		<description>From New Day....Fellow Obama supporters… you guys wanna go back to Obama&#039;s victory speech and listen to the part where he talks about unity? Our guy won, we should all be happy but, being a bad winner is pathetic. Show a lil maturity and restraint and focus on making all of us better, not just the ones that agree with us.&quot;...  I want to point out that at JMs concession speech a bunch of big mouthed yahoos booed when Obamas name was mentioned. Only then did JM actually try to calm them down. When he (and Lipstick Fido) were campaigning, all the name calling and hooting were NOT discouraged. So there are bad winners and sore losers. As for this guy, it goes to show how dysfunctional this whole campaign was. And to all the GOP&#039;ers out there who are upset. TOO BAD!!! You had your 8 years of buffoonery and look where it got us. Time for some new blood in the WH.</description>

		<description>Could it have been a rabid PIT BULL with LIPSTICK.

Jogger runs mile with rabid fox locked on her arm. 
Authorities in Arizona say a jogger attacked by a rabid fox ran a mile with the animal&#039;s jaws clamped on her arm and then drove herself to a hospital. The Yavapai County sheriff&#039;s office said the woman told deputies she was on a trail near Prescott on Monday when the fox attacked and bit her foot.

She said she grabbed the fox by the neck when it went for her leg but it bit her arm.

The woman wanted the animal tested for rabies so she ran a mile to her car with the fox still biting her arm, then pried it off and tossed it in her trunk and drove to the Prescott hospital.

The sheriff&#039;s office says the fox later bit an animal control officer. He and the woman are both receiving rabies vaccinations.</description>

		<description>Well, my fellow Americans I say lets give our new President Obama a chance here, this was a clear win, and in my 52 years, I have never voted for the winner, and this election is no different, but I have the faith in that no matter if it is a liberal or conservative approach we as America will prevail. 
What I&#039;m most pleased about is the over all involvement that &quot;We the People&quot; had in this election. The large voter turnout, the high first time voter involvement and most of all the optimism that we will be ok. 
What was it that FDR said? All we have to fear is fear itself? 
I’m with John McCain here, this is my President and this is my country, my land, this is our land. This is where I’ll stand my ground, and pray for peace and prosperity for all of America. The challenges we face going forward will require all of us to help each other with love. 
Even though I did not vote for Barrack, I will not disrespect my President ever.</description>

		<description>Has anyone written about Obama&#039;s journey and moments in history?  It is amazing.  I&#039;ll continue to research more.  Some I&#039;ve heard, others confirmed. I will check of factcheck.org and other sites:

1.  DNC acceptance speech on the same day as Dr. King&#039;s I Have a Dream Speech;
2. 2009 is the same year as the 100th anniversary of the NAACP;
3.  From the same state from where the only other president from the state was elected;
4. Timing of Obama&#039;s victory speech and the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation;

There are others, still researching...</description>

Palin has an IQ of 147, Obama has an IQ of 123. Obama was elected because of the money he received from IRAN. Obama is NOT qualified to be president and it will show soon enough. We will end up impeaching Obama you watch my words
----------------------------------------------------------
I don&#039;t normally call anyone names, but you&#039;re an idiot. There is no record of their IQ scores and you don&#039;t know where Obama received his funds. 

People, it&#039;s over. Move on. Get over it. McCain lost for good reason. He was not the right person for the job and the American people felt that. Period.</description>

		<description>I also feel I need to respond to Jeff&#039;s ignorance. 

Look Clownshow, candidates have proposals they make to Congress of what they want to get done. Since this isn&#039;t a dictatorship, the President doesn&#039;t get to decide how a bill turns out, only if he approves of it in its final form. Congress will work it out, and hopefully they will be able to come up with something that Obama is agreeable to that he will sign into law. With additional Democrats in Congress now, it should be easier than it has been. Bottom line, all the President can do is say &quot;I want to see legislation on my desk that &quot;enacts universal healthcare&quot; (etc,  you fill in the blank). He doesn&#039;t get to just make law. Sounds like you need to go back in time and live in Germany about 70 years ago so you can see how a dictatorship works since that&#039;s apparently what you&#039;re advocating. The sad thing is I bet even after those of us here who understand how gov&#039;t works explain it to you, you still won&#039;t &quot;get it&quot;. Don&#039;t post anymore without being able to at least translate your incoherent BS into a half-way coherent sentence.</description>

		<description>Time for change and move on to a better future.  We all are at blame for this nation being what we made it.  Greed, backbiting, slander, bigotery, racism, you name it and we all should shoulder the blame.  So let&#039;s get on with the show of patriotism and commitment to making this a better nation, GOP and DEM, and show them we can do it!</description>

		<description>Yes, let&#039;s all move on.  Senator Obama won and who cares what is happening in the McCain camp now?  They lost because of the poor choice for V.P., their negativity, their lies, and fearmongering.  You think they would have learned a lesson.  Stupid is as stupid does.  We didn&#039;t fall for it this time nor we will EVER again.  I am ecstatic that the Democrats will be taking back the White House to clean up the mess (again)  this current Administration made.  As as far as impeachment, President Bush should have been impeached years ago!!!!  Worst president EVER!!!</description>

		<description>Whom evr is bl;aming President elect Obama for the stock market; your worng. President  Bush is still in office not Barack so stop your blame game, it&#039;s enough of that going around in your own party. Don&#039;t try to drag our President elect in on the problems the Republicans have caused. Also, it took Bush 8 years to screw our country up unfortunatley it will take longer to fix our country!!!!!!

		<description>who on earth thinks they know Obama&#039;s and Palin&#039;s I.Q.&#039;s?  And what is that based on?   It&#039;s highly unlikely that either ever was tested and, if they were, the results would not be public.  

I supported Obama in this election.  However, I listened to every side of the issues before making my decision.  One thing that influenced me (but it was not close to the only reason) was the willingness of certain people/media to make this sort of unsubstantiated statement.  The carrying on about Obama&#039;s birth certificate, the insistence that he is Muslim,  the statements about how he had said he&#039;d eliminate the Star Spangled Banner.  Those of you who spread this junk--please know that you may have dissuaded some people from supporting Obama but you pushed others towards him.</description>

		<description>Who cares about this? The real news is that the market had its biggest drop for the day after an election in US history.  The markets have no confidence in Obama&#039;s ability to manage the economy.  Now that&#039;s something your readers would want to know.</description>

		<description>Hey Obama Supporters - please stop criticizing McCain&#039;s supporters and do what your Candidate told you to do:  reach across the isle and work together

Hey McCain Supporters - please stop hoping for Obama to fail or for the condition of our country to get worse, and do what your Candidate told you to do:  put your country first.

The Election is over but America&#039;s challenges haven&#039;t gone away.  Time to start fighting with each other and put our country back together.</description>

		<description>I really get the feeling that McCain was prevented from running &quot;his&quot; campaign.  His campaign was sloppy, and it never stuck to a specific topic that could be driven home.  He didn&#039;t want to do a mudslinging campaign, but that is what happened.  When you listen to his acceptance speech for the Republican ticket, and to his concession speech, it doesn&#039;t seem to be the same as the campaign that was run.  You can say that if he couldn&#039;t run his campaign how can he run the country all you want, but you are naive to think he could.

Congrats to Obama and his campaign for running a great race, and sticking to his plan.  I voted for McCain but I really do hope that Obama does a great job.  We are Americans first and foremost, time to unite to bring this country back to greatness.  

Posters, please stop with the name-calling.  It shows ignorance, and ignorance is what keeps things like racisim and sexisim prevelent in todays society.</description>

		<description>Bob, you are already talking about impeaching Obama and he isn&#039;t even in the White House  until 1/20/09.   Why haven&#039;t  you talk more about impeaching your boys Bush /Cheney they cause the problems we are having, then call for a $700B bailout.  I guess you will blame Obama for that too.   Just can&#039;t help yourself can you BOBBY boy.   I guess if it where anyone else other than Obama it would be okay right Bobby?  What a joke you are.

Well, guess what most of America will support Barack Obama and he will do just fine working that miracle..to get us out of the mess your boys &quot;Bush/Cheney&quot; created.</description>

		<description>Stuff like this shows me that I made the right decision. Everyone likes to talk about Obama, but he didn&#039;t cause the problem that we are facing today. Look at who is in office. The McCain camp has issues and it has been enlightened throughout the campaign. I&#039;m excited to see what happens now. Anything is better then what we have experienced for the past 8 years. Everyone needs to be more open minded and stop making judgments before Obama takes office. 

America voted and it looks like they made the right decision.</description>

		<description>Too bad, when losers lose, they lose their minds and integrity. For a split second I switched on Foxnews, and here they are saying that the &quot;liberal media&quot; was in the tank for Obama and helped him win....ummm...really? Americans are not so easily brainwashed. And if that was the real reason, there would not be so much in-fighting in the GOP camp!</description>

Haha, I guess it&#039;s hard to quit spinning those reports even after the election, eh?

&quot;I wasn&#039;t fired. I was asked to alleviate my position to another party who has not presently been disclosed.&quot;

Man, I really hope we can all move on and come together to solve our problems.</description>

		<description>America, you chose wisely. Now that it is over, I still see some hatred and rhetoric on  both sides and that is not what you country needs. This is the time to come together for the benefit of all Americans. There are many who feel anger and disappointment  from this election. Those that still spew anger and hatred will eventually coem around when things start to improve in their lives.Every Democrat needs to be a good winner and not a sore one. No matter how much dirty tricks was shown or what was said  in the race, you all needs to show restraint for your country. As a Canadian, I am proud of my brothers and sisters to the south of me. You have started a change in your country but you will also have started a change in how the world looks at America  for the better. No more hatred and rhetoric. Start by helping your new President bring in a new and bright future, not only for yourselves, but for the entire world. God Bless America</description>

		<description>The left now has control of the White House and Congress but i bet after you run the country into the ground, destroy our economy and the American will to work and succeed with your European socialistic policies, undermine our national security, and basically pander and bow to other governments, you will still be trying to blame George Bush and the Republicans.  You many have bought this election but now you have to show that you really can &quot;change&quot; this country for the positive.  Change is coming but will it be good for the country?  We will see.  So far all I can see is a bunch of simple minded, hatemongery leftists gloating and pontificating ... but as with Carter and Reagan in 2 years or 4 years you will be out of power and this country returned to its path of conservatism, fiscal responsibility and strong national defense.  Where our policies are dictated by what is best for Americans and not dependent on world opinion.  I pray that Obama does well but based on responses in this blog I am expecting that the socialist agenda and all you mindless followers of it will fail and we will all suffer for it.  I still will go to sleep every night with my Bible and a copy of the United States Constitution nearby to remind me of what this country was founded on and what values made it the greatest country on earth despite what the left would have us believe.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s be honest about this whole sarah Palin issue. If you put any stock in the exit polls the vast majority of independent voters (63%) said they believed that Palin was NOT qualified to be VP no less President and 45% of them gave that as a major reason they decided to vote Democratic.

    Based on that reality it is quite obvious that whatever chance McCain might have had to win was eliminated by his choice of Palin.

    The interesting question is how he reached the decision to name her. Was it simply a gut &quot;Hail Mary&quot; decision made essentially by McCain alone or where there senior trusted aides who sold him on the idea??? 

    Seems to me that even a political novice would have known that a woman who is so stridently pro-life was going to turn off a big chunk of the independent voters (especially the women amongst them) and thus be a big net minus in a national election. Further, whatever prayer she might have had certainly left when the Couric interview aired.

    Someday we&#039;ll all know what happened.</description>

		<description>The Republican party is clearly out-of-touch.  Their pick for V.P. did not increase support beyond their base.  The ugly, divisive rhetoric, ads, emails, i.e. scare tactics did not succeed.  Prominent republicans began coming out for Obama.  Their GE campaign was mismanaged.  Before the election, they’d begun pointing fingers at each other and everyone else, in an attempt to explain the reason for their (inevitable) loss.  Obviously, the finger pointing continues.  Good grief.  Is it any wonder why the most people did not vote for the Republican ticket?</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t vote for Obama, but I pray for him.  The Dems have an uphill climb to positively affect our  nation over the next 4 years. As for all you who want to trash Palin, get over it.  She proved that a woman can be strong and feminine. Its a new concept but if you try you can eventually wrap your mind around it!</description>

		<description>I&#039;m in Arizona.  I voted for Obama and happy that I did so.  McCain will go back to the senate to serve out 2 more years.  McCain is no maverick.  He ran his campaign as instructed by the out of touch gop.  The republicans need to change their platform, which is way too narrow thinking to elect a president.  McCain is too short tempered and arrogant and erratic -- spur-of-the-moment-- to make a good president.  If he had run with the graciousness which he delivered his concession speech things may have turned out differently.  A different vp choice would also have helped immensely.  Reps can go on forever about how Palin entergized the base.  Americans did not think her qualified.</description>

		<description>Bob – I’m guessing it was McCain’s camp that released her IQ levels. With all the smoke the McCain camp was letting out these past several months, I wouldn’t be surprises if her IQ was 47, and they just threw a 1 in front of it hoping people like yourself were that gullible to believe it. I heard her speak, and if you want to make her out as highly intelligent person, then you’ve been fooled.</description>

		<description>Reps are always sore losers. Obama isn&#039;t president yet. He will be sworn in next year. Until then, the ball is in Bushys court. The buck stops there. Also, bear in mind that Obamas proposals were designed before the stock market crashed. It tanked yesterday because the number of JOBLESS people was higher than expected.
Not because of Obama. Because of the party in power ! 
That problem will not be solved in a day. Patience and fortitude will get us through. There are no magic bullets to solve the problem.</description>

		<description>It boggles my mind how half of the nation seems to be stuck in the past.
I sincerely hope that the rest of you have the drive to take up the slack for these people and move the nation forward.

It seems unfortunate that these types of people do not seem to want to learn or the hopes of bettering their children&#039;s future.

The world CAN now survive without the US but can we survive without the rest of the world. Think about it...they can make everything for themselves. What do they need to rely on us for? We rely on them for Walmart....

Please direct your anger and hatred to something more constructive. Perhaps you can volunteer to help rebuild homes damged by the hurricanes.

		<description>We need to stop trashing McCain.  Yes, his campaign was mismanaged.  Now, we need to move on.  Stop trying to generate ratings based off the election soap opera that is now over.  McCain had the bravery to do what other Republicans would not do, and that was run against an Obama.  He behaved like a total gentleman, and that&#039;s what mattered.  

Jeff, people like you make me laugh. If we had held all of our politicians feet to the fire, we would not be in the current mess.  It&#039;s amazing how we wait until the black man makes it to office to &quot;hold a politicians feet to the fire.&quot;  Ken Sawyer, Obama did not even make it into office, so how are you going to make a blanket statement like that, oh the economy sank.  GET OVER IT...He won.  Stop drinking haterade.</description>

		<description>Obama would have NEVER allowed this to happen on his team.

Palin clearly has become a joke to many Americans. She is done on the national scene. Alaskans might elect her their Senator but she won&#039;t be taken seriously in Washington if they do. 

In April, May &amp; June most people were saying that McCain needed to pick an economy oriented guy to fill his shortcoming. I said it then, and I say now, that Rob Portman of Ohio ... the former leader of the office of management &amp; budget ... would have been the right call. McCain would have held Ohio and he&#039;d have had a thinker on his team. 

McCain could have secured the base by early campaigning with conservative surrogates and hard hitting commericals against Obama&#039;s so-called radical ties but he needed to complete this before July. He needed to plant the seed and then let it go. The base would have had to &quot;trust&quot; him while he played to independents in the last 4 months of the campaign.  This trust would have allowed McCain to publically take Bush to task. 

Johnshould have rejected the bailout as welfare for wall street. The nationalization of the banks approaches socialistic behavior and McCain was tarred with this brush. His suspension of the campaign gimmick was a big miss. 

Hiring the Rove disciple and Gullianni&#039;s agent were big mistakes. He needed that Republican guy Mike ....., the one that appears on NBC.  McCain needed to have his persona of 2000 instead of the angry, &quot;It&#039;s the SURGE, I tell ya&quot;, imagery of 2008. 

Obama was brilliant, ran an almost flawless campaign but could have been beaten.  The GOP&#039;ers blew it by being extremists.</description>

		<description>It is disheartening to see the ugly comments made by Obama supporters on this blog.  This kind of thing is what turned me off to Bill Clinton, as much as his policies.  When the campaign is over, it is over, and then it is time to govern.  I hope that Obama does not govern with the same tone as some on this blog have.  

I did not vote for Obama, not because of his race, and not because of  any of the silly asides such those in this article, but because of his proposed policies.  I opposed those policies before the election, and I will continue to oppose them--but I won&#039;t allow it to become personal, because it ISN&#039;T personal, it is political.

Dems, enjoy your win, but if you want to continue the personal attacks, don&#039;t be surprised if they come back against you in future campaigns.  I hope that have to happen.</description>
