Barack Obama Presidential Victory Speech pt 1/2

A crowd of 125,000 people jammed Grant Park in Chicago, where Obama addressed the nation for the first time as its president-elect at midnight ET. Hundreds of thousands more — Mayor Richard Daley said he would not be surprised if a million Chicagoans jammed the streets — watched on a large television screen outside the park.

If there is anyone out there who doubts that America is a place where anything is possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer, Obama declared.

I cried like a bitch. Just think of where our country was 50 years ago and what we've accomplished today. I just hope everyone comes together in the end. Despite our differences we are one nation, one world.

"Obama is still suffering from the Speech Illusion, the idea that he can come down from the mountain, read from a Teleprompter, cast a magic spell with his words and climb back up the mountain, while we scurry around and do what he proclaimed.

The days of spinning illusions in a Greek temple in a football stadium are done. The One is dancing on the edge of one term.

The White House team is flailing — reacting, regrouping, retrenching. It’s repugnant." --Maureen Dowd, New York Times, 9/4/11

lonelywalker...: Why just Bush and Cheney? Just put all Republicans on trial. Ban the opposition. They're evil homophobic racists. Shoot them. Don't waste money on a trial.

Message to the Republicans:

Next time please get a candidate who can raise his arms above his fucking head, and choose a Veep with a penis.
