OFFICIAL: Barack Obama wins United States Presidency
Thoughts? I'm somewhat concerned, frankly. With this election we were either getting dog **** now or dog **** later, and I think we just got dog **** later.

One thing I will say, and this is my main concern following the major Democrat victory still ongoing: will Barack Obama rein in Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid? Those two have zero interest in working with anyone who doesn't bleed blue and they are not particularly shy about it. With a working majority will they just shove liberal bill after liberal bill down the pipeline and demand Obama sign on everything to be a good party man? Their goals are not always in line with what Obama has said, bringing the country together, reaching across the aisle, trying to get a working cross-party coalition as Reagan did, etc.
If Pelosi and Reid run amok it's going to kill any chance Obama has of endearing himself to the other side. He's going to have to compromise on certain issues to get conservatives on board, not the big ones but perhaps some smaller ones, and Pelosi in particular will not bow to anyone now that she's got all the cards.
I'm glad Obama won the presidency (I know it's not totally official yet but it's obvious anyway) but I fear what the rest of his party may have in mind. So don't pile on Jeff too much guys, he has at least a partially legitimate point. Pelosi and Reid are easily capable of blowing it in a huge way, you have to be pretty partisan to think otherwise. I'm hoping for the best.

I just hope security is hella tight on him RIGHT NOW. Mark my words: the whole state of Idaho is gonna empty the **** out once this even starts sounding official, maybe earlier.
CNN called the security at the event in Chicago "unprecedented" so it sounds at least adequate to me. I hate even talking about the possibility of someone going after him but living in the south I understand it's a morbid reality for any minority who breaks a barrier into an office previously held only by old white men. I have confidence in the secret service, they're pros and they've kept Bush out of trouble when he's gotten a ton of hate in his direction so hopefully they can keep it up.

Yep, I'm certain South Carolina will be up in arms over this, as well as a couple of other southern states. This was a big reason the rest of my family had such trouble deciding who to vote for. They didn't want someone's blood on their hands.
You're right, though. The Secret Service is just about the best damn security organization in the world. If they can't keep Obama safe, no one can.
The current card-holders in Congress do scare the ****ing **** out of me. I'm with JV on that one.
EDIT: I'm also freaking out watching his acceptance speech. It's like I'm expecting him to get his head blown off at any moment =\

This was really the first speech of Barack Obama's that I watched from start to finish. I think I came in my pants. I feel a lot better about being an American instead of feeling like a peice of ****.

They put bulletproof glass around them that the TV cameras don't pick up. All I have to say is Hell Yes, I never believed I'd see the day America stopped begin prejudiced! Here is to the future, something that was well wroth standing inline two hours for!
Hopefully we can all return to normal Water Cooler and War Room topics that are not about government again real soon.

You guys do know that Obama and Idaho are on two sides of the country, right? For one thing, it'll take a little longer for anyone to set up anything. Still, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the next couple of weeks.
