As a longtime Washingtonian, I wholeheartedly agree with the comment about elite Washington Establishment since I too had long been suspected about it, since all the so-called commanders-in-chief are more of the same when it comes to truly major policies which are actually laid out by establishment in Washington,DC, and then spoon-feed to whoever occupys 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. God Bless America!

A day to remember?..November 3, 2008!

The day that they United States of America ceased to exist as a free and independent capitalist nation. The day that the pledge of allegiance became a worthless statement and the Constitution was reduced to the status of toilet paper. The day that the principles and ideals that once served as the foundation of the nation were trampled underfoot and banished to the realm of oblivion. The day that the decline and fall of the greatest nation in the world reached the point of no return beyond the possibility of rescue or salvation.

Congratulations to all of the lazy mindless gullible greedy selfish idiots responsible for the travesty who are only capable of sucking off of the *** of the real working citizens of the country and stealing their hard earned money and property for themselves. Congratulation for ushering in the change you so earnestly desired which will establish the first totalitarian government of the United States.

Congratulations to those wonderful racists, those immoral scum bags, those incredible extremists, those stalwarts of socialism, those tremendous lovers of fascism you''ve managed to succeed at the task that all of the previous enemies of the United States of America could not.

helenahandb reading your comments, you are clearly racist.

CBSisPravda how odd that you would cherish the fall of our country, because your candidate didn''t win.

Joanne600 wow where did you get the crystal ball of doom?

It means that from future campaign we might not have to hear politician air their dirty laundrey, but rather talk about issues. His win also means that inspite of what people say you can''t do you can say "Yes I Can". Poverty denial of loans, foreclosures have been the topic of many communities for many years, and its not all our problem so we must help everyone. His win means American now believe in the constitution. A Change for the better is here.

LOL - get over it. Rush Limbaugh isn''t going away and neither are conservative values. Don''t listen to him if you don''t want to, I mean this is a free country.

Posted by shochikibo 2008 "What a great example you set. You are clearly not focused on skin color . . . are you?"

If you''re trying to suggest that I''m racist you''re barking up the wrong tree. I couldn''t care less if someone is purple. I have a tendency to look at who they are, what they stand for and what kind of person they are. I guess it''s easier to make insinuations than it is to consider the truth of the statement.

MLK hoped for a color blind society where the color of someone''s skin was not an issue at all. But, quoting MLK all the while, we have the leaders of the black community like Jesse, Al and Rev. Wright who continually feed the fires of racism and insist to black folks that they are no more than miserable victims and it''s white society''s fault. And their solution to the misery is.... what? That society should give them stuff? What about planting the idea that maybe if they get an education and work hard they can improve their life? What about working within the black community to help them change their views of themselves as perpetual victims and help them realise they are just as able to get ahead as anyone but it takes hard work and determination?

I hope to see the time when black folks will take responsibility for their own lives and stop waiting for the government to give them something. My hope is for them to finally begin to see themselves as not just black, but as just people, in the same boat, with the same opportunities, as the rest of us

I''''m just tickled to death to hope that now Rush Limbaugh and all the other wind-bags will shut up and get a life.

So will Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc.

[sampson4luvsadoni]

Just keep whining and complaining and see how far it gets you. My big question is did he ever present proof that he is even leagally alowed to be our President? You know a natural born citizen of the USA. If not the election was not admisable anyway. So lets not complain about not getting our own way and make sure our president is leagally OUR PRESIDENT. In the mean time, stop whining, its anoying.

[mswolfestock]

mccarthy51 and all the rest of you -

Quit gorging on sour grapes . . . . . .

AND QUIT YOUR WHINING.

Where is all of your hot air about loving your country?

I''m just tickled to death to hope that now Rush Limbaugh and all the other wind-bags will shut up and get a life.

Where are all those Bush supporters that were always saying, "he''s our president! Just shut up and show your patriotism and support our president?" Where did they go? Oh right. They are the rightists....and they are always right and only they can be right. And right they are, and right they must be. What happened to COUNTRY FIRST!?!?! Oh. Right. Their country only. The right one.
