Wait a minute. "Congratulations", for you, is:

"Well, your side cheated and manipulated to get victory, and you will regret his victory later" in a sugar coat?

You can keep them, mate.

Why are you calling him a socialist? He doesn't even come close to that! There are no socialist politicans in the USA.

Something I noticed this morning, was that I didn't see any conservatives running around saying they are leaving the country.  It really says something about the different mentalities.

Although I am weary about the amount of fraud that might have happened this time around, I don't think Obama won by cheating, I think he won by marketing, not experience or qualifications. 

Will people regret has victory, absolutely they will.  The messiah-like following he has achieved was impressive, (and a bit creepy), but I don't think he will be successful as President if his past positions are any indication.

I so await to see the government of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid.  They are in control of all branches of government, so now the blame will fall squarely on them.  Have fun America. 

In a year where it should probably have been a Democrat landslide (like Reagan winning all but 1 state and DC) it isn't, why not? Why couldn't Obama seal the deal with a very large amount of Americans? Am I disappointed? Sure, but no sour grapes here. I'll give the new president my support, until I see the direction of his policies for myself. It will be difficult not to be drunk with power since the congress has shifted even more to the left. Clinton was kept in check by a heavily Republican congress. Obama will have none of that. The last Democrat with that kind of power was Carter, and unfortunately we see how that went for the country.

What I find interestingly amusing is that when the Republicans controlled congress it took them awhile to ruin a good thing and they were punished (rightfully) by the voters for it. The Democrats have been dragging congress into the ground now for two years (from the get go) and were rewarded for their efforts last night. The lowest ranked congress ever! Go figure.

In a way it's very refreshing all the Bush haters will have to take a hard look in the mirror, especially if something goes wrong as they won't have their favorite whipping boy (along with Chenney) anymore. It will be interesting to see how they defend "their" guy when this event that Biden spoke of, that "we might disagree" with Obama, will happen.

The US really has reached the apex of affirmative action, as it has now extended to the presidency. Let us all hope the rookie is a fast learner and that nobody has to pay dearly for his on the job training. It really is true that there is nothing money won't buy in the US, the media, even some voters. I have to hand it to Obama he did a remarkable job and deserves congratulations from everyone regardless of political affiliations. I also hope this will take out the stench of racism that seems to get tossed as a convenience, we'll see. A truly historic event to be sure.

I don't think Obama fooled or "pulled the wool" over people's eyes.

I think Americans, at least a majority, simply want the federal government to take care of them.

You're wrong.  There is nothing to gloat about, and no retrospective self-recriminating mirror-peering now - it's not like you're handing over the keys to the Ferrari, where only Obama's skill level would determine the smoothness of the ride.

Republicans are giving the country back the Chevy Nova.  Thanks for handing over the keys to the Pinto, with the engine exploded all over the highway.  The vehicle this country is going to be driving to work needs a serious overhaul.  Unfortunately for the Unites States and for the rest of the world as whole, we're going to be feeling the unholy effects of this Republican era for a long, long time.

I could have sworn that the Democrats have been in control of congress for the past 2 years.

Please feel free to name the single policy that Bush instigated that made the US a "Chevy Nova"?

What unholy effects? Ask the average Iraqi how they feel about getting rid of Saddam or the average Afghan? The media, no friend of Bush, has conducted countless polls on the subject over there you know.

as someone who is firmly against affirmative action, i can say that this had nothing to do with such a policy. he won, plain and simple. if you really believe the economy is headed for disaster then do your patriotic duty and make yourself heard - you guys seem incredible talented and capable of getting your message across.

look, four years ago i took the kids i worked with in inner city DC to a fancy
restaurant and they thought they weren't allowed in because they were black.
that they are seeing this historic moment - and it would be the same joy for me
if it were Powell or Rice - that they can see the American ideal remains in place.

i've traveled the world, and there is no country more dedicated to inclusion and
equality. so take pride in your country for that victory, one you can value
separately from that of a Democrat winning.

Lol... When did the Canadians get the franchise in The States?

I would rather too - but then conservatives are tired of the left and their Bush crucified Christ mentality.

I for one will wait until he screws up.  But I will not be forgiving when I print my "told you sos".

What a great day!    The RepubLIE-CONs are basically dead and they can't ruin this country anymore.   Good bye corruption, lies, hypocrisy, greed, and ineptness.    Hello President Obama and the Democratic Congress who can finally get some work done.   Step 1 - start the cleanup of the Dumbya disastrous years.   USA finally got some respect back - the world is a better place and its people know it.    Well done, Voters!   Now, let's amend the US Constitution to make the RepubLIE-CON party illegal and stop the fake, judgmental, hypocritical people who call themselves "Christians" and only care about making all women have all babies and stopping gay people from their US Constitutional right to pursuit of happiness illegal aliens who need to be deported to one hideous state where they can annoy each other and stay out of government and people's private lives.    And good riddance Dumbya Bush, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and Sarah Airhead Paid Lyin.    It gave me great joy to watch her cry because she did not win the beauty pagent she ran to be this country's VP!    What a terrible, embarrassing joke she is!  

On the plus side, at least no one on the right is claiming Obama isn't their president etc.  That pissed me off to no end.

I for one will never call Obama the President.  He had the right to not put his hand over his heart for the singing of the National Anthem, I have the right to not call him by is new title.  I think for now on I will just refer to him as BarryO.

Yeah but how does he walk with your head up his ass?
