Not really ... he had a LOT of help from a Democrat Congress and their friends ...

Thanks kbkr, care to elaborate as to why it seems idiotic to you?
If I get it right, your comment stems from NOT understanding what the point of the sentence is, which works only if you take into account both the "idiotic statement" and the paragraph preceding it, such as: "If Obama walks the walk, he will do good to the US and also the whole world, unless someone stops him before he does any good"..... an NOT as: "Useless black guy gets killed and (unfairly) gets promoted to saint".

One more thought on this ... Obama will have a Democrat Congress, and most likely will have the opportunity to appoint three SC Justices ... So I would say he has the WHOLE PACKAGE going for him ...

The first time around Bush got less than 50% of the vote, and his brother had the voting halted in my home state before the traditionally democratic precincts were re-counted. Also in Volusia county, they counted Gores votes backwards until he got over NEGATIVE 16000 votes. Gore clearly won the state and the election and Bush stole it with election tampering.
Bush was our "Commander In Thief" and actually out did Nixon (another Republican) in the illegal activities department.

Who's God? Remember, the Christian God is the same one the Jews and Islamics worship. From the mess we are in, I don't think he/she/it is taking sides.

A couple of final thoughts, and I will not come back to this thread.
1) For those Republicans who accepted defeat graciously, thank you.
2) For you Democrats and Independents who help bring down the Bush regime, thank you.
3) For those Republicans who are still trying to spread hate and fear, please be gracious, join the republic, and turn off Fox and Limbaugh - they are worse than the communist threat we had in the 50s
4) Let's all put our differences aside, and get back to making music.
Yes, let's put it to rest, but not until I remind you all that Bush stole the elections, and that Limbaugh and Fox are worst than Communists. Oh, btw, I'm not liberal, totally independent. But you might notice I didn't bother to mention any leftys who shouldn't be listened to. They're all mainstream. Only the right wingers should be avoided.
