Here was a post I wanted to do last week, but with the whole "moving to a new city" ordeal it had to be moved back a little. This is a collection of how some prominent people reacted to the Obama right after it happened, enjoy!

First, the Young Turks is what I was watching, so this is what I saw, either way this is a real time reaction.


On November 5th the 43rd President, George W. Bush spoke about the Obama Victory.


Next is former Republican Secretary of State Colin Powell.


And Current Republican Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice.


Sticking with Politicians here is Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi speaking the Day after.


How about the Rev. Jesse Jackson.


Still with the African-Americans, PBS Host Tavis Smiley.


Fox News Commentator Juan Williams teared up while giving his analysis after Barack was named.


Oprah, of course was well documented on Election Night, CNN caught up with her in the crowd.


Speaking of Oprah, she had Will Smith on after the win and here is his reaction.


Those are interesting, but let's take a break to hear Lil O'Reilly's reaction.


Internet Phenomenon Ron Paul opted to speak on with Conspiracy Theorist Alex Jones on the day after the Election.


How about the Ladies of the View, Sherri Sheppard teared up a little.


Here is a little celebrity comment montage from CNN including an interview with Michael J Fox who is obviously excited at the prospect of Stem Cell research booting back up.


How about the Rap Community? Busta Rhymes perhaps?


How about the Sport Community? Here is Lebron James reaction.


Larry King had a whole show with Reactions the night after the Election, In this clip we see Bill Maher with his first reactions, following Bill is Magic Johnson.


Might as well continue with Part 2 of this special, in this clip - Michael Moore, More Jesse Jackson and believe it or not Pat Robertson...which gets cut off, don't worry Part 3 is below, but he mostly speaks about Palin.


Part 3, Once Robertson is done speaking King lands and interview with Martin Luther King III.


How about the Redneck reaction.


ah yes and how can I forget! the TDS Gang Reaction.
First Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert announcing it.


and the whole crew showing up

October 21, 2008: Moment of Zen - Drive-Through Voting

Here is a portion of Today's Daily Show, I thought this segment needed its own Post.
Jon Stewart is really upset with some things that Sarah Palin said...lets listen to what she said first. Or just skip to the third clip down and you'll hear it straight from Stewart, along with his profanity laced response.



October 20, 2008: Pfriend or Pfoe?
Jon Stewart touches on Powell's endorsement, and Nancy Pfotenhauer..who I believe is only on the campaign because of her non google friendly name. Ah.. and Sarah Palin gets a good BOO from the crowd here. over her "Real America" comments. The scary republican woman trifecta is complete when Stewart touches on Michele McCarthy Bachmann.


You think Jon Ripped into here in this clip...he's got a big "Fuck You" for Palin in this sketchy clip caught on a cell phone camera as he spoke in Boston...Huffington Post provided the transcript.

"She said that small towns, that's the part of the country she really likes going to because that's the pro-America part of the country. You know, I just want to say to her, just very quickly: [expletive] you," Stewart said to raucous applause.

Palin addressed a North Carolina fund-raiser Thursday night saying, "We believe that the best of America is not all in Washington, D.C. We believe...that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, very pro-America areas of this great nation."

The comment was quickly picked up by media outlets and the Obama campaign, whose spokesman Bill Burton asked in an e-mail to reporters, "What part of the country isn't pro-America?"
...
"I can't take it anymore...After eight years of this divisiveness, we're back to this idea that only small-town America is the real America," he said.

This clip caused quite a stir at the Weekly Standard, William Kristols publication, Jon Stewart addressed this controversy at the end of the show. Your Profanity meet My Profanity: "Fuck all of you!" Gotta love Jonny!

October 20, 2008: Governor Palin Clarification

Here is the latest Daily Show for October 20, 2008!

City boy Jon Stewart took great offense to Palin and Republicans dividing the American by talking about how small towns are "Real Americans". You can watch that segment here.



October 20, 2008: Intro - Eugene Jarecki's New Book


October 20, 2008: Quiz: Are You a Real American?


October 20, 2008: Understanding Real America in Wasilla
This is a Golden Clip, Jason Jones visits Wasilla, this is the Second Jason Jones Wasilla sketch, the last time it was to watch the VP Debate at a pub with Wasillians. This time he speaks with the current Mayor of Wasilla, Dianne M. Keller. A real bright one this lady is, Sarah Palin endorsed her as her replacement when here Mayoral term ended in 2002, NYT even has a photo of them and and article that tells you all about it.

Sarah Palin sided instead with Dianne M. Keller, a religious conservative and an ally on the City Council. Ms. Keller won.

October 20, 2008: Eugene Jarecki
Why We Fight director Eugene Jarecki on his new book.

One of the most under appreciated comics...Louis CK, I'm up, so I decided to find some of his greatest clips, for your entertainment..of course.

A. CK on Conan
Here is Louis CK in a recent interview with Conan O'Brian. He rants about how kids complain these days about things like Flying...your FUCKING FLYING..5 Hours to LA, not that long ago it would take 30 years with a chance of dying. Equally funny is how he explains he's a bad father.


(....^is it me, or is that YouTube still looks more clear then how they usually look.)

B. 911 Call
I love this clip, I remember it from not that long ago, its one you can picture happening (especially myself who worked in a call center for 4 years) The ending is everything you want it to be.


C. The Catholic Church
Louis CK who was raised Catholic until 10 years old, doesn't know anything about it, so he walked into a chuch and started asking questions. It's also the 2nd highest rated Louis CK clip on VideoSift.


D. Here is is doing a Segment on Comic Relief 2006. Great standup!


D. Finally, Louis CK being interviewed by our favourite... Jon Stewart. This interview is from 2006, there is another from 2007 here..

This should be an interesting show starting inauguration day 2009!

To celebrate I archived the Classic Ferrell/Bush videos on Mahalo.

October 16, 2008: Word War III


See.. in that Clip and if you watched the Debate, Obama explained his association with Ayers, he said laid it out, very simple. Obama and other high ranking people all sat on a charitable board together with William Ayers, who is a reformed radical, who now apparently teaches and does charitable work. BUT just tonight, even after the debate John McCain is still acting like its a conspiracy, its fucked up, he's scaring people into thinking Barack is a terrorist, its the lowest of the low in Politics that I've ever seen in my short life. Here he is on Letterman, talking about Obama and Ayers again as if we "still need answers" what more is there to know? is he waiting for Obama to admit that he's a "secret agent muslim"? what a joke.



October 16, 2008: Joe the Plumber's House
Yes. Joe the Plumber, the Plumber who is actually not a licensed plumber, already owes back taxes, referred to Obama as "Sammy Davis Jr." and who is about $200,000 dollars away from actually being effected from Obama's Tax plan.

October 13, 2008: VP's Troopers & Practical Jokes
Jon Stewart reports on the results of the Sarah Palin "Troopergate" scandal. Yes, she was cleared as she was legally within her right to fire Mike Wooten. She WAS guilty for ABUSE OF POWER.


It seems the only time this chick speaks to media is in "gotcha" settings. This video is mind blowing on so many levels, its very hard to explain, but give it a whirl, this video might be one to remember. Every time I see her dodge a question (which appears to be often) I reminded of how much more she appears to be an Acting Puppet...but for who?



October 13, 2008: Amity Shlaes
