Outcome of the election.

How do you feel now that Obama has won?

[BladeSLicer]

How do you feel now that Obama has won?

Hungover.

[heroshade]

I feel you should look about three pages back, and then go hang yourself over a bridge with barbed wire.

[Dhig]

How do you feel now that Obama has won?

Very naughty in a sexy way.

[Mungad]

The same I did before.

[stalwart]

i was pissed off when it was down to mccain and obama.

I'm happy - and so are all the different ethnic women I'm dating.
I wish he didn't ruin his great speech by ending it with the "god bless america" crap, but oh well, it'll be awhile before we get an atheist in there that doesn't curtail to such delusions.

I'm just tired of them always saying he's black, when he's only half black. "How do you feel about a black man in the presidency?!"
Hey, idiot reporter, he's only half black.

[AOD_Dante]

That's right, because when genes are passed down they mix in to a hybrid, rather than one being dominant and the other recessive. Therefore, he must be half black.

Yeah!

I think Obama paints a prettier face for American leadership. As others have noted on this forum, he's a very charismatic speaker. We'll have to see how the anointed one does!

[Matriel]

This marks the first time I've voted for a Presidential candidate that won. Now he'd better bring me my god damn revolution!

[Tharkon Fargor]

lol!

I agree with this message.

Just wait until they try and ban production of center fire ammo.

[Milo Hobgoblin]

a sense of doom.

The democrats now have control for the next two years.. I guess we are going to see what happens when every little social program, tax and spend policy and pro immigration bill sent to congress sails through with flying colors.

We are going to see a lot more jobs get outsourced as companies are forced to lay off on shore employees to cover their much higher taxes and medical expenses.

We are going to become a welfare state. The only joy I get from this is knowing that when our economy takes a shit.. all of the fucking eurotards who would love nothing more than to suck Obamas dick will have their economies crash soon after and much harder.

I will tell you this much.. if you think shit is expensive now.. just wait a couple of years when many competitors are forced to shut their doors and you have fewer choices of products in the marketplace.

I am very tempted to just have myself declared Disabled and let the fuckers who wanted this system pay for me.

You should do that, lets see if you like it.

[Mippoose]

All the black people were running around campus yelling OBAMA WON!!!

Hah.

[Tharkon Fargor]

To do that you'd have to disable yourself. That is why people who are disabled get help, to level their disability so that they have the same quality of life like everyone ellse.

So be fair now and cut one of your legs of and then I bet people will be happy to give you some money :)

[Carl Ragadamn]

I expect I would hate it, but whats the point of striving to succeed at the cost of my health and quality of life, if the country is filled with people who just want a mommy government?

I am in constantly in so much pain, that I can drive a fork thru the meat of my hand without flinching. I no longer feel the pain of things that cut or bruise, because they are drowned out by my normal level of pain.

[Aragon]

How do you feel now that Obama has won?

I feel that i can start liking USA again. When the motherfucker Bush was President i learned to hate USA as a country. A bit unfair maybe but that was the Bush effect abroad.

USA have never had such a low reputation abroad as a country as when that shithead Bush was President. This is a victory for all good americans and i gratulate you all for making a good decision.

All greedy Republicans that only think on themself can fuck off.

[DocGonzo]

not that i'm a big fan...

but after what has happened for the last 8 years...if things get objectively better...the market/economy, foreign policy, deficit decreases...etc

if ANY good stuff occurs in the next 2 years, and we wind up a little better off than we are after the last 8...

will those nay saying doom and gloom trolls man up and admit it?

we will see....i'm not saying it will, but there is a chance that these folks will do better than the last set of crooks...i'm just wondering if some can man up and admit it if it happens...

"time wounds all heels" - R.A.H.

[Lamiosa]

Great. If he does his work good, US will educate in a more social way and there will be many changes in US. If he fucks it up...well I do not live in.

if you look at it from an economical stand point the economy is going to get better in about 2 years. So your wish will come true. Till then it will get worse. :)

But while that is all going on lets remind ourselves that the economic turmoil we are in now isn't the fault of any one country. It was the bad moral practices and bad management of many international banks.

So I'm happy.

I would be the first to admit it. But considering that democrats have had control of congress over the last two years and its only gotten significantly worse...

I have a pretty good feeling its only gonna keep getting worse.

You cant "spread the wealth" when we have trillions of dollars in debt and expect the few people (those making over 250k and the already overtaxed corporations) to keep shouldering the burden for a portion of society that will never try.

We have the second highest corporate taxes in the world.. we already have HUGE problems with layoffs, rising unemployment... and the democrats answer is to tax them more??

I dont think anyone needs a real high IQ to see where thats going to lead.

[Carl Ragadamn]

Eh, I think the Dems have learnt to leave guns alone.

No, now that they can say that they support the Individual Right, they can begin to "reasonably" restrict it.

and yer olde Doctor thinks you need to set down your magic 8 ball, pop your binky back into your mouth...go to your happy place, and when you are done, remove the tinfoil and rejoin humanity

could just be me...but it is good to hear that you would admit to a mistake, that means sane discourse can occur...

The good thing is that America can lean on other countries to make it better.
The world needs the American market, its a fact.

This goes hand in hand with a positive foreign policy though.

did someone forget your meds this morning Carl?

the sheer amount of tears from you last night will be enough to make plenty of my elixir vitae and will keep me young for many more years...

Hmm I dont remember crying excessively last night, but I did have a few drinks to wash down the bitter pill, so who knows what I posted. I would have been atleast half as sad if McCain had won, so there was not happy scenario for me.

[joeapro]

I was initially supportive of John McCain, siding more-so with conservatism - though I philosophically believe in the politics-administration dichotomy (as a low level public manager ((social services))). I didn't like how he became this whole other person when campaigning really took flight. It was as though in exchange for a party affiliation he would need to change some of the core "value" (not values) he held as a senator - being a 'ball buster' on issues such as the defense budget. That culminated with democratic majority in congress, I felt it was only natural to go for a democratic president on the sole basis of having enough authority/power to actually get things done without constant opposition due mainly to party affiliation. They both have similiar objectives and McCain would have faced heavy democratic opposition. If in the end they core of their difference is simply "how" they reached said objectives, then go for the one who is more likely to succeed. I think that's what sucks about "checks and balances", but overall I'm really glad they exist. Anyway, I voted for Obama because I'm going all-in and hoping that his "Clean slate" will remain so, and that he'll give me some favorable returns.

Your sig is misleading. That woman actually says "I never knew my gold jewelry was worth so much money." How dare you misquote her!

[Mazer]

At least it wasn't McCain imo...

Dunno how much Obama will do but I'm a lot more optimistic at his potential.

That being said, I hope the Repubs get their shit together for the next election and get in touch with their party foundation.

[The Goatbreeder]

Obama is the antichrist!!

hehe, maybe not. dunno, really

LOL.. most annoying commercial of all time.

I especially love the woman who says "I sold my wedding band from my first marriage for lots of cash!".

I always just think to myself "Congratulations, whore."

i dont believe in the electoral system we have, so i have never registered, but had i registered i would have voted for mccain. Why? cause i work for a small business and own a house.

Odd you think Im speaking from the point of some idiotic collge kid or whatever it is you assume I am from the tone of your post.

Ive owned multiple businesses and now work for a large stock driven corporation and have seen the direct results of particular legislation on the profitability and success of companies and how it affects their hiring policies.

So if you take that as a "magic 8 ball".. so be it. I take it as learning from past experiences.

i am taking it as coming form someone who makes predictions...hence the word "magic"

i am taking it as someone making assumptions...see above

i am taking it form the historical perspective going beyond merely the last 8 years...or even the last 28

i am also taking it as a skeptic who has done the political dance before and is well aware of the differences between what some perceive, what is "promised" and what actually happens in reality

i am coming form the perspective of someone who knows that the new POTUS does not take office until late January...

nuff said?

EDIT: oh yeah...i am also taking is as coming from Forumfall, where the men are men and so are the women...where everyone is a 6'6" 300 lbs of muscle champion MMA fighter with an MBA and a supermodel girlfriend...

[Milo Hobgoblin]

So speaking from the historical perspective of owning a business that employed nearly 200 employees during the entire Clinton administration.. and seeing what many of those liberal social/fiscal policies did.. Im making assumptions and predictions that are completely based in fantasy??

Im guessing learning from your past is something you dont beleive in.

you are guessing again...and incorrectly as well

but now that you mention it...looking at the numbers during the Clinton years and the numbers form the supplysider's heaven of 2001-2006, much less the current situations...

well...Barry ain't slick Willie...and while historical circumstances may appear to repeat, it's never exact since the times have changed

silly of me, but i tend to hope for the best and then plan for the worst

however, i never try to make predictions when too many variables are uncertain...and if anyone thinks they have a handle on the situation...well , i've got this wonderful bridge i'm looking to sell...cheap

[Milo Hobgoblin]

In terms of supplysiders... Clinton was much more centrist than Obama "appears" to be. A direct comparison of their economic policies pretty much makes that clear as day.

I dont think there is any "magic 8 balling" going on here. I can respect you hoping for the best and planning for the worst, many of us who have been through a lot of economic ups and downs take that for granted. But when discussing the policies they plan to implement.. smal businesses planning the move to "mid sized" businesses are in for a world of hurt.

I dont know if you've ever owned or managed a business.. but you know Im not just making up some bullshit neo con line. Im really concerned as I have seen the direct affect of many of these "living wage", "spread the wealth" policies in the past.. and during the 90's those policies were much more tempered than they will be over the next 4 years.

[Tribaja]

The same as yesterday. "Time to blow shit up".

yes..i owned my own business for 9 years until i sold it and moved to Maine in 97...

again, i put to you that you are guessing...NO policies have been submitted to Congress, NO bills have been written, NO budget has been proposed...on and on

you appear to be making predictions and decisions on the ephemera of campaign promises, by your own admission...

my statement is that experience has shown such to be ludicrous at best... and while projecting curves with known data and controllable variables is definitely good business practice... going outside of that particular box calls for the Oracle at Delphi at th every least...

hence my earlier point....

[Matriel]

No, now that they can say that they support the Individual Right, they can begin to "reasonably" restrict it.

Remains to be seen if they'll hit that hot potato or not.

A lot of their seats have been gun friendly Dems, so I think not, but I won't hold my breath.
