Ladies and Gentleman, Barack H. Obama: The nation’s first African-American president!

An historic moment that none of us will ever forget.

The Superficial will return to its regularly scheduled chicanery tomorrow. But goddamn what a night.

EDIT: Just hell fucking yeah! I’m sorry, but this is a day a lot of people never thought they’d see. I might be a guy who cracks jokes about his penis and loves breasts more than life itself, but what a monumental moment for America. Just incredible. You may now fire away at my political views because, shit, that’s just another reason this country is awesome. Freedom of speech. G’night, guys!

    “True values of life” = voting for a black man to make yourself feel better, without any regard to his announced plans or lack of qualifications. Hope it worked, because it’s gonna cost you (and unfortunately, me) a lot of money and freedom and almost certainly another terrorist attack or two. Fucking morons.

  2. Sigh Again

    Great….which one of you Jackholes is gonna pay for my tax hike? What…no volunteers? I am shocked…..

    People may not be retarded…they are just not that bright.

  3. yes we can

    OBAMA 2008!!!
    Truly an amazing day, and I am so glad to be an important part of this election. Ohio loves you Obama!

    To all the racists and ignorant haters, I hope you realize the load of garbage you’re spewing. America has chosen, and they don’t agree with you.

  4. CONGRATULATIONS BARACK OBAMA 2008! CONGRATULATIONS VIDEO HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24tZ22JyuzY

    WE PRAISE YOU BARACK!! AND ALSO THE SUPERFICIAL WRITER!

    PLEASE VIEW THE VIDEO AND CONGRADULATE THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT!

  5. Suck a dick, Republicans!

    Fuck the lot of you.

  6. missjax

    YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GO AMERICA!
    THANK YOU FOR EFFIN WAKING UP FOR ONCE!
    *cues victorious Rocky-type music*
    nice try McCain but you never should have added Caribbou Hunting Wack Job Hockey Mom, errr Palin to your ticket. Better to side with Obama now.

    and ahem, for all you haters, or rather the same few people who keep signing in under different names, for all your hatred and misinformed ignorance about Obama’s ethnicity or “socialism” well too little too late. The Republicans and/or Bush did a bang up job mucking the country up so why don’t you wait and see w/out predicting doom just because our new president stands apart historically. Or if you are going to keep whining just move out of the country for a few…..it’s a different ball game now baby!!!

    XOXOX

    Unless you’re making more than $227K a year or more you’re not going to see a tax hike from Obama. And if you are making more than that what the &*$# are you doing here, moron.

  8. Politics Suck

    Politics has ruined this site. Fuck you Superficial!

    Politics ruins EVERYTHING!

  9. History

    This is truely amazing! Obama.. the 44th President of the United States!

    Why don’t you ignorant haters shut up and see what happens before you judge? Obama is trying to make America as a whole a better place. Stop worrying about how much tax will be collected from the super rich.

    The President is a Nigger!
    What did he say?
    He said the President is near…

    As chairman of the welcoming committee, it’s a pleasure to present a laurel and hearty handshake to our new [finally looks up] …nigger.

  11. victoria

    McCain’s a great politician and I was really impressed with his gracious concession speech…..but THANK GOD for PRESIDENT OBAMA and bring on the CHANGE!!

    Thats right, a truly historic night!! The first bought and paid for election by an under qualified politician!! Wait until we find out where all that money came from..

    Wohoo!!! Welcome back Jimmy Carter..

    And before you call me a hater, I’m black and i wanted Hillery.

    #110, clever use of a Blazing Saddles quote, though it makes me sad people still throw that word around so freely.

  15. Oranges

    lmfao butthurt conservatives is butthurt.

    I for one welcome our new socialist overlord.

  16. Beth

    Come on guys, Obama can’t screw things up that badly, unless he sets the Reichstag on fire and declares himself Chancellor. On the other hand, he can’t really do all that much – he’s only the President, he’s got to deal with getting Congress to agree with his plans (they are mostly Democrat, but that doesn’t mean they all agree), and dealing with Bush’s Supreme Court Justices. Things will pretty much go on as they are, people bitching and moaning, and in four years people will either think the world is ending again or that Jesus has just been reborn, no matter who wins.

  17. Wendy

    Hey Jaju, so are you saying everyone that voted for Obama is black? Why are you so racist saying that what everyone that is against Obama is a gun-loving whiteboy. What’s your problem?

    What about the black people who want to carry guns, what do we call them?

  18. Sport

    “Wow.. for all you people that are still cmplaining about Obama winning. Give it a rest already. He won. He’s the president!

    NO matter what he does all you pessimists will still be bitching. Just shut up.

    YAY Obama!”

    Exactly what the Bush haters have been doing to get him elected so kindly STFU.

  19. Mandi

    ONCE YOU GO BLACK, YOU NEVER GO BACK!

    But seriously, this is tremendous. This is one of the few moments in my life I have been truly proud to be an American.
    No matter who would have won tonight, it would have been historic – our first black prez. or first female VP – and I think that shows that America is changing for the better already.

    I believe Obama will continue to take our country in the right direction.

    Tax Numbers:

    Income McCain Obama
    < $19K No Change $567 less taxes
    <$66K $100-300 less $600 - 1K less
    <$227K $1K - 4K less $1K - $3K less
    >$227K $8K – 270K less $0 – 700K more

    The sad thing is most of you bitching about Obama will actually get more $ from Obama’s tax cuts you %^&* morons.

  21. Ridiculous

    the absolute most appalling thing about this election is that race and sex were even factors. that should never have even entered the minds of voters when choosing their candidate.

    and obama is not african-american. he is half caucasian-american and half african-american. if you’re going to be ecstatic about him winning, be happy because you like his policies, not some racial identity he/the nation has painted.

  22. Meh

    What about me? I’m a non-racist white libertarian gun-lover woman from Kansas who also happens to be in one of the top ten medical schools in the country?

  23. Smirk Smiggler

    Wow @ 95, you moron. Your economy is in the shits, if taxes aren’t raised now how is it ever going to get better? You have no other choice… If McCain was elected sure you’d be happy, but you wouldn’t have a company in a month or 2.

    Changes are coming, and it’s going to suck for a bit then once it’s all stabilized it will turn around. Things will get better. If McCain had won, then it would have just gotten worse for another 4 years, if he lived that long, and then Palin would be in charge. Can you honestly say anyone would take the States seriously with Palin in charge?

    Good luck with that buddy.

  24. ChuckleHead

    Assassinators bullet.

    Joe Biden should be the president by… March 4th, 2009?

    #36 Keep your stupid fucking racist comments to yourself. This is a momentous occasion for America.

    I’m a kiwi and I applaud your choice tonight.

    Viva Obama!!

  28. Wendy

    Wow. I did not vote for Obama, and I really am very, very sad he is president, but you people who are calling him a ni**er are really wrong. That is truly racist. I would hope you would have something smarter to say like you voted against him because of your beliefs or morals, but no, you are racist.

  29. jill.ftw.

    for all of you that obviously are too good and too smart to have a “fucking nigger” run the country, i have one thing to say to you.
    the great part of america is that if you don’t like something you can GET THE FUCK OUT. go to canada, they’ll love your ignorant views.

    do your research before you say hes a crazy american hating muslim. or a socialist or communist loving bastard.
    at least he respects a persons right to chose. barack obama is an intelligent man who has struggled to become a great person. hes a real person who understands struggle. so suck a chode, open your eyes, and get comfortable, otherwise its gunna be a tough 4 years for you pricks.

    this is ridiculous. besides one of you ignorant assholes will probably just assassinate him anyway.
    fuck.

  30. saggybag

    Can’t wait til’ all your employers that pay you for flipping burgers decide to let you go to make up for their higher taxes they have to pay. Say hello to higher prices passed to the consumer when taxes go up. It’s ok, you all just don’t get it. Never seen so many people in this country jealous and spiteful toward people that have more then they do. It’s always someone else fault that you failed in life. But now… Hey! lottery tickets and cigarettes for everyone!! You can all keep on watching all your Dancing with the faggot stars and wait for your WIC vouchers to come in.

  31. jtditto

    Who fucking cares what color this man is.

    I hope he can do great things for our country.

    All the “great day for America” because we elected a black man garbage needs to end.
    People spewing this stuff are the same people that cheered when the OJ verdict came down.

  32. tc

    Very disappointed at the political comments here. That isn’t what this site is for. I want to see some bigotry, sexism and inappropriate comments. Here is some material to work with.

    - His name is OSAMA BIN LADEN SADAM HUSSEIN BARRACK !
    - He is black
    - He is white
    - He has a strange, asymmetric face
    - Loser’s running mate was a chick

    …now get on with what you are good at, and lets have some deeply insulting, hurtful comments.

  33. Jess

    Thank you. Thank you, America, for giving me hope for the first time in my adult life. Thank you for protecting my rights as a woman. Thank you for realizing that we are in dire need of help. Thank you for seeing through the chirade that was Sarah Palin. Thank you for not validating her.

    Thank you for being the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, and the American public for making it so. I am proud to be an American woman.

    Today is a historic rebirth of this nation.

  34. If his motto this election season was “change” how will he run for re-election? More change?

    We will survive this socialist dipshit, just the same as we survived Clinton. It will definitely suck for the next 4 years, but we will survive.

    I need to remember to unsubscribe from the President’s weekly address. I simply can not stand the sound of that man’s voice. (Setting reminder)

  35. cannuck

    Nopes @ comments for ignorant Americans to just leave to Canada, we like you American’s to stay right where you are. Infact stop sending your kids on spring break up here so they can drink. It’s there’s only so much vomit you can step around in the streets. I was in McD’s the other day, and they ran out of apple pies, it was going to take 5 mins as the others were being made. A guy actually started yelling “I’m a American, and this is an American company, I should get an apple pie before everyone else”. Because of that, none of these ridiculous comments on this page shock me.

  36. Ness

    Well done americans! the whole of ireland is watching and cheering :)

  37. Dirk Diggler

    123- actually, your the moron. Do u even have a job? Probably not, you just want more welfare from real hard working Americans like me, that’s why you voted for Obama and that’s why this country is going to shit, cuz lazy losers like u.

  38. IND

    missjax,

    Before you talk about other people’s ignorance, kindly learn to spell caribou correctly. You are making the rest of the liberals look bad. Thanks!

  39. Kim W.

    I’m relieved that Obama won! He’s inheriting a bus load of problems, but I truly believe he’ll make the right decisions for our country.

  40. Truth doctor

    Although I didn’t vote for him, congrats anyway. Other than a few retards (probably trolls), I think it’s pretty telling how the right is taking this. No threats to move to Canada, and no huge “not MY president” outrage. Maturity – at least 47% of the country has it ;)

  41. James

    Well, I didn’t vote for him, but I think it’s awesome that America has it’s first black President. It sends a great message to other black people that they can be anything they want to be.

  42. Kim W.

  43. T-chan

    HELL FUCKING YEAH!

  44. James

    Damn. I was going to see how long i could go without finding out who the president-elect was (i was aiming for at least a week) but low and behold the glorius tata pictures and penis jokes have been misplaced and real news has snuck into my life.
    I did go 25 minutes into november 5th so… yay i guess.

  45. Sasha

    WOOOOOOOOOO wooow woooowoooowooowooooooo

    This is awesome

  46. Derek

    Wow, a president who isn’t a complete moron! What a concept…

  47. Miaoudeminou

    #129 FTW!

    Yes exactly. GTF out of my country if you have a problem with our future president. Don’t assume that everyone who voted for Obama didn’t do their research. I did my research and guess what? He’s what I wanted in a president.

    Funny how, even though McCain lost, people here can’t just be happy for Obama. I think it’s hilarious that people are STILL saying nasty things.

    WELL GUESS WHAT?!?!?! YOUR MAN LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!

  48. Mike Jonze

    RIP United States. We had a good run, I guess. I, for one, welcome our new Socialist overlords.

    PS – who cares what color someone’s skin is?!

  49. reps suck

    YEAH SUCK IT YOU DUMBASSES WHO VOTED MCCAIN/PALIN. SUCK IT REAL GOODDDDDDDDD.

  50. Dirk Diggler

    130 – couldn’t have said it better myself. Bravo, for being one of the few intelligent people left in America.
