I mean for being a hegemonic super power, we sure were doing a shitty job.
all I am saying is that John McCain put up a good fight, his speech was respectful and I am elated that Obama won, I really feel like he understands the 'everyday' person, the struggles of being middle class and what it feels like to be a minority. I am also glad that African American's came out in droves, I ONLY HOPE that they continue to take active roles in our government in the future. I am middle eastern and I know far too well what Racism feels like, Its humbling and refreshing to see some REAL CHANGE in the white house.
PS.I dont think this election was only about race.
PPS. I hope elizabeth is in a corner crying somewhere
PPPS. Obama for 2012 [S.Palin move the eff on]

GOOD GOD. I cant believe the HORRIBLE things Im reading about Elizabeth in this thread... GET OVER IT. What, she has a different view than you?? Ive got news for aLL of you- there are a LOT of people out there that share the same views as Elizabeth... Does she always handle herself in the right manner? No. But she's on a show called THE VIEW. Where she voices her opinion. She gets PAID to voice her a opinion. And there are a lot of people who agree with her.
It annoys the SHIT out of me that in one line people are talking about being more accepting of other people, and how they are so happy we've over come racial barriers, and excited for all this change.. and then turn around and BASH someone just because they dont agree with her views. I dont see her going out of her way to physically or emotionall hurt someone sho who CARES what she thinks? So she annoys you? so what..!!!???
Why dont we try a little damn acceptance of other people's views? If you dont agree with her, FINE.. but dont wish SADNESS and bad things on her just because she doesnt agree with what you agree with...GOOD GOD... The whole thing pisses me off so bad I cant even friggin finish reading the thread right now.. there's almost as much stuff wishing horrible things on elizabeth hasslebeck as there is excitment over Obama....
