Barack Obama, 47, was elected the 44th President of the United States!

The Democractic Senator from Illinois held 52 percent of the popular vote, while his rival John McCain held on to 47 percent.  Obama, the son of a Kenyan father and a white mother from Kansas, won the majority of the battleground states.  Last night in Chicago, Obama gave his victory speech to a huge crowd of Obama supporters.  

He said: “If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.”

“It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment, change has come to America.”

“And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.”

Obama’s Kenyan relatives and Africans across Kenya are still celebrating.  They sang, danced, and wrapped themselves in the American flag.  Kenya will be partying for two days.  They also have declared a holiday for Barack Hussein Obama on Thursday.  In fact, across Africa, many people are hoping Obama will now be able to help the vast continent, which is the poorest in the world.

Congrats to Barack Obama!  This is an outstanding day in history, and I’m glad I was here to be apart of it.  Of course, if George W. Bush and that stupid senate wouldn’t have ruined the economy, we would be looking at a completely different guy for the job.  Most polls show people were very concerned about the economy when voting in this election. 

A couple of things: (1) For the love of God, will African-Americans please stop saying that the white man is keeping you down now?!  Obama is black, and he is the next President!!!  What more do you want?!  I’m happy Obama made it…I hope it changes a lot!  (2) For all of you Robin Hoods out there…ummm you won’t be stealing from the rich and giving to the poor (yourself).  Obama isn’t going to turn you into moneybags.  If you thought that, you are an idiot!  The rich will stay rich and the poor will stay poor.  Do you really think EVERYONE is going to be middle class?  Get real!  It doesn’t work that way!  The poor will continue to be a drain on the rich society.  (3)  Do these Africans really believe Obama is going to go over there and help while our country is in the shambles?!  I mean get real!  He is OUR President.  He needs to clean up OUR country first.  That will take some time.  Those idiots seriously believe he is going to make their lives so much better because his father was from Kenya.  OMG!  No!

However you voted … be happy with the turn out!  More people than ever voted!  That is pretty outstanding!

Colin Powell went on Meet the Press this morning with Tom Brokaw.  He tells viewers he has been courted by both Barack Obama and John McCain, but he finally wanted to tell viewers who he was going to be voting for and why.  Of course, it was weird timing since the election is only two weeks away.  I guess he wanted to make a big splash!! 

The former Secretary of State decided to go with Barack Obama.  Why?  Well, he gave some BS answers which Brokaw was all over.  Brokaw at one point told him it was starting to appear as if it was another African American voting for an African American.  Powell was of course ready for that statement and gave his practiced answer.

Powell was born in Harlem and grew up in the South Bronx.  He was the National Security Advisor when Ronald Reagan was in office. He was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the George H. W. Bush Presidency.  Just recently, he was the Secretary of State for George W. Bush.  He served 35 years in the military. 

Of course he would go with Barack Obama!!  He has partnered up with Republicans forever now.  It seems as though he would back someone who had been in the military…not like Obama (NEVER set foot in a boot camp).  Brokaw was right….this is just an African American voting for an African American.

Russell Brand hosted the MTV 25th annual VMA awards.  Ummm…I was not impressed.  He was probably the worst host ever.  He started the show by telling Americans who to vote for.  He said we should all be voting for Obama.  He slammed Bush (understandable…but did he need to do that at the VMA’s)??  He talked about sex the whole time.  It was so stupid.  Who the hell thought this guy should host? 

Russell Brand used to be a heroin addict, sex addict, and an alcoholic.  Brand’s first hosting role was as a VJ on MTV.  He presented Dance Floor Chart and MTV Select; however, he was fired after he came into work dressed as Osama bin Laden the day after 9/11.  Again, who the hell wanted this dude??  He talked shit about Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol Palin, for being pregnant.  Yet, he promotes sex.  So, does this make sense??  Even Perez Hilton thought his sex crap went a little too far. 

Hands down…worst host ever!

Jenna Bush finally married longtime boyfriend, Henry Hager.  The couple wed on Saturday at the Bush family 1600 acre Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, Texas.  Over 200 family and friends attended the wedding and reception.

George W. Bush commented on his daughter’s selection by saying, “Our little girl, Jenna, married a really good guy, Henry Hager.”  Bush also said, ” The wedding was spectacular.  It’s just - it’s all we could have hoped for.”

Henry Hager is the son of the chairman of the Republican party in Virginia.  Good thing Jenna didn’t bring home a democrat right?!?!

I must say Jenna is looking fabulous!!!  She has totally lost weight for the wedding!!  Looking good JENNA!!   Congrats to the happy couple!

George W. Bush threw out the first pitch last night at the Washington Nationals game opener. There was a lot of cheering but a ton of booing as well!! I must say he did throw a nice ball there!! They say many president’s have thrown the opening pitch before, but none have done it so well. Well…I guess Georgie boy is good at something!!

And…since we are on the subject…I want to wish the Washington Nationals good luck on their season!
