Can anyone imagine what our founding fathers would have thought if only they had the opportunity to be eyewitnesses to an event that will go down as probably one of the most pivotal in all of history, wish I could be there.
Let me post a follow up to my previous comment..
It will be one of the most pivotal events in American history, not all of history. That is a sure sign of stereotypical American arrogance right there.
Surely you wouldn't say that the election of Obama compares to or surpasses the events that transpired at Yorktown, Gettysburg, or on D-Day?
Once again, can we please try and dispel at least one of the American stereotypes?

To all those naysayers who still have their heads stuck firmly in the sand, open your eyes....I think this is a history shaping event & my post simply expressed that...Time will tell though, that's for sure.
I hope your happy. We'll see, a couple of years down the road, but as of right now, it doesn't look too good for America, home of the brave, land of the free. You can kiss that freedom goodbye.
I am very happy along with some 66/67 other million Proud Americans that made this 'change' reality....Thanks for pointing that out...
The reason I can't wait is because of the damage the current president is trying to do before Obama takes office. I hope he doesn't decide to bomb Iran on Jan 10. Maybe he'll just declare Martial Law on Jan 19.
Yes indeed. History in the making.
Our first 'black' (what ever that means) president.
Our first Marxist president.
Our first Muslim president.
....I would love to hear what the founding fathers would have said about all these "wonderful" firsts.....
I love the shift to "Marxist" from "Socialist" now that George W. Bush has nationalized the finance and insurance industries and proven himself a practicing socialist.
I just wish Ronald Reagan were alive to witness his "legacy". I'm certain he'd want to buy W a cold glass of milk or something.
Keep up the creative work, HC. You're funny.
