OBAMA WINS

Ditto on what Darzian said so eloquently!

*yawns*

Who won?

*shrugs*

Like it ever makes a difference.

Amen, Ferret. No matter the side, a politician won. We'll see how it went when we take the country's temperature again in four years.

I think it's a telling statement when NonAmericans watched this race with such interest. We (the world) have a vested interest in governments who are transparent; who take into account our place and affect on the world at large. I'm looking forward to a new day when the phrase "in Amercian Interest" when applied to foreign policy no longer sends shivers of dread through me.

I also look forward to the day when Bush is out of the Whitehouse and we learn even more about his dirty dealings. It will be painful in many ways, but it also will be a chance to regain a measure of respect. Something America has been sorely lacking.

I'm sooo happy. What a wonderful day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I'm more excited about Lewis Hamilton winning.

You made me google that, BM.

It's going to be epic here at work. We have one VERY vocal McCain supporter who loathes Obama - amid a whole bunch of Obama suppporters who are all to eager to rub his nose in it. (I'm not rubbing anyone's nose in anything, I had it done to me after the last election. I was the lone Kerry supporter amid a herd of Bushies and they did NOT let me forget that Kerry lost....)

WWIII, anyone? I may need tequila by the time today is over with...

I knew animals were unpatriotic. Where are you hiding for the winter, ferret?

How does my belief that whoever is President won't effect someone on 15th and Walnut Street make me unpatriotic?

Change comes at the local level. Not national.

And if it matters, I voted for Obama.

Without over dramitization, I seen a determination in this guys face last night that seemed to say, "I want to start this job", I don't care if you love him or hate him, I just want a President who wants to work for the American people instead of a "party" or their own self interests, Congrats Barrack.

Gimme my tax break.

Do I have to wait 'til January to skip paying my mortgage or can I do it now?

I knew this morning was going to be not nice at work, but it's getting uglier than I thought. World War III may have been an understatement.

I'm not being flip for once. I'm actually scared...

I see you subscribe to the trickle down theory of politics.

I think it's a little calmer here - I hope so. I mean, passionate is one thing, but there's such a thing as taking it too far. Way too far.

Can you provide details of what exactly you're talking about?

One of the guys here is a ferverent (and very loud) McCain supporter amid a bunch of Obama backers. Well, he's not happy this morning, to say the least - and I think they really went too far giving him a hard time. I was really afraid for about an hour there that I was going to have to call 911 and/or run for my life, but I think things are settling down a bit. I hope.

ETA - NO MORE BUSH!!! I'm happy today.

Actually, with all the Obama '08 signs in the windows around the office, I'm a little surprised they're not.
