Celebrate good times COME ON!

OK so many people have ragged on me that I was wrong about the riotous celebrations I expected to see when Barack Hussein won. Did we see mass pandemonium like I expected? No. What we did see was the poorest, most dilapidated, and most violent inner cities turn into a free for all of people hooting and hollering, crowding streets, and all in all turning the the most important day in American politics into a world series championship party. I'll take that over riots any day and here it is... I was wrong.
In my search for various "Unity and Change" style... events that took place that night, I really wanted to get to the meat of the experience. Being that I myself did not partake in the revelry I must rely on first hand accounts and video testimony. Therefor, I have compiled a very small selection of celebration footage for you to enjoy. I will bring to your attention any special quotes or events of note... free of charge.

OK this is in LA on the infamous Crenshaw Blvd.

Q: Do you feel now the change now between the blacks, the whites, the Hispanics, and everyone?"
A: I feel, I feel it's gonna come right. It's gonna come right. We got a black president so it's gonna come right.
Wow, just like that. Racial equality in America and the end to bigotry. Man, Obama is special.


Q: "Why did you vote for Obama? Give me a concise, a lot of people say 'it's because he's black', why did you vote for Obama?"
A: "I voted for Obama because it's time for a change. The Republicans ain't doing nothin' (unintelligible gibberish) time for them to get up in here so, it's time for a change. Barack Obama '08"
Indeed. Change huh? Concise enough for you?

Q: "How do you feel about Obama?"
A: "Oh I love Obama! I love him! (Unintelligible gibberish) He gonna save us he gonna save us that's a(and it sounds here like she says "a black thing") but I wouldn't want to put words into her mouth.

Q: "Now you voted for him... why did you vote?"
A: "I voted for him because, I know it's, I voted for him was so how much the country has matured. It's not even about him just being black, it's just the point that our country has left everything in the past (agreed) all the negativity the whole black thing is out. It's basically change, that's all we need it change. That's what it is."
Again change. Any specifics or... perhaps a plan or some sort of insight as to which of his changed up policies you really liked or was it just sort of change in general?

Now if I'm not mistaken the narrator here calls Michelle Obama the Vice President at 3:33... I could be off.

When speaking to a man who said it was his first time voting the narrator asks;
Q: "What made you vote besides him being a black man?"
A: I'm a black man I think we've been in this economy so long man I think it's time for a change."
Again that word... hell if I had known it would have been so easy to get elected on a word and no plan I would have run for senate by now. Do any one of these people have a clue as to what he wants to do beyond the word "change"?

Here is a very special quote that I feel we all must hear and let soak in for a while to get the full effect...
"As you see Obama has changed a lot for futures. Even, we heard, drug addicts that never voted, voted from rehab. We heard alcoholics that never voted, voted."
Take it in. Allow the words to fill you. I'll give you a second. Breathe in through the nose... out through the mouth. Is it soaked in? Good.

Q: "Ma'am, how do you feel?"
A" "OBAMA!!!!!!!"
Not exactly an answer but OK.

Q: "Obama said that he's having McCain help him get America back together. How do you feel about that?"
A" "I feel that Obama has it all in his orchestra so he don't need McCain because McCain is old and he's sick and he don't need his help. Obama got it. It's all in his plan."
All in his plan? And people get offended when I call him the "Savior" and talk about his election as the second coming. It's all in Obama's plan. He don't need no McCain.

Now if you want people to take your candidate seriously, you need to be interviewing more people like the guy at 13:56.

Q: "Obama won how do you feel?"
A" "Blessed. Blessed. Democracy worked. I made my vote count. God is good."
That pretty much sums up the way America works. One group on election day feels blessed, one feels damned, but we are all proud that we live in a Democracy (A Republic really but I won't split hairs here) and that our votes count. No talk of an ethereal concept of change, just thankfulness for the process that we have in America. The girl on right after at 14:03 has it too.
"I think this is an amazing opportunity... It's not just about (him being black). It's about health care, it's about war in Iraq, it's about all these issues that, he just so happens to be black. That's the icing on the cake if you will." While I think his health care stance and Iraq ideas are devastating to America at least she mentions them. Honestly I doubt she really knows much about them but at least she shows the wherewithal to mention them.

"I feel excellent, I know that this is an achievement not just for Barack Obama but for black people!... Because unless black people struggle we will not have the kind of society he has promised us."
First off so much for this not being a race thing. Nearly everybody interviewed mentioned race but we already knew it was a huge race deal. Secondly, did I miss something? The society he promised us? I'm I guess extrapolating that by "us" she means black people because that is who she was previously talking about but I don't recall Obama saying anything officially about promising "black society" anything.

Now from 14:58 to 17:45 there are some pretty good, solid interviews. Many people with some well thought out ideas. A couple with just "Change" but on the whole that bit is alright. Watch it. You'll like it.

However they end it with

Q: "Why did you personally vote for Obama, besides him being black?" Nice
A: "Because he got a plan and because he's for the youth."
Narrator: "You heard it right here. Obama has a plan and he's here for the youth." Wow, that's overwhelming.

Q: "What made you actually vote?"
A: "'Cuz I wanted change."

Q: "The reason that you voted for Barack Obama was it for a change or was because he's a black man?" Solid journalism there by the way.
A: "It was for a change." Well, you had a 50/50 chance on that one.



WE WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP! WE WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!! I mean presidency.

My favorite part of this is the song you hear towards the end. For clarification I have added a link to the lyrics. http://www.metrolyrics.com/my-president-lyrics-young-jeezy.html This, by the way, is being hailed as "The New Nation anthem." Nice.

And here's another song in support of Mr. Obama

And just so you know I'm making a statement about Obama supporters in general, not based on any one color, here is a nice Mardi Gras/ running of the bulls style celebration in Chicago. Not even when Slick Willy was elected did we have stuff like this. The guy filming this was sure to focus in on the one or two American flags seen at this presidential election party. The Star Spangled Banner was a nice touch. I wonder when the last time any of them sang that particular song before this? Nice how patriotism comes out only when they win. And I can't tell for sure but it looks like they put a picture of Barack's face on a statue of Jesus... How appropriate.

I guess all in all I have the sinking feeling that the entire country is going to look like this under him. The same way Bill Clinton turned the White House into a double wide, Barack Obama will turn it into some block party and I think the lemmings that put on these little shows will carry it over into their daily lives. All we can hope for is that the presidential handlers get a hold of him before he can do too much damage. If they do and Mr. Obama acts just like every other president then there are going to be a LOT of pissed off idiots who believed him when he said he was going to do all this amazing stuff. If he does follow through with what he promised then we are pretty much done as a country anyway so all this is academic. Either way he'll get re-elected because even if he fails miserably, which my money says he will, he has already set the stage as to why he will fail miserably and will convince people that even with the house and senate in his pocket, he will require another four years to make America a proper haven for the lazy and the the stupid. God bless America
