Yesterday americans turned a page in their and in the world's history.
For the first time in my life I saw the whole world united against a president.
It was like cutting out a tumour,a nasty tumour.
The whole world should means something.
For those who is thinking oh my god he's black ,let me tell you something =
BY BRAINS FOR GOD SAKE !
Before Bush everybody wanted to live in USA,it was the most adored place but Bush made americans look like the worst people on planet!
White,black,yellow,red,purple it doesn't matter cause ANYTHING is better than Bush.
Obviously Obama won't do everything he said cause you know,he's a politician but still
thank god the world is free of those MOTHER ****ERS!
Now USA will be back to a place everybody want to live and we all hope the end of that stupid and nonsense war.
I was watching tv last night and thinking I can't believe some brainless people still want Bush !
How could this be ?
Americans the whole world is applauding you !

The main reason Obama won?

Whatever, he's charismatic, young (why can't he be 'the youngest US president' instead of 'the blackest US president'?), intelligent, articulate, and progressive. Most importantly, he bears no resemblance whatsoever to Dubya. I'm probably excited about a US election for the first time ever, and I'm impressed to finally see the democratic process in action rather than the usual ho-hum attitude adopted on polling day.

At the same time, I feel a bit sorry for McCain, who is reputedly a truly decent man. It's a shame he was seen as filling Dubya's shoes. Anyway, he should be enjoying his retirement

In one fell swoop we have made the divide in our country that much smaller. We have gained the respect of the world by looking at a black man and only seeing a man. Now all men who are created equal can look at each other and stand as equals. United we now stand, fore divided we had fallen. There is a reality to all things in this new chapter of American history.

What we have racially been battling for years is not erased, but lightened up a bit. As a result now, all parents regardless of race, creed, or color can look into the innocent and hopeful eyes of their beloved children and defiantly cry out that "Yes you can", and not only can you, but now you are expected to!!!

Thank you America and all her children for making possible everything to everyone! If this sounds like a pat on the back it is, because now we deserve it...

i'm happy of the result!
and i'm happy that he is so young!
here where i live we have all old grampas governing us...

now let's see how things will change...(for better i hope)

screamndemon69 · #37 11-05-2008, 09:24 AM

I think this is a big step in our country to have our first black president but I can only hope his inexperience or color isn't our undoing. We are only seeing the tip of the iceberg in financial difficulties in this country and with NO experience and seeing who he has surrounded himself with, I'm personally frightened. I have hope but I am scared none the less.

We, in general, have spent many years living beyond our means as a country and as a population, this won't be fixed in a 4yr term no matter who won the election. Heaven help us.

I think there's one Bull in Kogelo who's going to be very very very upset about this news...

Apart from that, I am happy, I remember sitting in a bar somewhere in the US watching the election result and just feeling horrified at another 4 years of bush.

It really does feel like a new dawn, and everyone over here I have spoken to really believes and feels the same.

He has some great people surrounding him (Warren Buffett, Wesley Clarke, Colin Powell has offered his support, etc...). Why be scared? I feel much safer with him than with someone who said that the economy was sound a few days before the bottom fell out.

Many claimed that Obama is inexperience in running a country or to be the commander in chief. But the way he ran this election campaign, one can safely say that he is well organised, intelligent and very charismatic indeed. No one would thought that he would pull this one off with a landslide victory. All odds were against him, but still managed to overcome everyone of them. Thats just to show the attributes that he has and his perserverance to help middle class America. He is really special. America is in safe hands...

I was trying to find the names of those who were part of his campaign (financial advisors) and see if they are also the ones who will be with him during his term, but no luck, yet. Three of them were cooking books for Fannie Mae and other financial institutions and have had federal indictments against them.

I definitely don't want to rain on anyone's parade, time will tell. I hope for the best and am optimistic for the future but I'll NEVER trust a politician, EVER.

Congrats to Americans and the WORLD.

It is a day that is long in coming.. one where I can actually be proud to be an American. And know without question that people worldwide absolutely feel the same. It's sort of sad some Americans don't get it yet but they will. Change doesn't come easy to some, even when it's inevitable.

I actually expect Barack to the be most inspirational and effective president in half a century (JFK)... glen

We know you're scared... you're showing a total disconnect... it's ok. If you weren't scared since Kindergarten then your head must have been buried in the sand.

In my lifetime I can only recall a string of presidents unworthy of the position... a combination of stubborn, stupid, out of touch, uncaring or whatever... each with a major personality defect unfit to lead our great country.

Nixon. Impeached criminal, liar & of course War Monger.

Ford. not elected, typical politican pardoned his friend (nixon).

Carter. Wet dishrag who bent over for OPEC and couldn't figure out which helicopters to use to rescue hostages.

Reagan. Hollywood buffoon who delegated away everything while sleeping thru staff meetings. His era of hands off gluttony ended last night. Finally.

Bush1. Ultimate out of touch flip-flopper, and proud of it. "read my lips no new taxes". Went to Kmart and didn't know what a bar scanner was at checkout. Didn't have the sense to pretend he did.

Clinton. Slick willie, charasmatic hick and charter member of "good ole boys network" with sex addictions & zero accountability of staff.

Bush2. War criminal, megalomaniac & terrorist

Besting this collection is not a large feat. That said we all should expect much more from Barack ...glen

wow...

callen3615 · #45 11-05-2008, 11:00 AM

I think glen is a bitter, gun clinging, republican!

lol! But seriously they are what they are.. they are our leaders, and they are POLITICIANS! It may be a shock to some of you but Presidents actually are VOTED IN, some people thought that they were good leaders.(at some point in time) Im sure Obama will be perfect in every way for the next 4 years... I may not be a huge Obama supporter, but now we might as well all support him and pray he makes good decisions.
