I love this video. No one currently on TV can make comments like this and still be funny. The Photoshop’d pictures are fantastic. Enjoy!

While last night was fun … now Obama has to do the actual job. Talk is great, and the 100,000 people rallies were great, but other then being the first African American president (which is wonderful), he has done nothing yet as the President. We CAN NOT lose sight of that important fact.

The job ahead of him will not be easy. It NEVER is for any President. Again I say - he has to actually accomplish something before I will put him on the same level with any of the other great presidents of the past.  This day and last night will pass and then what in the next four years? The jury is still out on how much “change” we will actually see.

I am hopeful he will be successful and at least some of the things he has talked about will become a reality. Remember people, it is just another day today. The day after yesterday. Regardless of the election results last night we are no better off yet. None of us.

Like I said I will remain positive that that he will be able to accomplish something, but we will see. Enjoy the day today, but keep it in perspective. All it is is another 24 hours. I voted for Obama so now he better produce for me/us.  We can not forget that in the short term bliss.

Let the celebration begin. Barack Obama, the 47 year old first-term senator from Illinois, has won the election and will become the country’s 44th President. Obama is the first African American to hold the nation’s top political position.

For me I am incredibly happy that the incredibly long two year odyssey that was the Presidential campaign is finally OVER. I could not take one more second of the boring debates, attack ads, and questions about Sarah Palin, and the word “maverick”.

So now the hard stuff begins for Obama. After all they hype and rock-star like big crowds have disappeared, he still is going to have to actually do the work to fix the country. I hope all of us who voted for him do not have false impression that he will be sworn in as President in January and magically the economy will be fixed and the war ended overnight. Both of these major issues will take years to be resolved. The tax breaks and cuts that were discussed endlessly, will not be passed and become reality without months (or years) of debate in the government. There is also always the chance that they will never be passed.

So tonight when McCain says goodbye and good luck, and Obama says hello and we win, take a deep breath and remember that it will takes years to address and start to fix the mess our country is currently in.

I love creativity that political campaigns bring it out every 4 years. There really is nothing like it, with the exception of the Super Bowl ads.

Remember the old Whassup Budweiser commercials that were popular a few years ago. This is the most famous of them -

Well someone VERY creative has updated the commercial as an Obama promotional video. This might be the best political video for either side I have seen yet. Very well done. Check this out -

Shouldn’t Joe Biden be smarter then this? Regardless of if he is a Delaware alum, he had to know that his comments about Ohio State could effect the voters in Ohio, a state historically obsessed with their college teams. As stupid as the situation is, he had to know that Ohio is one of the tightest Presidential race states with many polls showing only a 1 point difference between the Obama/Biden ticket and the McCain/Palin ticket.

From the CNN story: Biden in hot water with some Ohioans

(CNN) — Joe Biden’s off-the-cuff remarks on the trail have at times taken the Obama campaign off-message, but the Delaware senator’s latest riff just may have landed him in hot water with voters — and die hard football fans — in a key battleground state. (more…)

Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin finally hit the national news in an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Charlie Gibson. When questioned about being asked by John McCain to be his VP she said: (more…)

Who else saw the rock concert in Denver last night? You know the one with over 80,000 screaming fans in a football stadium cheering, dancing, singing, and screaming until they lost their voices. Stevie Wonder and Micheal McDonald performed and electrified the crowd. And oh yea … Barack Obama gave his acceptance speech to officially be the candidate for the Democrat party.

There was lots of news and media coverage and for a week it was all Democrats all the time. It was interesting to see but I wonder how many people watched, but didn’t actually listen. I wonder how many tuned in to see the popping camera flashes, the famous musicians sing, X-President Bubba Clinton with (more…)

What would any major party do in an election year and with the sudden absence of its leading candidate? We almost found out last month.

Just 41 seconds after discovering he no longer had full control of the plane’s up and down movements, the pilot told an FAA air traffic controller “at this time we would like to declare an emergency and also have CFR [crash equipment] standing by in St. Louis.”

An FAA spokesperson acknowledged today that its statements at the time of “no emergency” were wrong…

Some scary scary news tonight from ABS about just how serious the problems were on Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign plane last month. (more…)

The internet is already buzzing. News stories are talking about it all over. Is this one of those speeches that is remembered for all time?

I have no idea, but this happened yesterday in Berlin Germany and I have already had it emailed to me 6 times in different mass emails. so people seem to be talking about it. (more…)

Again, all that really can be said is this - WHAT IN THE WORLD took Obama so long????? This was not brain surgery. This was simply moving as far away from a person or situation that was directly and negatively affecting his chances to become President. And this was not a questionable situation. It was blatantly obvious to everyone, literally everyone.

So finally, after months and months of his old pastor making inappropriate speech after speech, Obama finally could not longer be associated with him and officially resigned from the church he and his family had been members of for decades.

If Obama had not remained a leader for the Democratic nomination for President I am sure this would have never happened and (more…)
