The fact that a democrat is now in the Black House does not mark the end of this country.

There's no need for that. The name represents the color of the exterior paint, not the residents.:dis:

The world will end in our lifetime. If not in mine then certainly in my children's time on Earth. We are becoming a leftist, Godless country.

Congrats Bin Laden - your airplane attacks certainly crippled us, but your sabotage of the American political system destroyed us. Stick a fork in America, we are finished.

Give me a call when an illegal alien rear ends you at an intersection and WHIPS OUT A FREAKIN DRIVERS LICENSE to the police.

Jesus, help us all.

Funny how the kool-aid drinkers forget that Bush entered with a recession from the Clinton policies, and that the economy was in great shape until early 07, when the Dems came into power in Congress... or that there was a war, and 9/11, or that the housing bubble burst due to policies started all the way back under Carter...

Three myths in one sentence. This election was about Republican failure in the last 8 years. If you can't recognize that, then that is another republican failure.

my opinion probably is going to be ridiculed but i will give it anyway.

i believe our country is strong enough to withstand the far left and the far right.

so the person i wanted to run this country did not win. (even tho i wasnt happy with my choices, i did make my choice.) i remember my liberal friends feeling many of the same feelings, even if with different "scenerios", 8 years ago.

i believe in a lot of things. i believe in the checks and balances of the government. i believe in the moderates of both parties to swing away from the extremes in both parties and keep things in balance. i believe that the constitution is strong enough to turn back challenges from the far left and the far right. i believe that the pendulum swings and will swing back sooner or later. it has done so many times in our country's history, and we always survive.

i believe that bush did do some things to damage this country, and obama could do the same. however, i believe that no one person, or ideal, can do us in. i believe that because i believe that collectively, and through non-violent means, we can make democracy work.

i believe that our country has survived a lot in over 225 years, and that it will survive 4 more years.

and now a very unpopular opinion. our country has once again gone through the democratic process, a process many in other countries would love the opportunity to experience. because of this process, obama is my president. bush was my president. so was clinton, bush 1, reagan, carter, and every other president in my lifetime. i feel fortunate that i was born and live in this country. i will continue to participate in that democratic process to make things better. because that process, and the checks and balances, is how this country has survived, and been the envy of others, for so long.

TheDude I'm calmer than you.

"End of days" seems a bit fatalistic to me. I understand the philosophical differences between the two extremes but the majority of the country sits in the center. If Obama pushes to far to the left, or lets Pelosi and Reed push him, there will be a backlash similar to the one you just saw vs Bush.

The country may have ignored some basic truths by electing Obama but it will be on him to deliver to one side or the other. Either way he is going to disappoint a lot of people and it will probably hurt him. Time will tell.

I can't imagine wanting this job right now.

I couldn't agree with you more. It occured to me last night what a massive mess the next President was inheriting.

Boy the Wii's are going to fly off the shelf this fall seeing that this will be the last Christmas season that will be legal in the U.S.
