I am so happy and proud of our new president, President Barack Obama! I have a 2 year old who can tell you who he is as soon as she sees him and she says president. I have a 7 year old who asked to watch several debates and speeches with me and he was very excited to find out he would be voting also in his school’s elections. It made him and thousands other’s get involved and learn something that a lot of people, not just blacks didn’t even take time to learn before. We are headed in a new era and direction and I’m definitely looking forward to it! YES WE CAN!
IT JUST FEELS SOOOO… SURREAL… YA KNOW .. IM JUST SO HAPPY AND ELATED THAT WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO WILL BE IN CHARGE COMING FROM WHERE WE ARE NOW… I DONT THINK IT WILL SINK IN UNTIL HE IS IN OFFICE ON JAN.20TH
i think obama made the best choice by running for persident. not just becasuse he is a black man but by all that he can do for all colors. he a leader and not a follower. that’s what i like about him. he is a man of his word. i hope he can fix all the @~~# that bush miss up in this world.i want to thank for winning the election. OBAMA RUN IT (BLACK MAN)
President-elect Obama, my prayers are continuously with you and your family. I pray that you are guided to do God’s will for this country. God has wrapped his arms around you. May God bless and protect you and your loved ones as you begin this successful journey. The road will not be easy, but the battle will be won. I am very proud. God Bless You All!!!!
Great moment in history for America.
Positive day in history in electing President-elect Obama. I don’t think it will cure all the ills of racism and prejudice, but it’s a big starting point. Americans should be proud of this moment.
I’m so excited that our country can move past the bogotry from so many years, and get on the right path towards prosperity & peace with President Obama, and shout-out to the V.P. Biden.

Now we Americans Need to Step Up and help our community. Barack cannot do it on his own , he needs our Assistance so lets Make change happen. YES WE DID !!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!
Woo-hoo! I am so blessed to have been here to see an historic event!!!
Ever since I could remember, I was enthralled by law and justice. One would have sworn that I was a Civil Rights’ child; but I wasn’t. What connected me so deeply to that era? I recall fighting every single day in a private school because once again, I was the “n****”. I never would retaliate with my words; rather, I decided my fists were more effective. As a young girl, my father (God rest his soul) sat me down with some rented library books. I read about nonviolent resistance. I delved more and more into historical research that connected me to Martin Luther King Jr. and also connected Martin Luther King Jr. to Mahatma Ghandi. This nonviolent resistance proved effective from generation to generation. If it worked for them, I decided that I would let it work for me. I replaced anger and bitterness with compassion and forgiveness. I became more appreciative of the powerful legacies that preceded me; and as I read life changing words in various forms of media, I was automatically transported back to the Civil Rights Era. My emotions transcended my mind, my heart, and it took root deep down in my soul. As I watched the election results, those emotions welled up again. I was actually watching Martin Luther King Jr’s words become a reality: Obama and Biden embracing and raising each other up, Obama’s children and Biden’s youth interacting, and Michelle Obama and Biden’s wife embracing and interacting. The words that I once read and heard via media, echoed in my ears. The dream of racial ties being overcome and unity happening amongst the races was no longer a dream; it was a reality. I knew that the road ahead would be long and arduous, but if people before had the tenacity and the endurance to survive much worse times, I figured that I too could be a part of that same spirit that never will die. The tears that streamed down my face as I watched history being made intertwined with the emotions that had taken roots a couple of decades ago. As goosebumps spread from my arms to my heart, I realized just what this meant for every group of adversity, particularly minority men. Now, I pray that God will surround Obama with angels of wisdom, justice, strength, faith and love. I pray that God will surround him with a hedge of protection; and I speak His word, “No weapon formed against [Obama] will prosper…” . Fear will be defeated in Jesus’ name! Amen.
i am 16 years old. i am not old enough to vote. but i got my voice heard. i got as many people i could to vote. i am so happy obama won. i was counting on it. i have a 4 1/2 month old baby boy and some day he will be reading about this historic event in his history text book and i can tell him i was here to see it happen.

Mr. President, I just want to say how awesome your victory is for this country. I believe in you and I will do whatever part that an ordinary citizen like myself can do to assist. Many, many congratulations to you and your new VP Mr. Biden. and to my beautiful first lady and first daughters, you were wonderful….Now when we tell our children that if they work hard and stay focused they can achieve anything..It is TRUTH!!!! LONG LIVE PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!
I still think about it a week later and just smile!! I’m just very proud its a dream come true.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!! Barack was saddened by the passing of his Grandmother Monday night (weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning); but JOY came Tuesday. HOW GREAT THOU ART!! Barack, continue to do what you do; you are a strong, intelligent, dignified, brilliant man. I believe you chose a humble and dedicated man when you chose Joe Biden. He appears that before the election he was willing to stand by you and I say CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BARACK, MICHELLE, BOTH DAUGHTERS, TO YOU JOE BIDEN, and YOUR WIFE. May God continue to bless you all.
Damn….Martain,Malcolm & them gotta be smilin right now
This is an emotional and historical day for every ethnic American in this country. I am a Hispanic woman with a Black Husband. Our chilren are mixed and this is so exciting I can show my children that our President is BiRacial that they can be anything they want to be if they work hard and stay out of the streeets and into the books. It’s a new day and a new way. Now we as parents have to step up to the plate and take responsibility for where our kids are and what they’re doing and watching on Television. It’s a job raising children. It’s not easy. America is not easy but if you love it and love your babies then you have to work for it. Thank God every day and pray to give Mr Obama the strength to do this job and help us to help our selves and our children.
