I am proud of America

stock_trad3r,

While the world woke up today thinking : "so America is really a country where one works hard and can make it", it is sad to see
- you stock_trad3r, bringing in negativity and evil thoughts.

may be America doesn't deserve him

You should get over yourself too. Stock trader still thinks that Enron is coming back and is a good buy because it's had a long record of success.
 
I watched both speeches last night. I only wish the dialogue was as elevated throughout the entire campaign.

John McCain is a true hero who sacrificed enormously for the country. But his most opportune time was 2000 when he lost to Bush.

On seeing Jesse Jackson's reaction to Obama's win it occurred to me that Obama was singularly capable of accomplishing what he did. The scars of the fight for civil rights would never allow a black man from that era to ascend to the Presidency. Obama is unique in where he lived (Hawaii), how he was raised (by white grandparents) and how he was educated (Harvard) to actually live an American Dream life without the benefit of being born into wealth.

The Great Experiment continues. America is a pioneer again - and pioneers either discover new worlds and prosper or end up with arrows in their backs. We can all only hope and work for the former and not the latter.
 
Quote from Brandonf:

I did not vote for Barak Obama, but I am proud of America right . This election went off exactly how it should have, where problems arose they got addressed, the candidate of the majority has won and he is going to go into office. We will not have to go through the pain of having the popular vote winner lose the electoral vote that we had in 2000 and that has continued to be a source of bitterness ever since. I hope that Obama is the greatest president we have ever had and that we can start to heal as a country, we need it.
I do hope that the Democrats will remember that about 45% of the country did not vote for them. I hope they can attempt to be civil in convincing those of us who did not to continue to support Obama. I don't think that many people would make a case that Bush was the "uniter" that he promised to be, but I hope that Democrats do not fall into the traps of power and figure that two wrongs will make a right. Bush will go down in history as a terrible president and leader, much of the cause of this is going to be his complete disregard of anyone on the other side, and I hope that President Obama does not repeat this mistake.

Well said Brandon, so far the rehtoric seems not to be self indulgent gloating but rather constructive and concilliatory. May this spirit continue.

I wonder what Ron Paul did with all that money he raised for his presidential money that he never spent...

Hey gave it to feed the starving children.

He gave it to his family and he's said that he's going to use it to start a business. (Seriously.)
 
How could his supporters blame him, after all, Ron Paul never claimed that he wasn't an opportunist capitalist who would take advantage of the stupidity of followers....

How dare you oppose his freedom, liberty, niceness and all the other requisite buzzwords.
