Obama has been re-elected! Very happy to give one of the best orators of our generation another four years to help the US get back to becoming a world leader rather than just a world power!
Obama-o-rama!

Why not everyone is excited about universal healthcare
Doesn’t matter if its not true … it’s my point of view and I’m sticking to it
Politicians are well known for their strong opinions and moral fibre. Oh wait, that’s not quite correct … politicians are known for taking a position which serves them well and flogging it. Yes, that sounds better.
Friday’s “The Barrel” from Platts contributed on article titled: Regardless, House Republicans stick to their story. It illustrates how an MIT report (seen as a left-leaning educational source) was used by the Republicans to flog Cap-and-Trade as overly expensive to consumers. When the author of the article pointed out that they had come to a conclusion that was exponentially off the mark they decided to … ignore the criticism and keep flogging the message.
It sure would be nice if this kind of behaviour was laughed out of existence but I’m afraid this is just politics-as-usual.
The Borowitz Report
While surfing facebook I found a post my friend Jonathan had made from the Borowitz Report. Have you read this before? It looks great. Take a look at this article as a starter:
Enough about fucking light bulbs already
From John Green on ecogeek:
We’re also getting a glimpse into how President Elect Obama (!!!!!!) really thinks we’re going to address the global environmental crisis. Newsweek reports that Obama was caught by a live mic saying about the debates, "I often find myself trapped by the questions and thinking to myself, ‘You know, this is a stupid question, but let me … answer it.’ So when Brian Williams is asking me about what’s a personal thing that you’ve done [that's green], and I say, you know, ‘Well, I planted a bunch of trees.’ And he says, ‘I’m talking about personal.’ What I’m thinking in my head is, ‘Well, the truth is, Brian, we can’t solve global warming because I f—ing changed light bulbs in my house. It’s because of something collective’."
You tell ‘em Obama!
Presidential
Tell me this guy doesn’t look presidential. It may be 4 days later but I’m still just as happy (and proud). Click on either image for more pictures.
Wassup in 2008
Remember the “wassup” commercials from Anheiser-Bush? Here’s a funny rendition of what that might have looked like if it had been filmed in 2008.
What if the world could vote?
Wouldn’t seem too patriotic if the US just decided to open up voting to the entire world but in an attempt to understand what would have happened in the recent US election a website setup a public voting forum for the world. Roughly 200,000 people voted and the results are in …Obama in a landslide (87.3%). Take a look:
Colin Powell gives the nod to Obama
Worth a look. You go General Powell!
A special thanks to Mike Ditka
Many of you know the fabled Chicago Bears coach as a formidable sportsman and television personality but did you know that he could have potentially eliminated Barach Obama’s political campaign?!? True. At least there’s a small element of truth to it. Read more here:
