Obama Won Because.... | 1:01 a.m. Nov. 5, 2008
1 - First and foremost, foolishness on the part of many voters, whites, blacks,
etc alike, who still do not have any clue as to what this guy stands for.
"Change!" they shout zombie-like, but you have no idea as to how that
change will come about or, more importantly, what the consequences of those
changes will be. The biggest negative consequences will be Americans dying
while they wait for socialized medical help to arrive, just like occurs in
Canada. And, just as bad, if not worse, will be the death of initiative,
desire, dreams and effort from those who sit on their couches and wait for their
government checks to arrive. What a colossal waste of talent and personal
growth.
2 - Guilt. Guilt on the part of those who wanted to assauge their conscience for past mis-deeds of all kinds, who got sucked into the Obama-mania hype the liberal mainstream media relentlessly pushed, and voted for a black American to show their willingess to restore past wrongs.
3 - Racial pride from black Americans. How many polls, interviews, etc have you observed in which black Americans said they were overwhelmingly NOT going to vote for Obama?

He has likely signed the death certificate for our country as we know it simply
because of his haste to be the first in history to do this thing which so manyu
have wanted. The U.S. is the first nation in history to completely outlaw
slavery, although it didnt happen in northern states for some years after the
Civil War, followed by giving full citizen rights and voting rights as well as
the right to even run for office. We have provided the path for change and no,
it wasn't all made possible by one man but a lot of decent and well meaning
people along the way who were not blacks at all. He and his wife are America
haters and will be good allies to those who attacked us on 9/11 and he has even
said he will meet unconditionally with these people, some of whom do things like
behead journalists to simply make a statement or get publicity. The president of
Iran is one of the hostage takers that held our fellow Americans captive in the
70's. Obama wishes to sit down for a tea with him. when Joe the plumber
made him show his immaturityonTV, weshouldhavetakennote.

How did Obama win?
Good grief!, how could he NOT win with the country's entire mainstream liberal media sleeping with him long before he became the Dem's nominee?
Can ANYONE honestly tell me that the media's coverage of this Presidential race was NOT heavily slanted towards Obama?
Scott Card hit the nail on the head....

Socialism | 1:31 a.m. Nov. 5, 2008
yeah, I love socialism, I don't have to work now, Obama now will take from
the hard working rich people and give to the poor. why work because now uncle
Bill G will be helping me.

I was touched by the speeches of both McCain and Obama. McCain was so gracious
and rose above party politics. As a teacher educator who cares about social
justice issues in K-12 schools,
I am thrilled by the grace, intelligence, and kindness of Obama's speech. He has demonstrated the beacon of hope so important for immigrant children. I love the image for the world to see of a strong, loving Black family in the White House.
I appreciate "Happy's" post....willing to look ahead rather than continue anger and cultural wars. Thank you for beginning the healing.

He inspires hope- campaigned on hope- Mccain played on peoples fear- that's
the CHANGE we wanted!

to that last comment your post reminds us (americans) that a landslide victory
is not because people actually came together and wanted to change their country
and that the fact that we could all strive for a common purpose and actually
make this happen and overcome hardships, INSTEAD you try to give a logical
reason a racially mixed man won the white house? (dispicable!) because blacks
got together and turned out in record numbers? because OBAMA is just so popular
with young voters? and you assert that people voted for obama so that they
wouldnt seem racist? your ignorance amazes me! I cannot believe you would try to
speak for those and claim that people who voted for obama are
"zombie-like" that we did it as part of a fad? and that we dont know
anybetter to who this man is? you dont speak for me nor many of the americans
that voted this year. Our dreams are alive and just as strong as ever and its
about time we all got together an stop clinging to negative excuses such as
yours.

Hello. Obama won because he resonated with the most people who made it to the
polls.
I didn't vote for him, but I hope the slogan all of us as citizens get behind is "Yes We Can!" Doesn't matter who the president is if we the people go back to our couches and tvs. If we want real change, if we want laws that protect our freedoms and reflect our personal responsibility and restore the Constitution, if we want to be better off with lower debt, disease, and unrest, with increased savings, innovation, and jobs in the coming years WE THE PEOPLE MUST GET OFF OUR BACKSIDES AND CREATE SOLUTIONS.
Yes. We can.

Happy Day For America | 2:24 a.m. Nov. 5, 2008
It's quite safe to say most Americans are not better than they were 8 years
ago. Obama will be a positive influence on the economy, foreign policy, and the
debacle in the Middle East. He may be tested by some, but will have a stronger
backing by others. It's time for a change and this is a great day in
American history. If it were not for progress we would still be living in caves.
Actually, Obama won because... | 2:48 a.m. Nov. 5, 2008
...his message of change resonates with a majority of Americans. It has been a
rough eight years under George Bush, and the country needs to head in a
drastically different direction, one that fosters (rather than tramples on) the
principles that make our country great. That is the promise of an Obama
administration, and I think the man can make it happen.
The fear-mongering that apparently still continues among Obama opponents never ceases to amaze me. Give Obama a chance to share his vision and to try to put this country back on course.

European | 3:43 a.m. Nov. 5, 2008
To 'Obama won because ...' you might also consider the reason he won
was because the majority of Americans were sick and tired of the past eight
years under the rule of a buffoon masquerading as president. Thank goodness you
now have someone who can put a sensible sentence together and will think before
he acts. America can be great once more and not the laughing stock it became
under Bush Junior. Great credit to your country for voting in a black president.
It says a lot about the people as a whole. I hope he can deliver what he's
promised. To McCain, I think he's a good guy but was hampered by the Bush
legacy. I'm sure he'll continue to make a valuable contribution. As
for Palin - (the person who put the Alas into Alaska), what can I say? Romney
would have been a more sensible and timely choice with his business background.
I guess the Americans were ready for a black president but not a Mormon. Now
that is quite sad. You have still work to do.

"Obama Won Because" why didn't you write, Obama won because I am
the only one that can see that he was lying? Sounds like sour grapes.
The reality you miss is that Obama won because he ran a superior campaign that focused on issues and people rejected Karl Rove style attacks.
Obama won because people rejected paying $10 billion a month for a war in Iraq while we have a financial crisis at home.
Obama won because this country actually is a centrist country, and Republican right wing theocratic ideals as embraced by Sarah Palin were rejected.
Obama won because conservative ideals of an unregulated free market have failed.
Obama won because people decided to embrace knowledge rather than revel in Republican anti-intelectualism.
Obama won because he inspires people.
Obama won because he did not vote for the failed policies of George Bush 90+% of the time.
And by the way, had McCain, the one that gave the concession speech shown up to the debates and on the campaign trail there may have been a different outcome. Instead he embraced the nasty rhetoric of the divisive right wing of the Republican party. That is what America rejected.

I believe that President Elect Barack Obama may prove to be one of the great
chief executives of this country. He is brilliant, determined and a person with
excellent judgment. Compared to the current occupant of the White House, Sen.
Obama is an overwhelming improvement.
Unfortunately, the McCain/Palin campaign chose to try to win the election by engaging in demagoguery. It has encouraged an often ignorant constituency to believe nonsense about the upcoming president, such as that he is a socialist, radical or even the Antichrist. John McCain, Sarah Palin and their surrogates have a duty to help mend the societal divide they widened. They can do so by declaring solidarity with the new president and repudiating the smear campaigns they encouraged against him.

A reply to the person posting "Obama Won Because.."
Wake up and see the real world! Have you even read his list of actions on Economy,Education, Energy & Environment, Foreign Policy, Health Care, Home Land Security, and the list goes on. Do you seriously oppose that McCain would have done a better job or has a better Economic solution/Plan? He even said he's not very good at Economics. Oh hey, maybe bright head Sarah Palin could help him? I can not remember when some one has ever come across as having such lack of inteligence and a lack of knowledge. She is a joke in Europe. And we are used to high profile politicians here. And what is wrong with focus on black Americans. Sounds like you're the one with the problem. Attitude!

Sad Day for America | 4:28 a.m. Nov. 5, 2008
It truly is. Socialism won. The war in Iraq has just been conceded. Our
troops will come home in defeat and terrorists will glady inhabit Iraq again.
2nd Amendment rights are going to be tossed out the window. Rush, Glenn, Sean
will all be shut down...by their own government. Socialized medicine will come
along with the troubling issues that will cause. Redistribution of wealth will
reward laziness and penalize free enterprise. Gas taxes, food taxes, property
taxes, all kinds of "hidden taxes" will be placed on the shoulders of
Americans enamored with a silly word "Change." It is a sure guarantee
that our country will indeed change. That is certain. In the early 20th
century, Germany went for "change" too. Look where it got them. I
truly pray that we don't go that far.
As to race, this is where America won. Not with Obama but their ability to look past race. This is positive but the victory is shallow as the substance of the candidate was not vetted by the far left liberal press who jumped on the bandwagon and slaughtered McCain in the process. Very sad indeed.

of your promises or blame President Bush for the next 4 years.

Obama won because people are fed up with the carnage of the GOP. Eight years of
the worst presidency ever and many of the GOP still don't get it. Obama won
because the American people decided that we did not need four more years of
Bush. Obama won because the American people wanted him.
I agree with Happy - let's work together - as a country - to CHANGE America and to offer hope to future generations.

Nobama | 4:51 a.m. Nov. 5, 2008
Yes...I too am not quite happy that Obama won. All these things he promises he
will do he can not do because of the US' failing economy. With him spending
so much we might go into another Great Depression. He also taxes rich people
unfairly like he is forcing them to do charity against their own will.
re: Obama Won Because | 4:56 a.m. Nov. 5, 2008
People die NOW waiting for medical help in America. How about we work toward a
health care system in which more people can get to a doctor before they get that
sick? We gave Republicans the past 8 years to solve this, and other problems.
What happened? Certainly they did not get rid of people sitting on their couches
waiting for checks to arrive! These problems existed before President Obama,
they will exist after. If Republican government was the answer, the problems
would be gone!
The good thing about this election is it will become very apparent who the racists are. And I can stay faaaaar away from them.

This past election was LONG, and hard fought. I don't remember such
segregation as what I feel among this people. So many irate feelings have
broiled within these "United" States. Lies and criticism have torn us.
The issues we face are fascinating, and unique to our era. Even families and
religions have been divided in this qualm.
We have elected a new President! Although he's not the candidate I preferred, he is the one selected to lead this "One Nation, Under God". From this moment forth I hope "We the People" can support our new leader! As a people it is our responsibility to respect and uphold our leaders. I trust that he will do his best, and I trust that the Lord's eyes are upon this land, just as they've always been. Lets put this hate aside, let ire subside, and in synergy, let us continue to look at our banner with pride, working as One People!
Again I throw a shout out to our new President-elect Barack Obama, and I pray that the Lord will inspire him to do what is best for the USA for the next four years!

I agree with Obama Won Because, and what was posted.
We have been trained as Americans that after an Election we put aside our differences and unite behind the person elected. A large part of me wants to do that. However not this time around.
I am throughly disguested with what America did today. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of Abortion and Partial Birth Abortion, as well as other things.
Obama represents Hope but only for the Dopes that Voted for him. He is Not and He Never Will be My President.

the American people an ear full of empty promises. Cause he did promise alot and
I hope he lives up to each and every one of them for ALL of U.S. Citizens.
ECR | 5:28 a.m. Nov. 5, 2008
It's a great day in AmericA. I voted for Obama for a number of reasons but
the most important reason is that I thought he was best qualified to lead our
country in a new direction - away from the status quo that has us mired in a
financial disaster and in two foreign wars. I will also admit that a strong
reason for my vote was the significance of voting for Barack Obama and the
message it sends to the world. His face, his name, his dimeanor are all
indications and signals that Americans want a change - especially from the path
our country has followed the past eight years. Where we lost our position as
the light of hope in the world, Obama's election is a signal that we want
to regain that position, no matter how long it takes or how hard we have to work
to regain it. It will take the efforts of all Americans from all parts of the
country. I hope and pray that it comes about.
how can he? | 5:30 a.m. Nov. 5, 2008
how can he lead all Americans when his value system is so much different than
that held by so many of us?
Sammy | 5:34 a.m. Nov. 5, 2008
I'm not sure who wrote his acceptance speech but it was Awesome. I loved
it. That is what America needs right now.
If he even tries to do that than we will be OK.
He doesn't really have a clue and is just a politician so we are probably going to deal with the same old Democrat nonsense.
But he did nail his speech and I will at least give him a chance because he got that part right.
Impressed so far.

It was fear of change and loyalty to a king that led many early colonists to
reject the ideas of the Revolution.
FDR reminded us that our own fear of change was the real fear.
As a white Republican, I reject the idea that my vote was based on guilt.
My hope is that Republicans can find their way back to their platform and EARN my vote, rather than expect it because it was always there in the past.
I am saddened that two or three Utah House members remain in their seats. Shows Utah can overlook weaknesses in their own representative but have difficulty in extending that empathy to some other groups.

A Parable 1 | 5:54 a.m. Nov. 5, 2008
Evil Rich Person had an asset he was considering selling for a profit. His plan
was to sell for a profit, pay a modest tax, and re-invest in another asset. He
expected the new asset to produce income from which he would pay another modest
tax and maybe, sometime in the future sell for more profit and pay another
modest tax.
The nation elected a president who did not believe in modest taxes for Evil Rich Persons. He raised them, hoping to gain enough money to pay those people who elected him. He called his Secretary of the Treasury and asked if Evil Rich Person had paid his increased taxes on the profit he would make on the sale of his asset. The Secretary of Treasury said that Evil Rich Person had not paid the tax because he determined that he would be better off keeping is asset and avoid paying the tax. We are worse off than we were with a modest tax.

Shame on the media cover up for not investigating that Obama was not born in the
USA and that he shouldn't have been eligible to become a candidate in the
first place. Despite pending lawsuits (Berg vs Obama)this has been kept a non
issue through silence on the part of the media and also for the Bush justice
department to act. We the people of the United States have not been served
fairly.

im a white american who lives here in utah and had no problem voting for obama.
i get the feeling the majority of utahns voted solely for mccain for three
reasons; because obama is part black, they say he is a terrorist, and because
they just vote republican because they always have. you cant try and tell me
its because alot of republican ideals coincide with the lds church, because
thats ridiculous. the church would endorse a canidate if that were the case. i
am lds and we were counciled to study each canidate carefully and make the
decision we thought was best, i did that, and voted for President-elect Barack
Obama
Atlman | 6:19 a.m. Nov. 5, 2008
Why cannot everyone who voted against Obama be as gracious and respectful of the
will of the American people as Sen. McCain was last night? Let go of the hate.
Pray for our new President-elect. If you continue with bitterness and hate, it
will only feed on itself. Pray for guidance for our government. God is not a
Republican or a Democrat.
Laura | 6:27 a.m. Nov. 5, 2008
All I can say is study the constitution. It's officially hanging by a
thread. We are being spoon fed socialism. Time is running out on the freedoms
that actually enabled this country to become what it is. Despite the death grip
by democrats and other well meaning liberals, America chokes for air striving to
stay alive.
The last 4 years the democrats have been in control in both the house and senate. Now, who thinks it's going to get better?
Sigh.

... for his gracious and inspiring speech. I had lost respect for him during the
campaign, but last night he showed true character and strength. Too bad he
wasn't the GOP candidate in 2000. Had he been president for the last 8
years, Obama would not have so much damage to repair right now. Let's work
together and stop the name-calling and divisions. God bless America!

the producers.
