There is always hope that he pimp slaps the business elites and turns out to be the most libertarian President of our lifetime. However, it is more likely that we will simply move a lot deeper into socialism and see more loss of freedom. My only hope is that the drug war ends. You know Obama's good to go on legalizing the endo.

I am so incredibly happy. I grew up in a time no one could ever conceive of this. Just the history alone makes me sob.

BAM! OBAMA!!!

Elphaba

What do you mean? Nobody could conceive of a presidential candidate winning the presidency?

Elphaba, I'm happy you are happy. But I wouldn't vote for anyone just to break a barrier. I'm glad that we could elect someone different, but that isn't a good enough reason alone to vote for anyone (not to say that is the only reason you or anyone voted for him). I just don't think he was qualified. I could have considered voting for him in 4 or 8 years when he had a real record to judge. Oh well, I'm going to try not to be a sore loser. I wish him well, and even more so, I wish the country well.

You know what UJ? NO ONE is going to take this night away from me.

I'll discuss all of this tomorrow..next week..in four years.

But I have fought very hard for this. And tonight is MINE!
