    Again, he's not 100% black, is he?
    :confused: Huh? You DID know that Bush wasn't even up for reelection, right? You could have, technically, said this in 2005. :)

    Great for history. For the present and future? Well, I hope everybody is ready for higher taxes and a deepening recession or depression.

    Buckle down, boys and girls, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

    No matter if you voted for McCain or Obama today is a historic day. Even 20 years I don't think you could say a black man name barack hussein Obama would have had any chance at being president. This country has moved a long way forward.

    McCain gave a great concession speech. I hope that the healing can immediately begin.

    We already have socialism. It's called income tax. If you make over $250k, sorry I can't shed a tear for you.

    try making over $250k and everything it takes to get to that income level, and then be penalized for it.......then make that same statement. I'm not sure you understand what socialism is.......or Barack Obamas true tax plan.

    regardless, Obama is the President. Congrats to him. I'll support him, untill he and his bizarre policies start effecting my family, my income and myself, which I excpect should be fairly soon.

    again, congrats to Obama and his historical accomplishments.

    Have you heard of a glass ceiling? IT EXISTS. What percentage of Americans make over $250k a year? We're not talking about networth but income. According to the data from the 2005 Census, 1.5% of American households earn $250,000 or more per year.

    That's why McGrady was smiling at the end of the game.
