Election Night Revelry
As you may have guessed, we're overly busy tonight. Most of today's articles were written long before we went to work and published via cellular technology - the wonders of the 21st century never cease to amaze.
We assume there was an election tonight. We assume Daley's slate won most of the local races. We'd hope that the national trends moved away total disaster and saved the filibuster at least. We aren't going to be as childish as some of our recently and not-so-recently banned commentators and make the declaration that this Democrat "isn't our president." The fact is, like it or not, he is our president. So be it.
America has voted. We don't have to like it and we will support every legal means to make sure he's a one-term president like Carter was. And if that means pointing out his broken promises, lies, shady Chicago connections, policies detrimental to taxpayers, policies wrong for American allies and any other thing we feel like commenting on, then we're well within our rights and duties as citizens.
We're sure we'll be called all kinds of racists for the above statement as we've been called for the past few months just for pointing out the little that we did during this campaign. We'll keep flushing those down the drain, too.

A car with the bumper sticker "He's not my president" wouldn't last long, unlike the cars with them on for the last 8 years.
Tolerance from the left is reserved for criminals, illegals, and murders.
A copper in 003rd district stated that he heard spectators yelled at him "Obama" is in office you are going to serve me now.....
So he's not your first choice. Why not see what he can do before you start voting in 2012?
What was utterly disgusting was all the libtards hanging on the messiah's every word like some sick cult, chanting "yes we can" made me want to vomit. I guess the saying "you can buy an election" is true, with Obama raising and spending more than any other election.... so much for his promise to just use public funds like McCain didd,now we wait to see what other promises get broken.
Look for Rahm Emmanuel and John Kerry to get cabinet posts, and don't forget a black must be appointed to replace him! the next four yrs will be a wild ride.
025 and 015 up for grabs...rocks, bottles being thrown at cars, One radio per car and the dispatchers are dog shit.

Nice sentiments. Like him or not come January 20th he is the only President we will have. When he is right support him. When he is wrong oppose him.
I read this earlier:
On the night of his landslide victory over Hoover, in 1932, in the depths of the Great Depression, Franklin Roosevelt had an intimate conversation with his son James:
“You know, Jimmy,” Franklin said, “all my life I have been afraid of only one thing—fire. Tonight I think I’m afraid of something else.”
“Afraid of what, Pa?”
“I’m just afraid that I may not have the strength to do this job.” He paused reflectively. “After you leave me tonight, Jimmy, I am going to pray. I am going to pray that God will help me, that he will give me the strength and the guidance to do this job and to do it right. I hope that you will pray for me, too, Jimmy.”
Good luck Mr President Elect, if you screw up we all suffer.
just got home from 003. no problems on our end. a few shots fired, but i've heard more during NYE.
I read you and respect you, whoever you may be. I wondered about the 'paranoia' of your 'rally' posts. I believe much of what 'you' say. You are on the streets most of us never see.
You were wrong. Maybe, in more ways than one.
And I still respect you. And if ever I meet you, I'll prove it.
Is it so hard to accept these words...?
"And for those who did not vote for me, I'm your president, too."
I just wish I could know how anyone can call white people racists after this election, if anyone does (and assuming that you are, who knows). I mean, white people were fairly well split on Obama, as were many other 'minorities', and as a group didn't have any real issue with his colour, even those who voted against him. In fact, the only group that wasn't was black people, who almost solidly as a group voted for him, and who most often cited his colour as their reason.
So, when can we sit back and be honest and just admit that it is only OK to be a racist in this country if you are black, and that, by and large, they are the largest group of racists in this country now, by colour?
Not likely, but oh well.

WITHOUT SCC, THIS WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE...THANK YOU! CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:
The above question had two parts on the ballot, one on each side... I was informed that if you only answered one part, your vote would NOT COUNT. What kind of bullshit was that, trying to pull a fast one over the voters?!
A Chicago Machine Politician in the White House....What could be the matter with that? I can't wait to see his cabinet appointees. Then Daley and Blago, and Stroeger can appoint more of their political cronies to replace them...Higher taxes, no problem. Cut out the Bush tax cuts. Technically thats not a tax increase. When I heard the word Change, I expected some. Olympics, here we come at Goverment expense. Airport funding, here we come. Infrastructure improvements, while necessary here we come at an alarming rate. Higher crime rates, here we come. It all works so well here in Illinois. Where is the change? Where is the Beef?
My wife and I were just talking about the election and the implications of what he has said as of late. I hope I am wrong, but I feel everything he wants to change will just set this country back even more. I was telling her about how much tax I used to pay under Clinton. I hope those days don't return.
Obama will be judged on some key issues that will affect us all:
Taxes - who's rich? Under Clinton I was apparently even though I only made about 18 to 20K at the time. What's the cutoff now?
Economy - tax the shit out of the rich, capital gains, inheritance. Give businesses no incentives to be productive. Herbert Hoover took the same actions and brought us into the depression.
Foreign policy - he wants to negotiate with people who can't be negotiated with. Iran, Hamas, PLO, Hezbollah all want us dead and wiped off the planet. All they need is just a stern talking to, that will fix them!
Iraq - he's going to pull all of our troops from Iraq. Good idea, because everything was fine when we left Vietnam. That's ok though, when Iran takes control of Iraq and controls the Persian Gulf I'm sure they will let our oil go through... like 200 per barrel.
Oil - we won't be drilling for oil in our own country now so how are we going to deal with the dependence on foreign oil? He'll spend billions on alternative fuel research, although cars that run on hugs and happy thoughts sounds nice, he'll do nothing to address the problem at hand.
I hope I'm wrong but time will tell. And just like lib-tards who pointed out every little mistake, hiccup, mispronunciation, stumble Bush made, I'll be right there throwing it in their faces.
Thank you, SCC, I'll be checking in daily to read your commentary. I feel the same as I did on election night, 1976; in other words, not very good : (
12 hours at time and a half. All of it spent prepared to be sent somewhere but never going anywhere. All days off cancelled, all watches. And no transportation in the event we were deployed. None, you all know the squad car situation. No help there. No second wagon. No extra cars. No buses.
In an emergency we would go by regularly scheduled CTA bus to the Red line and then board a train. Is that brilliant or what? Or we would walk from area 3 to downtown or the west side or wherever.
None of the brain trust thought to have a bus standing by for the rest of us. The rest of the suburban force had their own squad cars etc. We had nothing and certainly not enough radios to go around. Plenty of supervisors however.
Why is Obama President?
It is simple:
George Bush's horrible legacy of possibly being the worst president ever. His actions caused the first black and super liberal president to get elected.
If you want to know why McCain lost, all you have to do is look at the last 8 years.
If George Bush's Presidency wasn't so horrible, I highly doubt Obama would be our President.
In the end, McCain or Obama, I'm happy George Bush is gone. Peroid.
One word says it all OBAMA
YES WE DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love the shot of jesse jackson crying, this can't be good for his business
I am a black female and I have no problem with you calling him out. I just hope you will keep your commenters in check. They always go too far. Obama is a socialist, pure and simple. Unfortunately for many of us, his race was more important than his policies. That and many people were also voting against Bush.
I worked the motorcade detail tonight. I dont like the new president at all. That doesnt matter. I signed up to protect this land. I will respect my president. I will respect the office even if I dont like the man who holds it. Yet another peacable transition of power unlike the overwhelming majority of the rest of the world.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
One of the consequences of this election will be increased scrutiny by the Justice Department and the FBI of our actions when we must use physical force or when Flint Taylor claims we acted out of bounds.
Keep this in mind and be careful when responding!
Well said, sir....as disgusted as this Boston Police Officer is by the outcome, I'll hunker down, deal with it, and continue to do my job to the best of my ability. The gloaters can gloat, but they'll eventually be sorry for it....
Awwww. Cheer up fellas! Are our forces leaving Iraq and Afghanistan today? Did someone announce that the Pentagon's budget has been slashed by 90% and we'll be closing some of our 700+ military bases around the globe?
You guys should be ecstatic now that Obama has put a smiley face on Pax Americana. USA! USA! USA! Yeah!
At least all these killings on the south and west sides will come to an end. Right....
did you ever consider that maybe he might do a good job as president. you never know. and if you think you know before his 4 years have started you're displaying your ignorance. be fair and give the man a chance.
I just woke up from a dream. Surreal--we are in a time warp and those that aren't topless are wearing tie dye shirts.
Where am I? Why it's Golden Gate Park.
Pass the bong, my brother.
As a civilian with many CPD family members, I'm relieved everyone seemed to be OK. You all deserve a big thank you for keeping us safe. Get some rest today.
I am also within my rights to act exactly as these socialists...not democrats, but socialists...that have elected this enigma have for the past four years.
I am going to sit back, be divisive, be negative, and hold him responsible for every thing that goes wrong...those that he is actually responsible for...which will be plenty, believe me, and those for which he is not.
Every single death from terrorism on our soil that occurs from here out you better fucking take responsibility for. You fucking socialists elected this scum of the Chicago Machine, you have invited terror back onto our nations soil, and the blood will be on your hands for every single innocent life taken.
RIP USA, welcome to the United Socialist States of Diversity.
Who needs this aggravation and stress? I'm gonna pull the pin and join the U.S. Secret Service assigned to presidential security.
Thank you for revealing yourself.
Bitter much?
Oprah (harpoon ass) is as fake as they come. Crying only on camera.......like Jesses Sr., he let the same single tear drop down his face all night for a camera effect.
Wait until the country and the world see what chicago politics is all about!
So he's not your first choice. Why not see what he can do before you start voting in 2012?
A lot more that was done in the last 8 years and what about all the riots and the City burning that was talked about so much? Nothing like that at all, only happy people. So people take it like a man Obama won. Yes we did!!!!!
Time to dust off my I MISS REAGAN t-shirt
SCC and all right winging/"conservative" cops: get over it. I am a very moderate Republican. Senator Obama is now President-Elect Obama. We need to move on. I don't agree with Obama on everything, but one thing we need to do is fix our economy before ALL of the wheels come off. We need a fresh approach to dealing with our foreign allies and adversaries. We have a lot of work to do. In four years we will get another chance. Then is the time to dissent and vote Mr. Obama out if the electorate chooses.
Hey you black female why do we have to be in check why dont you go to wvon 1690 and tell them to stay in check. If you dont like freedom of speech (remember) then dont log on. I only hope is that this Camelot is like the first
I hope Blago appoints himself as is his right!!! HA.....
hmm, i am a supporter of Obama but i think that my support comes from a place of maybe he can offer some change, i am in no way giving him free reign and saying "oh ok" with anythng he does, i will look for results and if he doesnt produce, i will vote for someone else. i am not a fairy tale kinda guy, i believe in reality and my reality is that chicago has the most murders in the nation and we still dont ahve a real chance at concealed carry laws. will our new democratic president make that happen nation-wide? probably not, but we gotta start with these fucked up aldermen first, then daley, and so on. give the guy (obama) a chance before you crucify him. maybe he will surprise some of you...

And McCain and the Republicans are NOT Socialists? You idiot! You freaking idiot; the Republicans voted for the 700 billion dollar bailout, bailing out "troubled homeowners" and even reducing credit card debt (they are planning to do that later), etc... Where is the difference? Are Republicans really for the free market? I don't think so. When companies are making profits, they are private and when they lose money the losses are Socialized. What a business concept! And these so called Republicans allowed this to happen with a Republican President! You better do your research before posting one sided opinions!
be fair and give the man a chance.

This is the U.S. of America.
Love it or get the heck out.
Now let's get that contract settled and get on with it.
Let's see him:
Restore my losses on my Deferred Comp.,
Put Richie and most of the Chicago politicians in jail,
No terrorist attacks,
Keep taxes low and make gas under $1.50.
Not too much to ask for.
Then I might vote for him in 2012.
OK, SCC, TOP 10 LIST, What would make you vote for Obama in 2012?
Consider this, what if Obama does a good job? What is he does a real good job? Would he still then be hated by the neo cons among us and staunch right wingers?
I for one don't want to lose my right to buy a weapon of my choice, you know gun control will be on the agenda somehow but I don't think that is our biggest problem right now. Avoiding a bad depression is and so is keeping America safe. And how about getting some of those jobs back that are now held by Asians. In Asia.
Cutting tax breaks for companies that sent jobs overseas seems OK by me.
Give this man the same courtesy we gave George Bush. Somehow I can't imagine Obama fucking up as badly as Bush.

I've been hearing things like that for months now... let's see how long it takes to hear it today when I go to work.
I'll keep you posted.
Once the Chicago machine looks to Barry excuse me PRESIDENT Barry, once the dust settles and the likes of emil, jesse (jr & sr) bobby, et al put their arms around PRESIDENT Barry, he will hear a collective whisper asking "Now that WE got you elected...what are you going to do for me???" And that will be a crossroads for the young President... Turn his back on these dirty handout seeking pieces of shit and risk being an "uncle Tom" who "doesnt care about the community he came from" or give in, play Chicago politics, but on a national level, let the world see what happens when you elect a Chicago MACHINE politician to the highest office, and watch this country fall even deeper in the toilet! If I were a betting man, Id guess the latter... but Im not, so best of luck, President Barry... so goes the President so goes this country! To wish failure on the President means wishing failure on the entire country... And I love this country too much to do that!
Remember Cozzi!
Remember Burge!
You could be next!
So long as he doesn't raise my taxes, or enact more "gun control," - it's only 4 years.
I fear the democratic congress more; they are the ones who are truly damaging to the american way. One man doesn't make as much of a difference as those assclowns do. Just seeing Jan Schakowsky win made me want to jump off a building. Who votes for these people?

You are absolutely correct.
If Bush did a better job, McCain would be president.
However, doesn't that just prove how intolerant blacks and the left are? Blacks think a black president is good. People think republican is bad because of Bush. Liberals think conservatives are bad.
The nation is polarized beyond repair and because so many, who profess tolerance, refuse to be open minded. Many blacks, already believing they are entitled to assistance, might now believe they are invincible; a dangerous position for the police to be in. Liberals believe he'll fix the country and world in one swoop of the pen, again a dangerous position for us all to be in.
Prove me wrong Obama:
Higher taxes will hurt us all.
He can't make the world like us.
There is a terrorist threat.
Terrorists will not negotiate.
Terrorists want us all dead.
There will be another attack.
Iraq will fall without our support.
Iran will gain control of the gulf.
Gas will be $10 to $20 a gallon.
Bush is gone, and I can't say that I'm relieved, but whoever the president was going to be, they would have their hands full.
He's the president now regardless and I'm along for the ride regardless. I pray to God he proves me wrong.
I wonder if half of the comments posted on this blog would exist if obama was white. You guys got to give him a chance. Bush fucked up this country for eight years and you wont even talk about that do you. He slashed the funding for local police departments all across the U.S. by 90 percent in his eight years in office to funnel all of that money into homeland security. And now it has come to light that all the funding transferred to homeland security was mismanaged ie, failed technology, virtual fence, and a slew of other things. Give Obama a chance before you start to label him the one president who is going to bring down this country. Most of the negative comments towards Obama are because of the color of his skin. We have some of the most racist police officers on this fucking department. Grow up, it is 2008 not 1968. Get over the color issue and give this guy a chance. If his presidency fails then feel free to post all of the negative comments you want. But to crucify him before he has even stepped a foot in the white house, come on.
Jesse Jackson was only crying because he was thinking "it should have been me,,,,it should have been me"
Continue the fear-mongering. Obviously it is working.
Bitter much?
Not at All. Racism is over!!!! No man/woman of color can blame whitey for their problems. Jessie Jackass of Al Sharp-tongue can't shout or rhyme that their people are victim of the "man". Obama was not my choice, no experience, muslim sympathizer (sp?) etc.. nice fella, good speaker but doesn't make a good leader... the sheeples of America have spoken and as a loyal citizen of this great and blessed country we must give this elected individual a chance.
If he surprises me and proves me wrong and leads with moderate policies and forsakens his far left liberal bullshit...he may have another fan...
Yea this election was about race; it always is. I'm white and I wholly hearedly support Obama. Bush was a complete disaster! Let's unite and give thie guy a chance, for the good of the country. What I love about this whole thing is the "feeling" the country now has. I have not seen such emotion is a long, long time. Unite people. Barack is our president now!
just 1 thought on who's a socialist. didn't the bush administation spend government $ to bail out and buy up banks in the u.s? sounds like socialism to me. spare me this holier than thou shit. they fuck up on both sides of the aisle. they all lie cheat and steal to keep their jobs and power. if you can't see that you're blind or stupid. obama is gonna makes mistakes. lets just hope they're fewer than bush has made. no matter who won yesterday, it almost has to be an improvement.
Thank you, SCC, I'll be checking in daily to read your commentary. I feel the same as I did on election night, 1976; in other words, not very good : (

11/05/2008 07:16:00 AM
On election night 1976, after the team of Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale, both ultra-liberal idealist honorable Democrats, had been declared the winners of the election, a frank conversation with a good neighbor and friend revealed he had voted for Carter-Mondale, and I had voted for Gerald Ford and Robert Dole. I sincerely related that I hope in four years I could say the country had made a good choice. Sadly, that day did not come. We suffered through a terrible economy created by Carter's presidency and policies.
Yesterday, I voted for a great AmeriCAIN hero, but he lost to an ultra-liberal Democrat. I wish Obama-Biden luck, but the rest of the country, especially the young voters, are not aware of the depth of corruption in the Chicago-Cook County-Illinois Democratic machine, which is where Obama learned all he knows about politics. All considered, I wish us all luck.
I say again, 32 years after the first time, I hope the country made a good choice and I can say it was a good choice after four years have passed. We will certainly see.
The Obama suppporters with tickets were 20:1 white/black dressed in expensive clothes and older. It looked like they were going to a Bush/Cheney rally, or the Halliburton Christmas party.
The non-ticket crowd was about 10:1 white/black. Dressed in gym shoes and jeans, and very young. Very idealistic, and enthusastic. Very well behaved considering how fucked up the planing and logistics were.
Heard these kids chanting USA,USA after Obama reached 270. Saw a lot of American flags and only one of those stupid globe flags.
I saw about 5 anarchists with their black flags, but the crowd was so happy no one joined in on their crap.
On such a momentous night, Jesse Jackson Sr. was so emotional and moved to tears. I wonder why he did not see fit to share the momentous occassion with his young African-American daughter, a child from a relationship outside his marriage. It is sad he did not have her there to witness history in the making. Also, I didn't see Mrs. Jackson at his side.
Jesse Jackson Sr, the phony bastard, was not crying about Obama's election. He was crying about how the divorce settlement and the child support was going to steal everything he has "stole" from his people over all these years. Serves the son of a bitch right.
Constructive advice for ANY person hoping for a conservative comeback in this country: start looking for conservative leadership NOW. The entire current crop of Republican leaders has to go, and new conservative (small responsible government, pro-individual-liberty) leadership must emerge.
Or you can just keep name-calling and fearmongering. Its gotten the Republicans this far already!
Hopefully the real conservatives will stand up now. Because other than Ron Paul and a few house and senate Republicans, there is no sign of conservative leadership anywhere now that GWB and his crew sold us down the river.
That anyone could defend Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Paulson, Bair, or any of the other idiots in this administration is absolutely stunning. That McCain did not entirely disavow their idiotic agenda is one of the root causes of his loss.
It was really a sight to see, over 100,000 doing the electric slide on Michigan Ave. Boogey woogey woogey woogey.....
What's great is that now that Bush is done, the democrats will have to find someone new to blame everything on; remember, as low as Bush's approval rating is, Congress is lower...
Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, we are in serious trouble....
...how exactly can you tell if someone was only crying on camera?
North Korea taking down it's nuclear reactors, Iraq wants US out, and Talban wants peace talks. OBAMA WE CAN
What was utterly disgusting was all the libtards hanging on the messiah's every word like some sick cult, chanting "yes we can" made me want to vomit. I guess the saying "you can buy an election" is true, with Obama raising and spending more than any other election.... so much for his promise to just use public funds like McCain didd,now we wait to see what other promises get broken.

I guess you can buy and election, a prime example is Florida in 04 asswipe
I wonder if the darling of the media BHO will be taken to task when he screws up, as the press had done with every little thing the republicans did the elite media did not like. Yeah, sure they will !!
OK-Time out, the United States went off the gold standard back when Nixon was president. Everything about our currency since then has no backing. Why are so many of us worried about the economy. The country is about 44% owned by foreign investment. As for the president elect, there's still 435 congressman and 100 senators to deal with. I dont think they're going away. I explained to some co-workers about how the younger voters were so enamored back in '76 when Jimmy Carter crawled out from beneath all those peanut shells and his brother Billy was wizzing on buildings all over D.C. Don't sweath the small stuff. I thought Grant Park looked great on the tube last night. Hey, it's only 4 years. You should be able to do that standing on your head.
Last night was a little nuts on the south side. The gunfire made it sound like a war zone. People hanging out of apartment windows shouting out,"Presidents black, haha" and "My "n" obama in the muthafuckin white house now." My last post was moderated, not sure why, but it seems like people think that Obama is going to be the second coming. You won't have to pay your mortgage or buy gas anymore.

No, you still have no idea what you are doing here. Please realize that you will be a four year President that will be remebered as MORE INCOMPETENT in the publics eye than George W. BUSH.... SNL wont be able to make fun of you, because the whole liberal world will not want their stupidity to be exposed...... Good luck Mr. Prez'dent..... Start getting ready for the reality of the JOB. P.S. Can I stop paying for my mortgage and gas now, or do I have to wait???
Barring the unforseen, President-Elect Barack Obama's first full day in the Oval Office will occur under the sign of AQUARIUS!

Uhhhhhhh, NO! Please.... be for real..... Thank God he has Biden to answer the hard questions.... Oops, should I have said "Allah"?
time to dust off my i miss reagan t-shirt
RE: Con Con bsllot. Was also told to vote on just the front. Said the back meant nothing (lower right side) Questioned why was it written in Spanish with a Si instead of a Yes, No wasn't changed. So much for the again legit voting in this City!!! Screwed them though & checked no anyway.
good luck & stay safe. First thank you from Obama, Emanuel will be on his Staff. Oh wellllll
Now that my brotha got elected, I can: quit shooting/snorting heroin, smoking weed, drinking booze, bothering people for money, stealing catalytic converters/cars/money, robbing people, murdering/raping people, take a shower, stop slinging dope, gangbanging, etc. and buy me a house with a white-ticketed fence and get a job with a third grade education. Today is a new day.
Yes I can.

I guess Jesse will stand behind BO now huh? If I was O, I'd turn my back on the piece of shit and refuse to deal with his racist ass! Get the F*** off the stage you asshole (J.J.)!!! Let the President do his thing without your stupid ass messing up the picture. J.J. is the worst type of scum, a TRUE RACIST hiding behind religion..... God called, he said to tell J.J. to go F*** himself!
You have to admit.....you are one racist son of a gun.But its your blog, say what the hell you want.
I'm sure this won't make it to the comments but for what its worth, your great b/c you are only being you.
Keep up the great work! If anything at all, you do keep us informed.
OBAMA NATION!!!!
Congratulations Amerkia you just voted Santa Claus' half brother into office, but instead of getting Christmas presents on 25 December, you will be getting free gas, mortgage payments, medical care, utility vouchers every month for doing nothing.
Let's here it for Obama Claus.
"The Box Chevy Phantom" says...
shortshanks has beshat his underoo's with joy at the news...
the prospect of direct and virtually unlimited access to the white house means money, money, more money and power.
i would imagine he was running around the mayoral compound like a non potty trained, hyperactive 3 year old on a Christmas morning candy binge and the sugar-plummy visions of no more Fitzgerald, 2016 Olympics,running brother billy ("i'm not a lobbyist") for governor, positioning friends and family for the continuing bareback back door gang banging/sore areola biting of upright and hard working tax payers (while providing aid & material comfort to the non-contributing, a firing squad worthy offense) along with the further destruction of this once proud Police Department (however flawed it was/is).
the only joy will be seeing the look on the westside joes faces when they realizes that other than skin color, BHO doesn't have anything in common with them... in a word, joe ain't got shit coming but a hard way to go & a short time to get there.
so flame away if you want, i have no problem calling ANYONE on their bullshit, especially my so called "cousins" (my "brothers & sisters" go to work, raise their children and are aware of the rights and duties of true citizenship regardless of color, orientation or place of origin etc... *LEAVING SOAPBOX*), but that's for another day/another time.
stay safe...
"pea soup green 86 chevy sedan w/1 whitewall tire, 4 different hubcaps for $5 from maxwell st... is y'all the po-leece for real?"
The election was a referendum on Bush because he did not keep greedy Democrats like Obama in tow. Obama took money from the big oil companies, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. He was one of the causes of our economic problems. He's not just a socialist. He loves money too. He doesn't crave power as much as he craves wealth.
The only reason why Jessie Jackson was crying because the election of Obama put his race baiting, dumb ass out of business.
The racism argument died yesterday. Someone brings it up, two words and walk away: Barry Obama. You hear that Moperah, Doperah, Father Flatulence, Al, and the rest of the race baiters. We don't want to hear it again. Your twisted view of america as racist is exposed to show you are all frauds, now go and hide in the shadows like the cockroaches you are and wait for a peanut to fall out of Obama's ass so you can eat it. It's ironic because the only thing that ever came out of your mouths was SHIT anyway.
Thank you, come again.
Great bumper sitcker:
Obama: The next Jimmy Carter.
thank the good lord that no peace officers were seriously injured last night. three of our fraternal brothers have already been murdered this year. now comes word that officer airhart has passed away. will sally be charged with murder now ???. he is already doing life plus 132 years.
You know Daley has the goods on Obama and could destroy him with a leak to the press. Daley now runs it. He is the man!!!!! He did it to Santos, Braun, Blago to name a few. With Daley in charge of the country it will really be a mess!!!!! Good bye Fitz it was nice knowing you.
"Obama, BITCH AS POLICE!!" "Obama I'm GONNA BE RICH BITCH!!"
This one from 63rd and Rockwell
The comparisons to the Carter Admin. are the most troubling. Gas shortage because OPEC said fuck you.
Hostages taken because the terrorists said fuck you.
Talk only goes so far. Carter was a talker; a diplomat, not a president. Obama is a talker. I see too many similarities between the two. ROUGH TIMES AHEAD.
did you ever consider that maybe he might do a good job as president. you never know. and if you think you know before his 4 years have started you're displaying your ignorance. be fair and give the man a chance.
Hey fuckstick,
How would you rate his performance as a senator?
Oh yeah, you can't because he didn't shit to be evaluated.
How about as a state senator?
Again, you can't because he didn't do shit for the state either.
Each time he has been elected to office he immediately began campaigning for a different office, Instead of doing his job.
Has he crafted any legislation of his own and attempted to get it passed? No.
He is the figure head for a party that now has a majority in congress, and with him at the helm, he won't veto shit. That's why he's in office.
African-americans should be ashamed that he heads the party that fought to keep their enslaved ancestors just that.
he blamed bush at every turn. he now must step up and be accountable as president. now the finger points at him....i think his universal healthcare will cost ''taxpayers'' 3 times what we pay now. i think when he pulls out of iraq a violent civil war will occurr and iran will enter the war and do a land/oil grab. i think he ll give some sort of legal statue to the 12-20 millions illegals here in the US.all potential democratic voters. i think he ll tax us rich people that make more than 50k a year. i think he ll try to amend our right to have guns....
did you ever consider that maybe he might do a good job as president. you never know.
********
Nor for a second.
Yes, I do.
He won't. He is a socialist and against the Constitution.
Blacks stick together whether right or wrong they will stick together. White people can't grasp this concept, and thats why Obama was elected. Race was never brought up at all in the last few months because whites would be considered racist. Well I don't have to respect him or the office he holds just like all of the Bush bashers have done. Bush didn't create any of this shit thats going on, i.e. the economy (Clinton giving out housing loans to everyone who applied), or the war in Afganistan, or taking down Saddam Hussein. He did what needed to be done and to his credit didn't sit back and take it like the Dummocrats will do. I didn't see Bushs name on the ticket so how were many people voting against him as the 1 blogger wrote, must be a DemocRAT. I will vote for whoever runs against this goof in 2012, even the great Seiser. As the old saying goes, "Be careful what you wish for because you just may get it!" You'll get your "CHANGE" but it won't be for the better and it also may be all you have left after he gets done fleecing your pockets!!!!!!! This to will pass.
Can you whining bitches just accept that Obama won the election by landslide, FAIR & SQUARE? We've put up with the Texas idiot for 8 years. Give the man a chance. We waited 8 years for W to man up, and the whole country has been disappointed. Obama can do no worse.
I am a black female and I have no problem with you calling him out. I just hope you will keep your commenters in check. They always go too far. Obama is a socialist, pure and simple. Unfortunately for many of us, his race was more important than his policies. That and many people were also voting against Bush.
11/05/2008 02:49:00 AM
Well said!
Support him when he is right, oppose him when he is wrong. Treat him fairly and with respect, unlike the way they treated Bush. Pray that he governs with wisdom not usually found in Far Left circles, or neo-con circles for that matter. Seriously, he is going to need to see some support from Conservatives when he does the right thing for the good of the country, esp. in foreign affairs. Pray that he loves being President more then he loves being a "change" agent for the Left Wing.

I normally can't stand you clowns for your power-trips (like pulling me over for passing you, when I was below the speed limit), but I have to say you guys impressed me last night, looked sharp and professional and I appreciated it. I'm also very conscious of the fact that you risk your lives every day to keep me safe and respond quickly to my burglaries. 99% of you are good guys.

Just like how everyone said give J-Fed a chance? Another clear example of how someone is given a job for face value. No experience or knowledge of how to do that job and will slowly realize that he's way in over his head. Anyone notice how Obama was already backing out of some of his promises already at his acceptance speech? "We can't and won't be able to solve all the problems." He looked like a deer caught in the headlights on that stage.

I agree with you 100%.
However, it is not a two way street.
Remember how after the last two elections, many, many, deomcRats threatened to move to other lands.
Too bad they didn't.

That was what you probably said when J-Fed was named as Superintendent.
You know, everyone may hate BUSH but I think he did a great job keeping us safe while he was in office ~ lets see how well Obama does that.
As a former Bush supporter, I can proudly say that I voted for Barak Obama. You can't stop progress, and everyone b*tchen and moaning about all the evil deeds he will commit as President should reserve judgement until after he begins serving. The people have spoken, so grow up and deal with it!
I have never been more ashamed of being an American in my life. Why was he not out there saying the Pledge of Allegiance? Why were the blacks saying to one another we did it? Why when they use race as positive thing and it's socially acceptable. When a white person or persons does it, it's taboo? I'm starting the WHITE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS ASSOC. and I'm sueing the first person that says it's racist. Bush got his bazillion $ relief plan passed and these socialistic scumbags will say that Osama...I mean Obama did some good.It will be a long four years. We are truly in worse shape than ever and a glimpse into the future shows more bleak times ahead. On;y good thing is he is a wimp and that will show up soon enough when the rest of the world tests him.
Obama is in, shut the fuck up and deal with it. He didnt win with only black votes. once again everyone is bitching because things didnt go there way.

Every Country in the World is glad Obama won. We are now able to go other places and people will like us again. Obama we can.

Reporter: "You couldn't do that before?"
"No"
Hoping Fitzgerald will speed up the indictments on Barry, oops I mean Barack.

U R right, daley might make a good president, just give him time...and watch your wallet
"so much for his promise to just use public funds like McCain didd"
Right. You might want to do a little research on that one.
OBAMA will be the President of USA and if you don't like that fact then find another country. I had to deal with W for 8 years, and when HUGO called him stupid I knew W was but resented HUGO for saying it because he was my idiot not his. I can call him a idiot but HUGO could not in my eyes. I am an AMERICAN if i like the President or not. All bumperstickers that say "He's not my President" if they were meant for "W" or "O" is UNAMERICAN. Real Americans blood run Red, White , and Blue. Differences with the President is one thing, being a President hater is just under simply UNAMERICAN.
anonymous said...
Nice sentiments. Like him or not come January 20th he is the only President we will have. When he is right support him. When he is wrong oppose him.
I read this earlier:
On the night of his landslide victory over Hoover, in 1932, in the depths of the Great Depression, Franklin Roosevelt had an intimate conversation with his son James:
“You know, Jimmy,” Franklin said, “all my life I have been afraid of only one thing—fire. Tonight I think I’m afraid of something else.”
“Afraid of what, Pa?”
“I’m just afraid that I may not have the strength to do this job.” He paused reflectively. “After you leave me tonight, Jimmy, I am going to pray. I am going to pray that God will help me, that he will give me the strength and the guidance to do this job and to do it right. I hope that you will pray for me, too, Jimmy.”
Good luck Mr President Elect, if you screw up we all suffer.
11/05/2008 12:33:00 AM
Like the last eight years, he screwed up, we all suffered. We all paid.
I believe national security will continue to be a priority. That much has been made clear to both parties. How about quitting this bullshit party politics like Bush asked everyone to do after 9/11
The other commenters are right that a major factor in Obama getting elected is how much everybody hates Bush. So oh well guys, if Obama is as bad as you think then he'll probably be voted out in 2012.
Also, I mean, it's not as though the last 8 years have been the best for America...9/11, an economic collapse, and 2 drawn out wars which have resulted in dangerously low recruitment levels and a weakened military?
SCC, you are entitled to your opinion, I am living mine. Understand this, he is not my President, I did not vote for him. For the first time in my life, this citizen is disappointed in his country. It of course is not the end of the world. My issue is not the election of the first black man. I vote for the best candidate. My issue is we have elected a Marxist over a man who served his country beyond the call of duty and I believe a grave mistake was made. His friends are Marxists and especially Ayers. This jack ass was a member of a group who killed police officers and Che Obama is an aquaintance? WTF? My U.S. flag is off my house and will not be flown again. It along with the folded American Legion flags presented for my father and uncle were donated to the local VFW today. The post commander tried to talk me out of it. He said a number of people are disappointed and then he sounded like you; but he is our President. YOU may have to serve your commander in chief, I don't. I am a private citizen and live in a country with a government, not a government with a country.
Watched the news today and the aldercreatures were all talking about how Obama can help fund this and fund that, coming up with a wishlist of pork not even 24 hrs after the election was over.
I guess they can't wait for the hotline to be put in from City Hall to the White House.

I want SCC to remember this idiot's post 4 years from now, then repost it with the title "Obama can do no worse" and let it be shown that he did and will do worse....and more harm too. The only thing that this election proved is that waaaaaaaaay too many people are drinking the kool-aid, waaaay too many and not enough people with common sense left in this country anymore. He's not the right guy, not right now....not ever. He's shown his true colors early on even before the ball got rollin on his election campaign. How soon do we forget.....refusal to place hand over heart during pledge of allegiance, blantant refusal of wearing US flag, his pastor..his mentor....association with domestic terrorists and the list goes on and on. Him being only partly black had no effect on why I didnt vote for him. The list of many obvious reasons is why I didnt. Bush needed to go, but not by the likes of Obama..........NOPE!
For the first time in my life, this citizen is disappointed in his country.
11/05/2008 10:04:00 PM
please tell me you are joking. having you been living in a fucking bubble for the past 400 years.
I want to see what Obama offers to Emil Jones. Can you imagine that clown as an ambassador? : )
To all you Bush bashers...I voted for Bush PROUDLY! Gore and Kerry were/are both idiots.
Bush went wrong when he tried to bring the GOP to the left, and he started acting like a big spending Democrat.
Oil price increase. China and India are both booming economies and their people for the first time car afford cars, thus they are buying gas on the world market; this is simple supply and demand, thus a price increase. Have you noticed the gas price go down in the past 6 weeks...when BUSH strong armed Democrats in congress to lift drilling bans here in the US.
Iraq...since 9/11 have we been bombed here? London has, Madrid has. Hummm, show strength and the bad guys stay away.
Judicial appointments...Bush has placed solid legal minds on the bench, who are looking out for YOUR liberties.
Bush crammed the Keyoto accord down the throats of the worlds liberals. China and India, our major economic competition, exempted themselves from this HUGE economic straight jacket...GOD BLESS Bush for saying NO to the intense political pressure to cave on this.
Bush will go down in history was a reasonably successful president.
He inhereted a recession and our country sustained its worst attack since Pearl Harbor, he kept the economy stable for 7 of his 8 years, the DOW reached its all time high 14000 under him.
First Lady Laura Bush brought dignity back to the White House.
Under Bush, Black Americans have attained their greatest political successes
Cheers "W", and enjoy your ranch in retirement.

America has voted. We don't have to like it and we will support every legal means to make sure he's a one-term president like Carter was.

The collapse of America is inevitable. True patriots will not stand for the gutting of the constitution, neutering of the bill of rights and having this secular humanist based cult mentality shoved down our throats.
All you mewling about the annointed messiah's "change". Well, now you have it. Super majority in both house and senate, an actual socialist occupation of the Office of the President, you have no excuse. By summer we should all be living a dream. You have no excuse, no reason to blame it on Bush. You have free reign, so until the utopia is here just shut the fuck up.

Hey, the poor me racism whining is a little old, fuckhead. "The Man" keeping "us" down is now BLACK!! YOU run the country, you have the power, YOU are the racist, and you fucking well oughta shut the fuck up and give me some breaks to make up for your racist policies designed to keep us brothers down. POWER TO THE PEOPLE, FUCK THE SYSTEM, BURN BABY BURN, NO JUSTICE NO PEACE, END RACISM IN MY LIFETIME!!!!
This department is so fucking racist, all you blacks in power take everything and don't help out a poor white man at all. It's bullshit. Maybe we should riot and burn our neighborhoods. We are disenfranchised and no one cares about our concerns.
just 1 thought on who's a socialist. didn't the bush administation spend government $ to bail out and buy up banks in the u.s?
*******************
Yes, and it was a response to the over the top Democrat proposal that would have spent way more. Do you even read or care about the truth? Of course the Bush administration was not fiscally conservative, because Democrats have swayed the center so far left that a fucking Socialist is now a mainstream candidate and got elected president. You, seriously, must be freaking retarded.
So long as he doesn't raise my taxes, or enact more "gun control," - it's only 4 years.

All Divisiveness aside, We can Count on all 130 Posters on this thread to be in attendance @Joe Airharts LOD Funeral Monday right?
I'll be more than happy to publish the details when they become avaialable.
I wonder if half of the comments posted on this blog would exist if obama was white. You guys got to give him a chance.
Hmmm, Obama is white, 50%.

"Anyway, I am going to be exactly as all you fucking democRATs were for the last 8 years. If Barack came over and shit out hundred dollar bills for me, he will still be stupid, wrong, and I won't support anything he does. I will hate his very existence and do anything I can to undermine anything he wants to happen. Exactly how the democRATs have acted.

You go girl!
"just 1 thought on who's a socialist. didn't the bush administation spend government $ to bail out and buy up banks in the u.s?
*******************
Yes, and it was a response to the over the top Democrat proposal that would have spent way more. Do you even read or care about the truth? Of course the Bush administration was not fiscally conservative, because Democrats have swayed the center so far left that a fucking Socialist is now a mainstream candidate and got elected president. You, seriously, must be freaking retarded.

So, your definition of 'conservative' does not include the concept of conservation?

Montgomery Burns.
His birth certificate is a FAKE! It's computer generated certificate from the 60's. I didn't know there was computers able to do this type of programing.
I would go out on a limb and say he's not a natural born citizen.

Typical liberal moron, smug and self-pretentious. Sip your chablis and chuckle at Jon Stewart's wit on the television.
There are degrees of everything. I don't think Bush was anywhere near perfect, but he was better than the more liberal, less conservative alternative.
I would have preferred Ron Paul to McCain, but unfortunately a vote for him was a vote for Osama.

No, haven't figured how on earth you cram all that wisdumb up your poopsie...that gotta hurt.
Everyone deserves a chance regardless of what opinions you may hold beforehand. I guess people are saying that this country would have automatically been placed on the right track had McCain been voted in office.
Nevermind that he was part of the current administration that got us in this mess and that he sided with the current policies of the current administration 90%+ of the time according to his own words.
A previous poster had at least one thing right...that it is not right for the Amreican Taxpayer to bailout these Wall St. bigwigs when they screwed up. Many saw it coming, kept passing the buck, but didn't care as long as they lined their pockets while losing other peoples money. Ask your self this if you haven't already....."If I go to my bank/credit company/etc and ask them to forgive MY debt (all of it) on MY house/car/credit cards/etc will they bail me out? If you think yes, then I emplore you to try it and if the answer is a fat NO then tell us what you think then.
If Obama doesn't work....then vote for someone else, but til then he is your president...like it or not.

This is where your Messianic bullshit gets so ridiculous. Did you see your chosen savior all over news yesterday? He already wants MORE money for MORE bailouts. The idea WAS floated to forgive forty percent of your credit card debt at the expense of the taxpayers, and is being pushed by your heroes the extreme left democratic party.
Yes, McCain was a liberal republican, and that is using the term loosely. Yes, that was the republican parties fault, they have moved left in response to the election of more and more ultra-liberal democrats, ie Pelosi, Reid and others. Obama is only MORE liberal than any of them, he truly fits the definition of a socialist. But the logic that because the republicans have moved to six liberal on a scale of 10, that somehow it is worse than 12 liberal on a scale of ten, it just doesn't make sense.
Maybe if they elect a Nazi or a full-blown communist, or a Muslim fundamentlist such as Bin Laden president, maybe you will quietly sit and say that the people have spoken and he is my president. Well, I won't. I believe in the democratic process, but there is a line I won't cross, socialism is that line. I didn't like Clinton, but he was my president. Obama is not legitimately and never will be. If you recall many of his domestic terrorist associates have denied the legitimacy of the government WITH his support, as have his black separatist companions. See any Rev. Wright material? There are still law suits pending that make a cogent case he isn't even eligible, but that's another story. He does not believe in the constitution, wants to change it to make it easier to redistribute wealth. You elected him, you got your wish, so instead of worrying about who I have to accept as president, go to one of your silly rallies, chant the name of the one, give a few "yes we can's" and honor the birth of a socialist nation. I am just sad that the real people of America, the workers that haven't been tainted by the filth of urban liberalism, will have to suffer the breakdown of the nation along with you. Hopefully you are a big Daley supporter also, and not one of these fools that decry the Machine even as they talk of how they voted for Obama, the single most empowering event for Daley and his cronies to ever occur.
Amen 7:25.
I had a "conservative" coworker tell me after the election that he hopes Obama's first term is a disaster. I asked, you mean for the country too?
He said yes. This guy is a good friend, and I still told him that his thoughts are unpatriotic.
Hoping that an Obama presidency doesn't unduly harm you or the nation is one thing. Hoping that the nation is harmed in an Obama presidency makes you a freakin traitor.
For the real conservatives out there, make your voices heard and find the real conservative leadership in this country. Right now pretty much the only relevant conservatives are those (perhaps few) in the Democratic party.
More than anything, accept that he is the president, and hope and push for him to make good choices that benefit the U.S. That is, pray that the U.S. does well under this guy, no matter how much we may disagree with what we project he will do.

um, no, I will not accept him as my president, and he hasn't been sworn in. we are to expect the worst and pray he doesn't get to do to much damage. I'm pulling out my deferred comp before the year end,(all of us should) I won't give him a chance at my hard earned money. Hopefully for the sake of our country the birth certificate issue catchs up with him before January. Good night and God Bless

um, no,--
I take it from the rest of your statement that you only do not accept him as your president, and even that pending resolution of the issues you believe exist.
If, however, you do not "hope and push for him to make good choices that benefit the U.S. That is, pray that the U.S. does well under this guy, no matter how much we may disagree with what we project he will do", then I believe what you hope for and pray for is tantamount to treason.
You don't accept that he is the president, fine. Hoping and praying for anything that is harmful to this country is FLAT OUT treason.
Understand that the kind of innuendo you raise does not help your cause either. Remember all the posts here about how Obama is a Muslim threat, or how there would be riots, or how he is a closet terrorist?
You didn't get called out on it much on this board or SCS's board, but none of this has been borne out. There are real issues to discuss in this nation, and the scare-mongerining is not helpful.
You wanna talk about the extra 40 billion that the G is "lending" to AIG as of today, and maybe discuss some substantive issues like whether statues of Comrade Bush should be raised in every town square?

Why must you idiots continue this. Your commisar Hussein has already spoken...he has demanded the further bailouts prior to his official ascension. Pretending it is not the democrat agenda pushing these bailouts is, at best, disingenuous, and knowing the character of liberals, more likely a deliberate lie. At least I know that since the Hussein supporters already must lie to defend him, that my feelings of disgust, distrust and dissension are correct.
--Pretending it is not the democrat agenda pushing these bailouts is, at best, disingenuous, and knowing the character of liberals, more likely a deliberate lie.--
Nice. A Republican secretary of Treasury (Paulson), after months of being on record that everything is fine and hunky-dory, comes in on a Thursday or Friday with Bernanke and demands 700 billion by Monday morning, or else. Granted, the only people who opposed it en masse were in the House (all up for reelection weeks later), and largely Republicans who had heard from their constituents. But McCain and Obama both voted for it. Its the Dems fault and their agenda?
If you are too stupid to see what is right in front of your eyes than God Himself can't help you. Paulson is not a Democrat. The Democrats did not call Paulson and Bernanke in. Paulson and Bernanke went in and demanded 700 billion. Counting the Freddie and Fannie nationalization (see today's news that 100 billion ain't enough for Freddie), the bill is over a trillion dollars at the demands of Bush's executive.
Somehow this is a Dem agenda? I'm sure the whole 5 trillion+ increase in national debt is all a vast left-wing conspiracy too?
I'd ask you to turn out the lights before closing up your particular office of the Republican party, but I'm afraid you'll be in a strait jacket and someone else will have to close it up for you.

Right.
I said Bush wasn't correct in pandering to the left as he did, creating some odd conglomerate of big government and conservatism that didn't work. He, and the rest of the neocons were pushed there by the political pressure of the left, particularly the 06 coopting of both houses of the legislature. However, dow was at 14k, unemployment record lows, huge expansion of economy in the six years Bush had until Pelosi/Reid took over. If you can't see the pressure of you liberals moving everything left, YOU are the blind one. And if we agree Bush's bailouts and bloated spending don't work, how can you be so blind as to think Osama's radically liberal/socialism, that is far more for spending and taxing, can be better? Oh, because he is black and he wants "change", throw in some groupthink and a yes we can and I see how you get there.
--However, dow was at 14k, unemployment record lows, huge expansion of economy in the six years Bush had until Pelosi/Reid took over.--
Your hatred of the local dems has blinded you. You will continue feeling the electoral beatings until you come to Jesus.
First of all, economic stats have been entirely revised slowly over the last 30 years. Take a look at a site called something like shadowstats, and they will provide a comparison of today's economic conditions to those reported over the last 70 years.
This stuff is so far above the heads of most Americans that I don't blame you for believing what you believe.
However, more than 80% of Americans have seen real incomes drop in the last 8 years. Inflation statistics were revised in the early part of this decade do exclude home prices, so it missed the runup as inflation on the way up and the drop as deflation on the way down.
Most Americans, including you apparently, do not know what you are being spoon fed by the government under either party. It ain't your father's statistics.
Any "growth" in America was almost entirely fueled by debt. You ever heard of mortgage equity withdrawal (MEW)? 800 billion per year in the boom years, and I guarantee you know dozens of people who were taking cash out in refinances. That money helped grow the economy.
The defaults on that debt incurred under Bush underlie what is happening now.
There are dozens of related topics to discuss, and I don't think SCC wants us going back and forth here forever. But this is far bigger than what you are imagining, and its not as simple as the slogan you memorized as a chant from the Republican party.
There are very few people who have any level of understanding of these issues, but the numbers are increasing every day. I'd encourage you to start reading some of the economic websites (Calculated Risk, globaleconomicanalysis etc.) and learn as much as you can about where we are and where this is going.
If nothing else, you might hear quite a bit about your likelihood of every seeing a dime in your pension or in social security.
