

Miguel said...

oh yeah...I thought this

Obama . . . I'm elated about one thing, what it means about racism in America. Obviously racism still exists, but at the same time, what does this say about the alleged glass ceiling? If you can be black and President, surely there are no limits.

As for politics, how can we POSSIBLY know what to expect? Look, it's not like McCain handled it any differently, but he's out of the picture now so I don't have to be unbiased. Basically all Obama did was say, "Look, I'll do everything, everything! A stuffed turkey in every kitchen! Most importantly, I'll give everyone who doesn't have money money! Hear that America? I'm going to give you money!"

I'm hoping what he can really offer and what his real plans are have a great deal more sense, substance, and plausibility.

Luzid said...

Yeah, but Bill O'Loofa would shank you if you did.

All I can say is THANK YOU AMERICA for repudiating - by a 2:1 margin - the failed, backward, hateful politics of the rightwing.

Hughes. said...

Let's face it, he can never measure up to the hype, but the GOP needed a good hard kick in the ass, and he'll have a hard time doing worse than the last 8 years of Cheney-vision.

Glad that the often repeated maxim that a black man could never be elected President can be consigned to the scrapheap.

Hopefully the world will start to remeber all the things they used to love about America and let the image of an intolerant, far-right, warmongering, insular nation slip away, and recognise there was always a better America frustrated and in the background.

so, when OB screws up the country, will you be just as critical of him as you were of bush? doubtful...

Hey David, never commented on your blog but I just wanted to say it is awesome and I really like to hear you talking, you are funny but you also say the right things!
Keep it up!
And congratulations to Obama, although I'm not American I was happy to see that he won, obviously!
Cheers, take care!

yeah, I heard about his won on the radio last night... Never thought this would happen in my lifetime, but these are good times ot be alive...

I am skeptical about his speech. Still it makes sense to me that a man who is half black, half white, whose white mother raised him yet has embraced his black side, look at his wife for example, just may have the will to work towards a truly united nation.

I heard that Obama won at the end of the Indecision '08 special on Comedy Central! I didn't believe it at first. I had to check all of the other stations to make sure it was right.
