I also was not happy, but that's life. Obama was so deep in the spotlight that now any little thing he does will get more attention than probably any president in history. I hope he knows what he's doing, because he'll certainly be watched closely. But hey, whether we like it or not, he is our new president, and to bicker and argue only makes us as a nation look weak. There have been presidents in the past that we have liked and disliked -- but no matter, we must stand by our president just as we would stand by our country. Well, we should at least look that way. Don't let "divide and conquer" ruin at least our friendships here. I know I'm not going to stop liking someone just because they don't agree with my political views. Give them a hard time for laughs, sure. What are friends for?

Now onto more important things. I vote we all take the day off and watch t.v. and eat potato chips and drink beer and . . . wait . . . that's what John does every Saturday during college football season. *BURP*

I'm sure they will be provided with MANY opportunities for new material!

The election proves one thing, with the right media hype, even GR could be elected.

I have tremendous faith in the constitution of the United States and the balance of power that it provides. I will give my support to our new president and pray that he will make the right decisions, regardless of whether my prefered candidate won the election or not. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to earn our respect. If he proves through his actions to not be worthy, then we'll work through our constitutional system to remedy the situation in the next mid term elections and the 2012 presidential election.

***I didn't vote for Obama either, but I can at the very least say that he is a far cry from being as low as GR. That's like comparing dog poop to bananas.

Damn, what kind of asshattery did we miss this time? Did deep_uv steal someone's login and get them banned again?
