Talk about a weight being lifted. Look at his face. Great pics by the way.

That's it - I'm using fist-bumps instead of handshakes from now on.
Congratulations!

What a sweet shot of his daughter Malia congratulating him. I love how relaxed and cool they all look upon this monumental news of being elected president. I wonder who's calling on that phone Mrs. Obama is holding...

fantastic capture! it just feels so natural, but i certainly expects more excitement from Obama...like jumping up and down that sorta things...but I guess he has already expected the win well before the results are announced... :D

How does Barack let Michelle have the remote?!? Just kidding. Great pictures of a wonderful moment in history. Both our history and the Obama's.

They just inspire everyone. They demonstrate they are like every family with a mum and dad and beautiful children to cherish.
There would be no space for rumours which had already started, when it begain to say the Obamas had no kids but had adopted. How vicious was that!! I'm glad they have allowed the camera in to their lives. Big up!!

Mr. President-Elect, it is nice to see you here on Flickr. My family and I volunteered for your campaign and election night was one of the most exciting moments ever. Thanks for posting photos here and inviting us to see some backstage moments of you and your lovely family.
From my family to yours, a heartfelt congratulations!

Thank you so much for sharing these pictures, Mr. Katz and *President-Elect* Obama! I started tearing up (again) while looking through these. Thank you for being so open and sharing these personal moments with the world-- things like this truly give me faith that you'll always be looking out for what's in the best interests of the average American.

President Obama,
I am so proud to see this day. May I ask that you please keep us, the American people, in 'the loop' as you have during the election? We would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for being the great man of integrity that you are.
Congratulations. I hope you enjoy your new public housing ;-)
Love and Laughter,
Amy

Who made these pictures from you is a great phoographor but do these pictures would have had the same success if you have not been elected as President, I am wondering !!!! But in any case, I am so happy that you have been elected, all my congratulations. BRAVO et félicitations, vous allez faire un très bon travail avec nous.

Change is not only a word, with you it can be real.
Congratulation

It's the 1st time.

The look on Obama's face is so priceless. What a great dad--he's clearly so wild about his girls.
This whole set is just...well, amazing. Thank you SO MUCH for posting it.

These photos are amazing! November 4th was one of the proudest nights of my life and I'm not even American. I think that's the effect Mr Obama has had on the world - a trully inspirational leader who has shone light onto such a troubled world. Another great American who never got to make it to the office you have achieved once said, 'There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why...I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?' Thank you for dreaming Mr Obama! God bless you and your beautiful family, god bless the United States of America! Rich.
