Speakeasy forum: The unbelievable has happened.

It was at the very beginning of coverage, he'd gotten up to walk over to a map as he was talking about "electing a new president". It was the one funny thing that made me laugh last night. Nobody there seemingly caught it, nor did he.

Don't you think Obama sometimes sounded as though he was running for the first time?...and still against Bush? Other than bailing out GM and dispatching Bin Ladin, there wasn't a significant promise he kept.

You don't need to face the unenviable task of cleaning up Mr. President's mess.

He fought for it, he succeeded. That's worth a congratulation.
Where's your sense of humor for the second post?

Luckily, that's not allowed by the American Constitution. You can only be elected as a President twice. So it must be a new Democrat candidate against a new or old Republican one.
From what I read, both have good fresh potential candidates.

and Romney's concession speech...at least what was offered in the media this AM. I thought Mr. Romney's speech showed what a class act he can be. Did you by chance catch it? I can't possible top Romney's congratulatory words or add to them so I kept it simple. You're welcome to criticize my NT post if you wish.

to criticize. That seems to make you happy. Is there anything else about this morning that makes you happy besides showing contempt for Romney and criticizing what others say? You don't need to answer that. It's meant rhetorically.

I think we'd agree that congratulations are due to winners but the losers?...should we be consoling or should we taunt them? I say we try to say nice things either way. The two sides need to get along or no one goes anywhere.

They're not as loud but that's to be expected. What am I missing?

......"Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward."

We're always looking to make what's essentially good even better and/or make adjustments to go along with changing times. That's why we have the ability to amend the Constitution. I didn't see anything wrong with the line.

....is white. All of them. Contrast that with Obama's crowd.

When I looked again, it was clear that folks were behind Obama of mixed race. Romney showed no background audience. The shots of the foreground audience in the Romney video had people farther away and distinguishing racial makeup wasn't something I could do. As well as African-Americans, I also didn't see anyone who was obviously Lithuanian or Bulgarian. Josh...just what are you trying to say? Are you playing some kind of race card here? If so, who would be the racists? If whites don't show up to watch an African-American gospel sing, we might say the white's were the racists. If African-Americans didn't show for Romney, wouldn't the same logic follow?...that they are the racists? I think you've got some splainin' to do here, Josh. What's your point and purpose?

I do have a life, you know.

I think the difference in racial makeup of the two crowds speaks for itself. So does the 0% of the black vote that Romney got.

get the truth out of a Liberal since they are blinded by their own bigotry. Their mirror on the wall lies to them every day.
