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.

He is not my president until he demonstrates his eligibility. Until then, he is a fraud.

Not that I think it will happen, but can’t a member of Congress still “object”?

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

You need a Senator and a Congressman from the new Congress and then they will vote on the matter. No way in hell it is overturned.

Well now I really have a better idea of how nauseous libs were feeling in 2000..... I’ll try not to become as unhinged as so many of them, but I simply cannot believe what is happening to our country, how we got stuck with this lightweight socialist poseur with no real accomplishments in public life, etc.

I’ll treat him like the marxist he is, regardless. But I will not acknowledge his existence as POTUS unless he proves he is eligible.

And he produces a valid birth certificate.

First black president - his only “qualification” is his skin color.
