The Moderators ( Hello Penny) need to ban you from this site. You are a sick human being.
But I don't see where asking anyone to stay vigilant is threatening anyone?
I don't normally pray for elected officials on a regular basis, but I will be praying for wisdom, humility, kindness, humor and patience every day for this man. He's facing a tough economic climate ... he has bridges to build across the oceans ... he as wounds to heal in this country ... and he *must* stay true to his promise to be a uniter ... and hopefully, he will be successful so that future campaigns are run on hope rather than fear and that we can agree to disagree without demonizing the other side. There *has* to be a better way to get elected.SchoolGirlHeart wrote:AmenEast Texas Parrothead wrote:God Bless America.

He'll have gray hair in four years, that's for sure.Glorfindel7 wrote:AMEN ETP
It's a tough job... look at how Jimmy Carter looked after his 4 year term ended......
I would have been happy with either result... both candidates had some shortcomings but we still need a leader in office....

I have faith that there are brighter days ahead for all of us. If I am wrong, you deserve a spot at the front of the line to complain. But, Barack needs to be given a chance. We can't expect an immediate turnaround. After all, from my perspective, he has quite a mess to clean up. In a Democracy, we trust that the majority will make the best decision for all. Let's hope that we have.Wino you know wrote: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.
And there are ALWAYS going to be brighter days ahead-each day will always be better than the last if you make it so.
My motto is this-if the country is in a mess, or preceived to be in a mess, maybe it's a bad thing, but I choose not to participate.
You're a smart guy, you seem like the kind of person who'd do VERY well on his own, therefore, you shouldn't participate in any negativity of this nation either.
Onward and upward.
Have fun, but stay vigilant.

Victors need to be gracious!
Sorry about the Caps and Cr*p!
I am a Very gracious victor.
Tonight is historic, that is true. And I hope your belief in Obama's better angels is borne out. I wish I could share your faith in this man.East Texas Parrothead wrote:McCain delivered an eloquent, elegant and classy speech ...
We have witnessed history and I'm glad I lived to see it.
I believe Obama will work hard to bring us together and will help us build bridges with our foreign friends.
I believe he has what it takes to lead us through the difficult times ahead. I believe he will work for a consensus rather than use a heavy hand to get his way.
The three words I keep hearing all night are
Unity
Hope
Equality
He has set the bar very high ... and I believe he will be able to rise to the occasion ... he'll bring out our better angels and we will all be better to have lived during the next 4 years.
I wish my granddaddy was here to witness this ... and Lucille, the lady who raised my brother and me ... they would have loved this moment.
'Night, all.
God Bless America.
God Bless Barack Obama
God Bless us all.

If Obama is as wise as some think he is, and he's been compared to Kennedy many times..Wino you know wrote:"THE ONLY THING WE HAVE TO FEAR IS FEAR ITSELF."
Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1932
"THE ONLY THING WE HAVE TO OFFER IS FEAR ITSELF."

Got home 90 minutes after our polls closed-a fairly efficient evening for us!
Seeing and talking to voters today--lots of first time voters; lots of folks who had not voted in years; lots of people expressing excitement and hope.
Whatever your politics, whoever your candidate....Barack Obama is our President-Elect. Let's all find a way to set aside some of the sniping and wish him and our country well.
