Greatest Day in American history

You can hear the emotion in Keiths voice as he tallies up the votes.

It was amazing how quickly he was label as a ineffective President...in office for less than a year and it was coming. There is only one reason for it people...you people aren't fooing anyone. Black man as the front man of the US. Even if W was running for a 3rd time, some would have voted for him yet again. I'm just glad I lived to see this day happen.

This really was an incredible night! We all needed this so badly after 8 years of Bush.

@norjak71 how would you propose fixing healthcare?

[norjak71]

@james040280 healthcare? lol did you really just say that? do you know anything about "obamacare?" ahha. do some research before ya spout off next time ya fuckin moron.

[james040280]

@norjak71 bush put us in debt with the iraq war and the bailouts before he left office.  would you rather spend money blowing up iraq or building up American healthcare?

People are so impatient. Change takes time, it doesn't overnight. It takes the work of a lot of people, not just one. True one person can inspire change, but we all play a role in making it happen.

@MrJeffward the "i inherited a mess" is tired, no one asked him to run, by the way dumbass, you do know were like bililons of dollars in debt with china because of his supposed "health care reform" and what are we gonna do when china cashes in that loan, do some research next time moron. he is the worst president in recent memory.

[MrJeffward]

@norjak71 What are you saying???? He has done soooooo much more than Bush did I can't begin to say. We have to remember he inherited one hell of a mess. Bush did more damage to this country than any other president in history. I think Obama has done great under all circumstances!!!
