Barack's Victory Speech
Regardless of party loyalty, just about everyone stated the word "historical" in reference to last night. I watched the speech again just now and its more powerful the second time.
Its a great thing in this day and age that we have Youtube to document moments like last night. It was historical. It was as important and meaningful as the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the writing of the Constitution, the Gettysburgh Address, MLK, the first man on the moon. It ranked right up there with the most important and historical moments of our time.
I don't think that the meaning of this moment has sunk in fully and I don't think it will for quite sometime. Maybe its because since day one, Barack Obama has acted, sounded and has presented himself as presidential as any other president in the history of this country.
Speech after speech, interview after interview this man took the high road during his campaign. He didn't use negative attacks, he won on the issues. He won because he was truthful and up front with the voters. He won because he cares. And it shows. This country has taken a great leap forward with last nights results. Under Obama, it will continue to move forward:
What a load of crap. The whole thing is a load of crap. Dem or Repub this whole process makes us the laughing stock of the world. The concept dosn't but the way the media portrays it all does. I don't care who won but everything I watch related makes me want to puke on my keyboard!!!
He will from this day forward be called "THE WEDGE"

From poet John Dryden:
"fools are more hard to conquer than persuade"
"For whatsoever their sufferings were before, that change they covet makes them suffer more"
Look at Obamas policies and then google Huey Long or Kingfisher.
