our new president emailed me last night but i didn't get it till now:
Lxy--
I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.
We just made history.
And I don't want you to forget how we did it.
You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it's time for change.
I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign.
We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next.
But I want to be very clear about one thing...
All of this happened because of you.
Thank you,
Barack

lingbert, what is your expert opinion of sarah palin's public speaking.
"Right now, I cannot even imagine running for national office in 2012,'' she told CNN. "When I say that, though, of course, coming on the heels of an outcome that I certainly didn't anticipate and had not hoped for.''
She added: "I mean, it is a time for all of us to work together. So having said that, 2012 sounds so far off that I can't even imagine what I'd be doing then.''
Palin, whose socially conservative views and lack of experience were seen as having put off some independent voters, dismissed reports that people had voted against the Republican ticket because of her.
"I don't think anybody should give Sarah Palin that much credit that I would trump an economic time in this nation that occurred about two months ago,'' she told CNN.
"That my presence on the ticket would trump the economic crisis that America found itself in a couple of months ago and attribute John McCain's loss to me.''
But she said if her presence had in any way damaged McCain's chances at the polls she would regret it.
"If I cost John McCain even one vote, I am sorry about that because John McCain, I believe, is the American hero.
"I had believed it was his time. He being so full of courage and wisdom and experience. That knowledge he embodies, I believe he would have been the best pick. But that is not the Americans' choice at this time.''

my brother-in-lol is still spamming everyone he knows with election-related emails. 5 today. so far. oh no wait, another just in!
here's his best:
I was flipping through several channels last night (C-SPAN 1, 2, and 3, BBC, CNN International) and one of them, I think it was C-SPAN 1, focused on and continued to return to Oprah who was mugging for the cameras in Grant Park. Did anyone else see her? She’s really annoying. Like she’s the only one who voted for Obama. I bet she didn’t get a personal e-mail from him like I did.

he has 2. are they good? i might be interested in knowing.
― Lingbert, Friday, 7 November 2008 17:33 (fifteen years ago) link
i read dreams from my father. its really good for what it is but if the dude wasnt president i probably wouldnt recommend it.
― max max max max, Friday, 7 November 2008 18:30 (fifteen years ago) link
pretty quick read tho.
i haven't read either. it feels weird to be a fan of the president... that's never been the case before so i don't have any reference points for how to express it or how to maintain the good feeling and hopefulness. maybe reading his books would help me?
― lxy, Saturday, 8 November 2008 16:43 (fifteen years ago) link
i am worried that my expectations are too high.
lxy would you say that your hope is audacious?
― Lingbert, Saturday, 8 November 2008 17:04 (fifteen years ago) link
no, lingy, that's my problem!!
― lxy, Saturday, 8 November 2008 17:30 (fifteen years ago) link

i think most of the algebra is gone as well.
one of my teachers (we had two in that class) told me i was "most improved" in my class.

if u read dreams from my father u can read all about my college where obama says he smoked a lot of weed and did coke and ate 'hawaiian'-style pizzas and did activisty things
