I can't believe Obama won, this just show to everybody that your dreams can come true, and nothing in hell can hold you from what you want to be in life.

To all the black people... that always say "The White Man Is Holding Me Back." Nobody is holding you back but yourself, the reason you have not is because your lazy, stupid, and don't want to do no good with your life.

Thank God for this day, God showed us that the world can change, and fool on this earth can stop
it.

I have to give big ups to John McCain speech at the end.

This sudden change… made me realize, that I too can my a different in my life and in the world.
I’m making a great change in my life now.

that's wonderful

No can ever hold you back, you are the only person to hold yourself back! That has always been the truth!

Yay!!! Now my taxes will go up to pay for even MORE government handouts!!! What a GREAT country we live in!!!

So true, saying someone else is holding you back is admitting to your own laziness and ignorance. It is time for America to come together for the country and stop making excuses. I definitely believe the best politician won.

I'am happy to be a American especially today. I hope that electing O'Bama can unite us as "one people and one country". This is finally a time when our country can and should put away our differences and be a light of hope and inspire other nations to put aside race and religious differences, and have peace and love for all mankind. We need a leader to bring us all together as human beings and learn to respect and appreciate the environment and all living things. PEACE

a black man in the white house...poetic justice...

It is a great country.

We are so lucky that we are able to help those less fortunate then ourselves.

What is wrong with helping the needy? I'm not a big Obama fan, but this country does need to start taking better care of its own people.

Cool.

Just a wild guess here .... but dontcha think your taxes might go up anyway to pay for that bailout and the kazillion dollar war?

but Obama said he is going to cut taxes

You and I probably don't agree on much as it pertains to politics. I did not cast a vote for President Elect Obama (nor for that matter did I for John McCain) but I respect your thoughts a great deal. I said in another post that I can be proud of this nation and how far we've come (culminating in electing our first African American President) without agreeing with his politics. I stand by that and I agree with you that his being elected is a sign that anyone (regardless of color) can attain and achieve in this nation whatever they are driven to pursue.

I'm not naive enough to believe that his being elected means that racism has been overcome once and for all but I think that when you consider where we were even sixty years ago it would be hard to argue that we have not come a very long way.

If Barack Obama's being elected means that you, like him, can achieve whatever you work hard to attain then his having been elected will (in that way) be worth an incredible amount.

Thanks for a respectful nod to Senator McCain. Regardless on where one stands politically there really can be no doubt that he endured a tremendous amount for this nation, that he sacrificed a great deal during one of the ugliest and most controversial wars ever fought.

Again, nice post.
