South Korea Has Elected Their First Female Leader

Well, I guess the U.S. isn’t the only country that has voted for change in their presidency recently. It looks like South Korea has opted for a new look to the person that leads their country as well.

And that new face is actually owned by MS. Park Geun-hye!

As reported on Yahoo.com:

The daughter of a former military ruler won South Korea’s presidential election on Wednesday and will become the country’s first female leader, saying she would work to heal a divided society.

The 60-year old conservative, Park Geun-hye, will return to the presidential palace in Seoul where she served as her father’s first lady in the 1970s, after her mother was assassinated by a North Korean-backed gunman.

With more than 88 percent of the votes counted, Park led with 51.6 percent to 48 percent for her left-wing challenger, human rights lawyer Moon Jae-in, giving her an unassailable lead that forced Moon to concede.
An elated Park reached into the crowd to grasp hands of supporters wearing red scarves, her party’s color.

“This is a victory brought by the people’s hope for overcoming crisis and for economic recovery,” she told supporters at a rally in central Seoul.”

It looks like the cries for change in political structures are being heard across the world. Congratulations goes out to Ms. Geun-Hye. I pray she has a successful 5-year presidency!

God knows she wil need all of the prayer she can get while trying to negotiate peace with

Some Conservatives May Not Survive President Obama’s Re-Election

You ever wonder what would happen to the majority when they slowly became the minority and were outnumbered, outvoted, and overruled? 

Well, America’s November 6, 2012 re-election of President Barack Obama may have been all that’s needed to find out. 

Check out some of the bizarre reaction some rather vocal GOP Conservatives are having to the election results:

1. Obama’s Hired, But You’re Fired

Some of the nation’s CEOs took their frustration out on their employees. Robert Murray, CEO of the coal company Murray Energy, responded to the election by reading a prayer to his employees and then laying off 50 of them. Papa John’s pizza CEO John Schnatter, a donor to Republican loser Mitt Romney, announced that franchise owners will likely have to cut hours for employees in order to pay for the president’s health care law. And Zane Tankel, a New York-based Applebee’s franchisee, said he would halt plans to expand his 40-restaurant empire because the health care law would cost him too much.

2. Burying Gold On The Ranch

Over the weekend, Reuters reported on an emerging job description for a number of financial advisers throughout the country: talking their wealthiest clients off the ledge in the wake of Obama’s win. John Burke, a New Jersey-based financial strategist, described some of the small business owners he works with as “inconsolable.” Houston-based adviser Scott Tiras said a client wanted to turn his assets into gold before the election and bury it in multiple places on his ranch. Tiras managed to talk him out of it, but after the election the client was evidently “too upset to talk about it.”

3. Riots And Racial Slurs

Election Day turned ugly by nightfall at a pair of southern universities. Hundreds of students gathered at the University of Mississippi to riot after the race was called for Obama. Some students hurled racial slurs and burned Obama campaign signs. Eventually local police got involved. There was a similar scene at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia where threats of violence and epithets from about 40 students followed Obama’s win. The chancellor at Ole Miss promised a full investigation, and the next day the more dovish segment of its student body staged a candlelight vigil in response to the election night protestors.

4. Four More Years: S.O.S

A Florida man  said he started to display the American flag upside down the day after the election because he believes “this country is in distress.” Meanwhile, a man in Texas did the same. Both are veterans, but people in their towns have responded to the gestures with anger. The presentation is never permitted under U.S. Flag Code “except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.”

5. Are You There, God? It’s WND.

A post-election screed from attorney Larry Klayman was deep in the fringe, even by conservative website WorldNetDaily’s standards. Under the blaring headline “GOD HAS A BIGGER PLAN!,” Klayman searched for divine interpretation of a second Obama term. A Romney victory, he wrote, would have deceptively led the Republican Party to the conclusion that “a Moses had appeared to deliver us out of the Egyptian-like bondage we find ourselves in – thanks to our ‘Mullah in Chief’ and his growing voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others who last Tuesday cemented his destructive hold on the White House and our country.”

6. Lamest Secession Attempt Ever

A GOP official in Texas last week called on his state to separate from the rest of the country and the “maggots” who helped secure a second term for Obama. Meanwhile, semi-anonymous petitions began circulating online for 19 red states to secede. But two prominent conservatives, Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) and RedState founder Erick Erickson, called on the wannabe secessionists to end their struggle. “We here at RedState are American citizens. We have no plans to secede from the union,” Erickson wrote on the website. “If you do, good luck with that, but this is not the place for you.”

Because my mother taught me that if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all, I can’t really post my true thoughts. But, at the end of the day GOPers, the PEOPLE voted and Mitt Romney, YOU ARE NOT THE PRESIDENT. I mean do we need to get Maury Povich with an index card to yell it out for you on national TV.

And in case there’s some confusion, he won both the electoral and popular vote…I’m just sayin’!

Election Results

Candidate	Popular vote	Percentage	Electoral votes (270 to win)
Barack Obama	62610717	51%	332
Mitt Romney	59136717	48%	206

Get over it people, President Obama won! Keep it moving, there’s nothing else to see here! Now let’s all work together to get this country back to where it needs to be!

Or Better Yet…
