Trying to look at the glass as not being completely empty.

I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords...

(As an aside, the page that hosts this photograph is probably getting a heck of a lot of hits today, so don't blame me when their bandwith is exceeded!)

The appropriate term:

“Anticippointment” - building up expectations to a level that will inevitably lead to disappointment.

Unfortunately, liberals aren’t smart enough to realize that they’ve been duped.

Obama has been getting by on the arrogance of inexperience. He’s never done anything so he’s never felt the sting of failure. Now he’s reached a point where the only things left to him are success or failure and he’s promised the impossible.

At least they don’t have 60 seats in the senate. THAT would have been the end of America!

I've already told several "be careful what you wish for, it might come true". I'm just trying to guess when the bloom will be off the rose - 2 months? 6 months?

In the meantime, 0bama is going to make my house payment and car payment! I don't even know why I bother with a job!

"The first time he tries to walk on water and sinks to his knees they’ll turn on him like wolves."

Dream on, brother. Two little words will keep him afloat: fairness doctrine. Any potential "wolves" will be handled by his national civilian security corps. You are correct. The glass is not completely empty yet. However, when his security corps goes active, you may have to make some very hard decisions.

Warren Buffet and Bill Gates alone can distribute enough for the big screens and Oreo's everyone needs.

I want to know what bargain Hillary made with the devil. Will Zero renege on THAT?

I kind of feel like America has voted for a candidate that they didn’t “date” for long enough before marrying him. I foresee the honeymoon being very short, and one morning they will wake up and think, what in the heck did I do?

Hey, NJ from a fellow NJer - you hit the nail on the head.

There are millions like that women in Florida who truly believe they will no longer have to pay for gas for their cars or pay their mortgage. They have rising expectations, and a day of reckoning will arrive when they realize that their messiah (I use a lower case letter out of deference to the true one)has not delivered. I think there is a case to be made that in one or two summers hence, there will be disturbances in our urban areas that will make the riots of 64 look like Cinderella’s ball.

The glass isn’t empty. It’s our next President that is.

Here is one of the comments from the blog:

Sore loser, you should have listened to McCain's gracious words about Obama and the way he calmed the angry crowd at his concession speech instead of getting your panties in a bunch yourself. Live with the new reality that your 'conservative' ideas have failed miserably, proving them invalid. The GOP always runs a bigger bloated government and runs our economy into the ground with voodoo economics producing heavy deficits. They only SAY they want a smaller government and 'opportunity for all' as code words for tax cuts for the rich, but the amazing thing is that there are so many people lame enough to buy it. Again and again and again, hell there are still Nixon supporters voting Republican. It's almost enough to make you lose your faith in humanity, except when you see that the majority does get it eventually, look today we just elected Obama and we start a new day tomorrow in a climate of hope and change instead of hate and fear. That is the kind of world I want to live in and finally I can feel proud to be an American again after watching my country be sullied from within by war and torture and spying and lying and all the other crimes, real crimes, of the Bush administration. I want to see my country regain its morality and reject the Taliban-like thinking that comes from the right about how we should suffer for religious ideological reasons (i.e. embryo research, abortion). And I have a good feeling that Obama is going to deliver. McCain would have just been more hate and fear.

This is what passes for logic and reason on the left. This is going to be a very long four years...
