Just to be clear, despite my name on top of the post, NONE of thoseb,121quotes in O-dub's post were from me. I don't even know if I posted in thisb,121thread BITD. I'm just amazed and honestly so proud to be an Americanb,121tonight, we've come a very long way, and there's still a ways to go -b,121but tonight is about celebrating an amazing moment in American history.
I actually came out pretty well, if overly cautious. I was hoping for Obama for VP in 2008 or President in 2012. About as good as could have been expected at that time, realistically.

I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth the other night before bed. I came back into the bedroom where my girlfriend was reading the current Time magazine with Obama on the cover, only she was reading it in a way that it was hiding her face from the door when I walked in. Kind of a bugout to walk into a bedroom and find Obama smiling at you from the spot your lady was laying a minute ago. It was kind of comforting though, like he and I were just going to chat or something. I sleep in a california king, so there would have been plenty of room for the two of us with no uncomfortable assidents. Then she dropped the magazine when she heard me chuckle, and the dream ended.
i'm not reading the previous entries to this thread, but i can say that as early as a year ago, there is no way i could realistically see the result being what it was today/yesterday. and i have never before been more PROUD to be WRONG! this is so great for the psyche of humans of every condition. point blank.

I knew during his famous speech four years ago he'd become president.

font class="post"1b,121b,121On CBS Sunday Morning, there was a very un-funny "humorist" named Mo Rocca who spent 5 minutes riffing on what a goofy name Obama is. It was some really rascist shit and seemed politically charged. And the guy casting the first stone calls himself Mo Rocca. b, 21b, 21h,121font class="post"1b,121b,121lol so perfect that this thread ends with a dude who repeats a joke without realizing hes delivering the punchline

I don't know why my insightful and spot on posts were scrubbed from this thread. :grin
I just wish I started this thread with something more eloquent than
