Oh no ... I know that ... if I thought you were serious, I would've likely not responded at all ... apologies for any confusion about that.

Congrats to Barry & his supporters. I have lots of post election thoughts, but I'm too tired & too drinky.

The reality is that no matter who you supported, we will all wake up tomorrow & go on with our lives. Who lives in the White House doesn't really effect us all that much. The last 4 years have been good for me & my Family despite the piss poor job that Barry did, & I expect both conditions to continue.

4 MORE YEARS!!!

I think it is a great sign for this country for an african american man to win a presidential election to a relatively big yawn from the country.

I was fired up for some good rehash of election night on CSFMB, but after the board was down all morning, the feeling has passed.

What'd she say Chas?

That Pres Obama owed the black community for its support and he should pay up. The comments where basically like the KKK discovered how to post to the internet. Why don't you go read it yourself?

There have been plenty of constituencies that were "owed" after an election by president's since pretty much the origin of the republic (Washington probably didn't owe anyone). Evangelicals were the most recent republican group who demanded, and received, special treatment. I refer to them only to place it in understandable terms.

Really awesome photos of the President. He's probably top 3 of people I'd want to have a beer with

Obama says he will sign 23 executive orders relating to this issue today.

He also will ask Congress to pass laws, including ones that would:

– require universal background checks (background checks on anyone who would buy a gun, whether in stores or at auctions and conventions)


– restore a ban on "military-style assault weapons"

– ban gun magazines with capacities of more than 10 rounds

– tougher penalties on people who sell guns to people who aren't allowed to have guns

The 23 orders:

1. "Issue a presidential memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system."

2. "Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background check system."

3. "Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system."

4. "Direct the attorney general to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks."

5. "Propose rulemaking to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background check on an individual before returning a seized gun."

6. "Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers."

7. "Launch a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign."

8. "Review safety standards for gun locks and gun safes (Consumer Product Safety Commission)."

9. "Issue a presidential Memorandum to require federal law enforcement to trace guns recovered in criminal investigations."

10. "Release a DOJ report analyzing information on lost and stolen guns and make it widely available to law enforcement."

11. "Nominate an ATF director."

12. "Provide law enforcement, first responders, and school officials with proper training for active shooter situations."

13. "Maximize enforcement efforts to prevent gun violence and prosecute gun crime."

14. "Issue a presidential memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence."

15. "Direct the attorney general to issue a report on the availability and most effective use of new gun safety technologies and challenge the private sector to develop innovative technologies."

16. "Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes."

17. "Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities."

18. "Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers."

19. "Develop model emergency response plans for schools, houses of worship and institutions of higher education."

20. "Release a letter to state health officials clarifying the scope of mental health services that Medicaid plans must cover."

21. "Finalize regulations clarifying essential health benefits and parity requirements within ACA exchanges."

22. "Commit to finalizing mental health parity regulations."

23. "Launch a national dialogue led by Secretaries Sebelius and Duncan on mental health."

So, he did nothing, in other words.

Most of it is just chaff, some of it may due some good. Just a shame that he didn't have the guts to put this through the actual law making process, that would have been nice.
