      I wondered why they all looked so serious in a lot of these. It seems it's because they're watching McCain's speech, and they realize they don't have to take joy in his defeat to enjoy their victory. I can not wait for our country to be led by such smart, classy people.

      I wonder if this was seconds before they won Pennsylvania or Ohio? Great photo

      The other thing to remember is that they just lost a beloved family member. So they might be thrilled at the victory, but I'll bet they're still grieving and also wiped out from the campaign.

      What was achieved on Nov. 4th is truly a victory and in no way should it be seen otherwise within its' right. But not for the same reason it is also the spark which will ignite our constitution doused over the years with the fuel of dwelling liberties by the very people it was designed to protect.

      Seeing these photos really makes you feel like these are your average people, but with a dream they're not afraid to follow. And look what's happened now! :)

      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.

      Great shot! These are cool to see! The American public has made me so proud! The way things were going I was beginning to think public education had failed for sure ;) It is good to see some many people can really think!

      I agree the kids look bored - if i was their age I would be too. :D

      I like the guy on the left who seems to be texting, while giggling. :)
