Anti-Obama camp

Those of you with facebook especially have likely seen tons of this. My personal favorite is ''time to move to Canada,'' a country with universal health care and more gun control.
It is also annoying to see the Pro-Obama crowd rubbing it in to other peoples faces-we don''t need that either!
It is extremely annoying to see how many people that will likely benefit from President Obama''s tax plans complain about wealth redistribution.
That being said, I was in High School for the 2000 election, so I don''t remember all the backlash on the liberal side, although I imagine it was almost equally bad, but it was also a different situation (the ''stolen election'') so I think that may be justified.
I think it is very classless to be so hateful of a Candidate who promises to get things done, before he even has had the chance.
My utmost respect however, goes to McCain himself, for such a gracious concessionary speech, and his supporters whom are accepting their loss, and supporting our new president. This is what we need in America, and I am very proud to be an American right now, but I am disappointed in many people''s immature and polarizing reactions.
With luck, Obama will deliver, and people''s opinions will change. I could understand being this angry were he to promise to illegalize church, force Gay marriage on everybody, and take away the right to bear arms, but that is not the reality whatsoever. I think hiw administration will be one of good works, and get things done!
Let''s all hope for it!

11/11 is a valid (assuming that 1) you make more than 250k/year, and 2) that Obama actually sticks to that, which I am hoping/assuming he will)) reason for disliking Obama/not trusting him yet. I however, am appalled at how many people are so mad/hateful about this.

I think that the internet has a lot to do with this; spreading of rumors, and it is a lot easier to see how other people feel, and people are more likely to use stronger language/feeling online, since they don''t have to back it up with fisticuffs as one would in person perhaps.
Also, being a ''young voter,'' this is the first Presidential Election that I''ve participated in that has involved a party Change (I was 2 weeks short of 16 in 2000)

Once you''ve lost the freakin'' race, what else can you do but be conciliatory? 24 hours earlier McCain was calling him a Socialist. Give me a major break.
