** OBAMA WAS HANDED THE PRESIDENCY TODAY FOLKS **

[President Decider]

The Repubs packed it in .... they put thier idealogy in a suitcase and climbed to the top of the Brooklyn Bridge and jumped .... head first and taking our financial markets with them.

This is what happens when you put your idealogy over country and refuse to budge.

So thank you Repubs! In the midst of a very sad day you in essance handed Sen. Barack Obama the #44th Presidency of the United States of America.


Last photo taken of McCain just a few moments ago. He's somewhere on the bottom deck taking a major dump from the constipation.

1. I hope you are right or we are only going to keep sinking but at least it will be together

:kicking:

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

2. I agree, but we need to keep our eyes on the prize until the fat lady sings. . . .

This is no time to let up.

[Fleshdancer]

3. WHY does he still want this job?

Here's a broken EVERYTHING Obama! Enjoy!

I'll vote for him, but I won't envy him.

[GetTheRightVote]

5. Who wouldn't want to be the next FDR ? I hope he makes it...

[President Decider]

6. The greatest of leaders thrive on the challenge. Obama has the chance to go down in history

As one of the greatest Presidents EVER!

[Fleshdancer]

8. fine. answer my question with something silly like logic.

:hi:

You make a very good point.

[TankLV]

18. Conversely - it makes bush* the WORST ever, by any measure...!

WE all predicted that EVERYTHING this FUCK UP would touche would TURN TO SHIT!

EVERYTHING.

He has failed at every fucking thing he has ever ventured into.

[YOY]

12. There is a huge monument to the last Democratic President who fixed things in DC

There is an Airport and a Government office Building named after the guy who started this mess.

Definition of Irony: Naming those after a guy who touted small government and shit on the Air Traffic controllers.

[TankLV]

19. You forgo the damn DAM...but the FBI building was named after the cross-dressing director,

not the president...

[YOY]

23. I was talking about Reagan (Reagan National Airport and Fed Building)

n/t

[TankLV]

28. OK - there are so many repuke fuck-ups that have been president that I forgot about that idiot...

and it's definitely easy to mistake the current crisis with the last major repuke fuck-up in the twenties

[AwakeAtLast]

15. I have pondered that question for quite some time - during the primaries

The answer I finally came up with is this: Obama cannot possibly be doing this for himself. He has seen what has been going on in the past 8 (even 20) years and I think he feels *morally bound* to do what he can to make our country better. He started small, but as more people noticed and the better job he did, the more people began to put their trust in him. Only a person with true intestinal fortitude could put themselves in this fish bowl willingly. He is doing this for every American that is not a member of the elite (how they can put that title on him, I don't know). And he will do a great job as President because he will have *earned* the title instead of stealing it!

:hi:

[ocean girl]

4. I really, really hope that you are right!

[4_Legs_Good]

7. Are you sure, though, that Obama is going to want it

Talk about a poison pill. This country is going to need some serious work by whomever takes over.

9. It's not November 4th yet...

Wish it was.

[scheming daemons]

10. Pyrrhic Victory

[wildflowergardener]

11. I don't know

I lot of democrats voted against it too.

Meg

[President Decider]

13. ANYONE voting against Obama or not voting at is voting against thier own better interest

If you're in the below $250K per year bracket.

[wildflowergardener]

14. True

True, but that hasn't stopped people in the past.

24. People are confused about this crisis, but at least know this: things aren't right in Washington

To most of America when it gets this messy and partisan they just lump 'em all together . . . and of course the person where the buck stops. After today's freak show it'll just reinforce that Washington's broken and we need a change. THAT'S why today very well clinched it for Obama. It's not going to be so close in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Michigan and Wisconsin now. Or Colorado. And we may even get Florida and Ohio. Virginia and Nevada would be icing on the cake.

[Arkana]

16. There are about 36 days left.

Anything can happen. Forge ahead, don't let up.

[Bucky]

17. Bush has another 15 weeks left in which to burn it down.

I can't guarantee there'll be a White House left by Jan 20th.

[agentS]

22. There isn't a whole lot left to burn

It's wildfire season in the West and apparently in DC as well.

What is there left of our country besides stockpiles of nuclear weapons/waste and Weapons of Mass Distraction?

[onefreespiritedchick]

20. I sure hope so

I have a good feeling, as well...

[progressiveforever]

21. Appreciate your enthusiasm- but let's work like hell

I want a landslide. The churches are starting their shit here in Ohio. The abortion crap is in full force.

[Abugface]

25. NEVER ...

underestimate the ability of the Republicans to steal an election.

[Greg K]

26. Bush=Hoover. Obama=FDR? Let's make it so. nt

[LynneSin]

27. Let's not plan the victory party yet. The republicans will stoop low to steal this thing

But honestly, the fact that the republicans did little to pass this bill says alot about their support for McCain. I think the party is already planning for 2012

[AkFemDem]

29. I feel bad for him. He will inherit a nightmare.
