Obama wins. How do you feel about President Obama?

imported post

We are not completely lost, we still have a system of checks and balances. I do feel that the balance is now skewed and that we will see some big legislation. I feel that any legislation that proposes further restriction of 'individual rights' for the 'greater good' will be blindly signed by Obama. I do not believe that Obama has the experience or insight to know what is truly best for this nation and thus will be easily swayed by his 'peers'. I also believe that over time he will gain some influence in the supreme court through placement of justices that will result in some very unfavorable rulings. If he makes it to a second term we will be in for some more serious and longer standing problems. I truly hope and pray that by 2012 we have some good strong leaders that we can truly 'believe in' and that America will support! Not just for President but also for Reps and Sens...

While I fundamentally disagree with President elect Obama's positions on many subjects, he will soon be my president and I will support and defend him in that office (unlike the Bush haters). However, the jury is still out regarding the Change he proposes to bring. And being already suspicious of him because of the misdirection and omission of information he employed during his campaign (and the MSMs enabling of that practice), I will be alert to address any grievances swiftly to my representatives. I only hope that I will be able to see any negative change coming soon enough to make a positive impact.

Of course he will, he was raised by his peers to take this position, and do their will.

I think that that is well said...
Weather or not we agree with him, he is about to be our president. I have said this many times to many people: "It doesn't matter if you agree with the war or Bush or anything else, you should still support our troops as they are defending your right to disagree!"
I truly hope and pray that Obama can and does 'Earn my support'; but somehow I seriously doubt that he will beyond my respect for the office of President and my concession that the 'majority has spoken' even though I believe that it was a very misguided majority!

That's disturbingly funny. So, should we all fly Old Glory up-side-down as a sign of distress...FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS?

D'oh...Carolina40beat me to it.

More like in a coma Sonora. But like Dustin and others said, he can't run roughshod over the constitution yet. Our biggest hope is that none of the Supreme court justices die or leave the court until 2010. Then with the recapture of the Senate they can guarentee at least moderate replacements. I would take4 more Kennedy's to replace Stevens, Ginsburg, Breyer and Breyer.

To get to brass tacks, this election just means we have to work harder to maintain our freedom. Maybe that is a good thing. Maybe by the work we do, and concealed carriers, and hunters, and the NRA and the GOA and every other gun owner in a America does in the next 2 years we can actually get what we want. The government toacknowledge that our right to keep and bear arms CAN NOT BE INFRINGED.

I cannot imagine anyone being more shocked than I was as I sat at West Va casino and watched Indiana and Ohio go to Obama. There are two explanations for the result of this election: Either Americans are so wrapped up in the struggle to make a living (or in their narcissistic selves) that they don't bother to read the papers but rather get their news from the Daily Show with Jon Stewart - A COMEDY SHOW!!! OR there was corruption on the part of the Obama camp that for some reason no one felt like looking into. Either way it worked. The Obama theory of political science is that you can fool most of the people some of the time and some of the people most of the time but you only have to fool enough of the people enough of the time; and it looks as if he has done a damned good job of it.

By some miracle we seem to have avoided a filibuster-proof Senate, so there is still some entity which can put the brakes on his more ridiculous/dangerous notions such as deliberately bankrupting the coal industry and trashing the 2A. But he is still going to be the Commander in Chief of the most powerfful military force on this planet

Personally I think that when Barack Hussein Obama takes the oath to "protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against All Enemies both foreign and domestic" his next move should be, in obedience to that oath, to RESIGN.

I still hold way too much respect for my flag and what it stands for to allow for it to be flown upside down!!! Half mast out of sorrow and distress, ok, upside down, NO WAY! Remember WE are America! WE are what that flag stands for! WE are the PEOPLE! Not ONE man! He will eventually be defeated, unfortunately I am afraid that we will take some serious losses and setbacks along the way, but have faith that the American spirit will eventually prevail!

The Republicans deserved to lose. I don't blame most people who voted Democrat, for voting that way. What choice did they really have? More of the same non-republican Republicans? For 6 years we've been begging Republicans to please be Republicans! They refused.

And now, we have change: Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

I don't think most Democrat voters have any idea what they've just done. They're filled with hatred for 'the other guys' and voted against what they hated, but not for what they wanted. They don't even know what they voted for.

But still, I can't blame them. Look at what we've had. Clearly, what the fake Republicans have been doing to us was unacceptable. No sane person could vote for more of that!

This election is the event horizon. No group, of any political affiliation, has ever been put in power with such extreme anti-american interests. We even have foreign enemies that are more sympathetic to us than this leadership! There is no fixing something this extreme. And it was elected the only way it could have been; blind hatred for a party that deserved to be hated.

It is the Republicans' fault. For years they saw this train comming, and they stood stubornly on the tracks daring it to hit them. It did. Surprised the train didn't swerve?

The conspiracy theorist in me can't help but wonder, it just seems too perfect for th Communists. A huge voting block, blinded by hatred, votes them into office without even checking their names... What kind of puppet master can accomplish something like that? Only one; Prejucide. Unchecked ignorant hatred.

On one hand, it's impossible to blame people for voting the Fake Republicans out. I agree with that course of action myself. But to have insight into the people that replaced them... It would make anyone with an IQ greater than their shoe size want to vomit. No greater disaster has ever befallen this nation, EVER. I simply can't believe that a population such as this could be so virulent and hateful, to cut off it's nose to spite it's face. They must simply not know what they have done. If they DO know, then God help us all that still have brains and respect for the rights of others; those just elected certainly don't.

The un-republican republicans"?
I think that you are forgetting that the president is only one man! The Dems have had the majority, even though it wasn't enough to call it 'control' I still don't see how people are continuing to blame Bush and say that by electing McCain that we would have an automatic continuation! I wasn't the biggest believer in McCain, but I do feel that Palin was a positive breath of fresh air! There hasn't been a truly clear positive leader in any recent election and I believe that more emphasis needs to be put on who we are electing to the house and senate than the president him/herself. Even believing as I do, I am not well educated on our representatives as there was simply not as much readily available info on them and no real debate/news releases about them.

the nation IS in distress, hence the upside down flag...

if I didn't love my country, the flag wouldn't even be there.

We're not allowed to write of IQ. The leftist egalitarians cannot make IQs equal but they can damn IQ elites.

Either we are equal or we are not. Good people ought to be armed where they will, with wits and guns and the truth. NRA KMA$$

Flying the flag upside down isn't a sign of disrespect...it's the sign of distress.

Barack Obama Responds:
"Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House - a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity. Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, We are not enemies, but friends...though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn - I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too."

Self-serving words I think, Donk.

The less we fuss partisanly, the easier it is for him to ram his socialist agenda down our throats.

Of course he is going to ask for calm, civility, etc.

Where's that Founder quote about politeness being a cover for chicanery?

Get ready for Martial Law next guys. February of "09.............Don't forget the message we got on March 19, 2008. For those who didn't get it or have forgotten, the closed door session of the House on March 19, 2008 turned out to be notification to the Senators that the economy will collapse in September of 2009.

The second part of that meeting was to notify them of the collapse of the Federal Government in February of 2009. Martial Law will be declared simultaneously.

Collect up your guns and lots of ammo and stash them where they CAN'T be found. Stock up on food and water and get a generator.

In the mean time watch for signs of the pending collapse. Not much time. I hope I am wrong but the economy collapse was exactly as predicted.

You just made two key points for me.

1) You assumed I was talkign about Dubya. I wasn't. Such assumptions prove only that you think you know, but don't. The whole party has gone RINO (Republican In Name Only). They're all fakes.

2) ...just like so many who voted a straight Democrat Partisan ticket yesterday, having no clue what the names even were before they eneterd the polling place. The media zip their lips, and we just haven't got the time or mental clarity in the midst of our fight to survive to do the research. Misinformation is at it's most effective in hard financial times. This time, so bad, misinformation wasn't even needed, just a total lack of any information at all. Pure ignorance.
