Obama is president. Do you imagine that Jefferson Davis, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson, Strom Thurmond, George Wallace, Jerry Falwell, and Jesse Helms are turning in their graves?

Fallwell for sure, but that's because he's on a rotating platform. Everyone else is probably cool considering that he's as much white as he is black. I wish everyone would chill. By the way, Jefferson was baging a black chick for the longest.

No, they have all fully biodegraded by now
-
No, they had their fifteen seconds of history. They are DEAD AND GONE.
-
No....I believe that with the departure of Bush the other 42 stopped spinning!
-
jesse Helms?? You gotta be kidding... Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and the rest of the Founding Fathers, certainly have already turned... {edit} oh I get it. You're insinuating those people are all racist and would be turning over in their graves because a black man is now president. THOMAS JEFFERSON WAS NO RACIST! If he would be turning over in his grave because of Obama, it wouldn't be because he is black; It's because Obama threatens to attack the US Constitution by expanding the deceptively name "Patriot Act", among other things..

I went up to the cemetary and put my ear to the ground before i told my dad, and i'm sure i heard a few hundred people turning over, besides my dad!

I seriously doubt it. Many were intelligent enough to see the writing on the walls. And as for Thomas Jefferson, the man may have owned slaves, but he was adamantly AGAINST slavery. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson#Jefferson_and_slavery http://afroamhistory.about.com/library/bljefferson_slavery.htm In fact, the first draft of the Declaration of Independence slammed the British for their part in importing slaves to the colonies, but other delegates made him take it out. It was also a topic of debate while the Constitution was being drafted up. A fascinating side note here, as well. Patrick Henry was also against slavery, but predicted that it would be abolished eventually, even if it had to be done by their decendents. <EDIT> And by the way...I could care less if anyone is turning over in their graves over the issue of a black man as President of the United States. It's the 'land of the free and the home of the brave'. If they weren't brave enough to embrace such freedom while they were alive, then they can stay buried in the cold, hard ground and let the rest of us do so.

Roll baby roll!!!!

Turn, turn, turn!

Turn in their graves? Perhaps. I prefer to believe they're watching hell freeze over.
-
Why should they be turning in their graves? Are you suggesting that these great men were racists or what?
