    I got snookered too:

    1. The video was sent to me by someone I know and love.
    2. There is an American flag showing.
    3. The young man is dressed in a khaki shirt (hmmm, military?).
    4. The young man looks very serious.
    5. Had there been a dog or cat in the video, I would have clicked Play even faster.

    I'm apparently very lonely.

    Another at your attempt at misleading people. Also my livelihood is based on being on the internet.
    LOL, and so being here more than two years longer and working on the internet shows I'm wrong how?

    No. It's that math thing again. He's been on longer and therefore even at the same rate of posting, there will be more posts.

    Yes, exactly. More time, more posts, more lonely hours on the internet.

    I'll take you at your word, whatever you were thinking. I missed a digit in the viewer numbers, so my math was off. However the .34 number demonstrates even less significance and viewer rating than 29 percent. Now with my name spelled out in the signature I would expected the mature adult you claim to be to had addressed me as such. You didn't. Likewise I don't turn the other cheek.

    Steve, I knew if I checked back in one more time I could find at least one ignorant coward. That would be you and your enormous ego that your wife has to endure... well G-d bless her. My wife is a loving person, that's why I married her, and she deserves respect. How selfish you are to only think about yourself and that keyboard you worship. Boy! You do have a lot to learn about relationships. BTW you can worry about my testicles when choking on my sett. I know that family and marriage apparently means less to you than the internet and having a life, but not so for me. After six plus months plus bantering politics, the election day is here. Give your ego some fresh air and prepare to love the black man that's going to be your president. ;) :)

    Ignorant coward? Family means less? Sorry I haven't been the good little conservative that takes his beatings, tucks his tail between his legs and runs but it's not my style. Take this on your way out, I'm the one that tried to restore civility to our discussions but as long you act like an a$$ you shouldn't be surprised if that's how you're treated.

    You mean you lost control. Big difference! You forget that I know how you and others acted before I decided to get involve on the political board scene. After watching the Pub free-for-all constantly bashing anyone that opposed Dubya, I decided to see if you could take it, as well as dish it out. I found out you couldn't. Your ego swelled immensely and you became a psychologically scorned bully. Prepare to love the black man. ;)

    C'mon Steve and Bobby. You're both better MEN than this.
    Although I agree with Bobby's views more so than Steve I think both of you deserve a little more respect from one another.

    Although it does make for a good read.

    OK Bobby, last thoughts here and you can take it how you want. As a Christian I should know better than to respond as you have with insults, but I'm not hardwired that way. I'm not everything I should be, I get pissed when people I respected turn on me, I especially have zero tolerance for people that self-righteously, hypocritically and intolerantly criticize others, turn the other cheek is not my first reaction. But I acknowledge I'm human, I make mistakes, and I do feel bad after I've responded in like manner to someone that's insulted me. You tell everyone it's ego, but to admit my failings, to admit I'm not an expert and didn't finish high school is a sign of humility, not ego.

    You're a good man, Bobby, but somewhere down the line during this election cycle that good man got lost. I hope you find him again. In spite of everything I wish you and your family well... but I will not learn to love Obama unless he learns to love the unborn child.

    I want get into your Christian beliefs or personal perimeters. We all choose our actions and you either choose to love, or hate. However I do know many people that have voted solely based on the abortion issue. Some would say the same for many unnecessary deaths in the Iraqi War. However, as far as I know, though I'm not privileged to Barack's private family information, Michelle Obama has carried all her children to term. I'm pro-choice, yet my wife has never had an abortion and she wouldn't unless she was raped or her own life was in jeopardy, heaven forbid.

    Barack Obama has won the election, as expected. He'll have four years to try and unravel the past eight years of failures. If he can't undo at least some of the damage, I'll be voting him out. It's that simple. However I'm going to embrace Barack Obama's presidency in a positive manner. He's had to overcome a lot of haters during this election and I admire his strength and determination. Congratulations to Barack Obama our first African-American to become President of the United States. :)

    There won't be much uniting I'm afraid, in fact, his election will do more to divide this once great nation than any other president in our history.

    I truly feel sorry for everyone who was fooled and swindled by his false promises.

    Of course, the first thing we all have to deal with is the largest tax increase in the history of our country when he allows the Bush tax cuts to expire.

    Oh, you didn't realize that everyone's taxes will go up, without him even having to raise them, yeah, he kind of left that part out of all his fancy words and promises, didn't he?

    I guess none of you pay much attention to all the previous candidates who promised not to raise taxes either. History has proven over and over again that this always happens, and not just to democrats either. The most recent examples are Clinton and Bush Sr.
    Both promised not to raise taxes to get elected, and then of course, broke this promise fairly quickly once they got into office.

    I'll be interested to see the comments from all of you Obama supporters in say, the next 6 to 12 months, when reality has replaced all of his empty words of hope and change.

    Oh yeah, we're in for some changes all right.

    There are always those that wish for divisions to exist. It gives them a certain comfort.

    Hey ex,

    I was never a strong supporter of the "Dufus in chief" and will freely admit that he was
    Not a true conservative, especially when it came to spending, but, it's time to quit talking about what might have been, and to focus on what lies ahead.

    It would seem at this point, that the stock market has not been very impressed with the results of this election, clearly those that invest in our system don't hold much of a positive attitude towards the future with our newly elected President.

    I also found it interesting that in 30 years, the president of Iran has NEVER congratulated ANY of our newly elected presidents.

    That all changed when Obama won, yes, the enemies of the United States are just as happy with him as all of his US supporters.

    That should scare the hell out of any American citizen.

    Watch out, change IS coming to America.

    I am protecting my family against the enemies of the US who have befriended BO.

    Not only has our stock market dropped in the two days, or has it been three now? My days run together now that I work nights, but our unemployment rate has hit highs.
