I was there for this--right on Bedford. It was an amazing night. I then headed over to Union Pool. Will go down as one of the best nights ever!

all this socialist talk, this comes from people who have never even visited a real socialist country, we are not even close to that . they listen to too much hannity and limbaugh on hang on every word

[xzcz875]

obama is a total fraud. you can already see with this stimulus package that pretty much paid off everyone on his side. He's a socialist and only the naive disagree.

Raising taxes on middle class to rich in order to provide for the free loaders, pieces of shit, and illegals in this country.

[Desertkingseattle]

Why is he a socialist? Facts! Will he abolish free markets which are so key to the US that he couldn't ever do that? Will he reform the market so you have a centrally planned economy? He cannot, there are laws preventing this. Health insurance has nothing to do with socialism. Most countries which provide it aren't socialist. In fact most of them rank among the world's most democratic and stable countries... Think about that but then again - thinking doesn't seem to be your best asset...

@xzcz875 lol. u sound REALLY intelligent.

Save a seal, club a liberal.

Williamsburg/Greenpoint have become just an all out party anymore for anything. It's crazy!

[lmk57]

I'll bet 1/2 the crowd has no idea what they're cheering for. You go up to them and ask them about why they like Obama. They turn around and say "change".

That's brilliant!

[drstone92]

Haven't found that myself. Most importantly, they want someone who realizes it's a good idea to know something about the rest of the world, and to act as if the rest of the world matters. It's that simple.

***

Take a look at those protesting AGAINST him recently -- and not spontaneously. They have no idea why they don't like him, just that, you know, they heard he's a Muslim, and he's a commie or something, and anyway Rush told them to (they do call themselves "dittoheads" after all...)

[mandarinhill]

I beg to differ. Most people who were/are for Obama know exactly why they are. His comprehensive view and understanding of the world and how to engage the cooperation of of varied peoples with varied beliefs. As the world gets smaller a global minded person with much smarts is definitely needed.

[mnbm786]

In other words a Marxist. If Obama gets a second term, it will be the end of the United States as we know it.  It will be a Socialist Republic.

[Desertkingseattle]

Explain socialist republic. Will he abolish the free market? Will he establish gulags? Oh, wait - that was Bush in Guantanamo, right? But that was great stuff, right? You don't even know what socialism means so just shut the f*ck up and read a book, stupid.

god. i grew up in this neighborhood. i dont mind the yuppies/ artists. i just hate the gentrification.

[kev8767]

i would have love to have been banging a cute hipster girl on top of a car while all of this was going on.

[carcultured]

I love to see people reinhabiting the streets. Streets for people. Not cars!!

[blingblingextra]

damn yuppies

[mikemogie]

not a yuppie in the entire crowd... thats an artist colony

[jr10036]

That's just crazy! It wasn't that long ago that you couldn't get a cab to go to Williamsburg for anything.

[mormess]

Fabulous! Well done all you clever people. Thanks Morgan for sharing this!

Colteroonies - I don't know what to say. Aren't people allowed to express their delight?

[colteroonies]

celebration is all well and good, but people must realize that this kind of celebreation is not what President-elect Obama would have wanted. this was civil disobedience, which would have been more appropriate had Obama lost.

[i3abyGi2L]

YESSSSS!!

anyone get the nypd chant "WE LOVE YOU"?

haha profound moment in history and mankind!

[sloanlogic]

yes it's posted now!

[aristotle313]

[Syntox]

Oh, it's times like this that I love my neighborhood :-)

[sloanlogic]
