Carmel - I’m the old “Carol J” - can’t see the people that well, but hearing them just so tickled me. It’s like, “We’ve made it - the plane miraculously glided our people down, and today’s Obama Express rolled into DC, and the new technology to use our TVs for the web, music, et al - what an awesome, significant day! That “kitty” is “Snickers.” I had to adopt him out (waaa waaa) back in January when they thought a sudden respiratory crisis was asthma, so I had to ‘shed’ him, and my canine, Bailey — darn it. It wasn’t an allergy! I’m on a ventilator now (late-effects of polio). Now, I’m lost without them but “put the word out to the universe … ” There will be a canine or feline, or both, who find me. Enjoy the week end … we worked so hard for this, and our people deserve the best, now.

Happy Obama Year, Carmel! Our 8-year National Nightmare is Over! And we have elected a smart person of integrity and vision! We actually have a chance to lick this economic crisis and regain our moral center!

I disagree. I don’t think Hillary will ever be president now. Yes, I have always been against Obama. Still too green. His most recent decisions continue to prove so. (botched bailout) I would’ve voted for him in 8 years after he got real experience beyond campaigning about how great he is, aided by speeches written by that man. I do however believe it is a sexual assault. Imagine if that photo was of your mother and not Hillary Clinton and then tell me the president elect should’ve casually dismissed it and happily promoted the man who did such things to head speechwriter in the West Wing, as his operatives purged the Internet of the evidence. You have to get to page 35 on Google now before it shows up. Brooklyn, I am thrilled Dems are back in power again, however it is bittersweet that these things are left unanswered. It’s exactly the way the Republican administration managed things for the last 8 years. I worry that so many Dem voters don’t hold the leadership to a higher standard.
