This Thanksgiving is a little more special
for Democrats.

I don't usually get too overly excited over certain holidays. The best part for me is getting all the family together. This Thanksgiving, though, we really do have something extra to be thankful for, especially if you're a Democrat. Just think about it....

We've got a great man, a Democrat, Barack Obama, we can be thankful for

We've got 8 years of positive CHANGE to look forward to that we can be thankful for

We can be thankful that the world is already starting to view us in a more positive light, and it will only get better after Obama restores the dignity and respect to the United States that Bush has taken away

We've got NO MORE BUSH in the upcoming 8 years that we can be thankful for

We can be thankful that we'll have no more broken remotes or holes in the wall that need fixing every time the Bush shows his face on our TV screens.

Oh, and last but not least, we can all be thankful that we've still got the brainless wonder, Sarah Palin, to keep us entertained for what looks like at least the next few years.

Yup, lots of extra things to be thankful for if you're a Democrat.

1. yay! good assessment, mtnsnake!

We all deserve a nice holiday.

We were saying here how the market seems to react positively when Obama speaks. So that's a cool thing- folks are looking forward to a sane and thoughtful hand on the tiller.

6. Only you could hijack a Thanksgiving thread & make it about the Clintons
especially when my post didn't even mention the Clintons. Wow!

17. You are talking about spamming threads?
When was the last time before this that you cared about the comment being relevant to the topic in the OP?

10. Was that really necessary on this good post.
We know you are pissed, can't you just keep it in your multiple posts letting us know just how pissed off you are?

13. Seriously, you need help
Consider a shrink for your very unhealthy obsession with all things Clinton. You just linked to your own thread on a thread that is supposed to be about how many things we have to be thankful for. Your dumping on it is just more evidence that you are unhinged.

9. I intend to raise a glass twice on Thanksgiving...
Once for President Obama, and once for the end of a long nightmare. It will be a good day.

12. Thank you, mtnsnake..for bringing this
to light. It is the best Thanksgiving ever in my life. I'm flying to Portland, Ore on Thanksgiving Day at the invitation of my daughter and her fam. My son and his wifey are going to be there from Kaua'i, too. We're all celebrating the Global Victory:fistbump::patriot::party::kick:

19. there's so much....
to be thankful for.....

Yesterday, I was out and about, and in a slightly fearful space
because I am currently unemployed and jobs are slim...
when someone said...there's so much to be thankful for this year..

really helped change my frame of mind...

survived life threatening heart attack in March...thankful, check!
completed my Masters Degree in November....thankful, check!
have $ for fine Thanksgiving dinner to share with loving family...thankful, check!
the person I worked for is President-elect...thankful, check!

It helps to keep things into perspective.
