Here I was hoping they would not go back to sleep too soon!

Well, I consider myself to be Vulcan. After all, I am pretty logical!
Obama can be as black or white on the inside as he wants. It does not change his DNA make-up however.

Well not this white independent. I think hoping he will be able to restore American pride, sense and some measure of financial stability, even within the red, is quite enough given what the man and his cabinet will have to deal with. And let us not confuse hopes with expectations.

No, he just had a two front war dozens of times the scale of what we see today, that's all, Liz.
What we see today are not even wars, really. We are locked into the civil war of others.
World War II is well known to have bailed America out of the depression, so much so that some people think FDR intentionally got us into it. Odd comparison.

Then you don't know how much America already spends on the military!
Just for you, look at the easy to read table here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listofcountriesbymilitary_expenditures
How much more breathing space do you need buddy? Looks to me like at least six times more than number two, and that country is a staunch ally for Pete's sake. Maybe instead of throwing our tax dollars down the toilet, or worse, into deadly unnecessary wars, how about upping the dosage on your nerve pills?

Correction: first mixed president. He is half black and half white by my reckoning. But it is still worth celebrating, and is now completely possible that we will one day have a president with even more non-white appearance. I just hope we get the best person despite race, gender, or any other petty crap people worry about.

How terrible and sad!
Would it not be just typical if the smoker escaped without a scratch?
Ban buses now!

So she cannot pose for pictures in probably the least revealing bra I have ever seen in my life?
And if you are looking at the picture but seeing a kid, well, I could say a lot of things that the moderator will probably erase. Chill out man. The model is not being abused.

What? You think we cannot survive two and half more months of Bush? Well, you might be right about that! Come on America! Hold on until inauguration day at least!

Somebody else cleverly commented how certain people always see doom on the horizon, and are real quick to go to war among other things. I think everybody else is celebrating, including those many many Americans who are not so paranoid and jittery, and our allies too.

The above was written before I refreshed and read about the concession.
I still hope the vote counting will continue as we have a LOT of time to do it before inauguration day. In fact, I wish more time and greater care had been taken.
I only hope that Obama will deliver the change he has promised, and it will be change for the better. I hope he starts with those darned computerized voting machines. They belong in the trash bin.

Well, he would be right about that. Trouble is that they could not be so rigged or faulty to fail to put Obama in the White House without a complete loss of confidence in the government and the process and a possible civil war.
Not that votes are not being skewed as we speak. We have voter fraud and disenfranchisement every single election. I just find having computers, running on very tamperable software and networks, doing the job to be very, very over the top.
Still, rig an election too much and it gets obvious. Besides, I think enough people got filthy rich enough from eight years of Bush that those truly despicable people among us can let this one go.

Truman was once a seller of suits before his company went belly up. Community organizer would seem to be better experience for the office of president. But its funny how people want one of us, then they don't want one of us.

Interesting info. But I meant most of the military's active duty absentee ballots, not absentee ballots in general. --Cirroc

You are right. You got me. The Congress, under McCain and with his support if not his urging, would have raised your taxes. My mistake.

Are Americans so adverse to voting that having to vote for a Senate seat twice in a short time is that much of an annoyance? Then why not just leave the seat open if a Senator dies. Would not want to inconvenience anyone for the sake of representative democracy. Its not really all that important.
Choosing a person on racial and gender profiling is really not a good idea. The human brain is not so fantastic. One should focus on the best person for the job, and that is it. If you try to find the best woman for the job for example, you know what you get? Palin "around with terrorists" that is what you get. Ask John McCain, he knows.

McCain would have increased your taxes too, so you are just bitter because Obama was honest. Ralph Nader would have raised your taxes. So would Ronald Reagan. So would Mother Theresa. We have record national debt.

They are hard-working people. Why, right now they are volunteering at polling stations, burning as many paper ballots as they can. Diebold executives and engineers are on holiday though. There vote rigging work was finished long ago. And even though the people who got machines moved from where they are needed, such as in heavily populated lower income neighborhoods, to where they are not needed, like sparsely populated middle income areas, and that job was done long ago, those guys still have to direct the vote burning.

It was amazing, was it not, the way the media published NOTHING about the Rezko affair, Reverend Wright, illegal foreign campaign donations, or comments about throwing Grandma under the bus. I was forced to scour right wing blogs just to get all that. Yeahright!
Man, the desperation and despair is getting really obvious one side of the political spectrum.

More partisan nonsense completely ignoring the skyrocketing colossus we call the national debt. Neither Democrats nor Republicans have much choice but to raise taxes (save for maybe some genuine imperialism). But do not worry. We all know which party oversaw the mounting debt and which party oversaw the surplus that preceded it. Har! Or should I say "ouch!"
What, GWB's "piece of paper"?
Please quote Obama on the constitution.
