I just did a quick search and it is extimated 2.4 billion dollars was spent on this election all to get a position that pays $400,000. But I guess its not the pay they are after its the power.

Just Plain Craig. Regarding the last reason that most people get upset about...... If Colin Powell had run instead of Barack, he'd have had my vote in a heartbeat. I can certainly agree with you Brother that it IS a an unprecedented historic event where black people have seen a black candidate not only aspire to, but achieve the highest office in this country.

I'm scared shitles and pissed off. I did not want this guy in the white house at all.
Now we are going to pay higher taxes ( someone has to pay for all the cooked books on wall street)
Not to mention the possibility of Universal health care where you dont have a say in the matter as to what choices you have or where you can go.
and he will more than likely pull our troops out of the middle east, leaving the back door wide open for another September 11. Everyone and their brother knows that Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden are in bed together with the same agenda in mind,

Craig,
Please don't make this race issue. You may see it that way but I don't. Besides, he won. How do you call that a race issue? I have never been able to vote for a woman either. Not that I would have voted for Hiliary because she is a woman. I would have seriously considered voting for Cynthia McKinney, a black woman from Georgia who unfortunately didn't have the power to be nominated.
I personally don't think Obama was quite READY to be president although he may surprise me. I think that maybe in 4 yrs, I might have been happy to vote for him. Although I still don't like his stand on many issues. Socialism worries me, not his skin color. I never heard the name Barack Obama until the decided to run for president. But he has become very popular even though he isn't as experienced as others were. His political views concern me, not his skin color. He looks tan to me.
I don't vote for the party if I think the other candidate is a petter choice. In this case, for me it came down to the lesser of 2 evils. I can't afford higher taxes. I can't afford higher energy bills. I don't like his socialist views. Period. In my house where we are all registered as Rep, there were 2 votes to McCain & 2 votes to Obama.
The Dems now have the majority of congress, the President (any president) can't do much with out their support. Bush didn't make all this mess himself. He inherited part of it and some of the things he is being blamed for he, nor anyother ONE PERSON in politics can take credit or blame for. Nothing BUSH did caused 9-11. HE didn't CAUSE the hurricanes. He happened to be sitting in the chair when they occured.
I agree, as bad as Bush 2 is, that is who Obama will be judged against. I said a year ago that it didn't matter who the Democratic party chose to run as their candidate, they would win because the country is tired of a Rep president. EVERYBODY WANTS CHANGE. Everyone blames everything that is wrong with the country on Bush 2 because he IS the President. If/when, things get better, Obama & the Dems will take credit for it. It is the way the world works. Gerald Ford was a good president because he followed Nixon. Carter was a GREAT president because he followed the Rep administration after the Nixon/Ford era. I can't wait until 2012 to see WHAT is being blamed on Obama & the democrats. If CHANGE is slow in coming, how will we feel about that? How this administration goes will determine what happens in 2012. Although, it has to get better and therefore, he will be the hero. Who ever follows Bush, would be McCain, Obama or Clinton.
I WANTED to vote for Colin Powell. EIGHT years ago!! I don't know if Rice is ready for Vice President but I think if McCain had had either of those 2 people on the ticket with him he would have had a better chance. Personnally I thought there were better choices on both sides but I am only one person.

We are taking God and religion out of our politics by removing "In God We Trust" and "One Nation under God" from our national heritage, icons & symbols. Yet we want to Vote to take away a womens right to her own health & future. How can that be considered a political, Dem vs Rep issue? Don't take that as meaning I am pro abortion. As a christian woman, for me there are many many other implications & considerations with that issue. But I don't think it should be someone elses decission. I do think charging drs who do them with murder is a little radical. Next we will charge the pregnant female with murder. In the end, a female who is desperate enough will do their own abortions in some manner as they did generations ago before we made it a political issue.
We want to be sure that no two men or two women can legally become a couple although that also has more religious implications than political ones but WE want to VOTE on those rights as well. What does it matter if the person I devote my life to is a man or a woman? Why should a LAW of MAN tell me that isn't right? How can someone else tell me what I feel in my heart is against the law? I've been married to the same man for 30yrs, I'm not a lesbian but I don't think that I or anyone else should interfere with someone elses life in that area either.

Our union office is being overwhelmed this morning by members calling in and dropping their FIREPAC contributions. It is sad to see in locals all over this great country, where the majority of it's dues paying members are Republican, that they only support Democrats...we've had members drop out of the union all together as well...
Folks need to remember that things were "fine" during George Bush's first term, "fine" the first year or two of his second term, and went "crappy" when the Democrats got the majority in Congress...but people forget that...they just blame the President, not the idiots that are actually making the decisions for them...people wanted CHANGE a few years ago when Congress changed hands, lets just see how much more CHANGE we can take...

I think it's funny that people believe Obama will pander to the wall street types when McCain had all the lobbyist working for him. Phil Graham his most trusted advisor was one of the key players for the present crisis.
