America for the win...United we stand divided we fall.

[BanginJimmy]

looks like I should need to my health insurance. I can save that ~200 a month so I can pay my increased taxes.



I only hope that Obama and his cronies in the house and senate cant do so much damage in the next 4 years that it wont be fixable. We will now definately head into a recession.

[BanginJimmy]

America for the win...United we stand divided we fall.

Now head into a recession? Where have you been - we are already in a recession.

[Vteckidd]

I'm not gonna be a sore loser. Congrats to obama, even though he's not what I want, its great to know that our election system is still the best in the world.

[Dr. K8]

you obviously dont know the defination of a recession if you believe that.

[Slow Motion]

i hope that whoever wins does a good job for the greater good of our country.

consider us fallen.

With that mentality.. yes we will be divided. Give the man a chance, we'd do the same for McCain. I'm sorry to those who wanted to see McCain win, but I think we're all relieved to have closure on this election. I'm happy that my candidate won but I'm more concerned with those on the opposing side to just give Obama a chance to prove himself before passing judgement.

Now this is admirable....

i don't know about best in the world someone emailed into CNN earlier saying that "i can pay my bills, my taxes, etc online securely; why are we having to stand in long lines to vote"... it is better then afganistan they use camels to transport ballots

[Slow Motion]

consider us fallen.

if we have already falling where are the warlords of the world.

+1
even though I disagree with him it seems he is the next president. I hope he does well. It would be foolish to root for him to fail

[JR VQ 30 de]

sorry yall get ready for a change 200 electoral votes for obama and mcain 85

x2 very well said sir i tip my hat to you

[JR VQ 30 de]

obama got Ohio one of the states the mcain was highly relying on so .....

[Echonova]

Do you think Secret Service will let Obama ghost ride the whip?

My mentality comes from seeing the man in action. I obviously will give him a chance, but I have seen what a democratic majority in the house and senate can do over the last 2 years. Now imagine what they will do when they have more help from the president. They have stonewalled everything a republican has tried to do simply because he was a republican. They have ground our govt to a stop, then blamed it on the republicans. What else do you need to see? Obama has never worked across party lines in the past, what makes you think he will now?

[Jecht]

you obviously dont know the defination of a recession if you believe that.

That word is spelled definition, and here is the definition of a recession:

Rather, a recession is a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales.

the official agency in charge of declaring that the economy is in a state of recession is the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). NBER's definition of recession is a bit more vague than the standard one that was described above; they define recession as a "significant decline in economic activity lasting more than a few months".

[BobbyFresco]

Oh..and no riots yet! Oh noes....

[Revmaynard]

This election upsets me more than any other because so many more people are voting without knowing a damn thing. I know personally three people today who voted for a candidate because someone TOLD THEM TO. These are grown adults, me being 19 and them being close to 30. Not to mention other occasions this happened. I feel Obama's win is because of who he is, and not what he stands for. But either way, it was a 50/50 shot and I knew Obama would win. Now me, particularly, I'm not for either of these candidates. But in the end I just hopes what's best for us as a people will play out, regardless of what political party they're for.

[BanginJimmy]

It would be foolish to root for him to fail

Both of them would have failed as neither has any honor or integrity. The only difference is that Obamas failings will will take longer to fix, if it can be fixed at all. McCain's would have been much more easily fixed.

[JConner]

I have a feeling that all the Obama supporters will see what a mistake they made by voting for him VERY SOON

[BanginJimmy]

the accepted definition is a decline in the GDP lasting at least 2 quarters.

[Echonova]

Oh..and no riots yet! Oh noes....

Wait for it...

Wait for it...

[Vteckidd]

I want to stay positive because we are all Americans. I strongly disagree with obama and dems thts no secret. But I hope we can find some common ground and work to move this country forward. I hope we can be victorious in Iraq, fix the economoy, and restore prosperity. Obama has his work cut out for him and I hope he makes the right decisions

[Brut]

Brb, dropping out of college, and living off the welfare checks from rich people.

[Echonova]

Congrats to Obama and his supporters.
