WASHINGTON (AP) - Barack Obama is officially the next president of the United States, Congress declared Thursday in fulfilling its centuries-old constitutional duty to certify and tally the electoral college vote from each state. Republicans joined Democrats in a standing ovation as Vice President Dick Cheney, in his role as speaker of the Senate, announced from the podium that Obama had achieved a majority of votes and would be the 44th president on Jan. 20.

NOW he is the President-elect and Biden is the Veep-elect. Heaven help us if the "natural born" challenge is heard and wins. How would President Biden grab you? How about President Pelosi if Joe chooses / is forced to choose her for Veep?
Elections matter. Damnation and hellfire on all conservatives who sat this one out.

That’s Barack Hussein Obama. Thanks Dems.

Gore disallowed objections from fellow Democrats who asserted that Bush had unfairly won Florida and tried to block Florida's electoral votes from being counted. (2001)No objections this time by anyone because Obama has failed to prove he is qualified?

Either Cheney is a traitor for not insisting on Constitutional qualifications, or, Cheney is a patriot for allowing certification so we finally have legitimate grounds to challenge. Watch the SCOTUS tomorrow but don’t expect relief.

Oh well, we should have one flim-flam time after another with our new, Opresident. The Omedia and the rest of our enemies must be thrilled. They can taste the change.
