YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This country's nightmare will come to an end in Jan. of '09 and a new beginning will take place for us all that will guide this country back in the right direction.

Did anybody watch McCain's concession speech? Opinions? I for one thought it was eloquent and elegent, and for all practical purposes, sincere.

Thank Christ it's over. However, without being a sourpuss, I am so pleased that America has finally woken up. If I had to live under that old bastard McCain, I would have been in a deep depression for the next 4 years. I just hope that Obama WILL do something in the coming years. Talk got him the election, action is something else.

Well done US

How I want to see George Bush's confused face - "whaaaaa, you mean the black guy is gonna be king?"

Thanks for the comments, everyone. I'm still in a state of shock, and it will take me a while for this tremendous news to sink in. I'm so excited that real change will finally take place in the White House.

I'm confident that Obama will turn his words into action, but miracles won't happen overnight. Cleaning up George Bush's 8-year mess is no small task, and Obama will face some serious challenges during his presidency. Still, I believe Obama, not McCain, is the better candidate to guide the United States during the next 4 years.

Adrienne, I never thought I'd live to see this too. I'm glad both my Grandmothers are still alive to see an African American elected to the White House.

I wish I was in Chicago, too!

Obama is truly inspirational and a role model for all. He has demonstrated that anything is possible when one has hope and determination. I am proud of him and the American people who voted for change this time. World is watching and waiting for Obama to make the change in the next four years.
