Wonderful OHIO! Finally, we got it right this time. It will take a long time for improvments to begin, but at least internationally, they finally believe we have done this one right. Now, let’s all begin to support the American People by supporting our new elected president. And maybe we will not have to hear from Palin for a long time…but then the last thing about Palin believing Africa was a country…well she does make news.

Folks, Please remember that based on the election results, the majority of us have risen above racism. Additionally, the new generation of voters confirms that with each generation we are erasing the unacceptable and antiquated bigotry. Don’t let a few bigoted thinkers let you think otherwise and ruin this moment!

Wow!it is so sad to see that people here in Ohio still can’t let go of that good ole boy mentality. As a person who has lost my job and worried to death about health care I am happy to see that there are some of those who just understand that this election was about changing it was about all of us. Remember God is looking down on all of you who still hold so much hate and ignorants in your heart.

Wow! After being so excited about witnessing a historic event, I check this blog and once again am disgusted by the racism and hatred that exists in this town. Dayton, we have so far to go…so much ground to cover. Not everyone is happy with the outcome tonight, but we are on the same team. We are all Americans. We need to unite and pull together to pull ourselves out of this mess. I know many of you are disappointed, but this isn’t the Super Bowl, this isn’t the World Series, this is the future of our nation and the rest of the world is watching us. This is a moment in time, a moment in history, a moment when we can hopefully begin to leave racism and hatred behind us. Each of us has a part to play - will you be part of the problem or part of the solution. We are Dayton, Ohio. WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS! Get over yourselves, get over your disappointment, focus on the big picture and do your part to make our town, our state, our nation better. But for the love of God, please stop spewing your hatred.

1.WAS everyone this upset when Bush jr. carried Ohio for 2 terms? I was out of state and could not believe that after 1 term Ohio actually put him in for 4 more years!! Where were you then? I guess you feel it is o.k. to go overseas and take over a country you have no business in because the one you just bombed the heck out of and left in ruins AND DID NOT GET OSSAMA still sets there and so does the man who sent killers to America. 2. I was around when Kennedy was elected president. Thank God no one said now we will all have to turn catholic or suffer the consequences.If it was said I did not hear it. I was a small child but I did not ear it, 3. Not all people of color are on welfare. I guess that is pretty enlightening. I know generations of whites that do not have and will not have jobs, and I am white… 4. I know families of color that are really well off and live the same as you, hopefully you are up to that standard! 5. I truly do not know why you can not set your differences aside and make this the best country on this Earth as we once were. Let the man do his job and help him to make this a better country, no matter who wins or what color they are. 6. To the poor soul that said that they feel that there is a government behind this government…I am so glad you have finally awakened and are not sleeping your life away anymore…no it does not matter who runs some others rule..

if i wanted to give more money it should be my choice, not the people that don’t work and go out and vote to take it from me!!! if i want to give more that is what charity is for. i work 45 hours a week to make it without ever having taken a penny from the government and my job does not require a college degree, but i still make good money. Not everyone needs to go to college to make it!!! but i guess it is my duty to pay for it. some people need the government for a while but there are far too many that live off of it(and you surely cant argue that). personally i dont think you should be able to vote if you are not a productive member of society. i know people that are on welfare that live in much nicer homes than i do, so what more can i do for them, give them new cars too. that sounds great, we should all quit our jobs and join them. but then who would pay for everything.
