Obama went to the same school Bush went to, but Bush is an idiot and Obama is a messiah.

I don't see how someone can have their candidate, and move to another candidate on the sole reason they didn't like their running mate. They're on two opposite ends of the spectrum IMO, Obama on the ultra left and McCain on the slight right of moderate. It makes zero sense to me.

Yale undergrad and Harvard Business VS Columbia and Harvard. Comparable. Except that Columbia has more nut jobs and less lesbians.

My dad is Yale grad and My gramps is Columbia grad. Gramps is rolling in his grave, and my dads a lesbian.

Johnny MAc and Barac do not have similar backgrounds. At all. Ever. In a million years.

And 152 days on the Senate floor does not qualify you for anything except being a used car salesman. Maybe Obama applied the Law of Attraction or The Secret.

I'm thinking the US Naval Academy trumps all in leadership training. Just a hunch.

Thomas Jefferson and the rest of the founding fathers probably, no defintly, could not get nominated or elected. By either party.

I've been volunteering time and money since I was 18. Now I'll be "volunteering" more money to support Govt causes. Somebody is getting a cell phone and a bag of frozen shrimp on my dime.

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.

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.

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

I know, but that doesn't mean that I don't want him to drill domestically. I think that in the next couple of years (if not already), most of the nation will come to realize how crucial domestic drilling is.

Second duty is halt military spending, bring back some of our troops, and start paying back our loans.

What are you, nuts? Halt spending? Yeah, lets put a couple 100k more folks out of work.

Defense is the only thing Washington should be concerned about. How about controlling earmarks for useless shit like bridges to no where and research on ketchup viscosity.

I want my guys to have the best weapons systems in the world. Thats what will keep them safe. How about taking soldiers home from Europe and S.Korea?

Ah, new conflict started, I feel alive again!

i bet markets up 500+ pts today. maybe more.

murtha wasn't even close. i did vote against him. he is way out of touch and does nothing for anybody except johnstown and altoona.

While I appreciate his service to America, he always came off as a bumbling old man. Maybe he'll entertain us with some more ridiculous statements.

500? Futures already down, we shall see.

Obama wins.

Duh. Was it really in doubt? 3 weeks ago after the economic collapse, McCain was done. Even I knew that.

A little"luck" goes a long way. Bad luck for 401k's, good luck for Obama et al. I think Mac would have held on if Wall Street didnt blow up. Just one mans opinion.

Change for the chance to make change, I'm changing the way that folks can make change. Changing the change so you can make change, these time they are a changing. Wha? :lol:

DO you feel changed, and how will the change change you?

And who the hell votes for Al Franken, the Clown Union? Minnesotans can't be that silly. I know Coleman is not a rocket scientist, but what the hell is wrong with you folks up there? All Republicans wiped off the face of the earth in New England. Is it officially a gulag now? In CT Dems maintained a super majority in both houses, making it veto proof. And folks like me insignificant.

Hey Charles, how did the Panhandle go? That may be the only place on the planet I can go to feel wanted.(sob).

At least US Senate still has some sway.

I dont think it was a race vote at all. I'd vote fro an African-American in a heartbeat if his politics were in line with mine. Folks like JC Watts, Rice, Alan Steele and others. The A-A vote was always for Obama, and almost all were in areas that he would win anyway. White folks elected him. And it was about the economy. The only color folks cared about was green.

Should we start another thread, dealing with performance of Prez, Congress, and Senate? Kind of a watchdog thread? If taxes increase, and jobs drop, or stock market bosses get bonuses, I want this pointed out. If there is no real change, will your opinion change (theres that word again)?

Any good riots last nigh? No tire fires or overturned cars? Damn.

Check out the militant brother, and the great graphics.

Punk Funk!!

Real old scool

ROFL, i like this one

Fuck that gimme sum chitlins and cornbread(EDIT).

Listening to it right now.!!!!!! o/_|\///|||//// tHATS ME DANCING! Good one Ollie!!

I love how these more recent guys are getting off on the olschool. Snoops been allover it for years. Atomic Dog, Dog!

One Of My Favs

I'm sorry, you mis understood my reaction. I'm probably wrong but I thought your Davy Dukes were showing.

WHoooooa, buddy You want to be careful how you phrase stuff. I really eat that stuff and really grew up in a predominantly black neighborhood in New Haven. Don't mistake my familiarity with the culture as mocking that culture.

Lets put it this way. I get along with everybody. And I draw the line at chitlins.

Collard greens and Ham hocks. It's soul food, dude. I grew up in a predominantly black neighborhood.

Geez, some people are so white. :lol:

Somebody git me some collards and hocks!

Of course his new National Anthem will be----"One Nation under a Groove"

I'm dancin' in my LR right now!!!

Feets don't fail me now!!!

That whole album is real good. Good tunes, and a lot of rap stars and such paying tribute to one of the guys that started the genre. Check the album credits out, Prince, Dre, Cube, Flav, Red Hot Chillis, Humpty, plus the usual P-Funk suspects.

These guys, in one iteration or another have been around since 1959. I've seen 'em twice, might have been the only cracker in the room. They played for like 4 hours, 17 different musicians, rotating on different songs. Only the best concert I've ever been to.

Parliament, Bootsy's Rubber Band, Brides of Funkenstein, Funkadelic.

Look out for Sir Nose DeVoidofunk, he'll steel your groove!

I AM Old School!!! HaHaa!

My funk God.

From "Hey Man, Smell My Finger"

Obama Theme Song

Promentalshitbackwashpsychosisenemasquad!

Make my funk the P-Funk, I wants to git funked up!

Think, it ain't illegal yet!

The absentee ballot BS happened to a bunch of people I know too and the Election Board said they had to overnight the ballots for them to count. Our system needs to be improved at some point. Of course, my friends could have just registered where they lived instead. It's too bad that the people who are affected the most by elections and had no other way to vote were screwed. It's pitiful. Too bad this isn't like American Idol and you can't just vote from your cell phone You'd think that military bases could have their own polling places but I can see where that could be bad under certain circumstances.

Anyone think it's odd that General Patreaus said he doesn't vote? It is possible to be loyal to the candidate that you didn't vote for, I mean I have been paying taxes for the past 8 years (and getting it all back because I was a student making less than my standard deductions )

Fixed. First place with a nice little cushion for now

He's trying to stay apolitical I suspect, hedging his"bet". Either one can be his boss. I get it. He's a soldier, not a politician.

Hmmm...Maybe we should end this stupid early voting, provisional votes, and just keep it simple. Seems too many ways to mess this up. If you can't get your vote in on time, maybe your not qualified to vote. Lots to consider here, and no simple answer.

+1 on the GINTS!

Voting BS has begun/ continues.

Overseas military ballots were sent out late, why and how? 10's of thousands of servicemen and women may not have their votes counted. Those guys should be given tons of leeway to get their votes counted, regardless of the outcome or gap.

Black Panthers intimidate would-be voters in Philly. Where is Sharpton and Jesse now?

Alright, a Bugsy fan!

You are correct sir it was a Palin rally. Enough of this line by line, I dont have the attention span.

I will say this, I wish Obama well and success. If he is elected. That means success for most of us. I'm tired of the hate directed towards Bush and his cohorts. They don't deserve all that BS. I assume that Obama will move to the center like Bubba did. He must realize the US is a Center/Right country. He may actually piss off his lefty supporters.

I'm not harbouring any hate for the man, at all. I believe he means well and will do his best to right the ship. I hope that folks will realize that McCain ran an honorable campaign, perhaps to a fault. He left Wright and Ayers off the table, never made race an issue, and left Mrs. Obama out of it. He is an American hero, with a long history of service to his country. Its too bad that the Vietnam era vet won't get a bit of redemption from his election, if he loses. Those men and women were disparaged for doing what we asked of them, and it might have put a nice feather in their caps.

We have seen some real bad stuff come out of DC this last couple of years. Regardless of party affiliation, we should all hold their feet to the fire if they try to screw us over again. If the tax thing gets out of hand, if the war on terror goes sour, if CEO's keep getting bonuses and folks don't rebound, I expect all you guys that support Obama to jump up and say something. It's in the worlds best interest for America to be strong. Some folks will be dancing in the streets, OJ Simpson style, but thats ok. Many won't even know what they voted for, but thats ok. And many will feel unrepresented, and thats ok too. Things will settle down, and we'll go back to work and try to fix this thing.

Can someone please smack Allen Combs. Just once, for me?

Till they replace you with an Indian

Guatemalans are in vogue on the Gold Coast! Take a ride to the Rye, NY MetroNorth train station and get as many as you need.

Not my intention at all. Just a general observation. I work for folks that have a lot of zeros in their bank accounts, and the staff of accountants and lawyers they keep is impressive. Plus these folks also donate a TON of cash to worthy causes. I wonder how that giving gets affected when the tax burden increases. Then again, a couple of these guys worked on Wall Street, one guy was a huge name in hedge fund management. Wonder how their doing now?

Ah Greenwich, CT. Home to the ridiculously rich, and many of my clients.

Done? You were done is May.

*cough* Keating *cough*

Really? Bill Krystal considers him a moderate.

See the Keating comment above.

I totally agree with you on this one, although I called him a moron, not a color.

Joe put himself on the scene and continues to do so. He is campaigning for McCain, although not sure he is actually helping McCain by what he is saying. I hear he has a record deal also.

Keep in mind if there was a similar person for Obama you can bet your ass the Republicans would have done the same.

Really? So if the Neo-Nazis endorse McCain, that means he is a friend to them? The only reason they endorse him is because McCain is a continuation of Bush.

and McCain rallies have people shouting Obama is a Muslim and to kill him. Works both ways.

That is exactly what you have to do.

Have the Neo_Nazis endorsed McCain? News to me so enlighten me. And so far , as dispicable as they are, Neo-Nazis have yet to blow up American citizens and planes. They like Obama because they see him as a weak link in the terror war. All they know is power and violence.

Maroon is Bugs Bunny-ese for moron...you may be too young to remember that episode!

I quote :"Watta maroon" w/ Brooklyn accent.

The cries for Obama to be killed at a rally for McCain is pure urban legend and never happened.

They asked for Joes opinion, they were in his driveway and they pissed him off. So does that warrant an invasive background check from an Obama supporter in Ohio govt? Scary.

And as far as Keating, McCain more than atoned for his involvement and was on the for front of reform and oversight in the banking industry. Lets watch Frank and Dodd do the same thing. Don't hold your breath, they won't. I was referring to the Chicago political machine run by the Daly's. Not much change, dirty politics as usual.

There are tons of Obama supporters raging out there. Many are press folks and ACORN employees, check the Daily Kos, and Huffington Post. Folks there wanted Tony Snow to die of his cancer and called for the assassination of the VP. Hanging Palin in effigy? Lets see what would happen if it was Obama. Not sure I see that kind of hate coming from the right. I won't even get into MoveOn.Org.

I almost feel sorry for folks taking your position. I can't wait for my big fat toldyaso. Still not convinced McCain loses. I'm praying for the train wreck and the compulsory civil disobedience in protest. I love watching riots on TV. I may get a couple going at the same time so I can watch all the news folks loose their minds and scramble to find all the voter fraud. OHPLEASEOHPLEASOHPLEASE let it happen.

Oh well should be an interesting night. Vote early and vote often, which ever park bench you list as your address. No matter what, democracy will win out.

There are a lot of us here getting hit for 1/3. Its just how much do we dodge to avoid paying for poorly conceptualized programs. Should I end up paying more I assure you I will end up paying less. I already have money off shores and several companies under my name. IMHO, and I share this boat with a lot of my friends, we will not pay anymore taxes to fund the lazy and un employed. Lazy and un employed are not the same thing. You are laid off it happens. Take your hand out and pull yourself up. But when something like 60% off people collecting have been un employed 1 year or longer thats BS. Go work at Taco Bell. Its better than nothing. I am sick or america and its entitlement issues. The upper class have the same problems but we can affords our own stuff. I am sick of hearing people bitch they cannot have a PS3, bigscreen tv, european vacation, Patek, whatever. Work for it!

I loved the lady at the grocery store yesterday. Cell phine,nails, hairdo, what looked like a real fur coat. Buys frozen shrimp, pays with food stamps, then goes out side and gets in a cab with her girl friend similarly dressed. Poor?

Teen moms with designer jeans and a cell phone. I'm paying so she can eat? Thats not poor. Thats expertly using the system.

Thats what will happen, folks with means will find a way to not pay more, tax revenue declines. Budget will not balance. Reduce taxes, folks spend or invest, tax revenue increases. Lower spending. Budget balances. Magic. I'm Milton Fucking Friedman.

I'm done making my decision. Surprise.

Change? He came from the Chicago political machine lead by Daley. Many oh his cohorts indicted.

Obama has never reached across the aisle or voted against his parties policy. Ever.

Most liberal politician in Senate. And top 5 tax and spender.

Shady associations and cloudy past. Associated with voter reg fraud.

I totally dislike his economic policy, and his pitch for socialized medicine.

Biden is a maroon.

I can't stand his comrades in Congress and Senate.

Afraid of judges he might appoint.

Very wary of the media coverage or lack there of, the stifling of opinions, and the way his minions have gone after Joe the Plumber. That could be you getting opened up after you dissent.

He has been endorsed by Hezbollah, Hugo Chavez, an Al Queda leader, among others not on our "friends" list.

San Francisco radio douche calls for someone to kill Joe the Plumber. Nice. Thats the kind of people we'll be dealing with for next 4-8 yrs.

You can't possibly be right about anything, your a Republican, or at least not an Obamite.

I'll vote my conscience and hope people govern with common sense and practical application of sound economic and social theory. Thats the best we can hope for, I suppose.

And if I'm real lucky I'll get to watch the riots when McCain pulls off a last second upset. Every one loves a train wreck, don't they?

Not a bad life if you can get it, huh? Hot wife, awesome ranch. I don't hunt, I fish, but I get it.

I heard Gene Simmons was asked about running. He basically said "Not enough money for the hassle". DA MAN.
