Aw! Cute kid!
Definately… I love this pic!
AWESOME LOL!!! I TOTALLY LOL’D!
spelling fail
what? ?(
Ditto on the Awwwww.
“Awwwwwwwww” seconded.
Motion to “Awwwwwwww” carried.
Agreed, not even Obama can compete with a cute kid.
Dun dun dunnn…
Rofl
Cute kid though.
that kid should be prez!!
MUST……PINCH…..CHUBBY…..LITTLE…..CHEEKS
Poor kid will grow up in a Socialist Country
…you are the reason republicans lost.
Shhhh, don’t let them in on the secret yet. Keep them in the dark about why America has taken so well to President Obama and the COP campaign left such a bad taste in their mouths. Then they’ll be doomed to repeat their Epic Fail in 2012 – they might even nominate Palin!
hehe good point.
that is if we aren’t all dead in 2012…
Oh yeah, that’s the Mayan calendar’s apocalypse, thanks for reminding me! LOL
Yeah, if Palin gets elected, the world WILL end in 2012.
The kid is going to grow up in England?
Look… I don;t expect you to support Obama just because he won. I realize he still has to prove himself to you, and he may never do that, and that’s OKAY. The worst thing any citizen can do for this country is blindly follow a leadership they never supported. But you are still expected to do that from a place of RESPECT, and this comment was way off base.
Be a gracious loser. You’re making us look bad.
Exactly. He may not be the president you wanted, but he is the president.
Frankly, I thought both candidates were pretty solid–the one thing that scared me off McCain was the fact that he thought Sarah Palin was a good choice of running mate.
Thats the exact same reason that McCain had no chance to sway me. He had some good plans and good ideas. But as soon as he picked Palin, he lost my confidence.
Exactly; given his age, it is more than likely that a hypothetical President McCain might not survive his term, which would have given us a Presiden Palin. Isn’t that a frightening thought?
McCain needed Palin to pick up the right wing Christian vote, and the
disgruntled Hilary vote. The misjudgment was in thinking that the two
blocs would ever support the same candidate
So the reason you (and I’m sure millions like you) chose Obama over McCain is because of his VP choice? Wow, I’m glad that I voted for McCain based on his stance on issues. BTW, Biden is laughable compared to Palin.
…you live in Alaska right?
Commenting WIN!
I’m sure these people looked at the presidential policies first, but if you can’t decide based on the big issues (which is understandable if you’re a moderate) you have to look at the smaller issues. Biden has years of experience in the senate and he’s a great politician. To claim Palin > Biden you’re going to need some serious proof
I think what they’re referring to is the fact that her stance on issues was nothing like his… because she didn’t have any. I supported McCain on the issues too, but the fact remains she just a poor choice. She had less experience than Obama. I was really uncomfortable with that fact that she would have been running our nation had (Heaven forbid) something happened to McCain. The fact that he chose someone so out there WAS an issue.
I agree. She was clearly radically conservative and that’s great for radically conservative people but for moderates and liberals that’s a concern.
A little while prior to the election, I read an editorial saying that Sarah Palin was a poor choice for McCain’s VP candidate from a strategic point of view. I’m paraphrasing here, but the gist of it was that, sure, there are some right-wing evangelical voters out there, but they wouldn’t have voted for Barack Obama in a million years anyway, thereby making Sarah Palin the VP pick rather pointless.
Personally, I think that if McCain, or his campaign advisors, or whoever came up with Sarah Palin, felt that they absolutely had to have a woman candidate to capture the Hillary supporters (and I don’t think it’s quite that simple, but anyway), could have gone with someone more well-known. Liddy Dole and Christine Whitman come to mind right off the top of my head, but I’m sure there are others who also would have done a good job and/or been popular with swing voters.
Too true. It would have made a great deal of difference; I may have leaned heavily toward McCain and if a Dem like me would sway so, it would’ve been powerful. I suspect the many times since September that McCain looked so p-o’d all the time was him being annoyed by his own choice of VP – and not feeling free to back away from that choice.
He needed someone who was alot younger better looking that he was. To hide the fact he was an old fart. But people saw through it.
I think Bush did more towards the Obama presidency than any effort anyone ever made, ever.
If they were looking for a woman Condi Rice is at least qualified
Had he chosen Rice, I may have actually voted for him.
I think a lot would have given him kudos for Condi.
Yeah, one thing many members of political minorities don’t get is that
in a democracy, you rarely win if you’re not part of a majority.
Only by heavy chicanery at the polls or by misrepresenting what you
really stand for.
“Biden is laughable compared to Palin.”
Obama isn’t 72 years old with a history of cancer. His VP choice is less crucial than McCain’s.
ROFL!!!!!!
Based on their respective platforms, I was wavering.
And how, exactly, is Biden laughable compared to a woman who:
- Fails to realize that Alaska makes more money from tourists who go to see its natural beauty than the state could ever make from drilling for oil.
- Deliberately attempts to skew the predator-prey balance by killing off bears and wolves, ignoring the fact that this same practice in the southern US resulted in a massive overpopulation of deer beyond the capability of human hunters to control.
- Thinks a single story which has no supporting evidence of any kind is more reasonable than a theory which has been proven and refined over the past 150 years based on an abundance of empirical evidence.
- Approved a bridge between two small towns (the larger had 7,000 residents; the smaller, 50) when there was no need for such a bridge (there was a ferry service in operation between the two towns). In fact, she insisted during her 2006 gubernatorial campaign that she would “not allow the spinmeisters to turn this project [...] into something that’s so negative.”
- Changed her mind about the very same bridge proposal a year later; however, she still set aside $25 million for the construction of a bridge to the 50-resident town.
…and she thought Africa was a country.
That was thrown out long ago, as the sourcing was questionable. Better to go with the protection against witchcraft. That one is equally stupid, and on video tape.
Sexist!
(my history on this site should speak to my sarcasm, last time I’m going to explain that)
And even better: let’s see, what was that phrase all the right wing talk show hosts kept using for the last eight years. Let’s see, it went something like… Oh I remember: “We Won the Election, and Elections Have Consequences!!!” (I always imagined the phrase as being all capitalized!
)
*sits down with big bowl of popcorn*
Tell us the part about the Mandate!
*chomps*
Correction: he is the president-ELECT. Don’t be surprised if someone tries to keep that as far as he goes.
GOP Princess did you just drink the kool-aid too? Obama has repeatedly stated his ideals on redistribution of wealth, (take from the haves & give to the have nots). He will have Harry Reed and Nancy Pelosi and a Democratic Congress there to push through anti-gun, anti-capitalist, pro-liberal, more government and higher tax agendas that Bill Clinton only dreamed of doing. He will probably get to appoint 2 very liberal Supreme Court Justices who will be seated for 20+ years. The country will definitely will be much more socialist leaning by 2012. Who knows what will happen to the military defense structure of the country and our standing in the world. He has no economic policy of his own and a scary foreign policy.
Sure he’ll be the President, but I’m not going to fawn over him, bow down to him, or rejoice. I’m all for change, however I don’t think that Barack Obama is the one to bring about the kind of change this country needs. That’s the way I see it right now and I do hope I’m not right and I hope he is a good President.
If I am to wind up wrong, only the the next 4 years will tell. We will have to wait and see.
[meanwhile I'll be on Pogo playing games and be apolitical again]
Um… your standing in the world will actually go UP???
Frankly, after Bush ( and re-electing him – geez people!) US’s standing with the rest of us has only one way to go – up – with Obama.
After seeing the IBankers lavish their -actually, your’s when one think of it – bailout money on paying off huge severance packages for their CXOs, yes, blanket capitalism in USA seems to be a great idea ( if you want to complete end US’s significance in world politics).
The point I was trying to make was the fact that you DO have a right to disagree with everything Obama does, but you don;t have to be an accusatory dick about it. I disagree with the man, but that doesn’t make him a socialist. Your comment was out of line because you accused him of being something he’s not. The idea of redistribution of wealth can be PART of a socialist agenda, but it does not a socialist agenda make. It sounds to me like you’re just repeating the talking points the extremists of our ranks have thrown at you. This is why I accused you of making us look bad.
I could totally kiss your toes, Majesty! All hail the Reasonable People!!
I nominate GOP Princess for the Logic League. All in favor say Aye! (this is Jane, btw, too lazy to change Charlie’s name, and if I do we all know he won’t change it back)
Sure, I mean Aye.
I think she’s earned a spot among the Logic League, for sure! Hey, where was my nom-nom-nomination? :<
I wish I was in the logic league so I could vote for her *giggles*
Someday, lover, I am sure you will. *pets*
According to the lack of Logic League protocol, GOP Princess is in! (We don’t require a quorum on GOP nominations, as so few of them incorporate actual logic.) All Hail our newest member!
I just want to hug you. Wait, GOP Princess? Are you… Piper Palin???
Dun dun dunnn…………….
I offer the above as proof of GOP Princess’s non-Palin status. No person with that last name could have authored these words.
Tom Trifik, do you recall the Eisenhower years? Under him the top tax rate was 90 percent or taxable income. The theory was that folks who make millions a year can easily live without some of it, while those who run the elevators and serve the coffee and mop your floors cant afford as big a percentage.
The fairness in a progressive tax rate is that those who pay more are getting more from the country.
I doubt anyone accused Ike of being a socialist.
If you are saying Bill Clinton was a socialist, you didnt read enough newspapers during his presidency and listened to too much tork radio. Clinton achieved many classic Republican goals, such as a balanced budget, that the GOP has been unable -and probably unwilling- do for years.
Your man Bush is the biggest spendthrift we’ve had in a long while. He did cut taxes, but someone down the line will have to pay for the enrichment of his buddies in these wars.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment, your Princessitude. I’m pleased to see that most of the comments since the polls closed have been from good losers and good winners, with a minimum of whiny soreheads on any side of the spectrum. Hopefully, posts like yours will encourage everyone to cooperate in the spirit of true patriotism.
[shuffles toe]
Oh, and by the way… can I try on that tiara?
*gives Tessie her own tiara, made of teh spechul*
Obama is a centrist. Did you see his Harvard Law School adviser on the Daily Show last night? He thought Obama was a Republican when they first met. He said Reagan was Obama’s favorite president. I am a socialist anarchist, and Obama is no socialist! Don’t worry, teh ebil socialists are not coming to stealz yer propuhtie.
but all my wealth are belong to me and only me forever and ever!
I iz in ur wealth, rollin in it forever and ever!
(did I really type that?)
Scrooge McDuck?
Not me. I don’t own it….I’m just rollin in it.
They see me rollin in it… They hatin’
Tom needs to stop using my roads and infrastructure.
And schools?
[Naahhh... too easy]
He already stopped using them years ago.
“It is not very unreasonable that the rich shold contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revinue, but something more in that proportion.”
“Every man holds his property subject ot the general right of the community to regulate its use to whatever degree the public welfare may require it.”
Do you know who said these? Marx? Engels? Lenin? Trotsky?
No. The first quote is from Adam Smith. The second is from Teddy Roosevelt (the REPUBLICAN Roosevelt.)
I like this one:
“Civil government, so far as it is instituted for the security of property, is in reality instituted for the defense of the rich against the poor, or of those who have some property against those who have none at all. ” — Adam Smith, “The Wealth of Nations”
Damn commie.
Then move out of the U.S. You wont be missed.
You can drop the “Obama-is-a-socialist” mantra. The election campaign is over. Anyway, you probably wouldn’t recognize a Socialist if some body dropped one on you.
Socialism is awesome! Why hasn’t Bush proven that to you yet?
Bailout reference WIN.
Now this is actually funny and non-partisan! WIN.
Lulz, baby. At least it takes the attention away from Obama stupidly gazing at that guy’s manboobs, while the man in question appears to be adjusting himself. And I think that woman in the background is smuggling coffee beans.
Ya… Now that is just disturbing. I wish you hadn’t brought it to my attention.
Sorry about that. Try to concentrate on the flamboyant baby again.
MUST FOCUS DWN-SAN!!!
Bush’s speech was actually unusually eloquent and smirk free when he was talking about what a great day it was for America and how all Americans, no matter how they voted, can be proud of this day.
No one cares what that asshat has to say. He needs to pack his crap and leave immediately. I can only hope he trips on a frayed piece of carpet on his way down the stairs–and gets there much faster than walking.
Just stop. Your comments are so full of fail, it’s impossible to describe…
Yes. We criticize those wishing violence on our candidate and we also criticize those wishing violence on the opponent. It’s not ok from either side. This isn’t the American way. We disagreed on the campaign trail. Mud was flung. But Hope has won the day. Time to move on and try for unity.
>.> Since when was wishing violence upon others NOT the American way… I mean… The brown people! We must explode the brown people!!
LOL We only wish violence when we’re “pretending” to be brown people and dumping the whiteys tea into Boston Harbor.
Happy baby!
I wrote in Baby. Looks like he got some votes.
President in 2032 =P
Perhaps in 2044,
he won’t be old enough to run in 2032!
OK, that’s it, you guys!
I am TOTALLY stealing that baby!
[tucks baby under one arm like a football]
Don’t try to stop me!
[runs away]
MINE!
::Runs after::
NOOOO! BABY! Don’t take the BABY!
D’awwww
CUTE BABY 2012
A VOTE FOR CUTE BABY IS A VOTE FOR AMERICA
I love to see a baby look that happy. It just makes me all warm inside.
pfft i don’t see the reason why you guys are whining, you live in a country where you can make your own choices and that’s something great( like compare your self to russia or china – communism ftw eh? no. ) so there isn’t much difference between mccain or obama. yes, the war and everything but still. you still have your self, not a big chance of getting thrown into siberia or something >..< plus he’s your president now, not much you can do about it ._.
isn’t the kid CUTE?
heheh. SO true. That cute little kid TOTALLY is stealing the picture.
Holy cow! That baby is made of marshmallows and sunshine!
That baby reminds me of Charlie with hair. Obama better watch his fingers.
Yes indeed, a most cute baby. He looks like he’s going to nom the phone.
He’s not as cute as mine, but I’m a biased father…
Goddamn, that kid is creepy-looking.
ZOMG! I just about cried that kid is so cute!!!! That’s one happy kid.
I haven’t commented on this one yet? Oh yeah, PK ate my comment. Cutest friggin’ kid EVER.
The head of that man’s penis sure does look like a baby.
Was trying to look for a video of Obama’s acceptance speech and I found this:
I think it has the baby in it…I think her name is Gracie?
lol
i know all you guys are arguing about how obama and mccain’s policies, but let me give you a perspective from overseas. with bush’s incompetency creating disastrous repercussions for the rest of the world, the general international opinion of both bush and the american public was that they were/are all complete idiots. obama’s win, even if he is not the president that all americans maybe have wanted but at least he has restored the faith of many abroad in both human nature and a nation that was perceived as extremely idiotic and racist.
I’d say more or less the same thing: If I lived in the US, I’d too take the risk and electing Obama – even if in the end he does/did screw everything up, at least it would most deff be a change from Bush policies etc. So I’m quite happy with the results
Is it just me or does that kid look like Chucky? OH GAWD HES GONNA KILL OBAMA!
