      This is my favorite picture! It's so symbolic. I alwyas knew we would have a president of African decent. but i just didn't think I'd be 22 years-old to see it. Thank You Barack Obama for never giving up you have given us so much hope I cannot explaine. You have opened the doors for many others for years to come. You are in my prayers daily because I can only imagin the pressure that must come with this. I also thank your family for supporting you and all the time they will have to sacrafice being away from you. May peace constatnlty be on you and your family. I'm so excited because I will be able to tell this story for years to come. I hope to meet you and your family one day!!! NC went blue for you!!!! I wish I could say so much more, but being so young, the first thing I thought about was how many slaves suffered how many protesters protested for our equality, the death of Martin Luther King Jr., And for you to bring this race to another starting line is awsome. Many say that your not the first black but you're biracial...truth is for me, if it were 1863 you would've been identified as a black person.

      I am 46 yrs old and I must say that November 4th, 2008 is surely the single greatest night of my life! I have never been more proud of my country! I am proud of Barack Obama and believe he will be one of the single most important Presidents of our country's history. He has already made history for being the first black president and he has made history with his landslide election.....he will continue to do so and the World watches and shares in our overwhelming joy! Here it is the 9th of November of 2008 and I still am on the verge of tears about this! May God Bless Barack Obama, his family, Joe Biden, and his family! We have indeed made a historic change and my God have we turned the world on it's ear!!!! Thank God, Thank God, Thank God for Barack Obama!

      I'm a Youth Leader and teacher and I want to say Congratulations and Yes you did!!! You are a great and awesome first family!! Thank you so much. I pray that God keeps all of you safe in His care and guides you as you lead this country. Be blessed and thanks for accepting the challange. You made us proud! Children everywhere know your name. They will now reach higher and dream bigger. They will work harder because they have a real role model. They have an African American family in the White House.They see you and your family on tv, in newspapers and magazines, and seeing is believing. Our children are our future. You are inspiring the future.

      Dear President Obama

      I produced this as a means of supporting
      your efforts in the quest for world peace.
      I used the images as a means of innuendo.
      .

      The Video is called;

      "Show us the way President Obama"

      I am honored by your win, your presence in
      American politics and your extreme courage
      to change the very fabric of our nation for the
      better.

      The video is here at;

      Love Stan
      A proud American

      P.S. To all others viewing this, it is a
      very strong message and the only way
      to fully understand the intent is to watch
      it all the way through.
      If it is overwhelming, book mark
      and come back later.
      If you think it inappropriate,
      to this I say these people like you
      have hopes, aspirations, dreams, family
      and every single one of them still breathing
      now belong to our new President.

      Congratulations to you and your family. Never in my life time did I think I would see this day in history. I'm also part of it now.

      If only people around the world would make the effort of change in their own countries. I hope your Presidency will make others see that and bring about change globally.

      Peace

      Congradulations to the most wonderful First Family!! Thank you for sharing these pictures! My faith in this country has been restored! I am 41 years old and have never given money to ANY political campaign before your's, Mr. Obama:) I am so proud of you, and Mr. Biden, for running a campaign based on truth and not on fear. My daughter (her 1st time voting) TOLD me not to worry, saying she and her generation had this election in the bag:)
