Wanda Sykes: "There's Gonna Be Some Booty-Slapping" N DA WH

PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barack Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States, opening a new chapter in the country's history as the first African-American to hold the world's most important job.

``If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer,'' Obama told more than 100,000 people who gathered for a victory celebration in Chicago's Grant Park.

The Illinois senator capped his 21-month quest with a sweeping electoral victory that also enhanced the Democrats' majority in Congress and marked the end of an era of Republican dominance in Washington.

Obama crossed the requisite threshold of 270 electoral votes to defeat Republican rival John McCain last night when television networks projected him winning the state of California. He had at least 338 electoral votes to McCain's 145, according to the Associated Press and television network projections. Six states remained undecided.

His victory, along with his party's gains in congressional contests, puts Democrats in firm control of the federal government for the first time since the early 1990s. That gives Obama an opportunity to turn his victory into a pivotal moment in the country's political history.

McCain's Concession

McCain, speaking to supporters in Phoenix, conceded the race and said he called his rival ``to congratulate him on being elected the next president.''

``Senator Obama has achieved a great thing for himself and his country,'' McCain said. ``This is an historic election, and I recognize the special significance it has for African- Americans and the special pride that must be theirs tonight.''

McCain pledged to do ``all in my power'' to assist Obama and urged his backers ``to find ways to come together'' for the good of the country.

During their phone conversation, Obama told McCain that he hoped to work with him in the future, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said. Obama told McCain, ``I need your help, you're a leader on so many important issues,'' Gibbs said.

Obama also received a congratulatory call from President George W. Bush, who promised a ``smooth transition,'' White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

Promising Change

Obama, 47, swept to victory by promising a change in Washington, inspiring millions of new voters and volunteers along the way. He persuaded the electorate that he could best handle the economic crisis facing the country. He raised more money than any presidential candidate in history, overwhelming McCain.

``He wants to be a transforming leader,'' said presidential historian James McGregor Burns in a Bloomberg radio interview. Such a leader, like Franklin Delano Roosevelt, ``knows how to proclaim great goals and summons the people to help him realize those goals,'' said Burns, who has written biographies of Roosevelt and other presidents.

Having based his presidential bid on change and using that theme to create a new electoral coalition, Obama must now follow through or risk alienating those supporters, Burns said.

``He has made that so crucial to his campaign: change, change, change,'' Burns said. ``This man cannot escape now the responsibilities of trying to bring it about.''

No Guarantees

And while Obama will have the opportunity to build on his appeal to young Americans and energize their generation, there is no guarantee of success, said Scott Keeter, director of survey research at the Pew Research Center in Washington.

``The problems that George W. Bush has had, especially in his second term, have really hurt the Republican Party's brand,'' Keeter said. ``There's no reason to think that couldn't happen if Obama has problems as well.''

The racial symbolism of Obama's campaign was never far from the surface. He formally declared his candidacy in February 2007 in Springfield, Illinois, evoking the spirit of Abraham Lincoln and his call for the nation to overcome the divisions of slavery. Obama ended his campaign Monday night with a rally in Manassas, Virginia, the site of two Confederate Civil War victories.

At the same time, Obama generally avoided overt discussions of racial issues. The one exception was in March, when revelations of inflammatory remarks by his longtime pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, led him to deliver a lengthy address on the subject.

Break With Past

Obama's victory represents a break with the razor-thin margins in the last two presidential elections.

In 2004, the election was too close to call until the next morning, when Democrat John Kerry conceded after concluding he couldn't surpass Bush's vote total in the decisive state of Ohio, which Obama won tonight. Four years earlier, Bush's victory over Vice President Al Gore was in doubt for more than five weeks while Florida recounted its ballots. The Supreme Court finally halted the recount in December, and Gore capitulated.

Obama comes to the White House promising to pursue universal health-care coverage, alternative sources of energy and middle-class tax cuts. He faces daunting challenges: the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the lingering threat of international terrorism.

Obama will have a Democratic House and Senate behind him after he takes the oath of office on Jan. 20. While not all of the races have been decided, the president-elect's party has clearly made gains in Congress.

Obama shows off dance moves after Michelle talks 'smack'

Barack Obama lauded his wife Michelle at his evening event for being a better speaker than he is. Apparently she is also a better dancer.

The Democratic presidential nominee taped an appearance for the "Ellen DeGeneres Show" after his rally on a makeshift set behind the press filing tent. DeGeneres told Obama that when Michelle appeared on her show "she was talking some smack" about his dance "moves."

Standing in front of a few rows of supporters, Obama danced to James Brown's "Get Up Offa That Thing" much to the delight of the talk show host.

"Let me tell you that Michelle may be a better dancer. But I'm convinced I'm a better dancer than John McCain," Obama said.

Rapper Nas Delivers Fox News Petition, Says Network Is "Scared"

YES IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE TOOK ON RACIST ASS FOX FIX NEWS!!!!!!!!! WITH ITS SLIMY AND RACIST PEOPLE I.E SEAN HANNITY AKA RACIEST A--HOLE, KARL THE CROOK ROVE, THE BIGGEST BIGOT Bill O'Reilly, THAT SICKING STATION NEEDS TO BE SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN!!!

About four hours after the announcement that his controversial, politically charged ninth album was number one in the country, Nas was on a small podium in front of Fox News headquarters in New York City protesting what he sees as racist attacks against Black Americans and presidential candidate Barack Obama. In a brief prepared statement, the multi-platinum rapper pointed out examples of what he and ColorOfChange see as a long racist smear campaign against the Obama family: The onscreen graphic that referred to Michelle Obama as the Senator's "baby mama"; Bill O'Reilly casually using the phrase "lynching party" to refer to attacks on the Senator's wife; referencing to the couple's infamous fist thump as a "terrorist fist jab." Said Nas, "Fox poisons this country every time they air racist propaganda and try to call it news. This should outrage every American that Fox uses hateful language to talk about the person that may be the first black president."


The rapper stood next to 19 neatly stacked cardboard boxes, with the number 620,127 taped to the side of each one -- over 600,000 signatures gathered by ColorOfChange demanding that network president Roger Ailes "find a solution to address racial stereotyping and hate-mongering before it hits the airwaves." Fox rejected the petitions, but Brave New Films says that Comedy Central's The Colbert Report will accept them instead.

T4R-Nas is on point and this makes us respect him even more. Someone needs to take on racist Faux News and the moron Sean Hannity. I am sick of the way he assaults Obama every night on his show. Colmes is a total weakling and does not stick up for Obama. I can't stand O'Reilly either

here's the music video for Sly Fox, Nas's takedown of Fox News (some explicit lyrics):

THE NEW YORKER IS FULL IS S%&IT

There is no headline on the cover of art. The flap on the cover says the following: "How Obama became a pol. Ryan Lizza on the candidate's first campaigns - and how Chicago's byzantine politics shaped him"

And the headline on the inside says: "Making It: How Chicago shaped Obama" by Ryan Lizza.

That's it. No article deals with the issue of fear, and the headline doesn't match it at all.

The New Yorker is saying one thing and is doing another.

And frankly, they missed an opportunity.

The real culprits are the people the New Yorker should have been ripping to shreds: the rhetorical bullies, mostly on right wing conservative and television, that have been the chief merchants in selling this mess to the American people.

With their twisted logic, adherence to removing any context, and just flat out lying, they have been the driving force behind the smearing of Obama.

I've heard these rhetorical thugs call Michelle Obama "militant," and offer nothing to back it up, hoping folks will envision Angela Davis and the Black Panthers when they think of Michelle.

You've had right wing windbags continue to speculate about Obama being Muslim, even though the evidence is against that.

From day one these nuts have tried to scare the hell out of America, whether it was trying to make Obama accept every word from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright; assert that neither Obama is a true American; all in an effort to make them both ungrateful to what America "gave" them.

Save your passion and anger for those fools, not a magazine that was trying to push the envelope to show the fear in which they choose to instill in the minds of the uneducated and easily impressionable. Unfortunately, the New Yorker failed.

Shame on them, but also shame on the fear mongerers, and they should be called out by name, no matter what network they work for, no matter what time of day their radio shows come on, and no matter which magazine, newspaper or syndicate they write for.

AND WHERE IS HILLARY TO CONDEMN THIS GARBAGE? SINCE NEW YORK IS SUPPOSE TO BE HER STATE, AND SHE WANTS OBAMA'S SUPPORTERS TO HELP HER WITH HER DEBT?

READ INSIDE THE NEW YORKER HERE AND SEE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COVER

FAUX NEWS IS SCUM!!!

Brave New Films: Sorry FOX, We Won't Let You Trash Michelle Obama

"Not only are they smearing Michelle Obama with racist stereotypes, but then they offer a feeble apology that they believe gives them the right to slander her again," the group says in a press release. "FOX's long history of racism is nothing new, but it has been particularly egregious when it comes to their coverage of the Obamas. Racism and fearmongering have no place in our country or its politics, despite what FOX would have you believe."

McCain: I 'Didn't Love America' Until Held Prisoner

Now we all know if Michelle Obama would have said that she didn't love america it would be spreading like wild fire, as the day goes on we are begining to see the racist side of the media and esp the repugs! WAKE UP AMERICA!!Republicans have hammered Michelle Obama for her remarks in February that she was proud of America "for the first time in my adult life." however, Dan Abrams showed footage he uncovered of a Fox News interview with John McCain on March 13, 2008, in which McCain said, "I didn't really love America until I was deprived of her company."

Abrams thinks McCain's comments could undermine the "right wing's steady attacks against Michelle Obama."
