This picture is like when I was a little kid, knowing my dad was near. I just feel safer seeing knowing these guys are [going to be] in charge.

Never before has history seemed so grand, yet so wonderfully mundane. Truly the first election the internet won.

So fascinating to see what the Obama team was doing on election night... the same thing I was - right down to the feet up on the coffee table.
These pictures bring real humanity to some of the world's most famous faces, thanks for that.

The braintrust of U.S. socialism. Gun sales are booming today, because many Americans know these two government hacks are going to take away one of their rights.

I feel relieved now and I'm from Singapore. Obama is the MAN, this world needs, and Joe Biden seems to be the perfect next-in-charge.
God Bless this world...

Congratulations, President-Elect Obama.
I liked this serious pose between the candidates enough to re-mix it into an autopainting to give it a "painting look"

Oh how wonderful to know that Obama has the great intelligence to pick the Staff that he has chosen thus far. Barack and Obama what a great pick he chose. The two can do this. Hey this is not me saying this it's what all are saying all over the world. At last we have our Freedom also. Yes I am White, I am Human, I am loved and I love, and my blood runs the same way that all mankind runs. Thank you Obama for Freeing me as well from the ways, and means of Earlier USA and their treatments of Blacks. I am free as well as my other brothers and sisters who are black. We love you Obama GOD loves you too. God Bless Biden and his family as well. Good luck to all your staff and we pray that our world can be truly repaired and shown how to love and get along..

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 Mr. President & your Vice President, Joe Biden. As a Canadian citizen, having grown up close to the U.S./Canada border, I have always been interested in American Politics.The American voting sector has spoken loud and clear...as they did during the Kennedy/Clinton era's..
May your Journey be filled with Success, the sweetness of Joy and Hope for the American people.
God Bless you and God Bless America.
