Barack Obama has been elected the 44th President
of the United States. Then why did
McCain seem to be the happier one?
Barack Obama will become this nation’s first
African-American President. Oh, who we kidding. Oprah’s been running this
country for years.
I pray health and protection for our new President. And that the likes of Rev. Wright and Jesse Jackson, et al, will come out and say, "Gee, maybe America isn't as racist as we thought."
It was the biggest turnout in history. Obama even got more
votes than David Cook!
President Bush immediately called the President-Elect to congratulate him on an "awesome night." "Thank you, Mr. President," said Obama, "It was an honor running against you."
John McCain gave a gracious, even eloquent concession speech. In fact, it was so moving, Hillary said, "Wow. Maybe I should do one now too!"
Jesse Jackson was spotted in the crowd at Grant Park weeping. "It shoulda been me! It shoulda been me!"
And finally, Sarah Palin was philosophical: "On the bright side, now I get to go on Oprah!"
