We both strongly believe that jobs should and can be created to fix our rapidly deteriorating highways and bridges. Wasn't this done by FDR after the Great Depression? Something called the WPA?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised at all the hate I see in these emails. McCain supporters are holding their breath that Obama will fail, instead of embracing hope and change. He's no miracle worker. No possible way he can be expected to fix everything overnight or any time soon. It took us a long time to get in this mess, and it may take even longer to get out of it. The reason McCain supporters booed is because they are hateful, angry, racist people (fortunately these types of people are apparently outnumbered in America). Obama supporters are hopeful people from every walk of life who are willing to put aside their differences, whether it be skin color or political affiliation, to come together in the hopes of putting America and the world on a better path, one, I might add, that will never be "perfect." Yes, things are going to get a lot worse before they get better, but give the man a chance. You have a new president now -- like it or not. How you react is up to you: moan, groan, whine and place blame, or shut your mouth and accept this turn of events in history. Wow.

I can recite McCain's stump speech for you b/c sadly, throughout the campaign he was unable to produce any original or insightful comment, other than what was laid out in his stump speech.

You need to ask the question: Why? Why would Obama want to take money from you and give it to people on welfare? Why would Obama want to ruin the country? Why would he want to bring our troops home in defeat? The answer is he doesn't...he's got a clear plan for making things better, and he wants us all to be involved, Democrats and Republicans. You heard McCain last night...we need to put our differences aside and work together. But to sit there and say he's going to ruin the country, that simply defies logic. Please, use your brains for a change instead of blindly believing the drivel you heard on FOX. There's no way Obama would do anything to harm our country and be able to get away with it...he won't be able to sign anything without congress approving it, so chill. If you think...if you ask the question why, do the research and educate yourselves, you'll get the facts. There are checks and balances, your money is safe (well, as safe as it can be right now). The war will end successfully. He's not going to ruin America. Heck, things are so bad now, there's only one way we can go...up.

He won by 7 million popular votes. 47% of the country did not vote for him. A true landslide is Ronald reagan in 1984 winning 49 of 50 states. This is not even a mandate. This was a rejection of George Bush and Republicans, not of conservatism. John McCain is not a conservative and he never has been. Conservative initiatives were on the ballots of 5 different states last night and all 5 of those initiatives were voted for by American citizens. Conservatism was not on the Presidential ballot last night, therefore it could not have been rejected. America is still a center-right nation. As evidence just look at Obama's campaign: he moved from the far left to the center right because he knew he had to in order to win: he promised less abortions, lower taxes, 2nd amendment rights to continue, pro-military actions in Pakistan if we need to, promised to keep the troops in Iraq through 2010 or 2011, etc... all conservative ideologies!!!

With that being said, Obama / Biden was the correct choice to turn around this enormous mess they will inherit. Yes We Can...........

Bush has cost more jobs, ran up higher deficits and taken away more civil rights than any president before and yet people are prejudging President Elect Obama before they even see what he does. Not like anybody could quickly fix all the damage Bush and his neocons have done in the past 8 years.

Can we not separate political views from the person? I have some brilliant co-workers who happen to support the party that I don't. Perhaps their political views come about because of different experiences and opinions, and not from a lack of education or IQ? Trust me, there are plenty of brilliant and stupid people to go around on both sides. It's also funny that the winners always want to end the partisan bickering now and work together. Sure, the majority will be united with you as long as you agree with them. But of course the party in the minority will always play the spoilers. Please wake up and realize that we are all human beings here and are ultimately on the same side. And for the most part, we are very similar regardless of the party we choose to vote for. It's not a matter of good vs. evil, right vs. wrong, educated vs. uneducated -- just a difference in political opinions. Please start treating people as people and not party affiliations. Now, I'd like to get back to enjoying my football without political candidates invading the halftime show. Finally, this stupid election is over.

They may not pay what you were making before but if times are tough work 2 jobs. Don't wait around for someone to hand money to you. If you don't have the skills necessary to land a good paying job...go back to school. There are plenty of reasonably priced community colleges and state schools, not to mention federal aid to help pay for it.. I am sick and tired of people whining about their pay or being unemployed. If you don't like something make it better. Improve yourself or be willing to make undesirable wages. Mr. Shark,

I don't believe that redistribution of wealth is the way to go. I can look back through history all I want and I am sure I will never see when taxing businesses ever brought in more jobs. Its usually just the opposite. Like I said before I did vote for McCain, but since Obama is president I will support him until he pulls a Clinton.

My definition of truly rich are those who can afford to purchase yachts, sail around the world, own villas in Spain, etc. These folk are not going to let anyone increase their taxes to the point of losing a large amount of their fortunes. If the government begins to tax heavily at the very top down to whatever level they choose, these folk will move their money out of the country. They may move their companies, or at the very least shelter their fortune so taxes will not hurt them. Bush recognized this and made it profitable for the super rich and somewhat less to do business in the USA. If Obama attempts to draw more from these they will simply rebel to the point of retrenchment. Where does that leave the rest of us? Well, it leaves us ten trillion in debt, no social security, no jobs, no anything. I hope some economic genius is guiding our new president!

NEWS FLASH the Republicans held the white house for the last eight years, and although Democrats have had power in congress the last two years that does nothing when the president can veto all of your legislation. Secondly, nothing happens overnight, once Obama is sworn in as President in January it will take time for things to improve, there probably will be more jobs lost, things will probably get worse before they get better. However if Obama is even able to create one job during his first term it should be taken as a success because right now we are in economic turmoil and it will take several years to get out of it. I guess the point of all of this is accept that Obama will be our next president and embrace the fact that things can only get better, especially since we will be saving $10 billion dollars a month once the Iraq war is concluded, and that should have been reason enough to have voted for Obama, as 60+ million of us did last night.

Right now the majority of Americans can only afford to buy the necessities, that means they cannot buy anything else--and forget about credit, easy credit days are over.
