It's really just a simplistic and hypocritical approach of "I'm happy so 'nuff said."

"I'm happy so 'nuff said" was never enough before this election and it isn't enough after this election.

For some people, "moving forward" means making their voices heard about things they disagree with in the new President's platform.
But the complainers are happy now. End of discussion. Stop being a hater.

The funniest thing is that we were discussing social dynamics beyond Obama's performance. If people think Obama's swearing in was powerful enough to errode the relevance of social dynamics then I fear this society is even more clueless than I thought it was.

It's not that any of this is a great shock, as it happens every time there is a change in the Presidency, especially when it goes from one party to another party. It's just interesting to see how people's visions of the Presidency change when the people filling the role change.
I notice that, too. Another reason why people need to stop being FANS of presidents and of political parties.

I know I'm kind of crashing here, but I've read this whole thread, and I just want to thank you so much for saying this! Why is it bad to have an intelligent discussion that reaches beyond the idea of "Obama was elected. Democrats won. End of story."?

Now I think I'll go get myself a big ol' glass of haterade!
