Much love to my boy Philly D for this little gem.

This is the best little cartoon I’ve seen about the new Obama administration yet. We’ve got all your favorite characters in here… Hillary, Holder, Biden, Emmanuel, Geitner – take your pick.

So, after you take a look at this, let me know if it restores your faith in government and Wall Street!

Today The United States of America took a profound step forward. I don’t believe that any of us can yet comprehend the gravity of the day, but I am certain that we witnessed an event that will be forever etched in history. We, the people, freely elected Barack Hussein Obama as our leader, and today he took control of the most powerful and prosperous nation, perhaps ever, on the planet.

The video below captured this historic event, including both the presidential inauguration and President Obama’s address to the nation. If you were unable to see it previously I suggest taking a look at it now. President Obama’s address was meant not only for the citizens of the United States, but for the people of the world.

What is up with all of the wackos when it comes to President Elect Obama?

• Verizon Employees busted spying on Obama cell records
• Uproar in Maine over Obama assassination sign
• SC priest: No communion for Obama supporters
• Election spurs ‘hundreds’ of race threats, crimes
• Sowell compared Obama to Hitler, Mao, other dictators, and Jim Jones

This is not the way to treat the President of the United States you retards.

Here we are on the eve before we discover who will become the next President of the United States. Already it is set to be a historic election.

• We will either have the first African-American as Commander in Chief, or the oldest ever President and the first woman in an Executive office.
• We will see record voter turn out all over the US (California, Nevada, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Louisiana, Minnesota and more…)
• We’ve been on the election trail for nearly two years… the longest and costliest campaign in US history.
• The next President follows Bush’s historically low approval ratings and many difficult challenges.

But what happens after tomorrow?

One of the guys at work, Ryan Main, carved this pumpkin. Enjoy

Apparently there is a whole trend of Obama pumpkin carving going on and its all cataloged over at YesWeCarve.com!

This video was independently produced by MC YOGI (aka Nicholas Giacomini). Some of you probably saw it featured on my sidebar last week. I took it down, but wanted to catalog it in the blog in case I ever wanted to find it again.

I put this up having nothing to do with the fact that it’s an Obama campaign video, and having everything to do with the fact that it is just a really, really well done video. I’m impressed that Giacomini put this thing together and I love the graphics, and look and feel of the video. The lyrics to the song are well done, although I’d say the part I like least is the chorus.

I’m sitting back and watching this campaign roll by and am constantly amazed by the one-sidedness of the race. Everywhere I look I see news stories and editorials ripping McPalin a new one!

Some people might suspect that it’s just “the biased liberal media”, but I’m not so sure. I remember 4 years ago when Al Gore was getting all of the heat for being a heartless, robotic, tree-hugger. In the Bush/Gore race, it seemed like there was a greater balance in the political ecosystem than there is now.

I suspect that this race has boiled down to a large number of mistakes by Senator McCain, Governor Palin, and the people actually running the campaign, and I’ve accumulated a list of thematic discussions which I believe have characterized the race and shaped the election.

Very interesting… This video (which is less than a week old and has been viewed almost 1.5 million times) was produced by a reporter for the English version of Al Jazeera, and was taken from interviews at a McCain / Palin conference in “a small town in” Ohio.

I say that right up front because some people are going to claim that this is not a reputable news source, and that perhaps this footage is even fake.

On the other hand, it seems pretty legitimate to me, and echos what I’ve been saying all along. Namely, that like it or not – Barack Obama is the next President of the United States… unless he get shot.

Wow. This is impressive no matter your political persuasion. When was the last time a politician… ANY politician… drew a crowd of over 100,000 people to hear him speak. Well, apparently it was just a few hours ago, and it was Barak Obama in St. Louis!

According to this Wall Street Journal blog:

Barack Obama attracted 100,000 people at a Saturday rally here, his biggest crowd ever at a U.S. event.

The crowd assembled under the Gateway Arch on a sunny Saturday afternoon to hear Obama speak about taxes and slam the Republicans on economic issues.

Lt. Samuel Dotson of the St. Louis Police Department confirmed the number of attendees piled into the grassy lawn by the Mississippi River.

The boys and girls over in the marketing department at 7-Eleven have been working overtime and came up with an absolutely awesome election gimmick. You can stop by the convenience store and pick up your coffee in the morning, and when you do, just fill er’ up in either an Obama or a McCain cup to cast your vote!

I found this out this weekend when I was forced to make an emergency pit-stop at 7-Eleven for a large cherry Slurpee. And by forced I mean I was compelled. And by compelled I mean it was necessary. Ok already… I just wanted one!

Anyway, as I was walking in, I noticed this sign hanging in the window and snapped it for all of you, my dear readers.

So, for all of those who have voted with their coffee selection, the following are the results of the Coffee Poll up to this point in time. Keep in mind that this may not be the most scientific methodology available. It’s possible that Obama supporters just happen to frequent 7-Eleven’s more than McCain supporters. Perhaps they are all at Starbucks?

Head on over to 7-Election.com for the latest results.

My step mom sent this little gem over. It’s a fantastic cartoon from Jib Jab (the folks who put together the John P. and Snoop Dog video) that pretty much sums up the whole election process.

We’ve got all our favorite characters here… George W., John McCain, Barack Obama, Hillary, and the rest of the Capital Hill gang. But don’t worry. It’s not political commentary. Everyone gets roasted equally!

Enjoy!

Since we’re in the process of selecting not only the new leaders of the United States, but also the new leaders of the Free World, I wanted to do a little research on their educational backgrounds. Personally I view wisdom as an important trait in a leader, and there can be no wisdom without knowledge. It also seems to me that humans have basically always universally held this belief, as we even see evidence dating back to Plato’s Republic in which the Guardians of the state required strict educational training.

I then decided that we should include the Vice Presidential candidates in the research because, after all, they are next in line for succession to the Presidency in case something terrible happens. On top of that, the Vice President of the United States is also the President of the US Senate. So, they’ve got one hell of an important job either way.
