		<description>And today, we go about the daily grind of accepting and meeting the Black person&#039;s burden.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Our media can&#039;t help but make Obama&#039;s victory all about Hillary.  Our media is practically demanding that Barack name her as Veep.  Our media has shown their true colors (and lack thereof).  Some won&#039;t acknowledge that the contest is over.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So it is, that Barack must assume the Black man&#039;s burden of being the victor, yet having to carry the loser on his shoulders.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m so proud.  And so honored to have emotionally and financially supported a man who represents not only my 44-year-old dreams, but the dreams of my parents, grandparents and their ancestors.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The occasion hasn&#039;t come around very often, so let me just say that *today* I&#039;m proud of my country.</description>

		<description>Finally chiming in after spending the evening with my parents, sister, brother their spouses and children.  two minutes in tears came from my eyes.  I got chills.  Nothing could wipe the smile off my dads face.  My little nieces, 5 and 8, where so excited be cause they knew that something was going on and they were part of history.  The 5 year old brought her Addy doll to watch with her because Addy was once a slave so she would want to see this.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This has been a truly wonderful night.</description>

		<description>Nightline did a great peace on the historic nature of Obama&#039;s win tonight. They&#039;ve interviewed Maya Angelou, Clyburn and Jessie Jackson. I can&#039;t believe it&#039;s on ABC!</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;I was very surprised by the unleashing of repressed anger over at CNN. I really though they were the Clinton New Network&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;::&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Read only these words of what you just wrote a few more times. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;See it yet?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Don&#039;t be surprised.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Because if you saw an uncharacteristic display of anger, it&#039;s &lt;i&gt;still&lt;/i&gt; the Clinton News Network.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;That anger is scripted.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Propaganda can only work if the people at which it&#039;s aimed remain disgruntled.</description>

<p>::</p>
<p>Read only these words of what you just wrote a few more times. </p>
<p>See it yet?</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be surprised.</p>
<p>Because if you saw an uncharacteristic display of anger, it&#8217;s <i>still</i> the Clinton News Network.</p>
<p>That anger is scripted.</p>
<p>Propaganda can only work if the people at which it&#8217;s aimed remain disgruntled.</p>

		<description>Michelle,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;damn, what you say resonates!  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I love Stephen King novels and since this whole drama began I keep feeling funny like I&#039;m reading a book of his and immersed in one of his apocalyptic battles between good and evil.  You know, like driving down that dark, lonely highway and there are things with fangs lurking in the shadows. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Hillary is the unholy thing with fangs.  Beware the Hillary!</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t feel like I think I should feel right now -- jubilant.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It&#039;s just.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We in this country (and probably the world) have sidestepped a very dangerous and very likely path, and this fact is officially real tonight.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We have sidestepped a path with destructive power the existence and depth and breadth of which we would not have known about until it was too late. This path led by someone with the image but not the reality of truly opposing the current administration and direction. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In this other path she would not have shown us the insanity until things got hard -- and they will. At which point I won&#039;t tell you what my soul feels as likely scenarios.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I know that path would have been a horrorshow. And I know that collectively, this country would have chosen that path if it had been the only one offered other then McCain. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If Senator Barack Obama had not run. If he had but had not been so successful. If his faith in the people in this country hadn&#039;t been met with that faith being made real enough to get him this nomination.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Tonight I feel like someone who has almost been in an accident, currently at the point where the danger is over and avoided, but my body and spirit are still reacting to the horror of what could have been.</description>

		<description>It may not be as personal for me as it is for the people here (I&#039;m white). But I&#039;m damn proud of my political party tonight. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If Obama can get the press to cover the speeches as a duel between him and McCain, he has it made. McCain was very foolish for trying to interject himself into the night. His speech was a dud--it was boring, there weren&#039;t any people behind him, the background looked like a cheesy rip off of Obama&#039;s, WTF is the slogan &quot;Leadership We Can Believe in,&quot; talk about mimicking. With that performance, McCain boxed himself into the new-Dole category. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Unfortunately, Obama still has to fight a rear-guard battle against Hillary Clinton, a shameless and classless politician worthy of no respect. What we need to start doing: talking up other potential running mates. Get the media talking about more than one running mate. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Barack&#039;s latest supporter--Sen. Jon Tester (D-Montana)--did so when he suggested Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer as a VP pick on TV. That&#039;ll get some attention, and it was a gigantic favor to the Obama campaign by Sen. Tester. Talk up Mark Warner, Tim Kaine, Jim Webb, Martin O&#039;Malley, Ed Rendell, Ted Strickland, Kathleen Sebelius, Clarie McCaskill, Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd, Russ Feingold--whomever you want to talk up. *Get other names out there*. The Clintons fear irrelevance the most. It&#039;s time to make them one of many, instead of just the one--which commands the spotlight, which they so crave. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The Obama campaign would also be wise to release a list of 50 people they&#039;re looking at for VP...A long list like that can&#039;t really hurt (as long as you make sure to include everybody who wants to be included on it).</description>

<p>If Obama can get the press to cover the speeches as a duel between him and McCain, he has it made. McCain was very foolish for trying to interject himself into the night. His speech was a dud&#8211;it was boring, there weren&#8217;t any people behind him, the background looked like a cheesy rip off of Obama&#8217;s, WTF is the slogan &#8220;Leadership We Can Believe in,&#8221; talk about mimicking.

		<description>Craig, tucker is a fucker.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Larry Elder is now on Larry King. I wish I could mute him &amp; let the others talk. I&#039;m going to question his mental health right now before he evev says word 1....OK, he isn&#039;t cracking on Barak. I guess I have to eat my words (chomp-swallow). Sorry Larry Elder. I misspoke.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;hellory is a bucktooth punk bitch. Not letting the Obama&#039;s have their day is so very petty. She sucks.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;How about that republican lady, KellyAnn? She spoke the truth &amp; shamed the devil tonight. She said that the repus are able to do what hellory is not able to do, which is to acknowledge Obama&#039;s victory. The looks on their faces when she finished; priceless.</description>

		<description>I am so happy tonight.  I just wish the girls had been with Michelle &amp; Barack on stage.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I&#039;m still dumbfounded at HRC&#039;s speech.  Props to various people on MSNBC &amp; CNN for calling her on it.  God, I&#039;m sick to death of her.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And yes Anoymous, I thought Barack looked tense too.  Worried me.</description>
