Obama's victory : Silence around you (testimonies)
November 06, 2008 | Robin Masters

Posted on 11/06/2008 5:55:13 AM PST by RobinMasters

In this thread (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2126850/posts?page=13) some people shared their experiences about what they saw after the Election.

Carley said : "You could see shock and awe on the faces of most people yesterday. The commuter train in NJ was filled with silent people, black and white, wondering just what they hell they had done.

The trip was eerily silent when it’s usually filled with people chatting away."

or jnygrl : "My husband takes NJ Transit. He said his train was silent yesterday until it stopped at Newark."

Please, feel free to share what you've experienced around you. It would be useful for some FReepers or others.

I hearing a lot of Obama supporters talking about "working with Republicans".

I hope the Republicans tell them where to go.

IMO, everything bad that happens for the next 4 years is Obama's fault. He stole the election. A village in Illinois is missing an idiot. De-legitimize him the way they de-legitimized Bush.

>>>>I hearing a lot of Obama supporters talking about “working with Republicans”. It’s almost as if they are afraid to lead.<<<<<

And it’s becoming a mantra among the Obamites that *all* of us “come together and support Barack”.

I suppose I might were he not a Marxist.

Yesterday I went to the barbershop and waited with two elderly dudes. Both shook their heads over the Øbama victory stating they voted for McCain without any prompting from me. The oldest one said the black vote won him the election... obviously not realizing that blacks are only 12% of the population. The younger looking one said “Øbama's done for...”. When I asked him what he meant, he said “There's a lot of crazy white people out there.”

I thought to myself... “Yeah, and they all voted for him!”

I was Steelhead fishing 300+ miles away on election day.

On the way home yesterday, I made 3 stretch the old leg stops and didn’t hear a single comment about the election.

My wife did a lot of shopping yesterday morning preparing for a party this weekend.

She commented that she didn’t hear a single word about the election and 0$pendA being elected.

Last night, we went out for a quick dinner with one our sons in a busy family type restaurant. Noone was talking about the election even prop 8.

i park in the District building garage, i think many of them stayed home after being up late celebrating, so that might have been part of it. my husband took my daughter to the orthodontist in Falls Churcha after school yesterday. the receptionist we know to be a lib. i would have sat in the car to avoid her attempt to engage me about the election, he did not and she ended up provoking him into a diatribe. LOL! the waiting area and both orthodontists got an earful!! well she asked for it!

The faces in Tennessee are pretty glum.

The majority of those faces belonged to McCain voters, thanks be to God. I'm proud to be a Tennessean, where we finally threw the corrupt Democrats out. :-)

Who the heck voted him in besides Blacks, Hispanics, and College kids yet to see their first paycheck.

Quite a few of the deceased - please respect the dead. And please respect the Walt Disney creations who also voted. :-)

Yeah, I explained to the few I know that voted Obama, who are unemployed due to outsourcing jobs and had “hope” that Obama was going to make it all better, that the first guy Obama hired as his CHIEF OF STAFF is the inventor of NAFTA.

I have never seen a smiling face drop so fast.

I thnk that is what Nancy Pelosi means when she talks about being bipartisan-

keeping enough Republicans in Congress to “necklace” into signing bad legislation

So the democrats have plausible deniability and the other party to blame

Like they did with the bailout plan which they could have passed with their majority- but refused to do without GOP backers- who Nancy promptly threw under the bus

I was complemented on my beautiful blue eyes twice yesterday by blacks. One in line at the supermart and another at the hairdressers.

“Oh, I just love blue eyes! I always wished I had them.”

It was creepy. It was something I’d never heard before. I can’t fathom what that was about other than knowing that blue eyes have always been code word for evil white racist.

What do you think because I’m dumbfounded by it all.

There are many blacks at the place I work - I never heard one mention the election. The only jerk who did was the administrator’s husband and I couldn’t set him straight. I just started the job.

“Ummmm.. this may sound pathetic but I was soo devastated by the outcome that I actually became physically ill. I got a headache,palpitations, and felt like I had a monkey tearin’ up a straw hat in my stomach( I know TMI).”

Me too. I have never physically reacted from an election. Until Tuesday and Weds.

America is waking up with a hangover, and rolling over to see what rough stranger now shares the bed.

Send a note with him explaining Obama spent more than $10 for each & every vote he received on Tuesday - over $650,000,000 - after he broke one of the first campaign promises he made which was to accept public funding for his election. Then ask them when the media is going to dig in to the contributions to find out how much was illegal Foreign contributions and how much violated individual limits.

A friend who works at the Watergate relayed that the college kids from GW were hanging out at the mall and celebrating. But everyone over 35 seemed muted and sad.
