Expressing the most excitement in Hope and Change that I have felt in 8 years! I feel an amazing lifting of repression and opression that has been upon us in the United States and the world for the last 8 years!

I know how there are many threads about Obama - being the anti-christ and he will not change anything. Him keeping the illumanati plan going and so on.

I have read through threads and I have not allowed myself to get excited over the fact that Bush might actually leave office, until the moment it happened. I have doubted Obama also, and still have some doubt...BUT...I have more hope than I have had in 8 years - now that the moment has finally come.

Since we have read the various threads and know about the dark and hard days ahead, I think it is a good idea to take this moment and feel the energy and positive thoughts that are happening here in the U.S and the world.

To say something personally about myself, I had until 8 years ago, felt positive about everything in life and I lived my life that way. I would go out and be determined to endure and conquer and felt anything was possible.

When Bush took office, I felt the repression and I felt that he was not in office to help you and me (if we are regular people), but in office to further his own and his friend's agendas for their own benefit and to hell with the rest of us. I feel my life went into a dark cave, and I could not see light at the end of the tunnel/cave. I changed in many ways that were not good, I have felt no hope nor have had the energy or ambition to get out and take on the world.

Today, I jumped up and down, I yelled and danced around with happiness, I hugged everyone I could - I let my joy show. I put out American flags all around my house and on my car - I am looking forward to being a proud American once more in my life. There was an istant release of dark energy and feelings when Obama took the oath of office and gave his inaugral speech. I had always been a proud American before Bush, but once Bush came in office - when I traveld outside the country - I was ashamed to be an American - because of his polices, torture, invading other countries, the list goes on and on.

So this thread is not about what some say Obama is or will do - of some horrible nature.

This thread is about the positive and about how my view of the future is now changed and I myself feel changed today from how I have felt for the last 8 years. I forgot what it felt like to have hope for the future, until today. I kept my excitment bottled up - as I did not want to get too many hopes invested in case something happened before Obama took office and we would be stuck with Bush.

This thread is also not about Bush - we all know what a horrible person he is, and there are other threads we can all go to and post and voice those opinions.

I look at the future now - even though we are facing the worst crisis America and the world has ever faced, with a brightness and light I had not seen for 8 years. I am looking forward to getting back to how I used to be, feeling the happiness and enjoying life more, by feeling our leader is now going to work for all of us - not the PTB. Though it will be hard, I really feel we can all do it together and I look forward to Obama wiping out those terrible Executive Directives that Bush had put into affect.

Wow - the darkness is no more - anything feels possible now!

Celebrate a new beginning - give that beginning a chance!

It may be a long road, but I feel Obama truely wants to work for you and me to make the world a better place! We do all have to do it together - we can not expect our government to give us everything. I also have hope that the government will be more opened and undo what has been done the last 8 years also.

Yes, I know for someone to get to be President, they are basically owned, but......I feel Obama is different.

So I invite others to write if you feel the hope of the U.S. now going in a brand new direct that now has sunshine as the dark clouds have finally passed.

I feel an amazing lifting of repression and opression that has been upon us in the United States and the world for the last 8 years!

Im glad you feel good, but I believe the oppression is still there.
Just in a different form.
If Obama lifts the Patriot act, I will feel truly un oppressed.
But he isn't gonna do that.

I too felt like a repressive heavy shroud had been lifted from my shoulders when I saw on the television President Obama escorting our disgraced ex president to the door, not a minute too soon! I am a realist, I know our new president is only human and will in all likely hood not perform miracles. But he did NOT steal this election from his opponent, he won fair and square. And, unlike the last eight years, I actually feel a hopeful vibrant energy coursing through America. I hope it lasts past Inauguration day!

So you are only proud to be American when your guy is in office? That's pretty disgusting. I am no fan of Obama, but I am incredibly proud to be an American. Your actions are no better than the 9/11 patriots that flew flags for a few weeks and then forgot about the whole thing. I agree with you that this country is heading down the wrong path. Unfortunately, sunshine and puppy dogs will do nothing to guide us in the right direction.

I am however happy that you are enjoying yourself so much. We should all be happy and joyful no matter what happens. Enjoy what you have to the best of your abilities. Best of luck in 2009!

I'm really glad you are feeling all relieved, warm and fuzzy. Let this feeling burn deep into your memory.

You're about to wake up here, pretty soon.

For all those who feel as if they have reached the surface and are now feeling fresh air and sunlight,

For those who are stepping out after the hurricane,

For those who feel repression has ended.

Take deep breath, you'll need it.

The hurricane is not over, this is the eye of the storm,

The wave of change will drown you once more and submerge your vision,

Repression has only just begun.

Once again, I am happy that you are so jubilant. Unfortunately, this is what we call the "honeymoon" period. Eventually something will have to be done about the current problems we face. If we fail to solve these problems you may one day introducing yourself as (insert name here) from the confederate states of the former Unites States, or something to that effect.

These problems are very real. Do not allow these feelings of nirvana to cloud your thoughts and judgements.

Repression has not ended, its just wearing a new suit and face. There will be abit of fannying about but after that it will be back to business, more war, more murder, more corruption, more profiterring, its the way of America is it not. That land of oppertunity and enterprise, well we have certainly seen that over the past 8 years. How many dead, how many murdered, how many tortured, how many lost homes, how many lost jobs, how many have been robbed etc. etc.

I thought that it was hilarious that you were happy and unhappy because of the skill of a politician's speechwriters and the media.

But now I'm more disturbed. It scares me.

i love how way left democrats perceive responsibility as repression. like, hey man, don't keep me oppressed by expecting me to feel responsible for the defense of my country.

also, when you realize that obama is just a lawyer (sounds like liar) with a command of rhetoric, it's easy to see how he manipulates words to create slightly altered literal "statements" to create several interpretations of the same position on an issue, account of a historical event, or personal opinion. He's a forked tongue devil, that sleek mister obama.

Not saying that makes him a bad person, per se. But if you think he wasn't pleased as punch for being handed a plum like paying off all his LOBBIES and buddy's in business in one fell swoop by enacting a trillion dollar stimulus package...you're just not paying attention.

Right now we got a tax cheat running the IRS, obamas campaign finance advisor was the guy in charge of failing fredie and fannie, his spiritual advisor uses the pulpit for hate speech, his number one media supporter is a talk show host, and he knows as much about business as a doctor knows about steelworking.

Whatever credit he takes for ending "Bush's Vietnam in Iraq" will be spent when the next guy takes credit for Obama's Vietnam in Afghanistan.

I love how somehow Bush gets blamed for 911 when WTC was bombed in 1993 and Bill Clinton knew about AlQueda threat back then and did little to secure the US.

And I don't see how any law-abiding person is being oppressed by Patriot Act.

There are some of us who never, ever felt asleep while a Big Brother was repeating hypnotic mantra of American Dream.

What you are experiencing here and now is REALITY in progress, mighty Capitalism biting again the very hand which feeds it...

Does it really matter what kind of flavor it has, democratic or republican ?

It's been happening for a very, very long time

Ya lets oust Obama so we can get JEB in 2012 - YAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA!

OP, you have been suckered into believing that there is a difference between the Republicons and the Demoncrats.

They are the same party, the opposite sides of the dialectic. Why do you think they don't want any true 3rd party candidates?

I'm just happy that the USA is back to just an averagely bad politician in the White House instead of the worst president in history :p I don't think Obama is some kind of messiah, but he certainly is better than Bush (anyone would be) and in comparison Obama seems amazing, but he's probably about an average president, at least so far. It's like eating a meal of ramen after 8 years of human feces; we'll take any improvement we can get!
