Congratulations, Obama

One of the last things Dean Barnett said to me was that, as best he could tell, Barack Obama is “a good guy and a decent man.” I don’t think he’d mind me telling you that, especially under the circumstances. It’s a testament to his generosity of spirit that even in the heat of a campaign, with every reason to think the worst of his opponent, Dean couldn’t help but give him the benefit of the doubt. That’s Barnett all over, and that’s what made him an indispensable man whom we’ve been forced, horrendously, to dispense with.
I offer that as comfort to those of you who have no faith in The One but who do have faith in, and abiding affection for, DB. My guess is he’d have handled the news tonight with the same magnanimity that distinguished all of his writing. So in that spirit, congratulations to Barry O on a race superbly run and to our country for not having let the wrong reasons deter it from making the wrong choice. I’ll never be a fan, but I swear I’ll never take a nutroots posture either in relishing his failures because it helps my party. Like it or not, he’s my president. As a great man once said, country first.

My eyes are wide open tonight and I still can’t understand on so many levels how the F##K he won? Ohio, Virginia, Flordia????? WTF.

We can’t blame even Acorn for this lopsided victory, I wish it was so. There are voters, younger than I(38) that don’t know how bad a president Jimmy Carter was, but I think they will soon find out. Remember the famous words- Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
George Santayana (1863-1952) I just hate to go through it with them again.

In the words of the immortal civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. “we are free at last.”
In the words of the immortal cartoon character Fry “We’re boned.”
This guy couldn’t even wait until his celebratory appearance was over to lie. I mean, seriously, WHAT THE HECK does he mean by saying we’re in the worst financial crisis in a century? Either he’s being completely and totally dishonest or he doesn’t know when the Great Depression took place. Since he should be intelligent enough to know, and we all know he broke his promise to stay off public financing, I’ll go with the former.
The only good things I can see coming out of his presidency are Palin being set up for a nice comeback in 2012; even less so affirmative action ending because I still have my doubts on that.

Perusing acquaintances’ tweets and other online communications, I’m heartsick about how thoroughly fooled most of them are. They are positively giddy with the certainty of a brighter future under Obama. They really and truly think he will fix everything, pretty much instantly, and the world will love us, and no one will ever go without health care again, and we will never get involved in an “unnecessary war” again, and they will get lots of free stuff, and that higher taxes will be worth it for all this wonderful pay-off for the nation and the world.
Oh, yeah, and they are so very pleased about grinding their boot heels into prostrated and humiliated Republicans’ necks. They will make us pay dearly in this bright future of theirs, make no mistake.

Roger that Dale. Those lemmings where told to wave this stick in the air when Obama comes to the podium.
Once the speech is over you can just throw the stick on the ground and the sanitation engineers (from union eatshitandbarkatthemoon) will clean them up for you at the end of the day when they are on double over time.
winemkr on November 5, 2008 at 12:55 AM
Welp, I turned on Obama’s speech just in time to see him say something about it was time to go back to America’s ” founding words, ‘Yes we can’” – or something like that – or something like that, and I was thinking, what? What did he say? Since when was that America’s motto?
And the camera turned to the adoring flock who repeated, “Yes we can, yes we can” in unison.
I was immediately reminded of that old Twilight Zone episode, “On Thursday We Leave for Home,” where this group of people stranded on a world is led by James Whitmore, who often gets them to chant to raise their spirits.
Looking it up now, I see IMBD describes it this way: “A colony has barely survived on a sparse planet baked by two suns for thirty years only because of their megalomaniac leader who treats them like children. A conflict arises when a rescue ship arrives and offers them a new life back on Earth.”
I turned the channel, and saw no more of the speech.

I know this comes to a surprise to most Hot Air readers, but most of the country considers John McCain a conservative. These people don’t know all the issues he went against most conservatives on. He doesn’t like abortion, so that makes him a conservative.

You’ve GOT to be kidding me.
To all HA posters…please drop this nonsense about seceding/balkinizing/etc. You’re not another Davy Crockett writing a letter home from the wilderness. Nor am I. 95% of us are a average Joes or Janes sitting in a climate-controlled room typing on a keyboard. Even if we had enough like minded people to have a snowball’s chance of splitting, which we don’t, the droids in the silk suits take such efforts very VERY seriously. Any serious secession attempt would end at best with public humiliation by the media and jail for the leaders to another Waco.
I understand the sentiment, but this is the kind of nonsense that gets conservatives labeled as looney-tunes. So please just stop it.

CarlaPHX on November 5, 2008 at 12:56 AM
You and I agree on a lot Madison, but we just elected a Gramsci Marxist to POTUS. That threatens the very blanket of freedom under which we live. The Fairness doctrine comes first…to chill free speech. Confiscatory tax policies, card check plus banning replacement workers, and skyrocketing energy prices comes next to impoverish the masses comes next to control the population. The Freedom of Choice act removes all restrictions on abortion with the sweep of a pen, thereby demoralizing and dehumanizing all those people to whom life itself is considered the most precious freedom…the hill upon which we are willing to die. How is that freedom? And he TOLD THE AMERICAN PEOPLE he would do all this, and they elected him anyway. I’m devastated.
With other elections, the POTUS wasn’t promising to kill free speech, kill the economy and kill babies! This IS different.

After all of Juan Williams tears have finally dried and the Vermont fireworks fade to quiet and the sun comes up tomorrow, BHO is going to come to the realization that he just signed up for the absolute worst job imaginable on earth. No way is he prepared for it, and I believe in his heart he knows he knows it.

…the right’s been accuse of larceny…now the left can try it on for size…after they’ve done worshipping at the temple of their incarnate god….
…your second statement suggests a fact of which I was going to remind everyone: our ancestors lost most of the battles of our Revolution, and lost many of them badly…the best of them were bloody draws…and we won by wearing ‘em down, the opposition’s other commitments proving more profitable….
…so…wear ‘em down…shackle ‘em to each misstep and foible…support the good, pillory the bad, and don’t lose sight of the right.
People who rail against partisanship generally are railing against the partisans who oppose their easy path to power. I’m all for giving the Dems grey hairs, bad stomachs, fitfull sleep and the constant political taste of blood in their mouths…what they wrench from history’s grasp they’ll have to earn….
…it’ll be a new experience for them…it’ll help them to mature….

The people in Iowa didn’t think Fred hung out at enough barbecues and coffee shops, so they didn’t vote for him in the primary and he had no momentum and dropped out.
Ron, on the other hand, liked to talk about monetary policy and was subsequently labeled a “kook” by everyone and promptly ignored, even though it looks more and more like he’s right.

Crystald on November 5, 2008 at 1:02 AM
We need put this in perspective. What happened this election was due to a lot of things. It was because of policies by the Republicans in office that betrayed the principles of this country, and the laws on the books, as much as what the Democrats did. We need to get back to basics and really take stock of what we feel the Republican Party and America are all about. Then we need to stop apologizing for it and start to educate people as to why it is the right way to do things.
The Democrats will help us greatly over the next few years. Obama will hurt the country and the economy badly if he pursues his policies. He will make Jimmy Carter look like an economic genius. If we keep it together and get organized we will once again own the Presidency and both houses of Congress in a few years. But we need to recommit to the ideals that made us successful. Not the wishy washy garbage that has been spewed for the last eight years.

Allah, I’m grateful to you for banning FiveWays. My cousin is a Secret Service agent and my greatest fear since he became an agent (on my 30th birthday to be exact) is that his life would be put in jeopardy because some nutbag would take a shot at the President.
But having said all that, I do not have any desire to extend congratulatory wishes to someone who is not worthy of the office at this time. Obama’s biggest achievement is winning an election against the worst candidate we have put up in my lifetime. Obama won, America lost.
I also pray that Biden will continue to be wrong, I am speaking about The One being tested in the first 6 months of his administration because I don’t want to re-live the 90’s where terrorist attacks went without a response. I was in the Army during most of the Clinton years and was disgusted at how many of our finest men and women were slain without retaliation.

Sure, tomorrow’s another day, and I’ll be sweating even more bullets over our slacking economy in trying to keep my small business afloat, hoping I can pull it off so the banks don’t claim every single thing I own. Perhaps a brief respite in the form of a rant isn’t too much to ask?
This election will turn me into an activist, or at least a diligent participant in government affairs — Country First Amen!

Nope! Don’t say it, nor anything about a “book depository” nor anything.
Nor, talk about “rebellion” or “revolution” or “civil war”.
I’m a Former Marine. I wore the Uniform and served in Iraq the first time around, and swore to Defend the Constitution of the United States.
Obama is soon to occupy the Oval Office.
He is an evil, silly, vapid, empty, hollow, undistinguished, foolish Anti-American Racist.
And 51 Million clueless idiots voted for him.
But, we will survive him!
I will NEVER accept him, for the reason I have have laid out before:
he hates this country
he hates our Flag
he hates our History
he hates the Constitution
he hates our Traditions, and what made us Great!
he hates our Military
he wants to surrender to all of our enemies!
He is the Worst President Ever!
The most unacomplished President Ever!
In addtion, he’s actually quite an idiot; and can’t survive without a Teleprompter.
That said, we must NEVER advocate harm to him, nor his family, nor contravene the Rule of Law.
That is the ONLY thing we have remaining, that Seperates us from the Anti-American Left, such as “Chimpy” and the Third Would Republics.
It will be difficult, but we will survive, and we will one day look back on Obama’s time in the Oval Office as the WORST Presidency in American History, but the most important thing will be, we removed him Peacefully by VOTING him out of Office, and we can consign him to the Shitheap of History, that he so richly deserves.
We will NOT become like the American-hating Leftist, such as “Chimpy”, and wish harm upon America itself, because it made this dreadful mistake, nor wish harm upon Obama and/or his family, just because he hates this country so much.!

The question we need to ask is Obama President for the good of his Country or himself? That will determine how he leads, as any good military leader knows it is about your people not you.

Ah haaa!! You coulda had Ron Paul!!
I’ma love watching you folks tear yourselves to shreds! If you had any brains, you’d start with Bill Kristol and move down the line from there, Fred Barnes, Krauthammer, Frum. The neos killed the party and Obama’s what you got. Nice job!
