I'm so happy right now; I keep crying tears of joy! What a momentous occasion this is. It's hard to believe it's true!

Guess I should grab my ankles and quit my job. The former in preparation, the latter so I can get ready to collect my welfare check. I'll let all of you pay for it!

Congratulations.

Let's just hope we all made the right choice...that the Obama Nation doesn't turn the "O" into an "A".

It's going to be an interesting four years.

Look, from my perch up North I'm not expecting miracles. At best, the careening trainwreck
created by the last 8 years, and the damage it will continue to cause, may be
mitigated.
Barack is human, not the second coming. Still, seems like a DAMN good choice you folks
made.

Christ almighty, after the last election the rest of the world was beginning to question your collective IQ's/ability to read a ballot.

Sorry, had to get that off my chest. Your Country, your choice.

McCain gave a very class concession speech.

I hope it is taken to heart by all those who did not vote for Obama.

NC is within a few thousand votes of going Obama....PLEASE let us go Obama. I want to see the last four years of me supporting Obama count.

Willravel

Agreed, DC. It was a very noble speech.

And Congratulations my fellow Americans.

I also feel bad for McCain. I think he's a fundamentally good person, and his place in history has been marred the last 8 years by the effect Bush has had on him. Both from losing the primary in 2000 through losing this election on a Bush Referendum.

Sad one has an 8 year presidency (regardless of how bad it was) and the other is a footnote in a historic setting for the Nation.

Thank Jeebus.

Ignoring legitimate criticism and allowing worshipful followers and a fawning media to shout down all opposition?

Most definitely, this Canadian is quite sympathetic. I think he is a good man, who was relatively socially liberal and recognized things like environmental issues while standing up against "evil" nations;
also, he has certainly sacrificed for his country. But the Bush stigma was just too strong. Ah well, I think Obama is the stronger candidate for rebuilding. Good luck with the next 4 years!

Yes. Quite quality. I was impressed. His speech writers had clearly seen it coming, hehe.

All you conservatives: This is exactly what the conservative party needed. With this new incentive to provide more clear deliniation between the right and left, maybe by 2012 we will have an actual conservative make it through the primaries, instead of just someone slightly right of center.

ratbastid

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Very very, yes.

This is just wow.

Good on you guys. I didn't think I'd ever see an African-American president.

Anyone else worried that when he got to the end of his speech he was going to make a little Freudian slip at the "God Bless America" part?
