OBAMA WON !!!

[Sunes]

Despite all these accusations and dirty smear campaign against him  HE  WON....I am thrilled.

I just saw a clip of Elisabeth Hasselbeck (who I normally find extremely annoying), but, like McCain, she said uniting things--I really hope it all rubs off on McCain supporters.

That said, I listened to Rush Limbaugh for a bit this morning and he was basically saying, "The Republicans didn't lose yesterday--we weren't even running."  And he went on about how those who voted for Obama were pseudo-Republicans and they can stay away because they aren't real Republicans.  How sad that he will work tirelessly to keep the flames fanned and create divisiveness.

Now is a time to come together, Democrats and Republicans, as Americans.  When we agree on nothing else, we all agree that we love this country, as do the two men who engaged in rigorous campaigns to lead our nation.  

Let us put the rhetoric of those campaigns behind us and pull together as a country behind the man elected to lead us.  We are facing grave challenges as a nation.  I pray that our country is able to unite to confront these trials, as that is when we are at our best as Americans.  

I hope that we, as a community at MedHelp, can come together and begin to find common ground and the common good that exists in each of us.

Sure, Regan is great, we will just forget about him dumping hoardes of mental patients onto the cold streets. Shhh, no one will remember that!

And I am defending the notion that Ayers is the anti-christ. This man has made a significant change in his life. He has grown, the same cannot be said for many.

He was given Citizen of the Year in Chicago in 1997, not an honor bestowed lightly I do not imagine.

To make the leap that he will somehow be charged with governing our country because of his "associations" with Obama is akin to saying that his mailman or plumber will be to. It is simply ridiculous.

It is time to move on as graciously as your fallen candidate did.

All I can say Suzi, is to look at what a total eff up the last 8 years have been.  Its time for change.

And the majority of Americans agree, and could look past the Republican sound bites that were deployed to distract and sway.  So far,  I do not see Rev. Wright or Bill Ayers being invited to be part of the Cabinet.  I highly doubt we will.  

Lets do what we can to push this country out of the devastating decline its in.  Lets be positive, not just "give him a chance".

Peek- I can understand your feelings about him cheating on his wife and losing respect for him...that is your decision to make.

But how can that be questioned when Obama's relationships with Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers are acceptable???

These associations make me question Obama's integrity.  

I hope that Obama turns out to be the best president in US history!  I would love to be part of an America that is prospering again like it did in the 80's (under Reagan) (I had to put that in!)

Andi....he is a known terrorist....period...he said that he didn't do enough 40 years ago...he got off from being put in jail for life on a technicality....I wonder how forgiving you would be if it were your home that he targeted to blow up 40 years ago....forgive and forget?  not a chance!  He has not regreted nor apologized for what he had done.

It is amazing how you want to defend William Ayers!!!  Are YOU that radical or just looking for a fight?

Obama won the election...I will live with it, and I will give him a chance...but my concerns are the concerns of many and I have the right to speak it.

Also, remember, in the popular vote, Obama only one by 5%.  That means many dissatisfied Americans.  I hope as well as all the others that he will improve our economy and our way of life.  

Actually, I feel the republicans are handly our defeat very well, considering what was sure to happen if Obama had lost.  The filfh spewing from the dems lips would have been disgusting.
