First of all, I was in Rockefeller Plaza [MSNBC headquarters] and watched the Obama acceptance speech with a few thousand other people. It was uplifting, it was moving, it was amazing. There was a general feeling of joy and people are very, very excited in New York and I'm sure all around the country. This is a historic time and we should appreciate it accordingly and look forward with high anticipation to Jan. 20.
Secondly, I think my head is about to explode. Watching O'Reilly and Hannity today, there was a man on both shows actually defending Obama...who you ask? Would you even believe me if I told you it was Karl Rove? I couldn't believe what I was hearing, it was crazy. O'Reilly and Hannity both trotted out bullshit about how they don't know who Barack Obama is and they are hearing and feeling fear from people around the country about Obama. There was barely a whisper of congratulations from O'Reilly before he immediately began questioning Obama's "real" character and how he was going to accomplish his lofty goals. Forget the historical significance of the moment and the feeling of joy from many, many people around the country, let's just focus on the fear of the losers and question how Obama can possibly succeed...O'Reilly, what a schmuck. Karl Rove, still can't believe that.
