I saw that too. What the hell is he gonna do? Sit in a room with Obama and a mirror and say, "I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And dog gone it, people like me."

But seriously, that's the same state that elected Jesse "the Body" Ventura as their governor, so are you THAT surprised.

What happened to "the content of his character not the color of his skin "? MLK says we fail.

History has been made. We elected the first Hawaiian to be Prez. And he's as white as he is black.

It's the nuts in Congress and Senate that scare me not Obama. Until he appoints the loons to courts.

I say again: Al Franken? WTF! Minnesota should secede to Canadia

Al Franken is a nut in a half

obama's not necessarily the greatest but i'm pretty happy he's in office over mccain.

Explain. Why? What basis are you making your decision that Obama is not necessarily the greatest but a better more viable option than McCain?

not so quick... the AP retracted on calling the state for Franken this morning. Apparently, Coleman won this morning by 571 votes, but that small of a number calls for a mandatory recount, according to MN state law.

What I like is how everybody is in love with McCain's concession speech, and how they would have voted for "that McCain".

And Young Burnsy, please explain how this came down to the VPs. Guarantee you half of Obama's "constituency" has no idea who Biden is.

Wow, Coleman could have the distinction of being beaten by Jesse Ventura and Stewart Smallie.

Coleman and Franken? What the hell are 2 NY Jews doing in Minnesota, eh?

Cult of Personality.

Post election speeches, they said the same thing about John Kerry.
"Property is the fruit of labor...property is desirable...is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built." - Abe Lincoln

(i know that is not your point Danny)

ok, so what if he is not a old white man? does not help that Obama is the MOST left senator in history and shows and has connections to anti-American socialist connections... that does not back the fact that it is better than voting for an old white guy.

and Change for the worse.

Well, now African-Americans can no longer blame "The Man". Maybe this will help welfare reform in a completly unintended way.

I do like his mantra, if not all his policies. It's a Ghandi quote but a good one ... " You must be the change you want to see in the world".

I picked a pretty circuitous route and arguably cheated slightly, but I'm going to get there

the only thing that will "be the change" will the the increase in the welfare system because jobs will go overseas.

He told me he voted fore McCain/Biden and when i asked him which of McCain's policies he agreed with he picked out many of Obama's policies. Dave what is a typical obama supporter?

  • A person that does not do their own research and weigh both parties correctly
  • A person that is tired of George Bush and associates McCain with George Bush and that the next 4 years will be the same as Bush
  • That George Bush was responsible for the Wall Street issues and housing market
  • A person that does not want a "stuffy old white guy" in office again so they vote for the other candidate
  • A person that moral values are compromised because they want "change"
  • A person that points fingers back in the opposite direction because they can not relate or associate moral issues in a candidate with their own morals


I am really surprised that Obama does not support Gay Marriage... then it hit me... Muslims do not support gay marriage.... also it is funny that Obama has still not said he does not and did not associate with Bill Ayers... it is amazing that this guy can not even get a Secret Clearance (because of his terrorist and anti-American ties) yet is our next president.
