Nice shot. They are showing far more class than those who booed at them. McCain's concession speech was probably the best I've ever heard, very gracious and genuine.

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.

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.

This is an amazing photo. I've been watching this photostream for as long as it has been around and this last set has made it worth it 10 fold. What an amazing thing to be able to see what was happening as history was made. Wonderful wonderful

Something interesting...notice how Barack pretty much has the set to himself while everyone else is watching from a ridiculously acute angle? Just kinda interesting....

Wow what a wonderful shot. We need someone who is humble and a great listener. McCain made a very gracious concession speech. The best I have ever seen him give. It was heartfelt. For thos people booing, shame on you.The people have spoken. Let us try to work together to restore this great country of ours.
For the blogger who thinks we are counting the chickens before they hatch is absurd. We are simply elated, and giving our congratulations to the best candidate and the peoples choice. I am not in all of McCain supporters face and bragging. I am just happy that I was able to see this come about in my life time. Wonderful just Wonderful.

Good Luck Mr President elect Obama, This is a Powerful Moment for America. I'm so proud to be living in this time peroid.
I feel America is in good hands now.
And I'm sure glad the elections are over, it was so stressful..lol
I love all the photos,
Maya Angelou has a poem that a friend of mine said fit this moment it's called: Still I Rise..I agree with my friend.
I'm looking forward to January 20th.
Peace and Love

That's great, I wonder what must have been going through his head at that moment!

I wonder what was going through Obama's mind. Imagine having all those emotions, the satisfaction, and the relief going through your head all at once.
