The media are giddy. I'm watching the Today show and they act like it's Christmas. I guess they're proud of all the hard work they did for the Obama campaign. I wonder why he didn't just thank them outright.

Not just NBC etc. but Jeffery turned on FoxNews last night before we went to bed, against my wishes. Britt Hume was almost giddy, Charles Krauthamer (sp?) spoke of Barak being a self made man!
What? He had his college tuition paid by who knows, his political career started and paid by who knows!! Everybody seems to be drinking the kool-aid.

Well, the liberals can no longer say that Fox news is biased against the Left...

On CNN some of commentators were "crying" or too emotional to go on.
On ABC, one reporter reporting from Morehouse Univ. was so overcome with emotion I was waiting for a hanky wave as he gave a mini sermon.
Be prepared for Oprah today....she's going to be unleashed as she put it.

I watched the results and thought are we electing a new President or is this a rock concert?

Are kidding?!! They CAN'T. He's an "African-American" Democrat.
They entire media of our country will be hurting big time, because they will have nothing to complain about. All the "evil" people have been gotten rid of.

At my paper, there was talk of some people going outside into the parking lot and screaming in celebration.
On the paper's property.

I firmly believe that it will never ever happen. Just look at what so many has covered up and hidden from the American public.

This is the biggest farse in the history of this country.
The media knows IT and IT alone elected this man.
I will no longer look at Fox. I was totally flabergasted by their response. They were the last bastion of hope for free speech. But they know that Obama is coming after talk radio and anyone who exercises free speech so they covered their butts last night.

I remember how giddy we were about Bush in 2000. Then we became defensive. By 2004 I had pee-ed out the kool-aid and didn't vote for him. Some of the most well-intended presidents turn out to be the worst ones. Bush was that, and who knows what Obama will turn out to be. He'll get his chance to be a good one or a bad one. I'm sure, for some, the judgment of history is already made.

Tim, Bush bashing is so out. You have to come up with new material.
Flashback: If you remember in 2004 Bush had record turnout in his re-election regardless of where your Kool-aid went.
Obama is a walking media cover up.

Your butt is still safe because of GWB.
He has had more to deal with than any president in history since LIncoln.
History will revere him in 50 years......
He did what he could ....although he did have some wimps as senators and congressmen.
The Republican party failed....not W.
