Screencap of Yahoo! from 11-5-2008 | NewsBusters.orgVisitors to the home page for the Yahoo! search engine today are greeted with a photo of President-elect Barack Obama from his election night victory speech from Chicago's Grant Park last night and the caption: "First truly global U.S. president."

Beneath the exultant headline and photo, visitors were teased with a link to an article on how the "world" is reacting: "Barack Obama's historic victory inspires global goodwill and celebration."

Ah, yes, the reign of messianic peace and justice has begun! Other election-related links featured below the front-page main story:

Yahoo! celebrates Obama, kicks McCain when he's down

I am a Yahoo! subscriber and have had to put up with its AP nonsense for many years.  This is nauseating, however.  You think Mr. Obama was "the king of the world" after last night!

Negative to the end: To make matters worse, an article about Mr. McCain by the AP kicked him when he was down.  The accompanying photos were no better.  Can't the MSM show any respect at all for the Republican?  Or are they too busy kissing Mr. Obama's rings?

Yet another reason to mount

Yet another reason to mount a strong and effective resistance operation against this evil Marxist and his minions.

Once our rights and freedoms have been taken from us, they will be gone forever.

Resist the Obamatons.

FDR saves the free world (deepened and unecessarily prolonged the depression to give him his due) through negotiations with communists, lend lease programs to circumvent isolationist legislation, mobilizes 10% of our population as active military participants, creates the post war world at Yalta and so we could even be here, and this is the first global prez? Obama has appaeal beyond our borders (maybe more appeal) but the "first" shows not how biased the declaration, but the ignorance of the press.

 

Distrubing?

You think it is disturbing for you. My entire Internet experience is invested in Yahoo! I have been using Yahoo! since I had Internet access. I'm going to try and justify the headline by blaming it on their relationship with the AP. Maybe the AP did it. Yahoo! is just buying APs News Service. Whew. I feel a little better. I can only handle one life altering disaster a week and you know which one I'm going to deal with first. Yahoo! will come next. 

That's like reading Marx to become an entrepreneur.

Yahoo & Google alternative?

Is there a non-liberal funding search engine that is as good as Yahoo or Google? Does it work up in the corner of the Vista toolbar?

Pisses me off how they fund liberal causes. Just like AT&T put $250,000 toward defeating the CA gay marriage proposition. Makes me want to cancel my mobile phone service that I have had for ages on the same company.

M-B

Compromises

Life is full of compromises. Unfortunately there are no non-liberal media outlets. FoxNews uses the AP. I thought SRN would be more conservative, but alas it is not. All these "conservative" news outlets just pass the AP garbage through without any editing. You would think they could take 10 min. and edit out the bias, but nope. They base their conservative credentials on their columnists' credentials. As for alternatives to Yahoo! and Google, don't forget the behemoth in the room Microsoft. Talk about liberals, their home state just approved euthanasia. Hey wait a minute that might be a good thing. Life loving conservatives won't kill off their old, but life hating liberals will now be able to kill offf their infirm as well as abort their mistakes. That should reduce their numbers even faster. There is hope for the world! Now if conservatives are smart they won't oppose the new law and even encourage other liberal states to adopt it. Then the liberals will kill themselves off. Damn my high moral standards. I can't stand by and let them do that even if they want to. I'm sorry were we talking euthanasia or Internet search services?

Yo Yahoo

Obama: World President!

I'm sure the people of Israel are resting comfortably tonight.

Israel? You know, that country that is part of the 'world'?

I was wondering if all

I was wondering if all the American jews who I am sure overwhelmingly voted for Obama are wondering what is going to happen to their spiritual homeland. But all this will be laid at Bush's feet as he is the lame duck who has to deal with the Obama fallout. 

"...no civilization, no matter how rich, no matter how refined, can long survive once it loses the power to meet force with equal or superior force." - Bernard Knox

According to a New York

According to a New York rabbi I heard on Bill Bennet's radio show, the religion of the secular American Jewish people is Liberalism.  They have little concern for the plight of Israel, and they sympathize more with the so-called Palestinians (which is a regional designation, not a nationality) than with the Israelis. 

We will learn a lot

over the next few years. None of this should surprise anyone. Now is the time to sit down and carefully think through your own worldview. Write it down. Determine what your personal values are then fight to protect them from the liberal onslaught that is coming.

 I keep reading about how happy the 'the world' is about this hoodlum. If the world wants him, let him go run their countries so as to stop him from destroying my country.

I demand real change - force a Democrat to speak the truth!

Say what?

"hoodlum"? Seriously?  Racist much?

hoodlum ???

yes ... hoodlum fits. Nothing racist about it, either!

If conservatives are RIGHT, then liberals must be WRONG.

Hoodlum ='s wha???

Wonder why man from outer space believes hoodlum = black?

Hmmmm.

Space man...

Yes, hoodlum. Illiterate much?

I demand real change - force a Democrat to speak the truth!

I was flipping through the

I was flipping through the "news" channels and what I noticed right away was how they love to say that all of America is celebrating...they keep implying that we are one, united, all filled with hope, etc...blahblahblah....excuse me, but almost half the country voted against this...we are NOT all filled with hope, but I see the spin machine is already working on shaping our feelings. Also, the stocks took a dive today...WHAT??? You mean the economy isn't instantly healed because the messiah was elected? And rain for the drought-stricken? and, um, oh forget it. 

Don't forget the non-voters

And don't forget that about half of adult Americans didn't even bother to vote. They're all sitting around complaining that the election is preempting their regular TV shows. And what about the 20 million illegal Americans, err, illegal aliens. Are all of them rejoicing? Maybe not. America might be driven into a depression and that would mean they'd have to go back home to find work. Or since they are the only ones willing to do the tough jobs they will be the only one with income to tax. What about the 150 million children in America? Will they like the communist indoctrination camps that their schools will become? What about the 40 million aborted blobs of cells? And if you're old or infirm, watch out euthanasia is coming soon to a doctors office near you.

'First Truly Global U.S. President'

'First Truly Global U.S. President' ??

How'd he get to be such a great leader?

As Michelle stated in 2004 

YouTube - Obama Hasn't Done Anything Yet

So how'd he do after that?

YouTube - Obama Late To Hearings

Doesn't one have to become president first, and then accomplish a heck of a lot on the world stage before you can have a legacy?

Like a sheep

Let's see Mr. Global President actually lead the world rather than follow the U.N.'s commands like a sheep.  While he's at it, let him collect taxes from the rest of the world. 

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

I thought Clinton was the

I thought Clinton was the first "truly global president" or was it Carter before him? 

Clinton

Clinton was the first Black president. Carter the was the first something I can't say in mixed company.

Mr. Obama, Tear Down These White Walls

Let us not allow Barack Obama to re create the shadow ceiling in his own administration in keeping black leaders out while he is the only black leader in this Obama White House.

Mr. Obama, Tear Down These White Walls

I'm completely taken back by Barack Obama in his first choice of Vice
President picked a white guy and his next big choice is as secular
Jewish Clinton insider in Rahm Emanuel as Chief of Staff.

While Mr. Biden is fixed on the White House ticket, I call upon Mr. Obama to
force Mr. Emanuel to withdraw and instead tear down these white walls
of America as his mandate has shown and appoint the black leaders who
have built the platform for Mr. Obama to be where he is.

Mr. Obama, don't step on these black people, but help them step up to the White House for all they have done for America.

All Americans should demand that the following African Americans will be
appointed to the Obama White House as by blood the Obama lineage is
more white and Arab than black. Let us at this point in history ascend
the shadow ceiling which has kept black people down and out of the
power in this nation.

First, let Mr. Obama appoint John Lewis, noted hero and Congressman as Sec. of Defense.

Jesse Jackson for all he has done the world demands that in this world presidency Mr. Jackson is appointed Sec. of State.
Enough
of these rumors of white guy Chuck Hagel, white guy Dick Lugar, white
guy this and that. This is a liberal victory for Obama and Obama must
appoint the black leadership to lead this nation.

Oprah
Winfrey the woman everyone loves must sacrifice for this world and
accept appointment as United Nation's Ambassador. She can do her
program for the UN daily as Ms. Winfrey is such a world treasure.

Director of Homeland Security, Al Sharpton.

Charles Rangel with his financial expertise must be appointed as Sec. of Treasury to save the world economy.

Whoopie
Goldberg, Ms. Goldberg must be appointed as chief of staff to Michelle
Obama as Ms. Goldberg's media savvy will assist, Mrs. Obama in dealing
with the press and Ms. Goldberg's well noted opinions as express on The
View will educate Mrs. Obama on world events.

Clarence Page to replace Rham Emanuel as White House Chief of Staff.

Marion
Barry to be Drug Czra, who better to keep America safe from illegal
drugs than a man who knows the evils of it and has risen above that
evil.

Randall Pinkson, journalist must be appointed as White House Press Secretary.

Maxine Waters, is well suited in her guiding morality to be White House Counsel to help guide Barack Obama on his mission.

Colin Powell as Ambassador to terror states Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and Syria whose relations Mr. Obama will normalize soon.

All Americans must join in this so that the black American is not
disenfranchised from being awarded for their work in being appointed to
serve in the Obama White House.

America can not have Mr. Obama as the only person of black heritage in the White House.

We must have all of these black Americans serving in this Obama administration.

Rubber Hits the Road

Put up or shut up. I agree. This country needs fewer rich white men in power and more Black liberal hypocrites in positions of power. They think they can solve problems, give them the chance. Since 51% of the population thinks that redistributing the wealth is the way to do it, I think that part of their appointments should be the confiscation of their personal wealth for redistribution. I'd like to add Yoko Ono to the list of appointees. You can decide where she would fit best.

That's like reading Marx to become an entrepreneur.
