Sorry, but I had hope that something might move.

The economy may have moved national politics, but I expect very little change overall, other than the lies will be told by a better class of speakers than before.

Whatever happens from now on… I believe completely that the USA made the right choice, of the two choices you had.

It’s amazing that Obama won all the major electoral states. That speaks volumes. California, New York, Florida, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania. The only real loss (in political terms only) is Texas, which is hardly a surprise.

His speech was very well delivered, and he seemed sincere (and no notes either!)

If nothing else… the USA can be proud that you have an intelligent and eloquent statesman as a President! It’s been a long time coming. He even got a few subtle jabs in at bush.

It’s a good day. Whether it’s a great day… time will tell.

Of course, things did go downhill for quite some time between the Civil War and World War II, but black men and women were invited to the White House. He probably forgot that until the Depression most minorities belonged to the Republican Party.

At least he knows when to withdraw, although if he had done it in January the Republican Party might be in better shape.

Paul Colgan: A quote from Obama on the phone call – he told McCain: “I need your help, you’re a leader on so many important issues.”

Lincoln Archer: Bush called Obama… here’s a quote from his spokeswoman:
“Mr President-elect, congratulations to you. What an awesome night for you, your family and your supporters. Laura and I called to congratulate you and your good bride”

I hope Obama is watching his back.

Lincoln Archer: McCain notes that a century ago it was considered an outrage for a black man to be INVITED to the white house, let alone elected to it.

That’s the man we’ve all come to despise and pity.

Paul Colgan: Where was this guy during the campaign? It’s inspirational stuff.

Lincoln Archer: This is a FANTASTIC speech.

Lincoln Archer: He notes with regret that Obama’s grandmother didn’t live to see this day.

Lincoln Archer: “We’ve come a long way from the old injustices that stained America”

Lincoln Archer: Pledges unity. “I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating him but offering goodwill”

(Yeah… right!! I believe that one!) LOL

There are TWO McCains?? He has a twin? Or, is he just Schizo? Sheesh.
