GOP Takes The House in Major Sweep. Do YOU NEED US NOW?

Two years ago today a lot of PUMAs including myself were upset because of the injustice that we witnessed during the 2008 Primary between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Two years ago we watched as this man became the 44th President. We PUMAS were boycotting Democrats unless they were loyal to Hillary. We worked our butts off for John McCain or Cynthia McKinley when they lost we felt like we had been slapped in the face. It hurt us because during most of the year he and the entire Democrat-Yes Democrat-Party told us Hillary people that we were no longer wanted in the new Democratic party but big mouth dummy Donna Brizzile.
Personally I don't hang out with people who don't want me around so I stopped hanging with the Democrats and switched to the Republicans. Not one Republican told me he didn't want my vote in fact they welcomed me with Open arms.
Now two years later and after the Dems suffered heavy losses they lost the house and only hold a small majority in the Senate the country sent our Congress and our President a strong message.
Will Barack Obama listen to the American people and work with the GOP or will he just become a lame duck. Will he continue to tell the GOP to get to the back of the bus or will he welcome them with open arms? To soon to tell but if he wants a second term he better remember Tuesday or he and the entire Democrat Party have no hope of surviving. They need to silence Donna Brizzile who offends we PUMAs every time she opens her mouth. They have to prove themselves and get rid of that Health care law. I don't see them trying to do that even though it is Health care reform that ended the careers for a lot of Congressmen and women and Senators.
I hope Obama reaches out to the GOP for the sake of our Country.
I am still celebrating our victory two years in the making.

Number One Sexist Chris Matthews Is Also Racist

http://tpmlivewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/01/matthews-on-obama-i-forgot-he-was-black-tonight.php
What did Chris Matthews the number one sexist mean by he forgot Barack Obama was black tonight after his state of the union address? He was commenting on Obama's being post racial. First of all there is no such thing as Post Racial. There is always going to be racial things and racism. No one would have ever said this about any politican "I forgot he was white tonight." I mean really he didn't seem like a white guy.
Chris Matthews needs to go as soon as possible hopefully people will start giving him hell
I am starting to believe that Matthews is both sexist and racist but he will only pick on the race or gender of people unlikely to fight back. Women have gotten much better in fighting back but because of the election of the first black President African Americans have become more accepting of racism. Not this African American woman.
Note to Chris Matthews there is nothing wrong with being black. I love the fact that Barack Obama has a black inflection in his voice. Do not confuse inflection with dialect because they are no where near the same thing. I don't want BO to be post racial if that means he forgets he is black. I may not like this President but I will defend him when someone makes a racist statement about him. Its funny but I only hear people who oppose him making any stink about this sort of racist behavior.
African Americans we can't go back in time we must continue to speak out against racism no matter rather the people supported Obama or not. How come it is up to the black people who DID NOT support this President to defend him against racism.
Note to Chris Brown "Black is beautiful" and regardless of how much you would like to pretend he is "post racial" he is still black and there is nothing wrong with that.
Chris Matthews your sexism and racism knows no bounds.
