A true triumph for all of America, even if 47% don't know it yet. America can once again be the shining city on the hill.

Now that the American people have decided to elect their first "fashionable" president, here's what you have to look forward to:

1). Strict new gun laws will be enacted even though he promised he would not.

2). The phrase 'In God We Trust' will almost certainly be removed from our currency.

3). He will back away from his pledge to Israel and leave them to the wolves of Islam.

4). Hillary Clinton will be named to the Supreme Court. (Hey, he had to have promised her something folks.)

5). Tax rates will return to their highest levels in 30 years.

6). The capital gains tax will be at least double current levels.

7). Retired Army General Wesley Clark will be named Secretary of Defense. This is the General who was fired for 'integrity' issues.

8). The borders will be 'basically open' to all comers ... especially those from the Middle East and South America.

9). Amnesty will be granted to all illegals now in the U.S. regardless of status or even if gang members (MS-13).

10). The war in Iraq will be brought to an abrupt end, the results will be tragic and the consequences to our military will be devastating

I suggest you buy a gun (if you don't already have one), stock up on ammo, convert your assets to gold and hide it all in off-shore accounts and find a nice quite place to hunker down for at least the next four years.

You may also want to stock up on cigarettes; I don't know about you, but I always like a smoke after getting screwed.

Hey JSGIUNTA, calm down, go jerk off to your poster of Sarah Palin, and then put your tongue way up inside Sean Hannity's crack and you'll feel all better.

I like Obama, my only problem is that why doesn't the headlines ever read the first black and white President? That is what he is right?

SWORL - anybody black knows that if you have 1 drop of black blood in you, then your black!! So obviously your white!! And thats fine....I don't think there is any black or 'mixed' person in America that wouldn't mind educating you a little:)

I love America as much as any other citizen!!! But this is one of the most racist places and it is being proven everyday now!!!! Non-supporters only talk doom and gloom for the new president but Bush and Cheney can rob, steal, lie and cheat and thats perfectly fine!!!!

If a white man does it.....there must be a method to the madness. If a black man tries to better.....now were talking about impossible.

It's gonna be alright though - we went from slaves, to eating on your white tables, to taking dumps in white bathrooms, to living your the same excluse white homes, with the same great educations, and now a black man as president!!!

Why don't all you bigots go outside and screem or something, punch a wall, kick rocks whatever it takes but understand it is in everyone's best interest to try and get along!

We did.

This is the dawn of a new day for America and it would be a sad thing if we miss the opportunity to really come together and work with our new President. This election revealed how deeply racist some Americans are. I work with them so I know. We are going through an emotional sea change right now because the cover has been blown and we now know who we are breaking bread with.

America has an opportunity to re-claim it's soul which has been lost for so long. The question is do we have the political will to change our hearts and rid ourselves of long held negative opinions of people who don't look like us.

President-elect Obama's win is great for the country at a time when some of white America would like to forget that it was a white man, an idealogue who has been at the helm for eight years and has literally ruined this country at home and abroad, The wealthy has become even more wealthy , the Middle Class has completely disappeared and the poor, well they are still poor.

So, where do we go from here? If we can ever rid ourselves of the hate we carry around in our hearts, if the so-called EVANGELICALS who carry the brand "CHRISTIAN" would really look at themselves to see how far they are from being Christlike, then maybe, just maybe there will be some HOPE for America.

I AM SO SICK OF HEARING SUBVERSIVE COMMENTS COMING FROM MY CO-WORKERS REGARDING PRESIDENT ELECT OBAMA. I MUST BE THE ONLY PERSON IN MY WORKPLACE WHO VOTED FOR HIM. THE REMARKS ARE VERY DISTURBING.

No more disturbing then the hateful remarks about president Bush. People even calling for his death and hoping/praying for it. As far as coming together to work with the new president to hell with that he'll get the same treatment and bipartisan support as president Bush has recieved. He already plans to halt all new oil drilling by executive order, will not build any new coal fired or nuclear power plants to address our growing population needs despite the fact alternative energy's are decades away, impose 37 mpg rating on automakers, and impose greenhouse gas costs on companies making them less competitive, more likely to have layoffs, move jobs overseas and increase costs to consumers. He also wants to borrow another trillion dollars to bailout the auto industry and have another economic stimulus handout. You can forget your tax cut - wea re going to get hammered by this congress and president. The democrats also want to take govt. control of 401K's and pay a lousy 3% which means when combined with SS retirement you will have next to nothing to live on. In the meantime the % they make over 3% will go to the non-working so they can have a pensioin too. His new IRS rule will be how much did you make - send it in and we'll decide who gets what!!!

God will not smile down on America while abortion and other sinful behavior is not only sanctioned but passed into law. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He promises we will reap what we sow. We are seeing it with each passing day and in order to get back into God's favor we need to obey his laws - God is slow to anger but when the time does come it will not be a pleasant time of anyone.
