Not everyone is happy. History? Yeah. Great? Not so much for everyone. Let's talk in a year to see who has a fabulous approval rating..

I don't think anyone is throwing anything in anybody's faces. Many of us, including me, are excited. The reaction would be no different if the tables were turned.

Personally, I think the "Celebration" video didn't cut it.

Let's celebrate right!

That's a good and reasonable post.

And we can celebrate a bunch of elitists re-electing their DEMOCRAT represenatives, who controlled congress with a 9% approval rating.
DAMN RIGHT I'll complain.
But YOU'RE one of the ones who've made some pretty intelligent & well thought out posts, so for that, thank you.

Let's celebrate right!

Let's not and say we did.

I want to be inspired again and PRESIDENT OBAMA has done that for me.
Wish the other OBAMA Supporters on BN were up here in the mountains with me. First and Second Rounds would be on ME!
We're about to make some drinks and CELEBRATE WITH SOME JIMMY BUFFETT!!!!!
CONGRATS TO PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!
WHAT A HISTORICAL AND GREAT NIGHT FOR AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!
Or, if that is to LOUD.........
It's a Historical Night for America. Period.
Congrats PRESIDENT OBAMA. Period.
McCain Lost. Hooray. Period.

MileHighPirate,

You need to be gracious in victory ! People have bared there hearts and souls in this election and you need to respect that, Please.

We have had enough of, "you against me in the last 8 years". It is needs to be, " lets work together to make America A Better Country".

Bonnie. Please don't make fun of what the Moderators have tried to do to keep peace here on BN.

Penny. You are still looking for malice that isn't there. Other posters and myself are excited and happy, and not attacking anyone. Others are complaining about it. I certainly am not making fun of what Moderators are doing to keep peace. I agree with what FunkHouse just said.

That post was directed toward FunkHouse 9.
Thanks for your input. You seem like a smart & well informed person.

Don't worry, it's just music by Kool in the Gang in one, and the Jackson 5 in the other. It's happy music.

I truly am sorry if that looks like an attack to you. It was not meant as one. I added the last line as my husband came in the room with the news. It was not directed toward you. Just the red part you highlighted. And I was saying that part in a very reasonable voice.

Colorado will be a state to continue watching. We went blue this time with most folks elected but I don't think a single amendment to raise or reallocate taxes passed. None of the mill levys or tax increases for highways or those with disabilities.

It's no secret I'm an Obama girl, but I hope Coloradans don't think they can't have it both ways.
