My Status update that said “I wonder if Obama haters will admit it if he does a good job?” has received 95 comments as of now. I think that may be a record, thanks to a fan I was able to compile this list of random “friends” facebook status updates from the last few hours since Obama’s win. The names have been removed and I would love it if you could pick out the ones you like best, or tell me about some good ones you may have seen.
Best status updates from Facebook after the Obama win:
Thinks people read and watch fox news to much and do not understand what the president does and does not do.
is happy I live in Israel.
is disappointed McCain lost but can’t help but be moved by proud, joyous emotion that this great country will have a black president.
thinks that a secular society should be governed by secular principles and that the struggle for marriage equality is not over.
That’s Mine: wonders if Obama haters will admit it if he does a good job
R.I.P. The United States of America ~ 1776-2009.

The last one is very yechi-esk. Hilarious.
here’s two from my friends list:
Oh BTW, Obama’s gonna raise taxes so he can afford to give us black folks our much deserved reparations. PAY UP!
Don’t worry white people. We’re not gonna reinstate slavery or take away your right to vote.
is wondering when obama will get assassinated? nothing against him but its true!
if Obama wants to be an effective leader, he’s gonna have to keep Nancy Pelosi in her cage.
I mean four.
Some of these really, really scare me. People are so delusional … and uninformed … and that’s what’s wrong with this country.
But hey, mine got included
Here are some of mine:
…is thinking that it is going to be a long 4 years.
…woke up and realized he wasn’t dreaming. We really DID elect a guy named Hussein last night!
…is whats this world coming to???????
Dear America, What were you thinking???
…ch-ch-ch-changes.
…doesn’t know what to expect.
…is pissed and getting passports for the family this week.
…is not so happy with america right now.
…says its all over … pack your bags.
…is sorry to hear that Obama will be our next president
.
…is not into socialism…
…is forming his own country. Who wants to be President?
..is depressed and scared for his country. Socialism doesn’t work.
The best is the fact that I’ve been hearing from my racist friends for months about how Obama is going to invite Iran to bomb Israel and then give all the land to the Palestinians, but today they are all saying “MOVE TO ISRAEL!” Wouldn’t that be suicide if what you’ve been saying all along is true?
My favorites from my friends:
yay obama hes our man if he cant do it, then lets hope to christ Sarah Palin doesnt run in 2012.
is dissapointed that there were no riots….bummer. (This is from my brother. Great guy, no?)
is looking on the bright side. Current chances of HRC ever becoming president: zero.
is moving to canada.
(Which she immediately followed up with:)
is get ready for higher taxes.
(So does she admit that there are higher taxes in Canada, or is she staying here?)
is reminding you that… “Even if you are in the midst of great suffering, do not give up hope”(Pirkei Avos 1:7; Rashi)Hashem knows what He’s doing…just pray!
is happy he doesn’t have to move. I DID IT YEARS AGO SUCKERS.
(My other brother, who followed up in the comments:)
no im just happy i dont have to live in the socialist states of america. i am soooo much better off in the socialist state of israel. oh wai.. DOES NOT COMPUTE
But I was actually quite proud of my Facebook friends. I refused to check it while the results were coming in, because someone was telling me how horrible the comments were on her Facebook, but when I did check, it was mostly a long line of celebration.
If Palin is a real “maverick” will she run for Prez in 2010?
My facebook status is
… welcomes our new alien overlords.
You missed mine:
Nemo thinks the founding fathers would be ashamed .. but they’re dead, right?
I really don’t think that anything is going to change. Just because the Dems control everything doesn’t mean it won’t be politics as usual.
I hear its time to burn the wigs again:

…says the situation in america reminds me of the proverbial fan!!! and knows abraham lincoln is rolling in his grave crying.
You guys know Abe Lincoln was racist. The only reason he issued the emancipation proclamation to punish the southern states. It didn’t free any of the slaves in border states or areas under union control.
Wow. So … does any of this make slavery okay? No, I don’t think so.
And someone having pride in their families slave-owning past? Disgusting.
Chavi I am amazed as you are…
No I know. I just think its funny people raise him up as the great liberator. I wrote a whole paper in AP US History during high school about how Lincoln was a racist. My neosocialist teacher loved it.
Oh man. I just read the post from the nutto about his slave owning family. Mine was not at all related to that outburst.
Whateva….
wonders if Obama haters will admit it if he does a good job
You mean, if he lowers taxes, reduces the size of the government (gets rid of ministry of energy, commerce, education — for starters), reduces amount of regulation and involvement of government in economy and our personal lives, makes a strong defense of our interests internationally and of those of our allies (namely, Israel), privatizes medicine, education, help to the elderly, abolishes welfare, abolishes agencies like FDA, abolishes minimum wage, stops interfering with global trade, encourages Second Amendment (and the rest of Bill of Rights — Eight Amendment in particular), starts on his way to abolishing income tax, invades Mexico?
If he does or attempts to do a small portion of these things and doesn’t do some of the opposite, I will not only agree that he’s done a good job, but will personally praise him right and left and support him in multiple ways. Unfortunately, he outright promised to do the opposite. So, assuming he is not a liar (although, I’d take a liar over a socialist), chances of him “doing a good job” are very slim. On the positive side, he probably won’t be allowed to mess things up too much, considering his track record in convincing even his Democratic buddies to pass anything.
If you mean by him “doing a good job” that economy will (eventually improve) and foreign powers won’t nuke the crap out of us and our allies, then this will happen despite his efforts, not because of them (unless, again, he does some of the above). When somebody pulls a hand-break, and the car continues to roll, it rolls despite the break, not because of it. Laws of Nature cannot be violated so easily.
You know who else was a racist, or rather, hated on the Jews?
Ulysses S. Grant.
But he’s still remembered as a great leader, eh?
Feh. I’m disappointed in a lot of people right now.
Really? Hmm I forgot about that one.
People need to stop freaking out. I didn’t vote for him, but he is only the president. Its not like he’s even in congress anymore. He’s a figure head leader type of person. Congress makes the laws and change in this country..
Shevers — I think you’re right actually. We elected a queen (meaning, a figure-head). Curiously enough, in Russia, the system also started resembling UK (or Israel) — the head of the government doesn’t do anything; all the power is in the hands of Prime Minister.
On the other hand, a country does need a singular strong leader (whatever his position is called), at least to represent our affairs internationally — and right now we don’t have that. Even Joe the Senator himself nearly admitted as much.
And he’s a well spoken leader at that. Anyone who would have gotten elected would be doing the same thing anyways: damage control.
At least I won’t have to hear anymore liberal conspiracy theories for the next four years.
… is waiting to see our president on the front lawn of the white house on sundays, waxing his caddy.
Oh! and the shiny hubcaps on air force one.
My husband’s was: Avi would like to congratulate all his American friends on rejoining the Civilized world
People should calm down we don’t have a monarchy
We just could not take 4 years of McCain saying, “My friends” in that reedy irritating style of his.
And Barrack had campaign buttons with Hebrew characters! http://pr1ss.blogspot.com/2008/11/lightnng-illuminates.html
you’ve got 3 of my statuses (stati?) up there…
Socialized law, Woodrow Wilson, Dial back to the 70.
I’m glad to have provided some entertainment today!
I have a very diverse group of friends…
- would be happier if Hitler was president because at least Nazis are afraid to die.
- affirmative action better be over!!! I swear when I apply to Med school this June, The term “Unrepresented Minority” better seize to exist. That’s all im saying.
- doesnt think anyone will say racism when jews become the next target…so shove your obama “change” and hope youll be around for when moshiach comes NOW!!!!!
- is upset that we lots some battles, but thrilled that we won the war! Let’s go change America!
- just got the best love advice from her mama “wait till he is in a tent and trapped, and then you can act like a crazy..till then, be polite hunny”.
- bets anything that Sarah Palin’s suit still has its tag and is going right back to Neiman’s tomorrow.
- is wondering why California cares more about animal rights than human rights.
- is still waiting for Facebook to crash… well so it was either Obama or a lenscrafters model, either would have been groundbreaking.
-is wondering, now that Obama is president will they serve chitlins and collard greens in the White House?
I wasn’t kidding about that road trip. Currently, trying to hunt down a place to stay (hotels completely booked). My 6 year old Obama kiddie wouldn’t go to bed on Tuesday until she heard he won.
After reading this it’s clear that the problem for Frum Jews in America is not President Elect Obama in the slightest – it’s Frum Jews. When Frum Jews are making the same jokes – and threats – as the KKK, then we’re really in trouble. ShNg or not, take a look at who you’re getting in bed with.
The real joke is that ever since Pres-Elect Obama asked Modern Orthodox and hardline Pro-Zionist Rahm Emanuel to hold the highest post as Chief of Staff, the Muslim blogs have been going crazy with anti-Zionist vitriol. Only time will tell if he will be good for the Jews.
But, right now, we can start being good for the Jews. A Frum Racist is an oxymoron – a gantse ocksen-idyot, for those who need the Yiddish translation.
The President is going to need to make someone happy so just maybe we Jews should grab a clue and decide it’s going to be us.
Funny that the Muslim blogs are ranting about Emanuel. Over at Vos Is Neias they are busy bashing Emanuel too.
I hate both ignorance and racism and the amount of both that I have seen displayed in the frum community regarding Obama is sickening.
Comments and Facebook statuses like “is very busy calling his friends in the IDF… Maybe, just maybe one of the snipers he knows can pick off Nobama.. **crosses fingers**” are an absolute disgrace.
For all of those who’ve been threatening to move to Israel or Canada or whatever utopia of your choosing – please, go, we’re short on jobs and space here anyway…
The anon above is me, using a different computer than usual…
I agree with chanief. I am absolutely embarrassed by the frum community’s response to this election. And these Facebook statuses are a great example of that. It is one thing to oppose a candidate because of a legitimate difference of opinion on the the issues. But these comments just make frum Jews look ignorant and petty.
Thank you Marooned, that’s what I say to people – if you didn’t want to elect him because of where he stands on the issues, that’s fine and respectable; but if you didn’t/don’t want him because he is black or because you’ve heard ridiculous gossip about him then you’re just a fool and there’s nothing to talk about.
It never ceases to amaze me that jews, who have faced such persecution and anti semitism, would not afford ANY other human being the respect they deserve, especially minorities.
Their behavior delegitimizes anyone who actually votes on issues…
EZEKIEL 38: 1-20
Defriend them. Ha.
I’ve been hearing some complaints now from the same people who said that Obama=Hitler, Rahm Emanuel is “too pro-Israel”.
Firstly I am HONORED that my status got included even tho it was very lame…
Secondly I am not condoning racism but i thought this one was funny
“Obama= Change=Come Help A N**** Get Elected!”
Emanuel wsa the one who orchestrated the handshake bet Rabin & Arrafat- he is very pro palestine so wait and see how bad he will be for Israel…
Also btw they totally preached in BY that we should be racist (albeit maybe not verbally)…
Hey Jenn,
Of course you’re not racist. All the folks in Hy***town hanging out with the C*k*s who think you’re trying to J*w them down don’t think you’re racist, either, and neither are they!
Have a great day!
P.S. Your horns are just gorgeous!
Mine was: …is proud that this country has come so far. We all won tonight.
And I stand by it! Get over it- he’s our President. Eight years of Bush was enough!
On facebook me & my friends r continueing a comment convo of over 200 comments & it’s still goin so if 95’s the record we beat it like a few days ago
I was working on a research project and stumbled across this web page with all these comments and I have realized one AMAZING concept, the people that bitch the most (obama supporters or not) have nothing better to do with their life but sit on a comment board and tell everyone else how wrong they are. You cannot change the president, he is here now, nor can you pretend he is god, he is not.
Why don’t you get off your fat asses and do something productive like vote, or watch the news and know what the hell you are talking about before you say it.
K Thanks!!
