President #44 Inaugurated. Peaceful Power Transfer #44 A Success.

America has changed leaders. The old administration did not declare the results of the election invalid and cling to power (rather quite the exact opposite took place). There was no rioting in the streets to protest the loss by the losing voters. The military did not have to be called out. UN observers have not raised "serious concerns" about our election process. I didn't see any reports of beatings at the ballot box, and only a couple of reports of voter intimidation. None of actual disenfranchisement. Nobody's family was dragged out into the night and raped and murdered because of how they voted. Jobs were not lost because of how employees voted. The candidate himself may have received a few threats but nobody actually sent one downrange from 300 yards at him.

And?

And those things all happen in other countries. Routinely enough that there are international organizations in place to deal with the hassles at election times. In the United States of America, for the most part, we follow the rules and respect each other, even if our opinions are polar opposites. We started on a Christian value set which includes "follow the rules" and "don't be a bad sport when you lose" and look what we get. Peace. By following the guidelines you find in the Bible. We are going farther away from the standard and the country is in decline because of that, but still America remains the greatest country on the planet. Let God's people return to him and we may be able to keep it.

Congratulations to Barack Hussein Obama for proving that he could fool most of the people some of the time, at the very least, and that money can overcome a pretty serious set of serious moral and philosophical shortcomings in a candidate.

You have the office. Do try not to screw up my country too much.

He's already hot on the case trying though. Look for executive orders to stop the prosecutions of our enemies in military tribunals, as well as opening up the availability of prosecution-free murder of unborn people for the convenience of their gene-donors.

Already he has appointed communists, socialists, america and baby haters to his cabinet and positions of great importance.

If you did not hold your nose and vote for McCain, this is your fault.

Congratulations USA, you still suck less than the rest of the world when it comes to your government. Hooray. :P
