He could have work in a prestigious law firm at $100,000 income the first year. He had all the offer for coming at the top of his class from Harvard. But to get the funding for college was an agreement that he would serve the public. It was there that he met Michelle who was a year ahead of Barack and was to serve to be Barack Mentor in the program.

If Barack serves the presidency well, we may never want to go back. Maybe it takes a minority to not ignore all Americans when it comes to representing everyone. His acceptance speech pretty much undid the last 8 years of all Bush's speech.

I wouldn't use the term Monkey? but certainly may change the face of the black plight as we think of it now. Also the "Black Tax" and for the first time the phrase "once you go black, you don't want to go back" could be a wish for the 2012 race. I think he will do fine as our 44th president!

Rosa sat, so that Martin could march, so that barack could fly.

I just want to take this moment to thank contributors to this thread, two in particular -- gOOber and Notty.  I will always remember his very candid opening post for this thread -- as well as his ongoing candor about, say, dominatrix-style lust for Sarah Palin.  And Notty (and yes, she can call me Dru -- after all, when I mail something to Vixen, I'm usually "Drew L'Empire" ) dared us to convince her -- but she did both ask for it and sit still for it, and that is a degree of integrity too many of us are not up to.

And I've other thoughts -- but this seemed to be the most important thing to acknowledge here.

Even Hagar was ready for change.

I'd vote for him... even if he would likely legalize pot and outlaw the IRS!!  Wait a minute, there's no down side to that equation!

You know I don't care if Bush is ever prosecuted. We almost deserve everything we suffered from him because we let him get elected twice.

I am only concerned now with doing what we can to support Obama in his quest to fix it. It will be nice to have someone in office for a change whose main agenda isn't fleecing the American public for every last dime he and his freinds can squeeze out of us.

Good luck Obama, you're going to need it.

In secret? How about charging them with only the things they did bare ass naked in the light of day? I'm sure Bush'll get the traditional presidential pardon that comes with every new president... but in case he doesn't, let's not forget the example that the kinder, gentler government that he established in Iraq set when they brought Saddam to justice.

I just hope he governs from the center, we don't need quasi-socialism.

Thank you, boobies lover.  One of the most tell-tale signs of where the problem really lies was last night during the end speeches.

McCain spoke, and his supporters booed Obama.
Obama spoke, and his supporters quietly listened and respected McCain.

After two stolen elections putting the biggest dufus in history in office who turned out to be the worst president in US History, following the GREATEST President in US History (William Jefferson Clinton), you would think the republican Koolaid drinkers would show some basic decency and respect.

I guess it is not only beyond their grasp, but even beyond their reach.

Sad.

I wanna say something.

Despite all the high-pitched screaming on the commercials and, truth be told, from McPalin, Obama is in fact pretty conservative. During the primaries I sent money to Kucinich. When he dropped out, I sent money to Edwards. When he dropped out I sent money to Clinton. That pretty accurately describes a political arc from left to right over the past year.

Obama has major leadership skills. There is one absolutely essential skill that Bush totally lacks: The ability to say "No" to your friends. I expect to hear some "No"s to things I wish he would say "Yes" to. It's interesting, because Bush and Yassir Arafat were identical in that shortcoming; they were peas in a pod, and neither one could see it. And so both failed completely.

The Dems also gained seats in the House and the Senate. They best keep a leash on Nancy Pelosi, and don't let this success go to their heads. The last two times a party controlled both the Presidency and Congress, they overreached and lost Congress in two years.

And for all the talk about Race, I have to agree with a key official of the AFL-CIO (whose name I have forgotten, alas)addressing his fellow union members. "Here's a man who is going to fight for everything you want," (I paraphrase; I just heard the quote in passing on the radio today) "and you're not going to vote for him because of the color of his skin? Have you lost your ever loving minds?"

I think that the Media were the only ones making a deal of his race. Most people just wanted someone they could rally around and trust, and who wasn't tainted with the fiascoes of the Bush administration. I think most voters were simply tired of and frustrated with the Republicans, and were looking for a clean break, no matter who it was.
