My only plan for 4 yrs. of Hussein is to immediately cut my personal indiscriminate spending. Need to have plenty of bucks to pay higher taxes to support those lazy asses who don't have jobs and won't get off the couch.
I'm holding my breath for 4 years !! God help America!!
More,
Calm down, have another sip of Starbuck's and relax. There is good news across America this morning that may not be getting broad coverage for the moment. Here's just one small example:

All tax increases voted down
Posted by Ryan W. McMaken at November 4, 2008 11:34 PM
Note to Dems:
The state constitution mandates that all tax increases must be voted on by the electorate in Colorado. There were 4 tax increases on the statewide ballot this year.
Democrats dominated the state in the elections, yet all 4 tax increases were voted down.
Just because people rightly repudiated Bush/McCain does not mean they have embraced big government.

I know it may be hard for you to accept but the last sentence in the above is a very key point to remember!
Besides, Obama wants what ever other President elect wants and that is a 2nd term. And the democrats want to maintain what they have in Congress and they see 2010' stareing them down even on this victorious morning. They ain't stupid!
I also just read this from a piece at Yahoo News:
Exit polls showed that voters were deeply anxious about the economy and dissatisfied with President Bush. They haven't been thrilled by Democrats in Congress, either, largely because the new majority could not agree on how to end the Iraq war as promised.
Exit polling showed that the war remains unpopular, and distaste for the conflict helped Obama. Nearly two-thirds disapprove of the conflict, and that group overwhelmingly backed the Democrat.
But that issue faded this year. Politically, the economy was the number one issue with voters and nothing else came close, exit polls showed. That hurt McCain and trickled down-ballot, hurting some Republican candidates.
The bold/underlined part IMO is very important to remember because those swing/independent voters who handed the keys to the democrats are expecting something and I don't think Bill Ayers/Rev. Wright in cabinet positions and overt socialism is what they have in mind. Pelosi might be that stupid but I don't think Obama is and if they (democrats) don't deliver, those independent/swing voters could go the other way in 2010' and especially 2012' and these guys know it. I know this might seem crazy but I can see where Obama and Pelosi might clash from time to time and that in itself might be worth the price of admission.
BTW: I did see McCain's concession speech and although I didn't support him, what a class act that was. Big tip of the hat to him and I'll bet Obama uses McCain as a resource of knowledge going forward.
Palin? Hard to say going forward but she did capture the imagination. At the least, she get better speaking fees in the future!
And my farewell salute to Gov. Palin? I found this cartoon the other day and although I admired her for what she did, this cartoon just killed me.
(deleted cartoon of Bullwinkle the Moose using profanity because Palin shot his cousin. Funny, but you know better.)
Sorry but I just found that absolutely hilarious.
The real loser? Bill Clinton. He's been replaced as the iconic party leader and now joins Jimmy Carter to the back bench. If I was Harry Reid, I'd watch my back in Hillary Clinton. She did help Obama in the end IMO and Obama I do think will remember that when it comes to picking superstars to advance his policies.
