Really, not at all intended that way sorry. Just meant as a congrats to our American friends on an historic day. Whats the wrong with that? But i Will be sure to send any future posts to you for you approval first in future. Maybe i over stepped the mark, even if it was true. edited.

As an American business owner I did not vote for Obama. But you are correct, an historic day indeed! I've never bothered with watching any Presidential Inauguration speeches but I wouldn't miss this one.

History in the making and damn proud to say that we Americans have overcome a huge obstacle of color (not resolved by a long shot, but a big leap forward). Obama and I will agree to disagree on many issues, but I respect the man, his views and his accomplishments. I care about the color of my Squeezebox, not the color of the man.

It is truly sad his grandmother missed this incredible day.

Agreed. Can there please be some small corner of the world where this isn't the only thing being discussed? Over and done people. We're all saved/screwed, depending on your viewpoint - let's talk about something else.

Maybe Logitech should offer to kit out the Oval Office with some music streamers?

Thank you Autopilot for your congratulations, "superficial" though, according to another poster, they may be
One of my first thoughts Election night when the results were certain was, now maybe the rest of the world won't despise us as vehemently!
And why not a stray comment or two on the Slim board about this amazing, historic election outcome? As I listen to my Paris jazz radio station from my home in Virginia I like to pretend we are all one world...and what one does is felt by many.

was this election about electing someone just b/c he's black? i get the feeling that was why a lot of people voted for him, call it the "trading places" effect, borne of white guilt or whatever, and b4 everyone yells at me, think about how many people are focusing on that as a great thing, even in this thread.

frankly, i could care less what color someone is running for office, and i certainly don't want to hear congrats on that basis. what i do want is to get someone in there who is qualified, and i don't think that happened.

but i'm not a hater like so many were on day one of W getting in, i'm willing to give the guy a shot and see where this goes. my hope is that he won't be the ultra partisan free market destroyer i'm afraid he is, but we'll see.

i'm more an issues guy. you want real change? vote in the Fairtax.
