THE ELECTION NIGHT THREAD!!!

[TravelingGal]

I have to say, it is going to be MUCH easier and nice to hear him give the state of the unions ever year. I stopped watching because I couldn''t handle his public speaking. And I daresay I''d probably not be into his private speaking either!

 

[misspinky]

Yay for new facebook friends! You guys are good--finding me so fast!

Oh Good Grief, I couldn''t stand listening to Bush.

 

[Irishgrrrl]

OK, everyone . . . I''m going to listen to the rest of PRESIDENT OBAMA''S speech, and then I''m off to bed.

Thank you all for a wonderful evening, thank you for being such good people and, most of all, thank you for making me THINK about this election! ((((HUGS))))

 

[bobbin]

his speech was great. Very idealistic and hopeful.

 

[E B]

I''m also off to bed! You all rock as election buddies! Thanks again for sharing this historical event with me.

I don''t know anyone who could actually stand listening to that at ALL. I don''t know anyone who listens to anything he says to be quite honest. My mom gets nauseous when he comes on TV and she either changes the channel or puts it on mute.


Michelle''s dress kind of sucks, but I

her earrings!!!!! WANT!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TravelingGal]

OK, you guys are right, the future first lady''s dress is AWFUL!!!

Nice speech though!

Her earrings are nice for you and me, but for the first lady? Hm...am I stodgy? If so, I can admit, I can!

 

[princesss]

Oh my goodness, you guys.

No more hiding my passport and refusing to say I''m American and being afraid. We''ve gotten credibility back, and I don''t have to be scared.

Oh my God. This just got real.

Haha, I was thinking that after 8 years I had forgotten what a president''s speech is supposed to sound like.

This is the first time I''ve been actively following the United States politics. FI has taught me a lot about how the voting system works, and it''s really interesting. I admire the people''s enthusiasm. If people want to see apathy towards politics, they should see Japanese politics...

 

[misspinky]

Awwwww Biden''s mamma is too cute!

 

[TravelingGal]

Michelle Obama looks like a black widow spider.

 

[Haven]

I am not going to be able to sleep tonight.
I have to wake up in five and a half hours, anyway.

Great night! It was so good sharing it with you!

I wish people could find me on facebook!

A PS group is a great idea.

 

[TravelingGal]

TGuy just asked me if they are going to paint the white house black. What a dork.

 

[iheartscience]

Okay, Biden''s mom is so cute it''s KILLING ME. Not to mention the rest of their families!

I second that motion. It would be the easiest way for us to get together outside of PS without violating the forum rules.
Yeah it wasn''t too tough to find you. Not too many Misty''s from Missouri with elephants.

I''m sure she''s got some diamond and pearl studs around her jewelry box somewhere.

 

[misspinky]

It was a truly historic night. Congrats to all--so glad I got to share it will all of you.

I hate to tell ya, but we weren''t particularly liked before Bush got into office. You might want to keep that Canadian patch handy.

I think talking about it violates the rules here, but I am too lazy to look it up.

If not, let''s band together and recommend some ACA''s.

 

[ChargerGrrl]

Did y''all get Obama''s email?

Here it is:

Subject: How this Happened

I''m about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.

We just made history.

And I don''t want you to forget how we did it.

You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it''s time for change.

I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign.

We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I''ll be in touch soon about what comes next.

But I want to be very clear about one thing...

All of this happened because of you.

Thank you,

Barack

The first things DH and I noticed when the Obama family went on stage was Michelle''s dress. It''s awful!
