Something in the air..

[480sx]

Something today was very strange. I couldnt quite put my finger on it. Birds were singing an unusually merry tune. Children we not crying. I swear the sun itself felt somehow brighter.

As i went through my day as i normally do, swathes of blue were everywhere. An O simple seemed to be prevalent on an extraordinary amount of cars. Half of everyone i saw had some sort of Obama t-shirt on. Children were on the street corners with signs saying ' Honk For Obama ', and i was hearing a constant report from passing cars. Obama supporters were lined up comming from the train station. Something today was indeed.. Special.

Driving home on from my friends place, 66 east traffic was just simply awful. I went to my normal exit and it was packed, so i figured i would go to a secondary exit. Traffic was exceptionally bad there as well. I just.. Couldnt figure it out. Went down the road thinking about what an amazing yet strange day it had been, it just felt as if the burdens of life had been lifted by some unknown cause. Then i hit traffic, again, where there never is traffic. Cars from many states made up this line. Strange day indeed.

As i got closer, i saw a bright glow in the night sky. It was as if heaven itself had landed in my quite little town and was radiating upwardly as a beacon of hope. Two helicopters flew around this halo. Then it hit me. It could only be one thing. The One himself was gracing my town with his presence.

Traffic was backed up for miles in every direction. As i drove down my street gawking at the automobiles lined in every direction converging on our humble fairgrounds.

I caught a glimpse of movement to my right while i was on my bike, and to my surprise here too were lines of people. Lines of people as far as the eye could see braving the elements, they too hoping to catch a glimpse of 'The One'. To hear his voice and know that it is he who is destined to lead. He whom they will proudly cast their vote for tomorrow. He who will fix their problems. He whos name is synonymous with Hope.

I just had to share my glorious day with you all. I hope that it had in some way touched you, on some level. Maybe you too will one day be blessed as i have, i sincerely hope that you will.

Out of all the absurd things i expected to hear about that post, i never expected i would get called for plagiarism.

I hope you enjoyed my post.

[SmithSR]

He who will fix their problems. He whos name is synonymous with Hope.

So the people for whom the American dream is out of reach went to go see BO talk.

I can understand the pull:

He's selling hopes and dreams.

Problem is, he's a politician.

Im just not even going to share any of my feelings towards you right now. I hope you enjoyed my post.

INTERNET IS SERIOUS BIZNESS!

Chill out.

Props if you did make it up yourself but it looked like something that would be copied and pasted.

[480sx]

Nothing more insulting than to be called out for plagiarism dude..

Jesus Christ? Crap, I didn't know he was on the ballot - I need to go back and re-vote.

Did you just have a religious experience or something?

Children... Funny you mention the kids. The schools did mock polls from 10-12 different grade schools here in town and the rsults were staggering. 95% vs. 5% Obama of course! Good Luck Obama

Problem is, he's a politician.

And McCain is selling:

-The idea that unilateral foreign policy works-The idea that you can spend the same while taxing less-The idea that we can return to a 1950's America via the Supreme Court

These are all fairy tales too. Anyone who buys into them on the right is just as deluded as those on the left who buy into the "I can solve all your problems" message that Obama is projecting (which is, I totally admit, a far over-reach).

All politicians sell Bull, neither side is exempt.

[audtatious]

-The idea that you can spend the same while taxing less

No he's not. He's talking reform and less spending. Where do you think he has been positioning Palin these last months? Under his desk?

[HashiriyaS14]

Where do you think he has been positioning Palin these last months? Under his desk?

Hm....that doesn't sound like a bad idea, actually.

Anyway, every GOP Presidential candidate for the last two decades has promised lower spending and never once delivered. I don't believe he's any different, you probably disagree, such is life.

[Cold_Zero]

There is something in the air, I farted which left a strange cloud.

In Indiana its a class A misdemeanor for wearing political buttons or shirts while voting. So I didnt see much of that stuff. I just saw a few black people with a **** load of white people voting.bud

[OriginalWheelman]

And every Democratic Presidential con-idate has promised giving money back to the middle class. So far the GOP are the only ones to write me a check...

I'm pretty sure I said:

But, you know, nice try.

[Cold_Zero]

I got two of the three stimulus checks under GW Bush and had my taxes cut under his administration.

[HashiriyaS14]

I got two of the three stimulus checks under GW Bush and had my taxes cut under his administration.

All of which was, effectively, paid for out of funds borrowed from China. We're all going to have to give it back sooner or later.

To clarify, I'm not really even attacking Bush specifically here, and certainly not you, rather just the general mindset people have in regards to tax cuts and stimulus checks. People feel like if they've got it in their bank account, they "have the money". Wrong, they've BORROWED the money, we all have.

To think that you're anything less than directly accountable for your share of the national deficit, just as you would be for a mortgage or car loan, is total lunacy.

BOTH sides are equally guilty of this, and I absolutely mean that.

[OriginalWheelman]

I'm merely using this a opportunity to point out how the Dems promise, and Repubs DO.

Lol, nah i just had to laugh when i was driving home and saw all these people coming out of the wood work gridlocking my town to see Obama. Felt like writing a bit of satire what can i say. I was really hoping more people would be disgusted...

The one interesting thing i noted was that all these people gave a damn. This is the first election in a long time where people came out to see their candidate in large numbers. I just thought it was kinda cool, gridlock aside.

[WDRacing]

Nate...

Puff puff give bro

[480sx]

Had to put the green up on the shelf brotha, for now. Why you think im so damn agitated.

[SmithSR]

And McCain is selling:-The idea that unilateral foreign policy works-The idea that you can spend the same while taxing less-The idea that we can return to a 1950's America via the Supreme Court

And BO is selling:

-Unilateral renegotiation of NAFTA.. to which Canada immediately balked... time to back pedal...-Liberal Lingo: How many of YOU make less than $250,000 a year? Let's see those hands. Tax cuts! $200,000.. tax cut! $150k? tax cut! Clearly, if you make $120,000 a year or more, you can afford to pay more taxes. What happened to $250k?-It's patriotic to pay more taxes. Look, a trillion dollars in NEW spending isn't so bad if you are all paying more taxes!-1950's? Nobody can take this country back to the glory days after the second world war when men worked hard and family values meant something. What a shame.

WHOOPS you missed McCain's spending freeze sales pitch.

Issues aren't important to the left anyways. Blacks are by and large voting their man in. How F-ing pathetic.

[hachiroku781]

And many whites arent? To bring race into this was unnecessary. Look many believed that McCain had solidified himself with the Hispanic vote. Turns out to be a different story. People should vote on what they believe is best for them.

[SmithSR]

Oprah and Whoopie and a certain Rev. Wright brought race 'into this' ... don't be fooled.

[hachiroku781]

Oprah and Whoopie and a certain Rev. Wright brought race 'into this' ... don't be fooled.

Woppie i highly doubt has done anything. Rev Wright, maybe a few. But Oprah appeals to masses of woman, color or income do not matter.

[wingFeather]

Something today was very strange.

That is the calm that you get right before the storm which destroys everything...

[480sx]

A tempest..?

Hell, we dont know enough about BO to determine how hes going to run the country. Just sit back and watch, whats done is done. He might be a great president for all you know.

[wingFeather]

He might be a great president for all you know.

We can only hope that he suddenly *defies* his past & becomes fair and balanced.

I would be a happy man & even vote for him next time around.

[HashiriyaS14]

-1950's? Nobody can take this country back to the glory days after the second world war when men worked hard and family values meant something. What a shame.

Last I checked, people still work hard, men AND women.

And family values are different for every family. We aren't as homogeneous a society as we used to be. I know that you probably have a problem with that but likely won't admit it, and thus you'll cloak this under wanting a return to "family values".

America isn't a fixed quantity. It is whomever lives here, and if the makeup of the population changes, then the nation will change.

WHOOPS you missed McCain's spending freeze sales pitch.

Oh I caught it, I just didn't believe it. Every recent GOP candidate has campaigned on lower spending and not one has delivered.

Issues aren't important to the left anyways.

Hang on. Wasn't it YOUR campaign manager who said this:

http://voices.washingtonpost.c....html

Blacks are by and large voting their man in.

The African-American turnout wasn't really any higher than it has been in previous years. Anyone who tries to argue that Barack Obama won largely because of how he did with the black vote obviously hasn't spent any time looking at the statistics.

[Jesda]

The African-American turnout wasn't really any higher than it has been in previous years. Anyone who tries to argue that Barack Obama won largely because of how he did with the black vote obviously hasn't spent any time looking at the statistics.

"An overwhelming majority of African-Americans — 96 percent of black women and 95 percent of black men — supported Obama, according to Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International exit polls."

The largest percentage, ever, of black voters went Democratic. Combine that with large turnout.

http://www.miamiherald.com/new....html

It doesnt matter anyway. Obama couldnt have won without white and hispanic voters. But yeah, voting based on race, whether for or against, is retarded.

But like the retards in [name your own hick town] who thought Obama was an islamic terrorlst, urban black voters are just as shallow and ignorant.
