It's official: Barack Obama elected 44th president 3 hours ago
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Presidential electors have formally elected Barack Obama the nation's 44th president.
Electors gathering in state capitols across the country have pushed Obama above the 270 electoral votes needed to win, according to a tally by The Associated Press. Obama takes office Jan. 20, becoming the nation's first black president.
Monday's voting was a largely ceremonial procedure, but one mandated by the Constitution. Obama defeated Republican Sen. John McCain in the Nov. 4 election.
More than 131 million voters cast ballots — the most ever in a presidential election. But Obama's election will not be complete until Congress tallies the outcome of Monday's Electoral College vote at a joint session scheduled for Jan. 6.

No, I feel the same.
Well what of this? How long has this been around?

John Linder (R - GA), via email, wrote:
“On January 8, 2009, both the U.S. Senate and House shall meet for the purpose of counting and certifying the electoral votes. After the vote has been counted, the President of the Senate shall call for objections. It is at this time that Federal officials in both the House and Senate may object to the certification of President-elect Obama by alleging that he fails to meet the Constitutional requirements to serve as President of the United States. Please be assured that I will continue to monitor this issue very carefully, and I will act when appropriate and necessary.”
Is this our last best hope?

Thank you! And my tagline. Pray for him.
Since when do we listed to that old-fashioned, boring thing?
You know, on one hand, I look forward to each and every blunder this creep makes! But on the other hand, I KNOW that no Republican is going to clean up after all of these jerk-offs! That’s what enrages me! Hell, we haven’t even cleaned up after all the other crap the demonrats have created!! NOTHING will be undone!! I said my goodbyes to America on election night. The country before me now is something else and I have to learn how to survive in it.
>>I feel like something terrible is going to happen next year either involving Obama, or his lack of skill/sense/abilities.<<
I think all of us do.
But Our Lord said not to worry, so don’t.
I bought 20 Silver American Eagles today, getting extra rice and lots of tuna. And some ammo,
Don’t panic, prepare.
>>I remember calls for Clinton’s impeachment beginning before he took office. <<
Can you give a reference for that, cause I don’t.
Not that I don’t believe you, just want a reference.
I bought my first gun over the weekend and have started to stock pile. I feel like I am a loony bin for doing this, but I have read many economists and they all say we are in for a world of hurt - the likes we cannot comprehend.
Does anyone else feel with on the brink of complete collapse?
Don’t panic, prepare.
Seriously. The world is going about their business. Laughing, joking, watching tv.
We see and are preparing. With enough ammo, food and water, we can make it through.
Bing. Leave the cities. They are the source and target of this...focus of...change.
I am doing all I can do to prepare though, thanks.
And go to Texas! ;)
“”merican won’t last 8 years under Zero’s rule. It won’t last 4. Thank God for the Phoenix effect.”
What do you mean by the Phoenix effect?
“I have told everyone that I know that I will treat Obama with the same respect that the Democrats gave to President George W. Bush. That’s how you shut a liberal up”
I will NEVER accept him as my President. And from me he gets MUCH less respect than the DEMS gave President Bush.
>>I am doing all I can do to prepare though, thanks.<<
Atta girl. We are much more afraid of the unknown than we are of the actual events. We see chaos on the horizon and when we look around, it’s like no one else sees it’s there. So are we nuts? NO. We see the signs.
Now I’m buying silver coins. If the ‘s’ hits the fan, they buy my kids food. If not, maybe some books in college.
I’m stocking up on rice, no one really likes. If the ‘s’ hits the fan, we eat. If not, the poor people get it.
And that ammo....it doesn’t go bad either!
Acts 2:17
'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on everyone. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.'
At least 50 million of us are preparing.
“Obama’s election will not be complete until Congress tallies the outcome of Monday’s Electoral College vote at a joint session scheduled for Jan. 6.”
“And he produces a valid birth certificate.”
The counting and certifying the total of the Electoral College votes is done in Congress with VP Cheney presiding on January 8th, NOT January 6th.
You hit the nail on the head! I feel that not enough people are seeing what I and my family see in the very near future. I don't understand the apathy? Plus, it is like many people have been brainwashed since the election.
People who were staunch Republicans voted for Obama??? Or, I know of a couple family members who didn't vote for him, but now feel that it was the right turn of events, blah, blah, blah. I know they are in denial and are trying to comfort themselves by believing all will be fine, but gosh, I think they are in for a heck of a time.
Do you really think the morons at AP have the ability to actually read the constitution? They are idiots. Check the average GPA of journalism students. Barely higher than the education majors and that ain’t saying much. These are not smart people. They are easily manipulated tools of the left.
Talk to reporters. Get to know them. They are morons.
