Thoroughly Disgusted

There are worse things than being a sore loser. Being a sore winner for one.

I am also proud to be an American. Proud that the American people can see beyond the "same old THING" to something better than devisivness, arrogance, and a C grader. Proud that America has choosen to see beyond the color of a mans skin. Proud that we have a thoughtful and intelligent President Elect who might just be able to bring us together.

Hey, what is Mylot if not a place to get things off your chest?

America has chosen socialism. Hopefully, Obama won't be able to do much in 4 years. I doubt he'll get 2 terms. Not once people wake up.

I understand that you are upset but listening to Obama's speech, it seems he wants to try to govern for all Americans, even Republicans. So it seems he wants to try and reach out. Whether of course he actually does so when he takes office, only time will tell, a first indication being perhaps how many Republicans he might appoint to his Cabinet. So I would say to you that there is much work to be done, that this country needs to pull together to get out of this mess, that people - even those like yourself who opposed him - should give him a chance to see what he does and then we can judge as time goes on. One important point is that it seems increasingly clear that the Dems will fall a bit short of 60 votes in the senate and hence won't be able to invoke cloture without bipartisan support from some Republican senators. This is to the good as it will ensure that the Democrats won't be able to trample over the minority party and that therefore Republican voices, even if they are in a minority, will be heard and compromised with in the Senate.

You're entitled to your opinion, and I'd be the last to call you a sore loser. I'd be as disgusted with our country had they chosen divisiveness, anger and continued aggression and arrogance over inclusion, thoughtful intelligence and the inspiration to work toward the American dream of a land where anyone can succeed, even if you're not born to wealth and privilege.

I am also very disgusted. To me, Obama's talk about change has no substance. Besides that, change is not always good. People need to remember that. It amazes me that this nation elected a man who has went to a racist church for 20 years and has a wife who has made racist comments. God help us all!

we should ALL be proud. not only did we make history with the first african american president, but we turned out to vote in record numbers! i wonder did we beat American Idol at least?? hopefully! i think Obama will be a good president and i think he will do good things for the country. am proud that we are willing to take the chance on Change. be it good or bad, only time will tell of course.

i am in canada and have heard this more than once, that the US have put so much on Obama that they will only be disappointed unless he lives up to all their expectations which is pretty likely impossible. i also worry about the delecate balance of canada and the us that is in place now. hopefully he wont change too much.

I am sorry that you are disappointed. I'm sure that many are. I am and have been on the fence with this election. Both candidates had there remarkable as well as questionable qualities. Now that is done and over, I think it is time to let it go and work together for the good of our country.

You are entitled to you'r opinion. I personally think that he will be an excellent president and I think he will do alot of good things for this country and those of us who are struggling to barely get by.

I'm very pleased with the out come. As long as Obama does what he has said he was going to do then America will be a better place for all. At least he was talking about helping the fellow Americans instead of destroying them! I hope what he said was the truth and not a lie.

Sorry for your feeling, the whole world is feeling opposite, you still have steriotype which you will overcome as time goes by, but for now it is that change you do not want, superioty complex is nothing when people decide and decide convingly, you could have convinced all those were thinking like you and probably you would have been proud now of the election choice. But one thing is that few people were thinking like you when they went to cast their votes, you better comes to terms that change is just but starting.
