Wow I'm speechless.
WOW!!!
I feel like I just handed my car keys to my 9 year old son...........Hope I have enough insurance!!
:(
let's cross our fingers and hope for the best!:thumbsup:
McCain makes his concession speech. It's over folks. Barack Obama is the next president!
Can you say President Barack Obama. Yes We Can. Now lets hear from all the haters.:rasta::rastasmoke::pimp:
the rest of the world is celebrating
i hope mccain's supporters accept reality (even though mccain blamed his loss on the ethnic vote in his loser speech)
Here is to President Barack Obama :pipe:
Congratulations to all of his supporters. I sure hope he remains true to himself, his promises and all those who voted for him.
latest electoral numbers suggest a 2:1 win. (333-155 CNN - 334-157 RCP - foxnews map is not loading any data for some reason)
and I think McCain gave the best speech of his campaign. Why couldnt have he stayed this john mccain all this time... [funny, people still bood obama's name]
I just witnessed one of the greatest moments of the American and world's history for years to come, and just this fact makes me feel really good.:thumbsup:
But I'm really glad that this campaign is over, i for one could not take it anymore!
we can now only wait and hope, to see how he does his job.
peace out!:rastasmoke:
all i can say is get ready its gonna be a bumpy ride
:yippee::yippee::yippee::yippee::yippee:
WOOOT
Well... i already had felt that it would happen, even before i posted this, exactly five months ago, at June 5th:

Now the day has come. And im not glad that he won (but would be yet less glad if the winner were McCain), cause it shows the end is near...
Yes... 2008 was a strange year indeed... and its not over yet! :eek:
I'm glad Obama is president we could use a change and lets hope its a good one. I am also pleased that it looks like Medical Marijuana is going to pass in Michigan!!! :thumbsup:
God can we stop talking about this already. Ive had enough. was it sen. Douchebag or sen. Turd Sandwich. who cares same feaking team! More importantly America spoke tonight. Did anyone even notice that they kept the senate and the house. Thats America speaking loudly to me saying they had enough of the Bush era and would do anything to get out of it. ANYTHING!
Hell yea. I've watched the polls day after day, and even though it was clear that Obama SHOULD win (as in the clear majority of voters wanted him to win), I just haven't been able to shake the sense of dread that somehow this election would still be stolen. But it didn't happen. We won. Obama won. America won. The nightmare that we've lived under for the last eight years is nearly over, and we have a chance to build a better future. This was the single most important and historic election that any of us are ever likely to be part of in our lifetimes, and yet the shock that it has actually happened leaves me feeling numb and shocked - Maybe by tomorrow it will really sink in, but right now I'm just trying to process the fact that it's finally over.Quote:

Congratulations, America - you won.
sad sad day.
Have mercy on us..
America has Spoken very clearly
this is Rush Limbaugh's last words before tonight's outcome
Ignore the Exit Polls and Go Vote!
This was not by any means a 'close' win as some would have imagined
so far its near 52% - 47% and I would guess it will get more distant on popular vote once all votes are counted. more like 60-40. on electoral votes, well numbers speak of a 2 to 1 win, even a bit higher! its almost a 340 to 160
Oh "YES WE DID" and YES WE CAN
there is a shit ton of work to be done now and i hope the next admin and congress can deal with it far far better than the previous one
:thumbsup: i just saw on cnn that mich. was up 2 to 1. landslide!!!!!Quote:

Even in using the term double standard, without any basis for assuming any poster here abides by so-called "standards", a guilty and defensive conscience is also implied.)Quote:

Either way, the cannabis community had it's share of victory tonight, with the passing of the two bills aforementioned. I expect a number of new mmj bills to be presented soon... will they pass? Who knows. But imo, cannabis will not be rescheduled until the majority of our nation's states have decriminalization laws in place... Or if the older, less experienced with marijuana folks in congress die and get replaced with someone with a more positive attitude to the subject. We shall tread on...
ok,Quote:

Of course not, but that statement can be accepted as truth by me (in terms of the celebration). Sure, it's slightly racist, but segregation wasn't that long ago. I mean, it's only been a matter of hours since this country has breached that race barrier, so of course many black citizens will be in good spirits, knowing how much less race matters now. How could a white person fathom what a black person could be feeling tonight? Said caucasian wouldn't be able to fully understand, as they wouldn't have been exposed to the same type of discrimination in their lives.Quote:

I humbly suggest you guys stop complaining about how the election went down. The American people have spoken, and the majority wants Barack Obama.
Instead of tearing him down, you should hope what he does as president is as historically amazing as his election was.
i keep my hopes high, i will be around this site for a very long time to come as long as i dont get banned or the site doesnt go down. and in not far of a distance in future, i see a national reform of mj laws, then a gathering of all tx smokers will be hell of a lot easier, we can a road trip, all towards austin, car poolin 2gether, n have a cannabis.com smoke out without fear!!!Quote:

First time in my life I'm older than the president, lol!
I'm really happy about this win. I think Obama is going to be a good president, and I think he has the potential to be a GREAT president. I think he has the right priorities, and the judgemnt, temperment, character and charisma to carry them out.
Obama gave a great acceptance speach tonight. As some of the commentators mentioned, it wasn't all about himself as they so often are, "I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that. I, I, I...." It was about what WE as a country are going to do, and it was realistic about the challenges WE face. I think he is the right leader for this time and he is going to lead US in what WE need to do.
And I thought that McCain's concession speach was one of the best speaches he has given all year. When I saw it, I thought, Now THAT is the McCain a person could VOTE for. Where has he been for the election? I used to like him, but he turned into a hatemongering, xenophobe for the past several months, and I was actually disgusted by him and his campaign. Then as soon as he lost, it was like the old McCain I used to admire was back to concede the race. Wierd. If he had been true to himself the whole way through, he might have won it.
Don't bother, the hardcore's who hated on Obama for the race will just hate him even more now, especially since it was a 2:1 win. No one likes getting beat that badly, lol. Although in McCain's defense, the popular vote was pretty much razor close; he just didn't do nearly the work he needed to do in the bigger states.Quote:

There are going to be some hard feelings for awhile, but hopefully people will come around to the idea of at least giving the guy a chance. We have some very serious problems in this country, and instead of just fighting over who is going to get credit and blame, and who will be SEEN as right or wrong, we need to work together and IMMEDIATELY get down to business.Quote:

Figure out why it is that their party lost touch with the mainstream to such a degree that the voters have completely stripped them of all power. Republicans held the presidency and both houses only 8 years ago, and now they have lost all of that in a complete reversal. They need to figure out why, fix it, and then come back when they are ready. In the meantime, they need to accept that the voters have spoken.
