@ Kurki - Now is not the time to be humble.
It started with "I have a dream!"...........
So there it is.
President-elect Obama.
I've read this reflection several times, but it bears repeating.
It is an extraordinary tribute to the American Revolution's ability to reinvent itself in every generation, that the 44th President could have been owned as a piece of property by the first 16.
The United States are truly the most astonishing, wonderful country in this world. God Bless her, and all her citizens.

According to Fox, Wicker has held on to his seat in Mississippi, apparently making it highly, highly unlikely that the Democrats will attain a filibuster-proof majority.

Ugh. Listening to the commentators. "Black" this and "black" that. Its fricken black history year. Civil rights blah blah blah. What a crock. Get over it. I hate how these **** just keep seperating us on race. I hate it.
I just don't want to hear it. And I voted for the guy.

Edit: Give me a freakin break guys! This is history. This is stuff minorities in this country have wanted and hoped for for three centuries. Getting a President of your race is no big deal if you're a white guy. Let people enjoy it. ;)

Congratulations to President-elect Obama and to America. I hope your choice proves to be the correct one.
As it is 4am here, I bid you all goodnight.:beam:
Also, congratulations to Obama. I hope he fulfills his promise to work with whomever it takes to make the country a better place. I'd rather not see him and the Dems fall into the same trap that Bush and the Republicans did. A vote is NOT an absolute mandate.
