History
Well...Looks like Obama won.
I'm appreciative of the history that I was able to witness. It's no small thing that a half-black man can appear out of nowhere and be given the highest office in the land. Hopefully this will end, finally, the excuses that many use that America is a racist society. There is indeed a lot of prejudice but skin color is not a barrier.
Gender still seems to be, though.
We have witnessed another aspect of history. The mostly unchallenged assumption that women are not serious players. They are objects to be ridiculed, humiliated, abused, and derided...because they are women, or rather, ho's and cunts. In that spirit, I'd like to offer this poster for all the women out there who went along and kept your mouths shut when speaking out would have made a difference.
Welcome to your new world.
I give the nod to all who supported Obama. My sincere hope is that he will be the great leader you believe he will be rather than the disaster for the world he appears to me. I have no desire to see our country slide further down the terrible path that Bush has led while in office. Perhaps, now that he has safely won the election, Obama will clue us all in on how he is going to fix many of the problems that he will face as President. I have sat through two elections wondering how Americans could be so stupid as to elect somebody so incompetent to the Presidency. I hope I haven't sat through a third wondering the same thing.
History is a funny thing...it's always being written

Ho and kuntz. Kuntz and ho-hos. Twinkies and stinkies. Girls' peepees.
You are no different from the knee-jerk reactionaries who call those who didn't support Obama, "racist".
But if you guys use a card, such as the "sex card", it's justifiable. How convenient? Never mind that McCain used the "C-word" on his own wife. Never mind that for every sexist-sounding remark there is always a racist one about Obama. And Obama's win doesn't negate that.
It was funny to watch both Hillary and Palin cry about sexism, really. The bottom line is that, while sexism exists, the true problem is that Palin and Hillary cannot accept criticism. So, to deal with it, the "sex card" came to rescue them.
Good game.
P.S. I think some men are pricks and dicks. Am I a male-hater?
Go light on the mayo...sweetie.
Your right on, Jay. It's ironic to watch the McCain camp now turn on Sarah to cover their own a$$es.
As to race, nobody played that card as much as The O did himself.
How anyone can tie Bush to Obama is crazy to me but hey if it works.
The Republican party has, long ago, stopped being the party of fiscal responsibility and McCain expressed that every chance he could by screaming tax cuts.
Bush ran on tax cuts and kept his promise but then proceeded to wage wars on two different fronts and never raised taxes to pay for them and McCain openly said he would do the same, so remind me how is that a better choice?
James...I kind of think Palin was the best thing going for McCain. Looking back on the GOP campaign; it almost looks like they were expecting a lot of trouble in the near future and didn't want to be in control. I think McCain took one for the party so they could sweep in easy in a couple of years. And..oh..yeah...Obama played hard with the race card, but at least he wore it's usefulness out for any future politician.
mike b...Well, with the Precious, we will have a couple of wars (at least)and you will get to pay a bunch more taxes to pay for it and his trillion dollars of giveaways to those that don't bother to pay taxes. That's assuming you keep your job. Fear not though, Obama has talked about a draft.
I don't buy the "glass ceiling" line the feminists love to tout. That's not to say that a few people that you meet now and then aren't sexist. I think many (not all) women do more to hold each other down because while they themselves want to "succeed" they can't stand to see another woman "succeed" more or faster than them. It's like they never get out of highschool.
And Bush failed by not saying no to outrageous spending slipped into bills by both democrats and republicans. His tax cuts were the right thing to do. The fair tax would be even better.
lola...I agree it's more of a tar-pit than a glass ceiling. I dislike misogyny because several women are important in my life and dear to my heart. I dislike homophobia for the same reason. I dislike racism because, well, because skin color is just a stupid way to ascribe character, good or bad. But for all groups that are effected by these various forms of prejudice, it often appears that they are their own worse enemies and most strident practitioners of prejudice. Witness Prop 8 in California which passed due to the enthusiastic support of the same ones who voted for Obama.
Bush's failure was in being able to lead. He was literally handed the opportunity to change the world and squandered it in favor of those that bought his office. We will see the same with Obama when that half billion dollar campaign bill comes due.
