It will be interesting to watch the faces of those who elected Barack Obama - they will rapidly change from their wide-eyed wonder - to confusion, then to apprehension, then to disbelief, and finally to horror as they discover their new leader is as hollow as the promises he has made.

Joe Biden is right - Barack Obama will be tested, and the entire Democrat-controlled Congress will be tested - and they will not have the luxury of blaming anyone else for their own failures.

And fail, the Democrats will.

And fail, Barack Obama will.

And then comes the judgement of the American people.

And it will be severe.

No more whining, Democrats - now you get to be the punching bag - and deservedly so.

And this includes YOU, Liberal Media.

YOU are the ones that have betrayed America with this Trojan Horse Socialist imposter, Obama.

One_American, that post is not very American of you.

Americans, be optimistic!Why are you judging the new president elect Barack Obama this early? Who knows, Barack Obama might be the best president ever in the history of America.Just shut up and instead help pray that America will be back as what it is before.Is crab mentality here in United States?

One_American.....gloom and doom just like your pitiful Republican party. Ever thought maybe that's why you'll lost. People are tired of your "scare" tactics. Definitely a SORE LOOSER!!!!!!

I took down my American Flag down for the first time in 10 years. I am no longer proud to be an American. We are so screwed.

One_america and frankly my dear, I will pray for both of you that God remove your filthy racist views and clean you so you can think clearly and wish this nation well under President Barack Obama

I am no longer proud to be an American.
==================
Then leave. No one is making you stay.

What does racism have to do with it?Typical....

I want to thank the 61% of the voters for Obama who happened to be white. You have demonstrated that one's character and not the color of one's skin was the most important factor in your decision..God bless you and I know that President will do his endeavor best to Represent this country and make us proud. Let us pray for the Racist Americans(black and White) that God would clean them of their filthy views. We have to work together to make this nation great again.

One_American, you're right. Obama and the Democrats will be tested. They know this. They said as much themselves last night. If they do fall -- and you, of all people, better pray they don't -- it had better not be because your party treated them with the same kind of sore loser tactics with which you greeted Bill Clinton 16 years ago.

Realist is right as well. America is scared of the GOP scare tactics. You tried to scare us by branding those who disagreed with you as not patriotic. That didn't work. Now, you're trying to brand those who disagree with you as socialists. Notice that didn't work on Tuesday, either. Maybe, you'll take the hint, this time: We're not scared, and you're not going to make us scared.

OK, we're all in this mess together. Blaming whoever started it is not nearly as important as us all finding a solution for getting ourselves out of it. It's time for us to all work together as Americans. As one great American -- and a Republican (looking right at you, One_American,), President Lincoln put it: "United we stand, divided, we fall."

Stupid Comments from the Right ....No I plan on staying here and giving all of you libs hell every day possible in here. Getting to say I told you so will be one of my greatest joys.

One American, as expected, has no idea what it means to be an American.

If you hadn't noticed. Our country is already screwed. There's not a single economic metric that is positive after 8 years of Republican "leadership". And it will get worse before it gets better. It's not Obama's administration that caused it. It's already started.

Of course, people like you and Limpbaugh will blame Obama when things aren't better in a month.

Hate to inform you, it's going to take years to undo the mess that took years to create.

Some of us are ready to try and turn things around. We will make sacrifices so that our nation can move forward.

Apparently others are ready to sit on their ass and do nothing but pray for failure. How very "American" of you.

Correction: that should have read "America is tired of the GOP scare tactics..." My mistake for not catching that earlier.

Getting to say I told you so will be one of my greatest joys.
====================
Man, you lead a sad and pathetic life.

When you look at Obama's supporters you see blacks, whites, asians, hispanics, native americans etc..his crowd looks like America..when you look at the McCain/Palin crowd you see exclusively white people all looking sad and shouting out hateful words..(skinheads/kkk in formal dress)At their so called convention they made fun of all community organizers, they booed when McCain mentioned Obama's name at his concession speech..The Obama crowd applauded when Obama mention McCain's name at his acceptance speech..can you see a difference here..some of these people are here on this blog..we need to pray for these people..they need some serious help. God bless president elect Barack Obama and God bless America!

Bitter Loser after listening to you guys rant and rave for a couple of years you might as well get ready to get some back in the next couple years. By the way for the past two years Pelosi ,Franks and Dodd have been in charge of Congress, the banking and finanical situation and never once chirped up to say that anything was wrong. The demo congress has a lower approval rating than GW.

Getting to say I told you so will be one of my greatest joys.
====================
Man, you lead a sad and pathetic life.....But here you sit reading this....so how pathetic are you?

I plan on supporting Obama the same way democrats supported Bush the last 8 years.

Just under half the voting public did not vote for Obama. If you think that the rest of the public is just going to turn into an Obamabot and sing his praises for the next four years you are delusional.

God Bless the USA!

If I were Obama, I would listen to the likes of Roubini, Ron Paul, Peter Schiff, and Jim Rogers. They predicted the collapse. Some people that didn't include Buffet, Paulson, Greenspan and Bernanke.

Markets respond to election results for the second day in a row. The response is a sharp drop, nearly ten percent in two days.

Economic Challenges:
He will have choices to make, if he thinks the US Treasury will be able to help, he will fall short. If he looks in to using capitalist initiatives then we have a shot.

First: he has to recapitalized the middle class: how? The automobile industry is the crown jewel of our durable goods industry. If he requires them to give the consumer a car that gets 250 miles to a gallon with a 20 gallon tank. Than consumers will buy cars and people will be put back to work. This paradigm will make the unit cost of gas at the pump irrelevant.

Second: Fuel -- If he looks into retrofitting our coal power plants with a bio-reactor, that uses blue/green algae for CO2 mitigation. He will get a triple threat; 1) a domestic supply of alternative fuel; 2)have an answer to global warming; 3) the most important peaceful foreign initiative since sliced bread.
How will this be funded: Its time for big business to sacrifice just like we are. The oil companies are setting on 600 billion dollars, they say they want to be energy companies - not just oil companies and with silicon valley (Google’s greener grid initiatives). Have the oil companies invest or put a wind fall profits tax.

Thanks
Rick
