Way to go, Mr. President Obama. I salute you and I say "AYEKOO" (meaning: weldone). I am a Ghanaian and I am very proud of all American today. You have proven that colour is nothing but identity. Just loving this nonination. Now do the right thing and pick Hilary as your running mate.

She is what I call SANTROFII ANOMAA. (Meaning: You cannot put her on your ticket and as well you can't afford not to put her on your ticket).

Remember to listen to your instincts though. It's your call, you make it, very wisely.

Full speed to the White House.
Obama 08.

The door has been kicked in for all Americans to reach the top. What a Great Place to live.
Obama08

I have yet to see obama salute our flag or pleage allegeince to our flag,untill i see it i will be for mccain

Obama is a wonderful man! Anybody who has an open mind, who is spiritually aware knows he is our calling to be President of the United States. Richardson is also another calling who should be the Vice President! There is no way Hillary should be on the ticket. All Clinton supporters are just mad now but time will heal and they will change their minds and help strengthen the popular vote again against McCain. If you choose to switch sides CLINTON supporters it shows what ignorance you are. We are winning whether it was hillary or is OBAMA. The democratic race cannot divide. Grow up and stand by OBAMA!!

OBAMA/Richardson- 2008!!

Congratulation president Obama!We've done it. We did it. I will keep on working on your team until you get in the white house..

He'll say anything to get elected.

Congratulations, Senator. You ran a perfect campaign and built a hope and excitement for the future in this country that has not been seen in decades. WE NEED YOU and we are lucky that you are willing to serve.

GO OBAMA!

DONT COUNT MCCAIN OUT.. REPUBLICANS HAVE MORE MONEY
AND CLOUT THAN YOU THINK. ISRAEL LOBBY IS A POWER TO BE RECKONED WITH. AND jIMMY CARTER'S HAMAS CONTACT AND OBAMA'S IRAN STANCE ARE BIG STUBLING BLOCKS FOR OBAMA.
ADD THOSE WITH OBAMA DENYING HILLARY THE VP SPOT AFTER HILLARY DECLARED HER WILLINGNESS TO BE NUMBER TWO AS VP TO OBAMA…..IS LIKE A BIG SLAP ON THE FACE ON HILLARY
FROM OBAMA. . THAT WILL REVERERATE TO THE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS , 18 MILLION OF THEM WHO SUPPORTED HILLARY CLINTON. THINK ABOUT THAT OBAMA SUPPORTERS…WHO MAYBE SO ARROGANT AS TO THINK OBAMA CAN WIN WITHOUT HILLARY CLINTON ON OBAMA'S SIDE.

Sprit of America………..Was/is one of those persons who knocked barriers Rev. Jeremiah Wright ….No Jon Hagee

All the way to the White House!

President Obama, Congratulations!

"his rival for the Democratic nomination who has not admitted defeat."

Why is that fear monger, warmonger and narcissist Hillary still a "rival", CNN? You just can't let go of your favorite candidate? If you keep up this antique, your rating will slip big time…I wouldn't be surprised if good number of your viewers hadn't already switched to MSNBC. I used to be a loyal CNN viewer. But after seeing John Roberts, John king, Wolf Blitzer and Gloria Borger and other Clinton trolls pandering to Hillary, my viewing habits had completely changed. I find myself going to MSNBC a lot these days. The only thing that brings me to CNN is CNN.com.

I don't think I speak for myself only when I say I will never cast a vote for Obama. I cannot believe his supporters are still being nasty and smart mouthed toward Hillary. Obama was "put in" by the DNC heavies and the media. It had nothing to do with any skills on his part. All of us Hillary supporters have to swallow the fact that Hillary lost because of the abandonment of her party, and not to mention race. How could anyone Hillary supporter unit with him when his supporters will not even to this day shut their mouths. I will either write in Hillary's name, or stay home, or might even cast a vote for McCain. You will not hold us hostage with threats of what will happen if we vote for McCain because there is more of a threat if we vote for Obama. He knows nothing and is a shady person who cannot be trusted. How could the DNC shove her aside. I hope they go down the toilet. I will not and do not believe for a moment that Hillary supporters will go his way or rub elbows with him - CNN you cannot manipulate us that way. It is sad when the DNC and media pick the choice for President and not the people. Stop playing your mind games, you won ok. But now WE have the power to stop him in November - GO FOR IT HILLARY SUPPORTERS.

I won't be surprised to wake up one day and find out that the Clintons had Obama killed. Honestley, I'm black. And I can't imagine any white person following behind me.

If its so humbling….why is he still so arrogant??????

Congratulations and may God Bless you and your family.

We are proud to have you and your family as America's First Family! You have a beautiful and wonderful family. So, Welcome to the White House and do bring a dog for the girls:-)

What a Joyous Day that Will Be!!

Why is CNN not updating Delegate counter

Experience? Both Abraham Lincoln and Bobbie Kennedy had less elective experience than Barack Obama when they ran for the Presidency.
John McCain's experience in the service evokes our gratitude for his service. However, there is little involved in being a pilot, or a Prisoner of War that in themselves, prepare you to be President of the United States. Nor does simply being a Senator somehow prepare you to be President.
For me, Obama's judgment in speaking out against going to war with Iraq, at a time when the patriotism flame burned high in this country, was a risk because at the time he spoke out against the war, people were inclined to support what appeared to be the patriotic support of our troops. It took courage, wisdom, and judgment which resonates with me as I think about having a President with that kind of independent wisdom.

YOU GO BOY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Obama can be proud of the way he ran his campaign. He is a humble, kind, strong and intelligent human being. GO ALL THE WAY OBAMA! GODSPEED!!!

If he runs the country half as effectively as he ran his campaign, the US.A. will shine again and LEAD the world.

Enjoy your few months of glory November will be a different story !

McCain '08

History in the making, the whold world is watching and we are so very so proud of this humble smart amazing Nominee Obama-
thank you ,

the whole world has welcomed this and it is incredible, the whole world is cheering.. we all want change, peace and a better future
the world and we all know he will bring that no matter how hard the clintons make it for him,

YES WE CAN !!!!
YES WE CAN !!!!
YES WE CAN !!!!
YES WE CAN !!!!
YES WE CAN !!!!
YES WE CAN !!!!
YES WE CAN !!!!
YES WE CAN !!!!
YES WE CAN !!!!YES WE CAN !!!!YES WE CAN !!!!

My man Barack…I am so proud and excited. To me he is a mixture of Abraham Lincoln, JFK and MLK. I pray to God that the USA has the good fortune to be blessed with such a man as its leader. Go, Barack , go!!!!!!!!!

PS: Thank you to Hillary Clinton for putting him through the fire. This will help him against McCain.

What a speech! What a speech! Bring on the debates! Take some lessons McCain. You better be ready!!.

Never a doubt - since I saw him speak at the last Democratic Convention - I knew then. I hope all the naysayers will open their minds and their hearts and give this fair and decent man a chance. We will all benefit. I was a kid when JFK was President and I am thrilled to see Sen. Obama with this opportunity while I am still young enough to do my part.

Thank you Sen. Obama for staying true to your mission. I am proud to say I was a volunteer for you in the Philadelphia area and will continue to be as we approach the White House. You got this far without any help from the Clintons. Please keep it that way.

CEP

Enjoy your self nomination as long as you can; you will not be elected President…

Congratulations America You have chosen well!( The world was whatching and breathed a sigh of relief to see true change coming to the good old U.S.A.)

I, honestly, don't care who his VP is. I'm still voting for him. PERIOD!! After hearing his speech in front of the AIPAC. All my doubts are gone.

Obama/ Whoever '08

So…. if race is not an issue why is it that he is the "first African-American……" blah, blah, blah, I think the dems were afraid if he did not get the nomination that he would whine about it being a race issue.

I always hoped my children would grow up to see an African-American president. Fortunately, they may get to do it 20 years earlier than I expected. Congratulations Senator Obama! You truly demonstrate that if you live in America and are willing to work hard, anything is possible.

Obama deserves it. As for his running mate, it should not be Hillary Clinton.

Hillary's prolonged fight for the position of president has given her the image for leadership. Thus, she will not fit for a position of vice president. On top of that, with Bill Clinton in the shadow, there will be too many cooks in the kitchen.

Bring on the drums! The beat goes on and on and on and on and on and onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

He should be humbled, since his career consists of doing nothing! He is the Paris Hilton of politicians!

I was very happy to hear that Obama remembers that he has arrived where he is because of his ancestors who helped to paved the way. It shows that he has an understanding of his history and roots. He is a humble person that God has selected to lead our country. I think that he is the only person that could have beat Hiliary in securing the democratic nomination. My prayer is that his personal security is good for I believe that there are evil forces conspiring to bring him down. God Bless America.

Barack Obama IS a humble man! He learned what "respect" and "family values" are as a small child, who was raised by a single mom!! No contrast between he and HRC!! Hillary Clinton had two parents who had "financial security" when she was a small child. And now, look at how selfish and self-serving she is????? Barack Obama has values!! HE WILL MAKE AN AWESOME PRESIDENT!!

Congradulations Senator Obama! It's overwhelmingly obvious that you give people hope again and for me that is also true. Your speech today at the AIPAC, and as well as Senator Clinton's, were very inspiring. I believe you both had good points and I applaud the race, it was the most heated in many years. It reved people up to caring about who ran this country; made the contest become human again.

I think what you don't know, you will learn, as every single president has had to do. While experience is a good thing, hope is a better thing; and your heart and determination to overcome and succeed has given many people the will to see through the hard times with someone who does care. Thank you. I look forward to watching your inauguration in January.

My candidate is John McCain. Obama is fake.

i hope people realize what they did if obama becomes president!!! i know for myself i'm scared. he is so inexperienced, and one sided, everything will not be equal not that it is now, but mark my words this country is done and equal rights will be a thing of the past, especially for the white people. i hope you obama supporters are happy, i'll be asking you people next year at the same time how you like him if he is president. the country is going to hell in a hand basket?

congratulations Mr Obama you deserve to be the president of all Americans……may God bless you!!

"NO ONE IS GREAT ENOUGH TO BE HUMBLE." QUOTE BY GOLDA MIAER FORMER PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL. MY QUOTE; "OBAMA IS FLUENT IN RHETORIC,BUT HAS DONE NOTHING IN THE SENATE OF ILLINOIS OR THE USA. HUMBLE RELATED TO WHAT? HIS SPEECHES"? WE"LL SEE………….HRB

GOD BLESS AMERICA–LAND OF THE FREE!!! In that spirit of freedom, Obama should have the freedom to choose his running mate–without blackmail or pressure from any quarters. AT SOME POINT soon OBAMA WILL HAVE TO CALL HILLARY'S BLUFF! That will TESTIFY TO HIS STRENGTH AS A LEADER WHO CANNOT BE BULLIED OR BLACKMAILED. That is a sterling quality of Ronald Reagan: He is a compromiser; but no patsy. People saw a leader who is prepared to take risk. Obama IS doing everything to woo the Clinton some of their supporters; but it is clear that they will never co-operate or compromise. They will not be easy to work with; they only want a fight and talk about what might have been. Obama then must face up to them without fear. If they will rather have eight more years of George Bush, bugged down in an endless war in Iraq, huge tax break for the rich, elimination of women's right to choose by more conservative judges at the Supreme Court, more economic malaise, lobbyists' controlled of politics in Washington, etc, then he doesn’t need their votes! Obama will always have his detractors; but his resolve will earn him respect and most Americans will rally to give him the resounding support he needs to carry forward his vision. He will appear weak should he succumb to blackmail (as Mondale did years back and later lost). One of the reasons Mondale lost was the baggage of the husband of his running mate, just as Bill Clinton will be should Obama choose Hillary as a running mate. Obama cannot continue on a path of indefinite appeasement. His enemies will only become emboldened. That will ultimately contribute to his own destruction. This is true of especially internal enemies who are determined to do you harm—and who have predicated and calculated their rise upon something bad happening to you. Obama will never please them! Therefore, he must demonstrate strength and courage. May God give him Solomon’s wisdom as he seeks to resolve the difficult issues ahead. Surely, his enemies will never rest. Solomon moved swiftly to deal with his enemies. Then he ruled over a peaceable Kingdom! Obama’s enemies will never come to respect him unless he shows grit in taking them on. All America will see a leader who is prepared to take risk without fear!!! Enough is enough!!!

Very gentlemanly. Thanks, Barack, for showing such a pleasant side of humanity!!

It's funny how when Hillary scored victories, her speeches were all ME ME ME. And when Obama wins his speeches talk about the voters.

YES WE CAN MR. PRESIDENT IN GOD WE TRUST.DEMS,REPS AND INDEPENDENTS AS ONE AMERICAN WE SEEK FOR CHANGE

I am a Democrat first and for Obama second. I would have voted for either Hillary or Barack, but am pleased that Barack has the nomination. I am old enough to remember when African Americans had to ride in the back of the bus, couldn't go to schools, and couldn't sit with everyone else at lunch counters. My friends, that was only 50 years ago. It is absolutely amazing to see how far America has come. We just went through a nomination process between a woman and an African American. Absolutely amazing. I have been sad to be an American over the last 8 years. I am now, once again proud of what my country is becoming.

McCain's speech last night completely missed the point. He is a doddering old man who is being fed sound bites that are completely out of touch with the realities of our world. Add to that the weird, grandfatherly, almost whiney way he delivered his speech, and it is apparent that Obama is going to kick his butt. Once Obama wins, I sincerely hope he gives Hillary one of the key posts on his Cabinet. She should NOT take VP, and he should NOT offer it. VP is just arm candy for the president, and is mostly ceremonial. Give Hillary something she can sink her teeth into, to fix the damage the Repubs have done over the last 8 years!!!!

No country for old men! Just say no to McCain.

The worst mistake that Obama could make is listening to Jimmy Carter! He was the worst president in my lifetime!

All right, really the worst mistake would be picking Carter for VP, but other than that…

Obama/Clinton '08/'12

I have seen all of Obama's speeches, many of them more than once starting with his speech at the Democratic Convention back in 2004. Last night…Last night was the best I have ever heard. I am proud to be an American.

Democracy is self correcting. Bush was a mistake that hurt us all badly. Obama is the solution.

Congratulation president Obama!We've done it.

Congratulatons Mr. Obama from a former Republican in Wisconsin!

It is amazing to me that now that Obama has finally been able to clinch the nomination, his followers on these "Comments" still continue to hurl hate-filled remarks at Senator Clinton. Where do these people come from ??!!!

Obama is awesome!

I now hope that Barack does not choose Hillary as a running mate. Hillary is brilliant and often a better speaker than she is generally perceived to be. But she needs to rebuild her ego - get over her starving for applause and personal adulation - before she can be an integral part of a program for governing as envisioned by Barack Obama.

WHAT IN GOD'S NAME ARE THE PUNDITS AND THE MEDIA DOING THEY JUST KEEP THIS WOMAN FEELING AS IF SHE HAS WON SOMETHING SHE HAS LOST THE PRIMARY. AND IF YOU HILLARY SUPPORT ARE SO SORE THAT SHE HAS LOST AND WANT TO CAST YOUR VOTE FOR THE REPUBS THEN WHAT DOES THAT SAY FOR YOU? YOU ARE JUST AS POWER HUNGRY AS SHE IS. SHE HAD A FAIR PRIMARY SEASON AND SHE LOST GET OVER IT. WE REAL TRUE DEMOCRATS WILL LEAD ON IN OUR DETERMINATIONS TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK WHILE YOU FAKE DEMS TRY AS HARD TO SELL IT OUT. ALL TRUE AND REAL DEMOCRATICE LET US BAND TOGETHER AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY AND BRING OUT FAMILY MEMBERS HOME FROM THIS WAR THAT WAS ONLY TO GIVE BUSH A NAME. TO BRING HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION, AND A SENSE OF PRIDE BACK TO THE MAIN FRONT WE HAVE WORK TO DO LETS GET BUSY ALL TURE AND REAL DEMOCRATS AND

LEAVE THE FALSE DEMOCRATS WHERE THEY STAND AS LOOSERS

Too bad McCain is a war hero and of course he will win.

Obama, Kerry, Mondale all the same. Losers!

Last night we got the latest in the series of graceless and tasteless speeches that have been the trademark of the Clinton campaign. Rather than simply congratulate Barack Obama on such a historic night, she again trotted out the meaningless claim that she had more votes. Once again she reminded all interested in helping to contact Hillary Clinton.com. This woman with a family fortune in excess of $100,000,000 again, without shame, told the story of how she took money from a school boy who sold his bike and video games to support her. She is without conscience or shame and children should be protected from predatory people like her. While she voices concern (real or affected) for the disadvantaged, husband Bill calls critics scumbags and slime. Obama would be mad to have this pair on his ticket: they would undermine and destroy him.

HILLARY, BILL—YOU LOST

Obama = Hypocrite

History. First because he is an African American who is the Democratic Nominee. Second, the young people of this country worked hard for a man that we believe in. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke about black kids and white kids being able to eat and play together. What he spoke about came together and pushed Sen. Obama to his current position and it will push him to be the First Black President of America. If only Dr. King was alive to see the dream. The young can teach the old as well. GOD BLESS you Obama!!!!!!

Congratulations to the extreme left media and the foolish Dems who have anointed the object of their love affair. You now have a very cautious, biracial presumptive nominee who has marinated in Black Liberation Theology and racist rhetoric for decades!

Hillary is the best, and I will support whatever she decides. VP would be my last choice unless she knows something I don't?

But, if she takes it to the convention to secure Universal Health Care and/or if she secures the next Supreme Court position she will continue to serve admirably!

Joining McCain on his ticket would satisfy many of her supporters as would running as an Independent.

The Dems no longer deserve her support and service or Bill's, and I would love to see the new biracial guy fail all by himself!

Anticipating Hillary's decision with hope and prayer!

Clinton should NOT be the VP - this is not where she will excel. She is going to be FAR better suited and MUCH more valuable and effective in the Senate or perhaps the head of a government agency … even the Cabinet, we need her fighting spirit somewhere where laws are made: the Senate.

Sit back and work your mojo in the Senate. Vice President is going to do anything for Clinton and Clinton won't bring near as much to the VP position as she would in the Senate or head of an agency or maybe, but doubtful, the Cabinet.

Congratulations Senator Obama, the way you are running your Campaign is truly inspiring and loaded with grace and power- thanks for doing whats right in the face of so much un-right. My word of encouragement to you is FLOW-

And remember that meakness is not weakness but power and wisdom under control!

God bless you and your wonderful wife an girls I know they are proud of you!

Carly,

No, the most arrogant candidate in memory just happens to be sitting in the White House now. Who else would thumb their nose at the rest of the world. You are either with us or against us? And who is us? God knows none of his relatives have gone to Iraq.

It amazes me that some commentors and the media in general are still contempleting and discussing about the future of Hillary Clinton when she has yet to gracefully accept defeat. Would people still trust a nail-biter, unable to even overcome her vanity and name recognition.

Congratulations to Barack Obama. What a historical event. The whole world is expressing it. It is simply MARVELOUS DARLING, I LOVE IT. The next Pres of U. S. Barack Obama. WH no place for Clintons!!-No Veep.

I have no doubt this whole little article was written to answer what McCain said last night about his Arrogance and believe that he is destined for this moment in history!

NO THANKS!

I'm with the Candidate that is for the people and ready to serve the people…and has the voice of the people from being with us!

Don’t pretend to know what is best for us like we where sheep!

For once in my lifetime, the first time in my lifetime, I am proud to have watched real Democracy in action. Strong arm politics was thrown out for open door policies. I am so proud this country has come far enough to say NO to old school dirty politics and say YES to a bi-racial man from Chicago who gives us hope. He has already kept his first campaign promise….he gave us "Change We CAN Believe In" when he beat down the Clinton machine.

This older southern white woman is very very proud to be an American today.

This is a great day in American history. Just think over a few hundred years ago, african americans were treated as less than human, and now the first african american democratic presidential nominee. Wow!! We have come a long way. We have sent a message to the world today. America really is a land of opportunity.

Barack is the right man for the job. He really knows what the challenges are, and he approaches every issue with care and humility. This is a new day not just for America, but for the entire world. Change is truly on the way.

Congratulation Obama!
I think this is a great win for a great country, the americans and the people in the world! He is the best candidate and I'm sure he will be the next President of the United States!

its been wonderful all the way Mr Obama,you wil sure keep alive the dreams of martin luther kings.proud of you

"Free at last, Free at last!!"
Dr. King would be proud of all of us that have
wished for or helped Senator Obama get to this position.

"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are
created equal."
Our founders would also be proud

If you love America, you love this new day!!!
If you love your fears and wish to return to an age of hatred,
ignorance and oppression too bad. The tide is turning.

VOTE VOTE VOTE!

GOD
BLESS

HOPE U UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THE ABOVE, LET ALL DEMOCRATS SUPPORT HIM, IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE AND THAT'S WHAT HE BELIEVES IN.

@ Hillary for the President.

Why not get over it? If you can get your head out of Hillary backside for a minute, you'll see that the ship had set sail ages ago and your Hillary lost fair and square.

And to the winner goes the spoil. CONGRATULATIONS Sen. Obama.
If God says YES, which human can say NO.
May God's guidance and protection continues to lead you in all your endeavours.

I am an Independent, who has not supported one candidate over another. If all Americans think for one minute we have a voice in this or any election forth coming you are mistaken. The elections are manipulated to sever the few high-powered in government.
Just look at the events of this campaign.
Lets be honest here, from day one the news media has been bias. They have not been fair to the candidates, nor given Americans the real truth behind the stories. They broadcast what they want us to hear and know. Have you ever noticed the clips they choose to show, clips that in most cases then not are negative, without out revealing the actual truth behind it.
The talking heads you see before your TV screens get there marching orders from the higher ups, who have already set the agendas.
These self-severing originations from the onset, picked a candidate and proceeded
To influence the American people with propaganda. The news media, journalist and ill informed annoying talking heads are part of America’s problem!

Sympathy for Senator Clinton, I think not! PROUD YES INDEED!!! She is a fighter, strong with many years of experience. She represents millions of strong Americans who will support her in whatever path she chooses.

Obama is the presumitive nominee. Until the conventions, no one including McCain, are the nominees. the convention is when the actual votes will be given, until then anything can happen. I will wait until the convention to see the actual results. Out of three possible scenarios on popular votes, Obama is ahead in only one. He is not my nominee. If he is the actual nominee in August and that seems likely, I will at that time know how I will vote in November. I suspect I will have to vote for Hillary, by write-in.

OBAMA 08…jump on the bandwagon. Its moving with the majority. Congratulations OBAMA…to the whitehouse we go

I think he is arrogant, and has played the race card in every speech he has given. The urgency of now, I have a dream, and Selma one or another or all three have been mention in every speech I have heard Obama give. I defy anyone to find one in which race has not been brought up. Just one speech?

The Messiah has arrived…! Saint Obama keep fighting for us…

Congrats…I'm not voting for you but congrats.

This guy didn't win anything….the superdelegates gave him the nomination. Count the votes, more people supported Hillary because she would be a far better candidate–and president. It will be interesting to see how far he gets without half of the democratic party actually supporting him.

His appointment might be one small step for men…but its a giant leap into sexism.

Enlightened Voter - No Hillary for VP - Well said.

Additionally, yes, Hillary ran a great race and should be commended for her efforts and accomplishment. But, Obama is the presumptive Democratic nominee and should be respectfully acknowledged as such and then petition, suggest, coerce the possibility of HRC being on “HIS” ticket without the "demand“ undertone.

The goal of ensuring a Democrat in the White House in January 2009 seems to be falling by the wayside and the Repub’s are laughing/gloating all the way to the bank. CAN WE PLEASE STOP THE FIGHT AND UNITE!!

This man makes me want to believe things can change. I have switched parties to vote for Obama.

I work with a bunch of Republicans and no one will talk to me today. They will only say they didn't bother to watch the primary coverage last night and don't really care about the results. I hope most people aren't that close-minded.

Senator Obama is the best person to be our president. Obama understands how we value our families, our work, our faith and our country. He has knowledge from the school of hard knocks. He has learned from his respective birth families, a tradition that honors productive hard work and the achievements that come from it. One of the best things he has going for him is he is honest. Please Hillary supporters transition for unity.

please go to hillary's website and submit a comment: ask her to stop down. tell her we don't want her as our VP. i already submitted my request and my friends have too. hillary needs to know that this has to stop: we cannot take her divisive rhetoric anymore…she has said too much trash about obama to know want to be his vp. she has to remind supporters that she is a democrat and that democrats should put the party first….mccain is another bush term.

obama generation 08

Awesome and gracious man. I have switched parties to vote for Obama, NOT another Clinton!!

Stop all the hate people and let’s unite our party! I agree with the supporter from Iowa. Why is it when an individual like Senator Obama that has intelligence and great leadership skills is before us, most people believe or comment, "the only reason he has come so far is because he is black." As my friend above stated, "he would have one the nomination not matter what color he is"; the man is a true leader.

On to the White House Mr. President!!!

Obama/Richarson ‘08

Thank you Mr. Obama for conducting yourself and your campaign with honor . I will continue to contribute to your campaign for the long fight ahead. After seeing your Republican challenger's speech last night, you have no competition.

I thought Obama was the nominee for "CHANGE"???

Then why does he have all these Democrat big-wigs doing his VP hunt and telling him what to do??? Makes me wonder what he will change??

I am so honored and proud to be able to witness and support this historic moment that many thought would never happen. This primary, this campaign and now this nomination shows how far America has came and the direction it is going!

MLK made his "I have a dream "speech in 1963, August 28 to be exact and Obama will be announced the Democratic Nominee August 28, 2008. This country is making great strides! History is being made!

Congratulations! Mr. Obama. God is with you always. You have made us proud.

Congratulations Barack Obama. Your achievement last night has changed history forever. You have the support of my family.

Hillary will bow out as soon as she collect enough money to cover her dept…
I went to her website last night per her recommendations: They just wanted money. You will not be able to read anything other than donate or contribute blocking your way…

Yes we can
but NOT IF HILLARY IS VP

Carly wrote..Humbling? This, from the most arrogant candidate in memory? Puh-leeze!!

You are on a bitter train aren't you. Wake up and see the sunlight. It might give you a better perspective in life.

Clarification…..Obama may be a "man of color" but he is not an African American. You cannot tell me that his experience of a Prep School in Hawaii and Harvard is anything close to that of a young man who grows up hearing gunshots and pushing his way past dope pushers, pimps and hookers. Regardless of what his campaign may say, he has been playing the race card all along…every time you see him on TV. No one can ignore that he is not white, but misleading my real African American friends that he is somehow "just like them" is another marketing gimmick. He is a product of excellent marketing that points him in the direction of being whatever their research tells him that he needs to be. And the media willingly buy in.

"I am so proud of you Mr. Obama" from a little 60 year old grandma.

I THINK IT'S AN AWFUL IDEA, OBAMA AND HILLARY ON A TICKET TOGETHER. IT WOULD BE A MISTAKE THAT HE'D NEVER RECOVER FROM. I FEEL LIKE SHE'S A BULLY. SHE DIDN'T GET THE NOMINATION AS SHE EXPECTED, SO NOW SHE'S GOING TO FORCE HERSELF ON THE PARTY AS THE VP NOMINEE. SHE WANTS IN, AND IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW. I SEE HER SABOTAGING (SP) HIM AT EVERY TURN. IF HE WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH TO BE POTUS, PER MS CLINTON, THEN WHY IS HE GOOD ENOUGH FOR HER TO WORK ALONGSIDE. MR OBAMA, PLS DO NOT SELECT HILLARY CLINTON AS YOUR RUNNING MATE.

THANK YOU

Sandi:

It was some of the American people, the Democratic Party and superdelegates who want to get re-elected who gave the nomination to Obama. You sound like the media. Proclaiming him the Messiah and this the second coming! What a joke!

Fact is withoout the white vote in Iowa he would have been out of the race loooong ago, and if he doesn't find someone with some ounce of intelligence to TELL HIM to choose Clinton as his running mate then he ma as well give it up now.

He will win with her on the ticket, but not because of who he is or anything he has done, but for the people who carried that loser on their shoulders and put him in the Oval Office.

He'd better be humbled, he's the weakest candidate to be nominated (if he will be the nominee) in years, and has sort of stumbled towards the finish line with barely 50% of the popular vote. This is hardly a win and he has just 100 delegate margin over Hillary with a deficit in overall votes.

Due to the contentious nature of this race, she should still go to the convention. Obama cannot win a general election even if he is the Dems nominee.

Actually I told my son Malcolm, that this shows he can be President; even with his big ears.

Congratulations Obama! Congratulations United States of America! We just may be on the road to change!

YOU DID IT YOU DID IT YOU JUST NOMINATED A BLACK MUSLEM, WITH AMERICA BASHING PRIESTS!

YOU GAVE THE RIGHT WINGERS THE BEST POSSIBLE DEM TO THRASH IN THE GENERAL ELECTION!

GOD SAVE AMERICA

WE ARE SO PROUD OF SEN. OBAMA! WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

Just as Sen. Obama said last night, I too, believe in the goodness of we, the American people. There will always be the small-minded-Rush-dittoheads-fear-mongering among us. However, I believe that the our nation is FED UP with the politics of destruction-swiftboating-lies-division!

Its time to come together as one nation, indeed under God. Its been a tragedy that the Republicans have given Christians such a bad name by spewing hatred and division!

We DO need to talk to Hamas, Iran, North Korea…….. and ALL our enemies! There is an old wise saying: "Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer!"

Those who would denounce Sen. Obama for speaking to our enemies are ignorant! War should only be our last resort, not the first!

What has war with Iraq given us? More enemies, more terrorists, more debt (over $10 TRILLION), more loss of life of our wonderful soldiers dying at 19 for what? LIES & OIL!

The truth will set us free of Bush and his cronies! But watch out the RNC will throw everything it can against Sen. Obama……. we, the people, need to be prepare for the real scorched earth!

Congratulations to Senator, soon to be President Barack Obama.

He handled himself brilliantly throughout the Democratic Primary.

We need President in the White House who will tell us the truth, nothing more and nothing less.

We need a President who will hard everyday to fix the economy, make us safe against terrorists, and respect its citizens.

Now that the Democratic Party got it right- - let's pray that America follows suit and gives Senator Obama the popular and electoral votes it takes to win the White House for the American people.

Good Luck soon to be President Barrack Obama, and God bless you, your family, and America.

Obama ATTENDED a RACIST CHURCH and applauded the sermons given by Rev. Wright

Obama ATTENDED an ANTI-AMERICAN Church and donated $27,000 to help promote hatred towards Americans.

Obama sees Americans as the "Typical White Person"

Obamas sees Americans as "Bitter, Gun Toting, Faithless" people

Obama has been the GREAT DIVIDER of the Democratic party and millions of Democrats will refuse to vote for him in November.

I have never tolerated or supporter racism….and I am not about to start now…just because Obama is black.

Obama has proven that he CANNOT be trusted with our great nation.

NO OBAMA……even if it means McCain wins in November.

We survived 8 years of Bush so 4 years of McCain will be a piece of cake.

After all voting for Obama would be like voting for another Bush term.

NO OBAMA!!!

Carly.. where do you see arrogance? From humble beggings to this historic moment. He stayed true to his values.

I can not put in words how much I am happy for what Senator Obama has achieved. He has inspired so many Americans and non Americans with his policies and dreams for United States of America and the World. I am from Afghanistan and a permanent US citizen working as an engineer in one of leading renewable energy companies in United States. I do not have the right to vote but I am honored to support Senator Obama who I believe will bring back America to its glory in the World. I love America and he is going to be a president who once again will make Americans proud to be Americans as John. F Kennedy did.
t is time for America to come together as a nation and together we can make America a caring nation not only to its citizen but the World.

I am disappointed with Senator Clinton comments and approaches, I believe that she is a very smart woman who has changed the American history by running for presidency, but she may need to realize that the presidency of United State should be about the Americans and not about her ego for presidency. It is time to come together as Americans, Democrats, Republicans, and people of all races and background to tackle the challenges we face today.

I believe Senator Obama is the best candidate who can deal with today’s challenges that US faces, such as global terrorism, economy, healthcare and most of all caring about the rest of the world.

Being from a country which has been a victim of terrorism, I believe we need to stop the policies of fear and tough talks which we saw in the past 8 years did not do any good, and start to engage in global talks with countries which doesn’t necessary agrees with US policies.
It is impossible for US to sustain its security and economy without getting engaged with the rest of the world. We need to strengthen our relations with Europe and encourage Unite Nations to play more active role in resolving world conflicts.

I think some people are taking the comments of Senator Obama out of context about engaging with dialogs with Iran, Syria, and North Korea. I believe the leaders of these countries are the Iranian, Syrian and North Korean versions of President Bush and it is nonsense that we have listened and taken President Bush policies for the past 8 years but refuse to even start a diplomatic dialog with the Iranian, Syrian and North Korean leaders.

I wish good luck for Senator Obama and I believe he will win the presidency of United States and I will be looking forward and honored to vote for him in his second term when I get eligible to vote.

Good bless America and the world.

Was/is one of those persons who knocked barriers Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the man Obama threw under the bus for political expediency?

Mr. Spirit

Wright dove head first infront of the bus with out any help from Obama. Check your facts. After the first Incident Obama went out on the limband defended the man. Said he disagreed but he would not disown him. What Wright did by that media whirlwind was slap Obama in the face… friends dont bring the sharks to your door step

My personal goal is to register at least 1,000 people by November in order to vote for you, Mr. Obama. I owe you this one. Take care. Can't wait to see you in the white house. I love you sir. You're my god.

Congratulations Obama,

I know you will make us proud. Have your moment. We will be here during Novemeber to cast our votes for the next President of the United States:

Barack Obama 08′

Obama will never win alone. Without Clinton, McBush is a definite.

So sick of the media in their usual ridiculous overkill reporting on Obama's nomination with headlines like, "Look What We Didi!", "America Chooses Obama", "America Has Spoken", blah, blah, blah.

Let's face it. Obama did NOTHING. If it had not been for the white vote in Iowa he would have been out of the reace before he was even in it.

If he had not played the race card and gotten the majority of the black community who are unable to think for themselves behind him from day one he would have been history, not made it, long ago AND if he does not pick Hillary as a running mate he may as well not even bother becaue he will lose in a landslide to McBush.

Another fact is the majority of the Democratic voters, the Democratic Party and the superdelegates can't see beyond the end of their noses. The voters are ignorant and believe whatever they are told to believe, The Party will never learn, even after loss after loss in Congress and the White House, and the delegates are more concerned with gettign re-elected than anything else, even more than getting back both houses of Congress and the White House for the first time in decades.

IF, and that is a big IF, Obama should win it will be because the white vote and Hillary on the ticket gave him the presidency, or without her on the ticket, it will be because more Americans than not have finally awakend from their 8 year sleep and realized that they are so disgusted with Bush and Cheney, who have always been interested in only two things - power and their bank accounts and to hell with the country and its peoplem and witih the Republican Party as a whole.

Should Obama succeed it will not be because of anything he has done, just because he was carried to victory by what others have done for him.

CONGRATULATIONS! One down and one-to-go. And for all those who don't think he'll make it to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave - stay tuned.

President Obama, You are the chosen one! I feel the spirit when you speak; you move me like no other! I beleive that "God" is guiding your path as a "Ordinary Man" to do "Extraordinary Things"! I can see it happening before us and I want to believe you will always do the right thing as you are a "Good Man" that will do our Country proud!

We are all so very proud !

Senator McCain will beat only himslef
it is very painful to watch and hear him speak !

Stay on course with the issues and from this day forward don't even mention your rival's name just talk about your plans, cause if he keeps speaking your name, he has nothing else to talk about and we already know that!

Humbling he is!!! Congratulations Sir on a job well done.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY

This is without a doubt an historic defining event not just for America, but for the entire world.
I urge all Americans not waist this great opportunity to restore their standing as the leader of the free world. Obama is the only current candidate capable of achieving this task.

Congrats Obama

And honestly picking HRC as your VP is a move I have just one thing to say or better for you to think over:

Politically she can bring in the fanatics that will jump ship and is a strong ally, But after all these months can you trust her as a person not to undermind you or even set you up for her next positioning in a few years

really can you trust her as a person?

LOL - wait until he sees how humble he's gonna feel when he gets his butt handed to him in November

God bless you obama,congratulation,God bless America.

"Carly" & "Spirit of America" - Are you so bitter and filled with hate for the man that you cannot see the significance of this nomination? Even if you don't like Obama, you must be able to recognize the progress this country has mad in just 40 years. His nomination was realized because he won votes from White, Black, Hispanic & Asian voters. For a moment, please take a second to recognize the greatness of a country that continues to grow toward equality for all men and women… Thank you America. I'm proud of us today.

Way to go Senator Obama soon to be President Obama. WE love you!!!

Obama’s head is in the right place. Last night his campaign chair gave him a remarkable comment. He said Barack never gets too high and he never gets too low.
He has the right attitude and I think people will respect him for it. He sees this is a historical milestone, but it’s not just about him. Go Obama!!!

@Hillary for President; what about last night that you didn't understand. Did you graduate from high school or obtained a GED. It is over for Hillary and guess what, NO VP. So, change your name to McCain for President. LMAO

While I know it will be difficult to find the time I hope Obama takes a moment to reflect upon the significance of what he has accomplished. That he stops for a moment and realizes just how implausible all this would have been a mere 40 years ago when Jim Crow was alive and strong. I feel humbled myself to have been blessed with the opportunity to see this happen in my lifetime.

Congratulations! The American people, in fact people from the entire world are congratulating Senator Obama. And he can hold his head high because he obtained this honor the old fashioned way - with integrity and decency. Unlike his competitor who has no sense of decency - it just galls me that Clinton doesn't even show the courtesy to bow out gracefully or for that matter at all!!! What is she waiting on - has someone forgot to show her the newspaper today - SHE LOST and apparently she doesn't know that she is no longer a candidate!!!

Congradulations Obama and America, finally we have someone in the White House that is really going to care about THE PEOPLE. That awful speech by McCain was absoultely ludicrus. Botoked out, he could hardly read the teleprompter, and he keep saying "that's not change we can believe in" He needs a new speech writer and public speaking lessons.

congrats obama and clinton for running an thrilling campaign!

How is it possible that there are still people who believe Obama is Muslim. Equally mind boggling is that 40 some percent of Americans are unaware that THREE buildings collapsed on 9/11. I realize the media is severely controlled, but some of these facts are inescapable.
???

What the?? How hard is it to spell J-F-K ????

I rest my case on the argument that the Obama
supporters are not the shapest tools in the shed….

Congratulations. You are a gentleman and a scholar. Hillary did a wonderful job knocking down stereotypes but Mr. Obama you showed what could happen when you don't resort to dirty politics.

I wish you God's speed as you go to the next struggle. Our ancestors would be proud and are looking down on you.

I would like to add this: NO B H O !!!!!!!!

We Clinton supporters despise Obama. Hello President McCain!!!

GOD BLESS AMERICA the only LAND ON EARTH where a son of herdsman and Akarnsas woman can become the president!!. The American Dream is still possible!!!!

I THINKIT'S GREAT THAT A WOMAN , A BLACK MAN CAN RUN FOR THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE COUNTRY.
BUT WE SEE HERE WHY THE ISSUE OF WOMEN IN POLITICS TO ME SEEMS SO DOWN PLAYED . THE GAME OF POLITICS HAVE RULES MEN PLAY BY THEM THE FIRST WOMAN TO GET THIS FAR ,SEES IT GETTING OUT OF REACH AND SHE WANTS TO CHANGE THE RULES. AT THE RISK OF SOUNDING SHOVINISTIC
THIS IS WHY ADAM AND EVE WERE OUTSTED THE GARDEN .
THAT IS MY OPINION. SHE IS FALL FROM GRACE.

Congratulations …..Obama thank you for giving us Ameicans hope for a better America. Keep up the strong message of hope and you will get to the White House.

Pat

PROUD! God Bless Obama and God Bless the world.

I congratulate you President Barack Obama. Our country will truly benefit from your strong leadership.

WAY TO GO, President Obama. I hope someone from your camp is monitoring these comments and taking the good suggestions to heart. PLEASE don't choose Hillary as your VP. How about Gov. Kathleen Sebelius from Kansas? She'd do a much better job aligning with your ideals than Hillary!

OBAMA/SEBELIUS '08!!!

This country is in a REAL mess…AGAIN!!!!!!!
I guess that it really does'nt matter how you vote, the DNC will just IGNORE the will of the PEOPLE and do what they want AND change the outcome of any election! Being from the great state of MICHIGAN, I am extremely upset with the DNC for over-ruiling my vote! SHAME on the DNC!
The ONLY thing we can expect from an "Obama Presidentcy" is NOTHING! Just a lot of fancy talk, and cowering to those who want to hurt the United States!
Hillary Clinton IS the only person qualified to be in the oval office!
I am sick and tired of people calling her a racist! It seems that people quickly forget that it was Obama's church leaders that made all of those racist remarks about Hillary Clinton!
Hillary Clinton has worked extremely hard for ALL of America's people for many, many years!
The "Super Delegates" DO NOT represent the TRUE will of the PEOPLE!!!!!!! SHAME on the DNC!!! AND all those "STUPID DELEGATES"!!!!!!!!!
May God help us!!!!!

Congratulations Senator Obama!!

Awesome speech last night! I was so proud and I'm so excited about the future!

God bless you and your family.

Obama '08
YES WE CAN!!

Senator Obama,
God Bless you and your family. I will pray for you every day from now through your presidency.

Oh please, You will make the worst president ever, hopefully you will lose and go back to your church and enjoy the hate that your used to. Your a fake.

Very proud of you Obama. All the way to the white house

Of course it's humbling. It's like putting someone in the drivers seat of a bus when he doesn't even know how to drive - trying not to smash the thing up is a very humbling experience.

hahaah !!! let see in November . Hillary is the # 1.

This is The Best thing I can see. I spent time in the U.S. Air Force, and
Graduated From UC Riverside, But This is my most historical event.
This is like seeing the Golden Era of American start. The Era when from
"Yes We Can" to We as A People are Great ! Who will care for All Americans!

Congratulation President Obama. You defied the odds. You took on the Clinton Political War Machine and defeated it! A modern day "David and Goliath!" This is the start of what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed about years ago! And America should be proud of herself as we lead the world in taking steps to end racism! God bless you and God bless The Unites States of America!

Gratulations Senator Obama !!!

All the way Obama, you will change america !!!

Congratulations Senator soon to be President Obama. You have made your Grandmother and the American people proud! Stand tall and know that you have favor.

Carly:

Arrogance?

Senator Obama never presumed his entitlement to the nomination

I'm not voting for OBAMA!!! He's a democratic yes but that doesn't mean I have to vote for him. I honestly believe he is not going to be a good president. The Democratic party has done themselves in. Democratis set themselves up for failure in the general election.

in this 21st century, who cares what Israel thinks, this is the USA, thats USA of America, not us of Israel, or anywhere else for that matter, our country is partly in the fix it's in, because of allies who are pro greed, pro insinuation, pro dual citizenships; and then become inflamed when people take issue; we need to cut our ties to some of these antagonists, and promote the constitution at home, abroad will take care of itself..

Congratulations Senator Obama! I hope we're calling you President Elect Obama come November.

Carly, nothing about his speech last night was arrogant. You people need to stop with the whole elitist, arrogant talk. I have never seen anything to make me believe he is that way. If you don't like his policies, fine, but don't make up stuff about him being arrogant and elite. Which candidate was raised by his Grandmother on food stamps? living paycheck to paycheck? He may have money now, but not as much as Hillary and McCain, so where does this come from?

Congratulations, Obama. Way to go!!!!!

It should be humbling…he is underqualified.

Oh he's "humbled", I don't believe that nor anything else he has said.

Go McCain

"Carly and Sprit of America" - Get over it, under it, beside it or whatever you choose. Your jealousy and immaturity is why alot of Americans are the way they are. Unite with the Democrats (if that is what you truly are) or don't unite. Either way, Barack Obama will be the next PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!!

OBAMA / SEBELIUS-08!

……..and….Thank you for caring so much about the rest of us that you subject yourself to the challenges ahead. Mr. Obama, thank you for your generosity. I love you and so does Miriam.

I'm a proud citizen of the great city of Chicago, and I've been a supporter of Obama's since the beginning, and I can't say how proud I am of this accomplishment. There is a ways to go, but thanks to Hillary, Obama is in the right position to sweep this country off its feet!

If you are afraid of change, you WILL be afraid of this man. But take heart, most people are afraid of change……until they embrace it, which is inevitable in this election. Even John McCain is talking about it. Think about it…..the Republican nominee is embracing the other candidate's entire political platform. And McCain actually thinks it is going to help him!!!

It's okay Republicans…you can join our side, we will take you in, and not hold it above your heads….

The time is NOW.

Go OBAMA!

Congratulation Mr President Obama. It has been a pleasure to watch and listen to you through out this primary. your speeches and messages of change is reaching everyone including the republic of ireland. Keep on the good work as the lord bless you.

Those that cannot appreciate the history that has been made have their own issues to deal with. Our system is broken. Not a little…but so much that I worry that it has been destroyed beyond repair. Continuinally walking the same path and falling into the same hole but expecting different results even though the same path is traveled is by definition insanity. Time for a change. And it starts today. Now people can work together for that change or they can continue to be the problem. The choice is simple.

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL. GOD BLESS AMERICA. GOD BLESS OBAMA.

He's like the cool kid in high school you always wanted to be. Everyone wants to be close to him. I wish I could meet Obama.

To those who come negatively on these boards, hope you have realized you have been run over by the Bush pessimism train. Pick yourself up and lets make change…Carly!

Congratulations Obama!!!!
You've got my youth vote
YES WE CAN!!!!

Obama is our future!!!

yes

U-ROCK OBAMA !!!!! Way to go !

Seator Obama

Congratulations all the way from us in South Africa. If Mr Nelson Mandela could lead our country from a land of division and segregation to a beacon of hope to become a united rainbow nation, then sir you can do it to the USA. Your citizens saw the same humility we saw in Mr Nelson Mandela. We are indeed looking forward to your first visit to our country as the next president of the the United States of America. God bless you and your family!

I swear I don't know if Barack Obama clinched the nomination or Elvis Presley. Some of you are way to sprung on this guy.

Obama get ready for the real deal. I want these same people to these same loving, kind, words about you if you should become President and mess up. They will stab you in your back. Why? Because this is America and that's how they do things here. They say good things about you in your face and call you names when you are not around. Mark my words, if you should become President for four years and don't have four good years, they will say you messed up because you are a black man. They will not say "he's not all black". They will say he's black. That's how white people are. You know you weren't ready for this job, but you better get ready because all eyes are on you.
