He's well over 300 now.
After 8 long years, the good guys have won again.
Karl Marx would be proud. ;DIf you're going to melt, do it right, come unglued... it's ok...
Left and Right wing are on the same damn bird.
I have strong political views that are not popular with the left or right wing camps. I believe the US presidential election is not a super bowl where we should root for our team. Yet a great many vote Republican because and only because their dad did. Left and Right wing are on the same damn bird.Just to let you know, "team mentality" in American Politics has been a big criticism here by myself and others on the left. Statements on it have been made even tonight so I respectfully disagree... bigtime... I'm not about to blindly follow like I do with my Broncos ;D

Case in point:
In Clinton's last year in office he introduced a bill to congress that would have had sweeping changes to law enforcement on federal levels. The republicans were up in arms. This was on outrage. The bill failed. Every bit of it made it into the patriot act. If people read more and watched their favorite spin zone a little less they would easily see that what a republican can not get into law, a democrat can. It happens every year and no one ever says a thing. Why? Because no one reads the bills. They watch the pretty news woman who tells them what her editor decided they needed to know. The editor BTW makes his choices based on ratings and cooperate sponsors (commercials).
Those who say Republicans are evil or Democrats can't be trusted have voluntarily blinded themselves to almost half of the total info on an matter. I say almost half because once you grasp this concept, then you have to realize there are more views than left and right on any issue. To assume from jump street there will only be 2 solutions to any problem, well most children see the flaw in that logic.
Just my 2 cents. I am happy for Obama and his family, but I do not expect change. Not any good change anyway. I expect a full economic collapse late this year. I expect the middle class will be taking a step back for a while. I expect the wars to continue. I would expect it all with McCain too. You just do not get to that level without making deals with the powers that be.
By July, we'll see T-shirts, hats and bumper stickers that say the following: "Don't blame me, I voted for McCain."
In a year, he will be assassinated.
Since you speak with such authority, ...that must mean you must know something.
I think that warrants a serious visit from the Secret Service! Angry
...and I hope you get one, ...or two, ...or three or four. Just to be thorough! Tongue.
Congrats to Obama. He ran a very successful campaign. We should enter his presidency with an open mind and evaluate from here.
