Get ready for a bunch of once in a lifetime disasters.

OMG, racism is everywhere on this site.

Did you hear all the people talking about colors. Not a single one of them said that they saw black or brown.

Remind me not to go to racist Canada anytime soon, they’ll probably lynch me if I go anywhere near their racist, far right wing craziness.

Pessimism vs Brighter Outlook   November 22nd, 2008 - 4:15 pm

To Somali Pirate and all the others who continually post extremely negative, unconstructive remarks all over the Net:

It is FAR EASIER to be PESSIMISTIC than it is to look at the BRIGHTER side of things. But pessimism never accomplishes much; and HOPE and OPTIMISM accomplishes much.

Whether you are happy with the election results or not, we are ALL in this together and we ALL have to make an effort to pull ourselves UP and OUT of the crises we find ourselves in.

any chance that it was some group of angels arriving early for the new messiah’s inauguration?

Could have been obama after he switched into his superman outfit and zoooooooooomed through the sky and the light was off his cigarette? That’s the only way he can smoke one in private you know?

PLEASE SIGN PETETION on obama and send to your friends. There are about 15 states filing suit.
Let your voice be heard
Check out: http://www.TruthOrFiction.com dated 11/17/08

Scroll down to Obama and his birth certificate click and look for petetion. Good reading also. It is free just to send email of petition to congress and the courts.

Pessimism vs Brighter Outlook

What was most pessimistic is the liberal view on America. Liberals think soooo much is wrong with America while they drive their SUV’s to their kid’s soccer practice, stopping at Starbucks for a $6 latte they can afford because of the $100k a year job they have where all they do is send text messages to their friends. All while living in a country that does not suffer daily attacks from militant muslim groups because of the very policies they decry on their bumper stickers.

That is where the pessimism comes in. And Obama did everything he could to convince you Kool-Aid drinkers that life here is so bad and HE was the only chance for Change. That is not only pessimistic, but cynical and arrogant as well.

So, you see, your chance to vote optimisticly came and went. I’m optimistic that this guy will show himself to be such a clown that Democrats will be become a thing of the past.

It’s all a matter of perspective.

No, instead of helping Obama… Let’s all sabotage him – in the end he will be the scapegoat. The worst of the economy is to come
and it will not ‘recover’ under Socialism

sorry to burst your bubble of hope
but it’s true.

ralpherus   November 23rd, 2008 - 2:08 am

I HOPE the one has not already implanted foreigners here. say, folks who took an oath to the UN- which is a very scary oath for Americans when they think about our troops wearing the blue…
Everywhere Un shows up- innocents are killed, and the tyranicals thrive… all from raiding the US taxpayer!! ENOUGH!!!

internetjunky1975   November 23rd, 2008 - 3:00 am

DOH! There’s that bag of tools the moron astronaut lost the other day!

Obama Worshipper   November 23rd, 2008 - 8:27 am

All you need to do is worship our lord Obama and “hope” that you’ll be one of those to get the free stuff that Obama will pass out. And you’d better also “hope” that you’re not one of the ones who’ll provide the free things that Obama will give to others. If you’ve got three shirts and your neighbor has just one, you’d better not let Obama find out, cuz we both know what’s going to happen…

Meteors come in very fast and burn up in a second . Tool bags come in 18,000 mph and take longer to burn up. Harden steel makes pretty fire works not to mention the burning grease.
It was those tools that lady Heidemarie Lost in space. They should be more careful up there. A few years ago I was driving my car in the middle of nowhere when something came down and busted my windshield. Who knows what’s up there that’s going to come down on us.
One more thing…Heidemarie don’t lose the keys to the shuttle or you won’t get home.

It could just be Michael Moore having gas again.

CUT YOUR NOSE TO SPITE YOUR FACE   November 23rd, 2008 - 2:21 pm

Somebody wrote, “instead of helping Obama… Let’s all sabotage him – in the end he will be the scapegoat.”

Yeah, that makes a LOT OF SENSE (NOT!)… Sabotaging the President in order to scapegoat him for bad times = cutting off your nose to spite your face.

WHAT A RIDICULOUS ATTITUDE!

People who are WISHING EVIL ON AMERICA JUST BECAUSE THEY HATE OBAMA are just plain EVIL (not to mention STUPID).

claspur   November 23rd, 2008 - 10:43 pm

Uh, it came from way-up in the sky…and it was full of colors…

Way up in the sky? It’s called Space, you moron.

People who are WISHING EVIL ON AMERICA JUST BECAUSE THEY HATE OBAMA are just plain EVIL (not to mention STUPID).

Would this be the SAME people who for 8 years trashed Bush and sabotaged him at every turn. Boo Fu**ing hoo to you. You get EXACTLY what you give. This is going to be fun. Let the Hate start immediately.

congressive   November 24th, 2008 - 8:55 am

Head’s up. These things rarely travel alone.

steve   November 24th, 2008 - 12:32 pm

a little scary we can’t see something this large coming until it’s too late. ok, a lot scary.

Dooley   November 24th, 2008 - 1:36 pm

Just one more sign that the Armageddon is right around the corner…

Docmarshall   November 24th, 2008 - 1:56 pm

This event happened shortly after a meteor shower about a week ago which was caused by passing through the remnants of a tail of a previous comet. Probably no crater will be found as these things burn up (brilliantly) before they hit the ground.

J. Boosh   November 25th, 2008 - 5:33 am

I wonder what Americans would have said if this happened in their back yard…. Probably somehing like: “Oh noes!!! Teh terrorists are sending metrolites against US!!! Let’s bomb something…” (I know I misspelled meteors, but I did that on purpose)

P.S.
I don’t get all this Obama s. He seems like a nice guy. Wow…. nice US president… Does this mean the world’ll be a better place now?
