....with joy and relief, as I looked out on the crowds in Grant Park
celebrating the election of our new president. So many people -- young
and old, black and white, had tears running down their faces

Obama's speech was just like him -- direct, simple, eloquent,
and quintessentially American. He called us to work for the common
good -- not to go shopping.

The "relief" I felt comes partly from lifting the terrible fear that
hung over me for so long: That the next president would appoint
Supreme Court justices who would send our beloved country
even further down the road to a quasi-totalitarian state ruled --
as it has been for the last eight years -- by unchecked corporate
greed unmatched in my (long) voting memory.

Now, Justice Stevens, at 88, may feel it safe to retire,
and Justice Souter may leave the Court where he has
not lately been too happy. The cabal of Scalia, Thomas,
Alito and Roberts will be on the OTHER side of the 5-4
decisions that have so cynically sold us out on every
aspect of our lives.

People don't often stop and think how directly their lives
are affected by the Supreme Court's decisions.

Now we have hope that our new President, governing
from the center, will nominate centrist Justices who
don't cynically interpret the Constitution for the
benefit of religious fanatics, corporate thieves
and anti-environmental hatchetmen.

I have to support my president and BeeHO is
going to be sworn in as president. As an
American I have a right to express my disdain
and mistrust for the man. I have that right
for now and that right could go away under a
communist regime. I lost enough liberty under
the fascist Bush Administration and the thought
of Homeland Security falling under the control
of a radical/socialist/commie really concerns
me and a lot of other Americans. And no, I'm
not a Republican.

The popular vote split indicates that we all average out near the

who undferstands that.

If Democrats are true to their Clintonian past they will blame their

For a democrat Obama is quite conservative. That's why so many conservatives

Now, *Justice Stevens, at 88, may feel it safe to retire,
and Justice Souter may leave the Court where he has
not lately been too happy. *The cabal of Scalia, Thomas,
Alito and Roberts will be on the OTHER side of the 5-4
decisions that have so cynically sold us out on every
aspect of our lives.

People don't often stop and think how directly their lives
are affected by the Supreme Court's decisions.

Now we have hope that our new President, governing
from the center, will nominate centrist Justices who
don't cynically interpret the Constitution for the
benefit of religious fanatics, corporate thieves
and anti-environmental hatchetmen.

Obama - You're going to need all the luck in the world,
bringing together a divided nation

"The Audacity of Hope" -- he was already looking far, far ahead.

REPLY: I cried too....for the developing Americans in the womb who
are waiting to enter their own Country knowing our next President
only pretends life is sacred.

There are going to be a lot of disappointed democratic voters when BO cant
fulfill his campaign promises.

And there's going to be a lot of disappointed republican voters when
BO does fulfill his campaign promise.



Come back in three years and let's have this conversation again. He's a
POLITICIAN. Of course he's going to break his promises. But he'll inspire us
as he does it.

If Democrats are true to their Clintonian past they will blame their failures
on the Republicans and say they inherited a mess from them.
And, their mindless followers will continue to believe.


I consider myself a Republican and will concede Obama did inherit a mess from
Bush. You think things are going well?

I think you have been drinking the MoveOn kool-aid too much. Obama is
the most socialist senator in the Congress and his policies have
reflected such. If you're happy that's great but I will be even
happier when you share your wealth with me because I certainly will
need it when there are no more jobs to go around and energy costs
skyrocket. Let us know if you're still happy in two years.

Promised, I will. Until then, how about you start using your own brains?
Try it, thinking on your own is a wonderful feeling, better than sex.

Never have understood why people on both sides get so upset with the
other that they just can't abide by the fact that maybe the other dude
came to the decision on their own. This is a bipartisan indication of
the effects of cognitive dissonance.

When Bush43 got elected the first time I thought the world had come to an
end but *my life* carried on in a normal fashion. That doesn't excuse all
the pointless carnage in Iraq but the point is; McCain supporters will
probably come to the same conclusion on their own eventually.

Which of course has absolutely nothing to do with my point which is
why some of neither side can come to grips with the fact that someone
with a different viewpoint might actually have to come to it on their
own. Thus the OP suggests "move on koolaid" with your rather witty reply
of "try it, thinking on your own is a wonderful feeling". But hey,
beats both of you maybe having to actually think about your positions.

The political parties need to understand it as well. This pandering to the
extremes of the left and right are what's divided the country. I would love to
have a centrist party.

The Republicans left me behind when they started kissing fundamentalist ass.
And the Democrats conspire to deprive me of my God given right to defend myself
by their attempts to redefine the 2nd Amendment.

I know very few people who would buy all of their party's positions. Most of
them are like me, who agree with aspects of both.... but not all. The parties
need to move closer to us instead of expecting us to come to them.

Using your own brains please tell me how you envision President
Obama and Pelosi/Reid making the world and especially America a
better place. If possible piggyback on the points made by original
poster or just raise your own.


Haven't you guys done enough damage already?

Mortimer,

You don't think the Democrats had anything to do with our current situation?
Both sides have created this mess. The left and right only get further
apart. Scary stuff.
Good luck President elect Obama.
