I didn’t think I’d make it until the end of Bush’s term but I did make it. 8 years that have felt like 80 years trapped in a nightmare. These past 8 years are what being awake during open heart surgery must be like.

That cover is long overdue.

I love this cover!
I hope it’s available as a poster and I will buy one and have it framed and hang it in our den.
Like David said, it feels like 80 years — not 8 years and for me personally, the Bush/Cheney era has been the darkest time in my 57 years on earth. But the country’s long nightmare is almost over and we survived. The block party will be at where I live as virtually the occupants of every house despises Bush/Cheney with a passion.

The pro-Hillary websites are now claiming McCain won’t be too bad and the Dems will block his efforts to appoint kooks to the SCOTUS. These Hillbots need to have their pretty, little heads examined because the Dems are worthless, pussies who are afraid of their own shadows. These stupid, mostly women had better wake up and get behind Obama while there is still a chance.

The Hillbots seem to think Barack Obama has to win or prove his worthiness to them. I think that’s wrong. I think the Hillbots need to prove their worthiness to him. They’re like irrational, old school Holy rollers who can’t see the bend in the road the car is headed toward. They’re a scary lot.

Great article in Time, too.
Rachel is dead on. Sadly, hell hath no fury like an aging housewife scorned . . .

Great pic of Obama on the Time cover! I’ll have to read the article!
I hope this is finally over. A few more superdelegates declared for him today so that is a good sign.

It really has been 8 years of HELLL….but I also have to say honestly that the 8 years before that were not so wonderous…but the Bush years- like tothers said above- a Nightmare…..1930’s Germany is what I think it has been like or even worse…
5 superdels, and and Govt Worker Union endorsement….( ABC says that Obama has passed her)…GREAT Cover….must have and frame….Now about Hill and her fans, they live in their own deluded little bubble…at some point Something will break their bubble…I think that she will have to give in sooner than later….$$$$ wise she is drowning…
Thanks for posting the Cover Christopher…

In a recent interview with USA Today Hillary Clinton said “I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on.” As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article that according to Clinton “found how Sen. Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.”
“There’s a pattern emerging here,” she said. Yes, there is, and we call it racism.
Hillary Clinton’s comment about “hard-working Americans, white Americans” is a less cautious reiteration of the blatant racism that Bill Clinton began injecting into her campaign months ago. It’s not that she forgets that working people come in all skin colors and from many ethnicities, but that she intends to appeal to the racism of some Euro Americans. The Clintons are down and dirty political thugs in the tradition of Boss Tweed, LBJ, the KC Machine and Richard Daley. They’re about as democratic as the NAM, the Wal-Mart Board of Directors, the Pinkertons or the CIA.
The left has been criticized before for saying that the United States is a cesspool of bigotry, but the unfolding election campaign continuously reinforces that opinion. We watched in amazement and anger as powerful anti-GLBT groups in both parties ripped the real ENDA to shreds because it extended the numbers of people who can sue for redress and would have been used by GLBT folks, women and minorities extensively. Then they dropped it and the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Bill to prevent them being used as ‘wedge issues’.
Obama, as expected, caved into that bigotry when we repeatedly denounced Jeremiah Wright for his ‘anti-Americanism’ and for Wrights entirely correct linkage of the barbaric 9-11 attacks to Bush’s abandonment of the Palestinians to the ethnic cleansing and apartheid policies of the zionists. Obama likewise caved into gaybashing bigots when featured vermin like the Rev. Donnie and Mary Mary in his campaign. (Wright is likely wrong about the origins of AIDS, but not about the depraved barbarity of the Tuskegee experiment.)
The problem is that the Republican are dead set on following up on the Clintons now open racism with some sort of ‘Willie Horton’ gambit. They’ve already done preliminary polling to see what they can get away with and used it in North Carolina.
I could give a rat’s ass whether or not the Democrats lose. They’ve demonstrated time and again that they’re our enemy just as much as their Republican cousins. But the problem is that these racist campaigns, like gay bashing campaigns, always lead to more violence, harassment and discrimination.

I would so enjoy the opportunity to travel to Barack Obama’s inauguration in Washington in January and witness his motor procession as it comes down the street!
What a striking difference this day will be compared to the sparsely attended, dreary and depressing day George W. Bush began his ascent to evil.
I hate cold weather but it would be worth having to buy a winter coat and a scarf and gloves to see this glorious, historic day!

I love that cover and hope to see it again in November!
