I’m proud of my home state of Oklahoma. Not a single county went for 0.

And OK has the highest percentage voting Republican as well 66%. You have a right to be proud.

Any power plants in the state? I'd love to move there. Your election results along with anti-illegal immigration laws shows OK to be the last bastion of what the U.S. used to be about.

Why would we want Obama to succeed? So that Democrats can dominate as they did after FDR? So that we can lose more elections and have left-wing ideology prevail? Here's my hope for Obama-that he's a one term president.—Mark

Mark...I couldn’t have said it better myself!

I’m very disturbed that we’ve managed to elect our first dyed in the wool, true-blue Marxist Socialist.

Folks can celebrate the fact that we’ve elected our first Black President, but I would have preferred someone such as Thomas Sowell.

In fact, had we elected someone such as TS, I would be raising the roof with sheer delight!

Instead, I’m in a tad bit of a panic.

I share your hope that Obama is a one term President.

"But, I’d like your take on his potential success versus conservatism."

That's a fair question and, honestly, I'm unsure as to how to answer. I am a believer in conservative ideals. I am well aware that Obama is the antithesis of everything that conservatism stands for and yet I am torn because we are stuck with at least four years of him as president. I can't bring myself to desire four years of the country falling deeper and deeper into a economic chasm.

Many, even a few Freepers, have said that the economy is cyclical and will naturally correct itself, but I can't help but be somewhat uncertain as to that outcome. I suppose if I were to try to explain my feelings, I would have to say that I hope that it is possible for him to effect a sea change in the economic picture, but fail in other areas such as the closing of Gitmo, enacting the Fairness Doctrine, expanding abortion rights, pulling out of Iraq, weakening our military, and exposing us to potential terrorist acts. Maybe I'm fantasizing that if he is completely preoccupied with getting the economy on track, he won't have time to drastically muck up other areas.

I hope the economy recovers and no Americans die at home or abroad.

But that doesn’t mean I want to HIM to succeed. I want him to go to Hell. Hell, Norway, population 352, and stay there, far away from the US.

“Obama receives the same chance Bush received.”

I agree. It has got to the point that I cannot stomach the sound of Obama’s voice. I’ve become Pavlovian in that sense. The next two days will be interminable, and I fear for the USA over the next 4 years. The left truly could have sown the seeds for the second armed insurrection.

I'm seriously considering moving there after my retirement. The Tulsa area, perhaps.
Right now, I'm living in La-La Land (aka California), though the weather here is pretty spectacular, I must admit...

Thanks for the correction...I didn’t think Rush would want something like that.

I can’t believe how many times I had to read your post to see my error. LOL

I actually had to get away for a few minutes before I could properly read what I had written. Scary.

I’m looking at Alabama......and I can see why we are part of the ‘black belt’. ;) Straight through Montgomery and B’ham.

That portion of Alabama called the black belt has nothing to do with blacks living there. It has to do with the type of dirt and earth in that area. Not that blacks live there.

Well, don’t bother to be afraid that my life is going to be one of continual disappointment. It isn’t and won’t be. I have shut it all down with TV, radio and the like. It’s all a bunch of negative talk, anger, bitterness and the like. I am living my life with my own hopes and prayers. I don’t need to be watching TV with all those people and their own agenda...much less garbage they “report.”

I’m happy and will continue that way and as a result...I will pray for President Obama to succeed and be a good President to the whole country. That’s who I am.

I would pray for the same thing ... that any bad decisions he makes for America will fail but...I am not wishing him out and out failure.

You are nuts, then. I don’t want socialism.

Sorry you have to call me nuts but...that is your right.

Now...back on subject... I don’t want socialism either. I want a President who will do what is right for this country. I am hoping and praying President Elect Obama since he was elected WILL be able to do that for all of us.
