    Load up on guns and ammo, we are going to need it. With the left in charge bans are coming our way! If they cannot ban all private gun ownership look for taxes on guns and ammo to sky rocket.
    American lost last night.

    Black Man Given Nation's Worst Job

    November 5, 2008 |
    WASHINGTON—African-American man Barack Obama, 47, was given the least-desirable job in the entire country Tuesday when he was elected president of the United States of America. In his new high-stress, low-reward position, Obama will be charged with such tasks as completely overhauling the nation's broken-down economy, repairing the crumbling infrastructure, and generally having to please more than 300 million Americans and cater to their every whim on a daily basis. As part of his duties, the black man will have to spend four to eight years cleaning up the messes other people left behind. The job comes with such intense scrutiny and so certain a guarantee of failure that only one other person even bothered applying for it. Said scholar and activist Mark L. Denton, "It just goes to show you that, in this country, a black man still can't catch a break."


    PS, from the Onion, just in case someone didn't get the joke.

    A little gitty there huh? Hey you voted for the guy so enjoy it. He might piss you off before it's all said and done. He has flipped on so many topics who knows what's coming.

    Good stuff:

    Text of Republican John McCain's concession speech Tuesday in Phoenix, as transcribed by CQ Transcriptions:

    MCCAIN: Thank you. Thank you, my friends. Thank you for coming here on this beautiful Arizona evening.
    Full Election Coverage: Top News Stories | See Latest Results
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    My friends, we have — we have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly.
    A little while ago, I had the honor of calling Senator Barack Obama to congratulate him.
    (BOOING)
    Please.
    To congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love.
    In a contest as long and difficult as this campaign has been, his success alone commands my respect for his ability and perseverance. But that he managed to do so by inspiring the hopes of so many millions of Americans who had once wrongly believed that they had little at stake or little influence in the election of an American president is something I deeply admire and commend him for achieving.
    This is an historic election, and I recognize the special significance it has for African-Americans and for the special pride that must be theirs tonight.
    I've always believed that America offers opportunities to all who have the industry and will to seize it. Senator Obama believes that, too.
    But we both recognize that, though we have come a long way from the old injustices that once stained our nation's reputation and denied some Americans the full blessings of American citizenship, the memory of them still had the power to wound.
    A century ago, President Theodore Roosevelt's invitation of Booker T. Washington to dine at the White House was taken as an outrage in many quarters.
    America today is a world away from the cruel and frightful bigotry of that time. There is no better evidence of this than the election of an African-American to the presidency of the United States.
    Let there be no reason now ... Let there be no reason now for any American to fail to cherish their citizenship in this, the greatest nation on Earth.
    Senator Obama has achieved a great thing for himself and for his country. I applaud him for it, and offer him my sincere sympathy that his beloved grandmother did not live to see this day. Though our faith assures us she is at rest in the presence of her creator and so very proud of the good man she helped raise.
    Senator Obama and I have had and argued our differences, and he has prevailed. No doubt many of those differences remain.
    These are difficult times for our country. And I pledge to him tonight to do all in my power to help him lead us through the many challenges we face.
    I urge all Americans ... I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating him, but offering our next president our good will and earnest effort to find ways to come together to find the necessary compromises to bridge our differences and help restore our prosperity, defend our security in a dangerous world, and leave our children and grandchildren a stronger, better country than we inherited.
    Whatever our differences, we are fellow Americans. And please believe me when I say no association has ever meant more to me than that.
    It is natural. It's natural, tonight, to feel some disappointment. But tomorrow, we must move beyond it and work together to get our country moving again.
    We fought — we fought as hard as we could. And though we feel short, the failure is mine, not yours.
    AUDIENCE: No!
    MCCAIN: I am so...
    AUDIENCE: (CHANTING)
    MCCAIN: I am so deeply grateful to all of you for the great honor of your support and for all you have done for me. I wish the outcome had been different, my friends.
    AUDIENCE MEMBER: We do, too (OFF-MIKE)
    MCCAIN: The road was a difficult one from the outset, but your support and friendship never wavered. I cannot adequately express how deeply indebted I am to you.
    I'm especially grateful to my wife, Cindy, my children, my dear mother ... my dear mother and all my family, and to the many old and dear friends who have stood by my side through the many ups and downs of this long campaign.
    I have always been a fortunate man, and never more so for the love and encouragement you have given me.
    You know, campaigns are often harder on a candidate's family than on the candidate, and that's been true in this campaign.
    All I can offer in compensation is my love and gratitude and the promise of more peaceful years ahead.
    I am also — I am also, of course, very thankful to Governor Sarah Palin, one of the best campaigners I've ever seen ... one of the best campaigners I have ever seen, and an impressive new voice in our party for reform and the principles that have always been our greatest strength ... her husband Todd and their five beautiful children ... for their tireless dedication to our cause, and the courage and grace they showed in the rough and tumble of a presidential campaign.
    We can all look forward with great interest to her future service to Alaska, the Republican Party and our country.
    To all my campaign comrades, from Rick Davis and Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter, to every last volunteer who fought so hard and valiantly, month after month, in what at times seemed to be the most challenged campaign in modern times, thank you so much. A lost election will never mean more to me than the privilege of your faith and friendship.
    I don't know — I don't know what more we could have done to try to win this election. I'll leave that to others to determine. Every candidate makes mistakes, and I'm sure I made my share of them. But I won't spend a moment of the future regretting what might have been.
    This campaign was and will remain the great honor of my life, and my heart is filled with nothing but gratitude for the experience and to the American people for giving me a fair hearing before deciding that Senator Obama and my old friend Senator Joe Biden should have the honor of leading us for the next four years.
    (BOOING)
    Please. Please.
    I would not — I would not be an American worthy of the name should I regret a fate that has allowed me the extraordinary privilege of serving this country for a half a century.
    Today, I was a candidate for the highest office in the country I love so much. And tonight, I remain her servant. That is blessing enough for anyone, and I thank the people of Arizona for it.
    AUDIENCE: USA. USA. USA. USA.
    MCCAIN: Tonight — tonight, more than any night, I hold in my heart nothing but love for this country and for all its citizens, whether they supported me or Senator Obama — whether they supported me or Senator Obama.
    I wish Godspeed to the man who was my former opponent and will be my president. And I call on all Americans, as I have often in this campaign, to not despair of our present difficulties, but to believe, always, in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here.
    Americans never quit. We never surrender.
    We never hide from history. We make history.
    Thank you, and God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you all very much.

    Guess you didn't bother to read the Supreme Court ruling on Heller vs. D.C. They know they can't get the guns, so what will happen is they will be allowed to sue gun manufacturers for people killing people and taxing ammo out of this world.

    Don't be surprised if your chosen one has an appointment to make to the Supreme Court before he is done. Wow, wonder how that will work out for everybody?

    You assume that I voted for him. Don't know about you but I saw 5 candiates for president on my ballot.

    The next supreme justices to retire are likely to be the more liberal ones. Obama's choices will likely be similar, so the over all make up of the court will be the same, conservatives will still have the majority.

    Bahh Bahh. The sheeple have pushed America to the brink. Things can change. Fear not my friends. As long as you stand for what you believe you will be fine. We are America. Don't forget God Placed Obama as the Leader of America. If you are like me you prayed and prayed for a McCain victory. God listened to our prayers. He just said no. When all is said and done we will either correct our wrong doings or the game is over anyway. I don't know God's plan for this country but by looking on the TV and travelling to some of the sinfull places well sinfull places sums up about all of America cannot be pleasing to him. Our revival must start at home. Then on to our Churches, Our communites, our states and so on. We have used our schools as Parents for our children. We have used the TV as Parents for our Children. Our children know life as taught by our schools. But just remember. We cannot blame others for our dispairs. We can only blame ourselves. I for one am guilty as charged of letting things I don't agree with pass just not to hurt anyones feelings. Folks change does not start from the top but at the bottom. Right in our own homes. Just my 2 cents.
