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.

I have openly mocked Nobama in front of some people at work that I KNOW voted for them...said the exact same thing you did. He’ll NEVER be my President etc.
They were stunned, couldn’t even come up with a blubbering “Well BUSH ... blah, blah, blah...”
I despise Fauxbama and all who support him...even those so called smart people I work with...they all can go blagojevich themselves...
Ping.
Hey, the clown show has already started. He already has a handful of scandals popping up and he has yet to be sworn into office.
That poser will never be my president. I hope he fails in everything he does and wish him the worst. I despise tht blue lipped, big earred stuttering mole.
It’s only eight years....
...and awaaaaaaay we go!
*That’s how you shut a liberal up*
I didn’t think that was possible!!
The problem is the “people” didn’t figure this out, but rather that Obama ran on this platform.
I say he doesn’t follow through on it though. He seems more the type to consolidate his power and keep us peons living at a lower quality of life than we know today.
And that’s about all it will take to destroy this nation....
EXACTLY, they can’t stand it if we don’t show any respect for Obama, but then they can turn around and show NO respect to Bush, so a little taste of their own medicine they can’t stand. I am gonna enjoy dissing everything Obama does, its gonna feel great giving the libs back everything that they deserve
The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate; — The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;The votes may have been cast, but they will not be tallied until early January. And maybe then, the President of the Senate will reject votes cast for those who are not natural born citizens. Presently, Obama is not the President-elect.

When The Left apologizes or is punished for eight years of slander, libel and sedition, THEN I’ll think about stopping personal attacks about The Obama, The Messiah, The One (piss be upon him).
If God were interested in saving our republic the nitwits in America would have voted for the conservative. Oh wait, no conservative ran, but they are telling us conservatism lost. end sarcasm
God is not interested IMHO of saving our republic.
I forget who said it but it applies, “The people get the leader they deserve”.
We deserve BHO, we have neglected our duties of watching over our freedoms for far too many years.
We are unwilling to apply force if need be to preserve our freedom.
Even now, Wisslia Baptist Church is in ruins, burned, gasoline poured around the OUTSIDE of the building, including the exits while people were inside.
And where is the rage? Where is the anger?
We don’t care. We don’t deserve our freedom if we are unwilling to do anything to preserve it.
And our leaders, our talk show hosts, silent on the biggest constituional issue in the history of the republic.
And nothing! It appears that republican leaders and the talking heading are working in concert to shut down the COLB issue.
Heck, I’ll give Obambi 10% more respect than the Dems gave President Bush, and I won’t trash our country our troops because he is the CIC either.
I recall the words of Hillary Clinton- Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. Let’s all be very patriotic.
You've got that right. A couple of million fraudulent votes, along with an inept Republican candidate (and yes, McCain is/was inept) and we've got ourselves our first communist President.
Our job is simple - ruin him so that no commie ever dare run again.
If skin color was the qualifier then everyone with a dog in this hunt would have won with a Keyes pick...
FOUR....or possibly less
