President-Elect Barack Obama announced last week that he would be posting a weekly address via YouTube to discuss key current issues.  Today, the first of these “fireside chats” was posted on YouTube.  He brings urgency to key issues like unemployment and the failing auto industry.

Thanks Gizmodo!

Apparently, there was a whole lot going on Tuesday night apart from Obama winning the Presidential election.  Apparently, social networking sites like Twitter revealed that not only were people running down their neighborhood streets, but some were expressing some election night passions, giving rise to speculation that maternity wards in blue states would be unusually busy in nine months time.

The phrase “Obama Baby” has already been indentified and defined by Urban Dictionary.

“A child conceived after Obama was proclaimed President by way of celebratory sex, or any baby born under Barack Obama’s term(s),” is the entry.

It helpfully adds an example of its use: “I was born July 2009. I’m an Obama baby!”

Well, guess we’ll be keeping a close eye on the raise in population nine months from now.  You guys think this theory’s going to hold true?

Congratulations to Barack Obama for becoming the next President of the United States!! CNN is reporting that he has won California, giving him the edge needed to break 270 electoral votes.  Virginia has also gone to Obama, giving Barack 297 electoral votes in total so far.

The 44th President of the United States will also be the first Black President of the United States.  Look for Obama to make his speech in Chicago tonight.

The Obama camp just released this clip of Barack and his family heading to the polls earlier this morning and submitting his ballot. Wonder who they voted for? If you haven’t run out to the voting booths, then you should really go do that. Right now. Seriously. Go.

Thanks Bryan for the video!

Hollywood speaks.

When you’re done, send it to 5 friends and tell them to send it to 5 of their friends.

End of the day, all that matters is that you vote.

“Don’t vote.  Things are fine just the way they are.  Take a look around.  Our world needs a change.  You can be that change.  Vote.  And encourage others to vote.  Grab a poster.  Print it.  Spread the word.  ”

Watch the animations after the jump.

With a week left until the presidential election, it’s important everyone go out and vote and have their voices heard.  This is the most important election for our generation, the generations before us, and the generations that are yet to come.

Everyone has their own opinions on who should be the next President of the United States and we’re not here to pick a side.  Not in this post atleast.  Head over to onevote08.org to learn more about both candidates so that you can make an educated decision on who you think should lead this country.

It’s been eight long years since we last saw the “wassup” boys from Budweiser make an appearance.  Well, they’re back and with full force.  They’ve released a two-minute clip that shows how their lives are affected by the declining economy and everything else.  It doesn’t stop them from staying true to what matters.

Check the clip after the jump.
