The Note: Obama Seeks to Define Mandate

You know what I find very intersting about this post? You now are using Obama’s full name Barack Hussein Obama! When did this become ok to do? If this would have been done prior to this election the left would have been screaming bloody murder! It will be interesting to see how many people are upset about this! My guess would be XERO now that the election is over! Talk about DOUBLE STANDARD by the MSM!

The Obama brigade has risen, take notice ABC. If you don’t do what they say they wil destroy you!

You know I hope they pass the Fairness Doc I want to see MSNBC / CNN / ABC all get that tingling feeling up their legs when they realize they have to have equal time for both sides! I want to see Keith Olberman’s face when they tell him that O’Reilly or Hannity will be joing MSNBC because they now have to present both sides equal!

Chuck;
8 years is a long time to complain buddy. You may as well get on board, or pick up a hobby. Much like PUMA, or the perceived Bradley Effect…You talk about the MSM, you should thank them for framing this race to be closer than it was. This thing was over about 3 months ago.
President Obama
Vice President Biden

Oh please still talking about his middle name. Don’t you get it. No one cares, we won and it’s time to more on, but if you need to keep bitching, you still have Fox Noise to feed your sickness.

Hey the best an.. I guess you are still drinking the last of the Koolaid from the party last night! The point is if anybody would have used his Middle name prior to the election everybody from the Left would have been screaming “FOUL”!
Thank God we do have Fox News because if we did not, we would never hear both sides of the issue! Say waht you want about Fox News more people watch them than any other news network!

Congrats to all who voted for Obama and Hopefully Obama can lead this country in a positive direction.While I did not vote for him I support our country and the choice of the majority as a nation we need to unite behind our leaders and stay the greatest Nation in the world.

Now there are no excuses, Democrats. Walk the walk of truth, peace and justice.

The new President is practical, moral, and intellectual. He will have a short honeymoon, then a long relationship with America. . …………….

reddog-Thanks for being classy and representative of what is so great about our Country.

Let the cockroaches with the negativity, bile and hatred run back for the shadows and cover.

Thank you Reddog for an eloquent statement. Lets all work together as a change as Americans. Hopefully we havent forgotten how.

Let us witness the magic of President Obama – middle class tax cut, the economy out of the ditch, an end to global warming, universal health care, social security fixed, education improved, improved world standing, ending two wars in victory, energy independence, stabilized oil prices, the end of corruption in Washington and Wall Street, cutting out all the pork in bills before signed and huge spending cuts in programs that dont work….its going to be an awesome first 100 days. Feel the magic – we believed in the change – now lets see it happen.

The author used the whole name to make a point. Your outrage comes from the fact the media didn’t use something he had had no control over (his name), to enflame the simpletons that are so drawn to the far right wing.

This whole race has been a disgrace, 99% of the blacks voted for him only becuse he is black with no consideration of his background, experience, or his beliefs. I am so ashame of my fellow Americans, whatever he dishes out they better be ready to such it up. His race means nothing to me but his values do. I have a good, indemand job- those of you who do not get really for the pink slip and everyone standing around waiting for him to pay their mortgage and gas bill- well it is going to be a long wait. BO is in this for BO.

Greg in MN:
Sour grapes.
Your side lost. Get over it. You ought to be ashamed… of yourself.
And guess what, John McCain was in it for one person and one alone, himself. He proved that with his pick of Palin.

Although I did not vote for Obama, I will support his Presidency, I feel he has a good heart and is deserving of this chance, and congratulations to all the Obama supporters that I have had “words” with…I will keep an open mind, although I am concerned with Polozi and Reid path for the country..but I guess that is why, thank God, for periodic elections…GO INDEPENDENTS…Curiousindep signing off…

Linda,
instead of being bitter, sarcastic and hateful, maybe you should try being gracious and hopeful as Sen. McCain was last night.

No mandate, wake up. That amount of electoral votes is clearly an electoral landslide, whether you want to admit it or not.

How would you define “landslide?” Let’s look at some of the dimensions:
Obama has a 7.1 M vote lead right now.
Obama received the most votes in presidential election history.
VA and IN go blue for the first time in 44 years.
NC goes blue for the first time in 32 years.
NV goes blue in a blow-out for only the third time in 44 years.
CO goes blue for only the second time in 44 years.
Democrats have won the popular vote in 4 of the last 5 presidential elections.
Obama won more than double the number of electoral votes than McCain.
The following “toss-up” states went blue: IA, NM, OH, WI.
Obama did 5% better among white voters than John Kerry did.
If all of these figures were McCain’s and not Obamas, would you Republicans be calling it a landslide?

Obama deserves all the respect (or lack thereof) that the liberals have given to George Bush. You reap what you sow.

How great is this day?
I’m so encouraged to see support pouring in from all over the globe, and I feel a sense of hope and pride that had long been eclipsed by the shady politics of the current administration.
Now it’s time to get to work. Don’t be bitter, McCain supporters. Now you know how we felt in 2000 & 2004. :)

“This whole race has been a disgrace, 99% of the blacks voted for him only becuse he is black with no consideration of his background, experience, or his beliefs.”
It took a lot more than just the black vote to give him this landslide. My congratulations to President Obama and his supporters.

My congradulations to Mr. Obama on running a tremendous campaign. I am first & foremost an AMERICAN. Even though I do not agree with his policies…
I will do what most of you libs refused to do for Bush…I will support him as my President.
There is much work ahead and the new president is going tohave a huge task. It starts by ending all this foolish back & forth BS. I ask my fellow conseravtives to show more class and pride in our country than libs did after both the 2000 & 2004 elections.
John McCain said Country First and I beleive that is the way to move forward. It does not mean walking in lock-step, or agreeing with everything from the left. Let us also hope that Pelosi & Reid understand its time to stop the partisan bickering. We do not need anymore speech such as her’s before that first bailout package vote.
It is time to see if Obama, Pelosi & Reid can actualy DO what they talk about – Reach across the aisle and work together. The last 8 years were not a disaster because of GWB. It became a mess because the liberals were too bitter and vengeful about losing to work together and get the job done. It’s now our time to show them how good things can get accomplished.
God Bless America!

Quit whining people and support our president; but hold him to his promises that he has made all Americans!

And by the way, first poster, the current article uses Barak’s middle name to point out the unique accomplishment of someone getting elected President with a middle name like Hussein.
Those who made a point of using that middle name during the campaign did so only to spotlight Obama’s supposed “differentness” from us White People.
How often did anyone use McCain’s middle name? What is McCain’s middle name? I don’t even know.
That’s because there was no reason for anyone to try to use it to try to make either of those points.

Will the GOP spit out the giant hairball, or will that giant, angry hairball be all that is left of the Republican Party?
========================================
That giant hairball known as the Evangelicals. The GOP needs to cut them loose if it has any hopes for the future. America has become too diverse, it is composed of Christians, Muslims, and Jews.

Thanks to the media, and China, and Russia, and assorted Middle Eastern and African nations donating lots of money in small denominations. (Now a days, we got credit cards that are untraceable). Barak set a world record on campaign spending for an election 1 BILLION dollars!!!!!
He ought to be very proud that he bought the election. And think of all our friends he now owes!
Also, next year I just can’t wait until he does away with any coal mining industry. We hate that dirty fuel that pollutes our environment even if it supplies the majority of our energy requirements. After all, Barak says we will need to pay more for clean energy because “global warming” is killing us. While we are at it why don’t you also tax gasoline more so we use less of it? It might be even better for us to live in Communes! It is wasteful for one family to own a home when we can share the wealth with our neighbors! Then we don’t need to burn so much fossil fuels. Heck, you might be able to pile a whole block into one house and save on heating!!! Yes America, there are changes coming and it is time for us to sacrifice for the benefit of the masses!

I see the idiots are still foaming at the mouth..

Barack Hussein Obama!
Barack Hussein Obama!
Barack Hussein Obama!
BHO..BHO..BHO..BHO..!
Barack Hussein Obama!
Barack Hussein Obama!
Barack Hussein Obama!
For those who think a person is defined by their name, you can pull your heads out of your hindside now and join us in the real world. The false associations, name calling and fear mongering didn’t work. Lets all rally together and pitch in for a plane ticket to ship Palin back to the frigid north.

I remember Dubya claiming a mandate and political capital in 2000… after he lost the popular vote and squeaked by in electoral votes with a timely assist by the Supreme Court. Obama won both a landslide in electoral votes and a majority of the popular vote. And some Republicans are trying to claim he has no mandate? Come on, that’s just sad.

Regime change: Mission Accomplished!

“Oh, come on you Repub’s, sour grapes makes for a bad breakfast. It’s a new day, enjoy.”

Actually, it was a $**t sandwich. Funny that it tastes so good to the Obamadrones.

I doubt any of them graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law school :)
(you can crawl back under your rock now)

With full power it’s all on the Democrats now. They have run out of scapegoats.

He was born wherever he wants to be.

Voter confidence about the situation in Iraq has hit an all time high.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 51% of voters now expect the situation in Iraq to improve over the next six months. That’s up two percentage points from the preceding week.
Just 17% of voters now say the situation will get worse in the coming months, while 16% say things will stay about the same.
Does this mean Obama might change his mind and realize that defeating al-Qaeda in Iraq is equally important with al-Qaeda in Afghanistan?
Maybe not. How will they achieve Barney Frank’s 25% cut in Defense spending if we don’t surrender in at least one theatre of war?

the reason that it is ok to use his middle name now is because it is no longer possible for the brain dead to be convinced it is a reason to vote against him.the same way the MSM never mentioned that one of McCains sons was an executive in a Nevada bank that went butts up within 45days of his leaving.It was prejudicial but of no real relevence to the issues.I do the same thing when I don’t want to confuse my grandkids who are 3 and8 LOL

Hussein simply means handsome

So a “black” was elected? Baloney a mulatto was elected using the black card to get his white side in office. The guy is all business in white rallies and on TV, gets all “hood-speak” when he’s around the “brothers”. You think Oprah would have come out for the same person if his hair was straight and his complexion peach? Hell no she and others claiming they want equality are in most cases worse bigots than the whites that wear the hoods to hide their identities. Four years is a long time for things to boil up, I see a “change” coming but I think it may involve things we havent seen in 40 yrs, inside the borders rather than thousands of miles away in the desert. Not me but knowing people in general it wont sit on the back burner log before things change on their own and probably not for the better. We can only hope things do stay calm and people see the errors of this week 4 yrs from now when a new opponent runs against BHO in 2012. Damn even Hillary the socialist Clinton would be better than this week’s pick.

Chuck, are you really too stupid to realize the difference? You and your kind used his middle name in a purely derogatory fashion. This article is not attempting to do that in any way. I suspect you understand the difference and instead prefer to throw a childish tempar tantrum. Poor baby.

To you Obama supporters: Congratulations on a well fought victory. You deserve to celebrate. You won the battle, enjoy!
However, this is a war of ideas and convictions. So it is not over, it is never over. I look forward to meeting you again on the battle field another day. My goal is not to “kill” the enemy (you) but by my ideas convince you to leave the dark side (Joke) and come over to my side.
I will say that my side was handicapped by having a candidate that I had to hold my nose to vote for because the alternative (Obama) was worse in my opinion, and I am talking McCain not Palin.
So again Congratulations! Well Done! Enjoy the victory. See you tomorrow out on the battleground of ideas, where we both try to make America a better place.

First thought: Most of these posts are fine examples of why George Washington was opposed to political parties in the U.S.
Some of the posts here are fine examples of why it would be a good idea to actually start teaching U.S. history in the schools again. Some of you don’t seem to be aware of the fact that Ben Franklin voluntarily donated money to assist Muslims living in Philadelphia prior to the American Revolution build a mosque where they could practice their faith. Not all of the dead white guys who founded this nation were bigots. Surprise! ;)
Most Americans don’t have a problem with various religions as long as those who practice it are peaceful and respectful of their fellow citizens.
Second thought: Bringing the country together would be alot easier if BOTH sides would realize that bi-partisanship is a two-way street. Compromise has to come from BOTH sides if it’s going to work.
Without cooperation from BOTH parties we will get the same ol’, same ol’ from D.C. instead of “Change” for the better – which is what we should all want – even more than pathetic table scraps from inside the Beltway offered by politicians like a bribe for your vote.
We must not let future candidates craving unilateral power supercede own ability to spot a BS promise when we hear it.
Voting with our brains will keep us free, voting with our hearts can lead us into dependence. Be wary of giving government the power to ‘take care’ of you. People who need their government end up owned by their government.
