"It's a really good day today."

 

"It truly is a great time to be alive!"

 

Agreed. I'm more about learning from the mistakes of the past and moving on as quickly as possible. Not about participating in recriminations. I do not condemn those who choose to do so. Not today. The last eight years have been very difficult no doubt.

 

My bottom line: I'm a proud American again...

Wow, OK, enough of the circle jerk, Jesus... I'm glad the guy won, but prognostications that Obama will be up there with the sacred trinity of Washington, FDR and Lincoln are just a tad premature. There's still plenty of time for him and his administration to fuck it up big, quite possibly for reasons outside of his control.

Last night was amazing in Cap Hill! Broadway & Pike was almost a moshpit.. crowd surfers, random friends i hadn't seen in a while and bumped into, even crazy gray-haired hippy guy waving ribbons around (he's a regular at the solstice parade, though he was wearing clothes tonight). Folks were erupting into spontaneous anthem singing, high-fiving, hugging, etc.

I was having a blast (just like that last night on the Titanic) and then....but then I realized me and the other folks high fiving and grooving to the new world order were simply smarter than all those other dumb fucks...yea that must be it....

 

NEW YORK, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Wall Street hardly delivered a

rousing welcome to President-elect Barack Obama on Wednesday,

dropping by the largest margin on record for a day following a U.S.

presidential contest. The slide more than wiped out the previous day's advance, the

largest Election Day rally ever for U.S. stocks. The following table shows the percentage rise or decline in the

Dow Jones industrial average .DJI, Standard & Poor's 500 index

.SPX and Nasdaq composite index .IXIC on the day after a U.S

presidential election and who won the Election Day vote.
