Jack & Jill Politics

IM DISGUSTED THAT HE WON! MAYBE THE NEXT ROAD I HAVE TO TAKE IS TO POP OUT A FEW KIDS AND QUIT MY JOB!

For a moment there, the americans had convinced me that racism was too deep rooted and that they would never elect anyone other than a white person in to the White House. They had also convinced me that they were quite happy with what they had and relish the thought of another eight years of the same. But I was wrong - and boy am I deliriously happy that I was wrong. Congratulations and well done America. It would appear that you do know your self worth and that you deserve only the best and not just that, you do know that what happens in America affects the rest of us in the world. I look forward to this new era..

WOW!

Yes, USA took off its old clothes.

A NEW DAWN indeed!

You actually did it!!!! I'm so happy for you all, for Black people everywhere, and for the world. Can you believe this is happening??? This is bananas!!!! How can one man be so AMAZING!!!? Oh man, I wish he was my Prime Minister!

O gave a great speech as always. He never disappoints. He seems so tired though, and perhaps now will be able to mourn the loss of his Gran. Michelle, our First Lady, looks so happy and radiant. Lord, please build a hedge of strength and love and protection around them. It seemed like I could detect a bullet proof vest on him and that breaks my heart.

Yes. A bullet proof vest and a bullet proof screen around him.

what happened to Michell Bachmann from Minnesota?

cnn.com is still calculating it. 47% to 43% for Bachmann

I hope that psycho heffer loses.

Awww....they're all dressed up, and colour coordinated!

NEW THREAD IS UP!

Good Bless you

President-Elect Obama

There are a half dozen slightly inebriated fortysomething sistas dancing in my living room, but I had to break away to say is this awesome or what? My emotions are all over the place but I wanted to say congratulations to my fellow JJPers. We did it!!! Best birthday present ever!

Back to the party.

Great visual. Have fun.

joy.

i can't believe it.

i knew it would happen.

i couldn't be any happier.

this is the BEST night.

i can't even imagine what it must feel like for those of you who are african american. i am so, so happy for you.

and i am happy ~ thrilled ~ for me. for all of us. what a grand day. hallelujah!

yes....President Elect...

I will sleep well tonight......

President Obama will have our back for the next four years.

'President-Elect' Obama - David Gregory just said it.

and, I'll point this out. 11:46 pmEST, and Indiana still hasn't been called.

or NC. i am gettting impatient. They're so damn close!

I always thought I would be so happy to hear that Obama won. And I think it's wonderful news. Unfortunately, I'm so miserable about the death of my cat, I don't feel the happiness about Obama that I was hoping to feel. So I can't leave the "happy comment" I thought I would leave. But even without the happy feelings, I know how wonderful this is for the entire country. Best wishes to all of you who, like me, cheered Obama on during all this time. I felt honored when I voted for him this morning, and I'll be proud to have him as my President.

I just came back to look at the responses. I thank everyone who responded to my comment below. Yes, his name is Ming Skadaling, and he almost made it to 20 years and 3 months.
I actually feel some good feelings (not sure if it's happiness) this morning about Obama's victory. Love is love, and he's a good guy, and we all know he'll do his best to make this a better world. Of course, in addition to being a good person, he's extremely intelligent, accomplished, and experienced. So I'm sure we have some great things to look forward to.

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your cat. I understand, friend. If my cat passed. I'd feel just like you. Go ahead and mourn. It's ok.

You mean ming, the one you named yourself on this site after? Oh I am sorry. I have my own little boy snoring next to me. This is his last year, I fear. They love like nothing else.

I am sorry.

oh honey, i'm so sorry about your kitty. (((hugs))) to you :(

I'm so sorry about the loss of your pet; I hope that when your grief is less raw you will feel all the wonderful feelings about Obama's victory that are in your heart----he will be President for a long time, and there will be many opportunities to celebrate that fact. So take the time you need to mourn your loss and know that others understand and empathize. We'll all be here when you're ready to join the celebrating.

I still ache over the loss of a dear cat of mine who died last January, so my sympathy is very genuine.

I'm 44, born two months after LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act into law. Right now, I'm happiest for our elders. My mother, who will be 81 next week, was born into Jim Crow and I'm d*** sure she's ecstatic now.
This will be good. Just so happy that Americans kicked the idiocy of J-Mac, SaySay, Joe the Plumber, etc. to the curb.

AKA?

Farewell Bush. Now it is time to undo the damage

There's a huge crowd of celebrators gathered outside the White House, as per CNN.

Did anyone notice that Arizona hasn't been called yet? There is still a chance for a terrible and embarrassing spanking!

nevermind..

I called my mom. My 95 year old granddaddy and 90 year old Aunt...I am so happy that my parents, my nephews, 19, 14, 13 have seen this day. I am happy beyond words. We have a long way to go in race relations, but Obama becoming President is a step in the right direction.

Obama has inspired not only blacks, but all of Americans, black, white, native american, east indian, asian, hispanic, it's so historic.

JJP have been my refuge for the past 2 years. Thanks so much for such a powerful tool and discuss politics.

PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!

SCHADENEFRAUDE!!

They have called Florida and Virginia for Obama. I want them all. Come on Indiana!!

Listening to McCain's concession speech now, it's interesting to see how positive he is; he actually sounds like Obama: positive, classy, generous. This is how Obama has ALWAYS been! I'm glad McCain was classy, but he should have been classy more often.

How different this campaign would be had he stuck to his promise of running a honorable campaign on the issues.

where was this for the entire campaign?

damn, he would have been better off telling rove to go screw himself


I AM BARACK OBAMA

Wow. Although it was inevitable I still am a bit stunned.

I know exactly how you feel!
When I saw that Obama went over 270, I had a quiet moment; I stood still and the world got very quiet.
I don't think I will ever experience that again.

I can't go to sleep until I see Sen Obama speak and the MO, IN and NC results. Let's get this poppin!


They have a sign up sheet for volunteers to help Bush pack his sh!t and get the hell out on Nov 5th. I signed up for the 3 - 8 shift.

Speaking of Palin, does she go back tomorrow?? This is so exciting!!

Hey, more time to shop for fancy snow boots to wear while on her snow machine.

The RNC will pay for it, of course.

John McCain is conceding right now.

I just got a report of fireworks and gun shots in brooklyn =/

Umm I heard fireworks in my hood in BK but no guns. Where were the shots heard?

Somebody tell the jiggaboo crowd to shut that shyt down. It's celebration time, but it's not time for America's Freaknik.

John McCain is giving his best speech of the campaign. He is real.

And he admonished his supporters to shut up the booing. This is the classiest I've seen him.

And he's giving one hell of a concession speech. But he just blew it with the mention of Caribou Barbie. Cindy's looking like she could slap homegirl for causing her husband to lose. She looks like she wants to cry, and the First Dude looks relieved...

McCain: "I don't know what more we could have done to win"

Oh, I don't know. Run a coherent campaign on the issues. Pick a credible running mate. When the economy tanks, have a sound economic plan. Stuff like that.

Dear God thank you for letting me live to see this day!

Jesse in in TEARS, Y'all.

I'm doing the snoopy dance. And McCaint is giving his concession speech.

Yes I did! It was very touching!

WOW OMG

Anyone watching Jesse crying on MSNBC?

Caught that before they went to McCain's concession speech. McCain finally acknowledged us and is making many references to African-Americans in history.

Cell phone lines are down.

You ain't lying. I can't get in touch with my sister.

"O" Man had me on my knees tonight. Thank you God, Thank you Jesus. Thank you Barrack. Thank you people of America!!!

YES WE CAN!!!!!

Barack Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh My God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

speechless

We did it !!!!!!!! Congrats !!!!!!!!!
I'm in shock !!!!! in a good way !!!!

We're both crying here.

It started in earnest when NPR just now reported that McCain just called Obama to concede.

Did he refer to Obama as "That One"?

"That One" just whipped your ass, McCain. Now go take it out on Caribou Barbie.

John Lewis is about to make me choke up as he shares his thoughts on Obama's election.

Barack Obamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Sublime. Nirvana.

Thank God, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

November 5th is my 60th birthday. Look what I got for my birthday! I thought I would write something deep and prolific... but I am without words. Joyful tears have drowned the words. Yes. We. Did.

OH. MY. GOD.

Craig,

and Florida, Virginia, North Carolina and Indiana and Colorado, Nevada, aren't even in.

Earthquake.

Yes, OMG, we did it.

I do not have the words to fully express what I am feeling tonight! No matter what the future may bring this great nation of ours, A NEW ERA HAS BEGUN!

HOW DO Y'ALL FEEL????????

There are no words to describe the feeling!

Ok,who's crying

I am the ORIGINAL bawler.

HUZZAH!!!

me.

Me.

I am

WE did it Yall! Yes WE can Yes We did!
