Senator McCain just made his concession speech.
He spoke very eloquently and I liked how he gave his
sympathy to Obama over the loss of his grandmother and
called on Americans to unite.

I left Austin (not willingly) in 1986. I watched (and fretted) as Ann Richards was replaced by GWB (shameful). I cringed when GWB stole the 2000 "election".

And now, I am happy.... I am grateful... I am once again, proud and hopeful. We have much work ahead of us.

Thank You SO MUCH America for voting out a man with no brain, (dangerous !) and voting in a man with intelligence ! Martin Luther's dream of 45 years ago has become a reality ! I speak from the UK, and now Europe and America can look forward to unity once again, and repair the great divide that was GWB ' doing !!

Bless You All !!
I do not have to live in the States to have the country in my heart !

Yes we can? We will see …
First, Americans should throw away their bundles of credit cards, holding no more than one or two, because they are the main reason of this long looming tragedy. The whole US-population has a negative saving ratio of –0,5%, that’s very dangerous. If one here in Europe has nothing on saving account, one cannot afford expensive things.
American people have to change their lifestyle, the extreme differences in income must disappear, then normal owners can save money monthly and consume in a normal and healthy way.
That is what I hope, the majority of the american population will conceive in the near future.
Best wishes.

I am not convinced by all this idolising. It's curious but the US seems to be suffering a massive insecurity complex. Messages like yes we can are familiar to me in Peru but in the wealthiest nation in the world it is a little hard to swallow.
On a more positive side, at least Obama appears to be intelligent and maybe even a nice guy, only time will tell.
Please, no more Bush-Laden family ties stories.

Congtratulations to the American people on their choice and their victory from me in Western Australia. I didn't think I'd see this in my lifetime either. '

I am filled with hope that Senator Obama will rise to the task, although the road will be long and hard, no doubt. Change doesn't happen overnight and I hope this intelligent and genuine man will be given the chance to accomplish what he can.

Respect also to John McCain who I felt was gracious and courageous in is concession speech. I watched the full 5 hours of the election coverage we got down under - we've never had anything like that much before. I will never forget where I was when this moment in history was made.
