Actually, it says "As Obama Enjoys Win ... a World of Trouble Awaits"

The story then goes on to talk about his historic victory, the financial mess he is inheriting, the wars he has to deal with, and the speech he gave at Grant Park.

I really try to stay out of these rants, and have no particular love affair with Fox News, but I'd think you have enough REAL beefs with Fox News without inventing "news" as you accuse Fox of doing.

EDIT: 2 ways to spell speach\speech

Could Bill O'Reilly be the stupidest man alive? His idiocy on this day after is breathtaking.

I've been watching CNN, but missed anying Bill O'Reilly. Is he on CNN anymore? Where would I find something? He's always good for a laugh.

The size of his paycheck undermines your premise, since his owners ex officio compete for (if not win) that designation by definition ...

You missed the moment. They changed the title. When I saw it, thats exactly how it was... big blocky "A world of trouble".. in teh top left corner. I should have taken a screen capture.

Wow, that was some astute commentary by Mr. O'Reilly. It's like standing in the driveway listening to a boring neighbor.

Actually, I DO believe you. Evidently my sense of humor isn't very developed. Kinda thought the smiley would have conveyed a sense of levity.

Tony, anyone who has met you knows you have NO sense of humour. Not a shred, not a speck, not an IOTA!

Or the conservative gasbags here in my office. Why do people think that simply because we share a profession that we must share political views.

I've heard comments like: "Obama's an a$$h0l3." , "Looks like the property values in DC will drop, you know what they say, 'There goes the neighborhood.'" , "There will be fried chicken and watermelon on the menu at the White House now."

WTF? Granted, most of this came from one individual, but it makes me think that some Americans have a bit further to go than others. :(

I'm just glad that everyone's gone home for the day and it's quiet.

IMO this bitterness was a big part of the reason for why it was a landslide victory. One cant think straight when all this comes in the way. Fortunately a majority of us cut through and looked beyond.

ETA: I wonder where the stand up hummer crowd is now. Not that I miss baseless arguments... but this is the time to show the facts... rather.. the biggest fact of all: America has spoken... for hope and perseverence and against greed and bitterness.

That will just enable McCain to get him kicked out so Palin can appoint herself as his replacement. Last I heard he was only ahead by about 4000 votes with quite a few left to count -- has the election been certified yet?
