And he won't be as honest and forthcoming as he is promising he'll be. He can't--the public can't and won't know everything.

I agree with you completely.
I, too, found myself reading statuses on Facebook as they were changing every second - literally. I live in a very red region, so the majority were anti-Obama. Some were racially motivated. The few pro-Obama ones that I saw, however, were quite nasty as well - like some of the ones Winnibug posted. Some folks out there are awfully sore winners. Something that I think Obama himself would be very disappointed in.
I think that what bothers me most about this election is the vast number of people out there who voted based on something completely false. On BOTH sides. Like how
Howard Stern's show went out and asked people on the street who they were voting for, then listed the opposing candidate's VP and platforms to see if the folks would agree with those positions. They did - both McCain and Obama supporters. It's things like that that lead me to believe that there are tons of Americans out there voting for something other than issues. And this year, the biggest "something other" was quite arguably race.
I was thinking as I read your post, "This sounds like something DSTCHAOS would say...."
