    We have to examine ourselves in our hearts and ask ourselves what is important. This will not happen unless the American people demand it. If parents and teachers, police officers and pastors, if hunters and sportsmen, if responsible gun owners, if Americans of every background stand up and say enough—we’ve suffered too much pain and care too much about our children to allow this to continue—then change will come. That’s what it’s going to take.

    i would pay $1000 to see Obama in Frozone’s super suit

    I would pay $10,000 to hear Michelle say “I am your WIFE! I am the greatest good you are EVER gonna get!!”.

    I didn’t know I wanted this until now.

    "Secret Service says President Barack Obama Is the Most Threatened President In History" | Daily Kos

    socialismartnature:

    Indication of how much racism exists in the depths of this country’s psyche (and this includes among supposed upholders of “law-and-order” such as police, judges, etc.) …

    ===

    President Barack Obama is the target of more than 30 potential death threats a day and is being protected by an increasingly over-stretched Secret Service. He is the most threatened President in history.

    Since the President took office in 2008, the rate of threats against the president has increased 400% cent. Some threats to the President have been publicized, including the well known alleged plot by white supremacists in Tennessee to rob a gun store, shoot 88 black people, decapitate another 14 and then assassinate the first black president in American history.

     … America is a post-racial society in name and desire only. Attitudes toward racial integration have warmed, but in our homes and communities, we’re as segregated as ever; attitudes toward interracial dating have also warmed, but dating patterns remain mostly unchanged, with only 1% of all American marriages taking place between a black and a white person. Yet the historic election of President Obama temporarily halted the cloud of racial pessimism that has hovered over our society since the 1600s and followed us through succeeding eras of hard-earned, if altogether underwhelming, progress:

    We have 44 African-American Congresspersons (out of 435, or 10%, near-parity), zero black Senators (out of 100), 1 black governor (out of 56), and just 250-500 black mayors (out of 19,000 cities, or 2.6%).

    When it comes to taxes, there are two pathways available.

    One says, if Congress fails to act by the end of the year, then everybody’s taxes automatically go up—including the 98% of Americans who make less than $250,000 a year. Our economy can’t afford that right now. You can’t afford that right now. And nobody wants that to happen.

    The other path is for Congress to pass a law right away to prevent a tax hike on the first $250,000 of anyone’s income. That means all Americans—including the wealthiest Americans—get a tax cut. And 98 percent of Americans, and 97 percent of all small business owners, won’t see their income taxes go up a single dime.

    The Senate has already passed a bill like this. Democrats in the House are ready to pass one, too. All we need is for Republicans in the House to come on board.

    We shouldn’t hold the middle class hostage while Congress debates tax cuts for the wealthy. Let’s begin our work by actually doing what we all agree on. Let’s keep taxes low for the middle class. And let’s get it done soon.

    If Romney gets elected can we just submit gay porn to him until he gives up?

    I don’t want to start contingency planning, but if I may make one exception, just for a moment, I’d have to say this is the most brilliant plan ever (that seems like it could have potential for a high success rate). Huzzah! :-)

    jtotheizzoe:

    When it comes down to the choice between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, we are a nation divided, and many people will go to bed disappointed tomorrow night.

    But no matter who wins on Election Day, we should remember this:
