Prepare to Experience your First Global Orgasm

[jasonberlin]

In a few days, America will ask us if we will take Barack Obama as our lawfully wedded president, to have and to hold, for better or worse, til 4 or 8 years do us part. Who knows, we could lose our nerve at the altar. A thousand things could go wrong with the ceremony. And apparently a ton of guests have just been dis-invited. But it'll happen. It will. And like any relationship, in two years the fire will be gone and we'll feel comfortable burping and farting around each other. But let's talk about the reception party.

Barring massive, cataclysmic system failure across America, the night of November 4th could be the most intense moment of shared worldwide ecstasy you and I will ever experience in our lifetimes. Humanity will erupt in a cheer that will ring the planet like a bell. And despite our epic ignorance, despite the legendary ugliness of our failures, in spite of all common sense, the world will forgive America as a mother forgives her only son.

A few more parties like this and the world could become a very popular place.

1. Easy on the bottle chap

[roguevalley]

29. I am planning a phenom dinner and drinkies that night (non-alkie--

have medications for ailments that preclude booze) and I'm going to tape the whole damned night so that I can play it again and again. HI, WORLD! WE'RE BACK!

[Indi Guy]

2. Not so fast...

Are you working to get out the vote?

[jasonberlin]

3. Good question - and hell yeah!

Phone banking, contributing, blogging, talking to everyone I know. But you have the absolute right attitude.

[Indi Guy]

5. You're a Great American...

:)

[Indi Guy]

6. Now you get my "R"...

...well deserved.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

4. This is going to be the biggest global celebration since the end of WWII

No shit. A sane leader has been restored to primacy on the world stage. Thank Dog for Barack Obama!

[Indi Guy]

7. Thank God...

...that sanity has an advocate.

Thank Obama for his hard work over these many months of uncertainty.

The RNC made the same mistake as Hillary -- they discounted Barack's resume and experience as a community organizer. I mean really ...how does one dismiss a savvy Harvard Constitutional Law Professor with local chops? :shrug:

[Whalestoe]

8. Beautiful post.

[roguevalley]

30. Inaugeration day will be, honey. imagine the diplomatic corp that

will be there. :-D

[jasonberlin]

35. Ah, to see W hand over power to Bam-Bam...

...that'll be amazing!

[jasonberlin]

36. I'm thinking of going to the Inauguration...

Do you think it'll be amazing or better to see at home on tv with friends? I bet there'll be 1000s of Inauguration Parties all over the country... Knock on wood a thousand times...

[TxRider]

31. Nahh

I think the biggest in my lifetime was when we landed on the moon...

That was a huge global event, with everyone on the planet holding their breath and glued to the TV...

Politics just doesn't compare to a human achievement such as that was in it's day.

[jasonberlin]

42. And it's because Obama's campaign made about a million great decisions and only a few bad.

[Andrushka]

9. "forgive"?

Not sure about that. But hell, we'll all have a lot more faith in your collective sanity!

That said, the thing that has kept my faith in Americans these past years has been DU (and Mike Malloy), and I have always known there are a majority of sane, decent people there and this has all been an aberration.

Global orgasm? You betcha! We are all getting lubed up right now. Er, so to speak.

Go America! Go Obama! Go DU!!! Yes, yes, yessssss!!

[Swamp Rat]

10. Geauxbama!!!

[Kaleko]

11. So true.

Americans who don't get out of the US much have no idea how closely this nation's every move is followed elsewhere - like that of a compulsory dance partner.

We are the world, and we want to dance with Obama, that much is for sure.

[jasonberlin]

12. Exactly! Earth for Obama '08!

[Kaleko]

14. You are majorly plugged in, Jason -

and don't let anyone tell you otherwise, 'kay?

Welcome to DU! Enjoy the cosmic view :)

[Shanti Mama]

15. absolutely! I don't think there's a country in the world

that had more than 20% support for McCain in a world map that was posted here a few weeks ago.

Where I am, EVERYONE who knows about anything expect their own poverty is for Obama, though many liked Bush and most still love America.

[Life Long Dem]

13. Well said!

:toast: I'd toast to whatever your drinking!

[Lochloosa]

16. ALERT.....SEX THREAD

[No Elephants]

17. I know statements like this are not pc, but ALL of my best friends live in the world.

[jasonberlin]

21. It's not a safe place to live, but it is does have some great bars.

[zbdent]

18. gonna need more tissues ...

[WillyT]

19. I'm Gonna Need More Cigarettes !!!

:evilgrin:

[zbdent]

20. if it's that good,

I might take up smoking!!!

(If you smoke after sex, you're doing it wayyyyyyyyyy too fast ...)

[bunnies]

22. Creepiest thread ever. nt

[Marrah_G]

23. Ummmmmmmmmm............creepy!

[stuntcat]

24. "the world could become a very popular place"

I really am ready to leave this world, I've lost hope in it altogether and now I'm just sticking around because my husband and my mom and my best friend need me.

BUT.. next week.. it might even give me a tiny drop of hope :) and that would just about be a Miracle right there.

so k & r!!

[ladjf]

25. Your prediction is not an exaggeration. An Obama win will signal

the start of a long recovery from the mental illness that was created by so many years of political corruption. Hundreds of years from now the damage done by Republicanism will be still remembered.

[Beacool]

26. A little over the top, don't you think?

It'll be celebrated around the world alright, mainly because it marks the end of the disastrous Bush administration. Let's just not go overboard, it ain't the second coming of the Lord.

:eyes:

[vanderBeth]

27. Oh My!

I think I need a cigarette. :evilgrin:

[JBoy]

28. I agree. The world at this moment is one big blue ball.

[TxRider]

32. My first global orgasm was 21 July 1969...

And I doubt I'll ever see a more united world than we had on that one day....

The world will always see politics from different sides, but there were no sides on that day, when man achieved that ages old dream.

The whole planet held their breath and watched as one...

[jasonberlin]

37. That just shows....

...that it's easier for America to put a white man on the MOON than to put a black man in the White House.

But yeah, you do seriously have a good point. I think these two events are similar global phenomena. And I think we need to keep 'em coming!

[Laelth]

33. Get ready for the Big O!

Nicely said, OP.

The United States is a LIBERAL Country.

:dem:

-Laelth

[DerekJ]

38. You mean the O spot?!

Ahem .. never mind.

[ddeclue]

34. I'll be doin' it in London baby...

I'm going overseas on Nov 3 and start work in London for two weeks on the 4th..

Sad to not be in Florida for the victory but it will be a very interesting experience to have to see how the English react to me when we win..

:)

[merh]

40. Wow, safe travels and please be sure to post about the

reactions in the UK. I'll look forward to reading your post. :toast:

[NWPatriot]

39. As long as we don't....

...knock the Earth off it's axis when it happens, go for it!

[jberryhill]

41. Will post the view from Cairo, Egypt

Already voted absentee and will be watching the return with friends at the conference early morning on the 5th in the time zone there.

[jasonberlin]

43. Awesome! Can't wait to hear the rest of the world's reactions!!!
