      I love the American flag in lights in the background.

      Thanks for sharing this collection of exclusive shots, allowing us a unique insight into what was going on while the Nation and the World held their collective breaths and dared to believe...

      I was just on the other side of that fence. I love the angle of the spotlights, the CNA building, and the Sears Tower just peeking in on the left of the shot.

      I recently became an American citizen and what an exciting event it was, "VOTING FOR THE FIRST TIME AND AT SUCH A HISTORICAL TIME". I also want to thank you for sharing these photos, something that we the general public would never have had a chance to see. I have been in this country (totally legally) for 24 years and have watched all the election nights and have always wondered what must be going on in the candidate's homes? Thanks for providing us this glimpse. I wish my President-Elect Barack Obama all the luck and I am certain he will turn this nation around!!

      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.
