CNN

As a soldier serving in Iraq, this is disturbing, horrible news to wake up to. A Commander in Chief with no experience, lots of promises, and a huge set of blinders to put on the American people, his promises are going to fall through, I just hope and pray he has good advisors because our new leader lacks everything we need in a President right now...

I love Obama, I love Biden, and I love my country. Finally, I am truly happy again, things are looking up. I am so proud of this moment in our great country's history. The U.S.A. is finally ready for change. Let's bring our boys home!

two years ago, when she saw Hillary on the news and asked "Is that the lady who wants to vote herself president?", I told my daughter we'd see a black man president before we'd ever see a woman – and it's great that we've come this far – but I don't think it's possible to see a female president of the U.S. in my lifetime – maybe my daughter's, but I don't really have much hope

sexism crosses all those racial boundaries

On this historic day the people of America have a choice... to either be positive and join together for the greater good of the county or to be negative and act like we have no sense. With the state of the country today I would think the choice is clear, but I am only one person. Please America look into mirror of our country and choose to be a part of the solution and not the source of yet more problems. We are the greatest nation, and it is time we start acting like it. Let us be the source of inpiration not jokes, of strength not weakness and of hope in the sight of despair. The saying is old but very true... "United We Stand, Divided We Fall" Let Us Rise Together and above all Let Us Stand Together once again proud to be an American.

More white people voted for Obama than for Kerry. So get over it.

The new america president Obama-vicepresident Biden 08'

WE ARE ALL AMERICANS, EAST, WEST, SOUTH OR NORTH, WHITE, BLACK, HISPANICS, CHRISTIANS AND JEWS. TOGETHER WE STAND, ALL OF US, DIVIDED IS NOT AN OPTION.

A special Thanks to IOWA! You opened the door to change. Had Obama not won there in the primaries this never could have happened.

Thanks, IOWA
and God Bless America!

More than anything, I'm glad that the PUMAs divisive acts didn't prevent Obama from winning. I really admire how Hillary Clinton put our party first by supporting President Elect Obama.

This is definitely a memorable night!

Hey Walt in Belton...
He just did!

Welcome back Freedom !!!!

Some of you haters out there need to put a sock in it. What I saw on the stage tonight is what America really looks like, white, black, young , old all together being united and going to work for a common cause. You far right wingers and sore losers need to regroup because it was the divisive campaign that helped sink the McCain ticket. I feel sorry for Sen McCain because he is a good man that had a failed group and VP running his show. If the GOP plans to get it's act back together one thing they need to do is be DIVERSE. The USA is a country of many colors and backgrounds..USE them..show that in your races and offices. Stop the hating and move on all you're doing is hurting yourselves.

WANTED: Nice, large parcel of land in the Rockies, where the world's producers can hide out for the next few years (possibly 8-12) as the looters and moochers drag the globe into worldwide collapse and socialism. Call John Galt.

This is not good news for those KKK people is it? The GOP has nobody to blame but themselves

Concerned Business Owner, you will need to stop being a cry baby. oh btw, MCCAIN LOST!! so, there is no need to repeat the message over and over when Obama made it very clear of what he said.

this is a great moment in our history and our great country. I believe we elected a grea president and a very good man. I am honored to have cast my vote for this great man and I look forward to contributing in my own small way to his leadership and follow in his footsteps to make our great country and the world a better place.
God bless Obama, help him lead and bless the USA.

Senator John McCain for Prime Minister of New Zealand

obama sucks socialist dong. hope all you white, pant wetting liberals are proud of yourselves.

Concerned business owner, your parties propaganda failed to convince the majority of Americans. It's time to "share the wealth". I've given my sweat, blood and TAX money to this country all my life, while "business owners" like yourself receive tax breaks.....

Todd Drax: with all due respect, you are the racist.

its about time everyone has come to agreement that we all need a change. it does not matter if obama was white or 100% black. wee need a change""""""""

Thank you, dear God in heaven. Tonight there is hope for this nation.

God help U.S.

I cried watching Obama's acceptance speech. Of course he won't be a perfect President, but when I think back upon eight years of hate, torture, war, and narrow-mindedness, I cannot help but breathe a sigh of relief that the dark age is coming to an end. I can live with being poor as long as I can hold my head high.

It is important to note that the "changing faces of America" include groups of people noticeably left out of the dialogue within the mainstream media. Luckily, those same groups were heard LOUD AND CLEAR on this day! So, let it be a lesson to those very comfortable with the status quo: anyone willing to sacrifice the good name, the future and the standing of this great nation for the sake of staying in a comfort zone has an important lesson to learn from this election. A vote for McCain/Palin was a vote for the status quo, but the American people saw through that old smoke and mirrors game. We are smarter, better, and more hopeful than ever before because we have someone who speaks our language: unity, restoration and HOPE for a brighter future. Yes WE DID!

It's time to heal this country. We are one nation, one people with one voice. Let us show the world how great the United States of America really is.

Hey money can buy anything.

"The non-productive majority now realizes that it can vote itself handouts from the productive minority by electing the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury."

As Obama says "Spread the Wealth ..."

Socialism won tonight!

"Obama, however, has a dramatic edge among African-Americans (96 percent), Latinos (67 percent ) and Asians (63 percent). "

Who are the racists now?

NOW WE CAN MOVE FORWARD,YES WE CAN!!!!!!!

Thank you Mr. McCain for a fight well fought, but the right man won. I am pro-obama and we are going to come together and rebuild this nation.

Well John. You are a good man. You put up a good fight. I hope this is not your swan song. You have quite a bit left to give your country and your country needs your voice in the senate. Obama, congrats. You had my vote last week!!!! Biden, continue to speak your mind. We need people who go off script in seats of power. Palin, well what can I say? McCain had my vote till he chose you. Once you were chosen, as a woman, my vote was even more of McCain. 2 weeks after seeing you on the world stage, my vote was for Obama and I never looked back. BYE BYE SARAH!!! Out of the 4, you will be missed the very least.

All the money in the world will not save this country, but a lack of ethics and responsibility from politicians most certainly will destroy it.

Can you say change America! What an exciting time to be an American.

This is the first time I've been really ashamed of my country.
America has now elected a man who find major flaws in the Constitution, because it doesn't mandate socialism/communism, who votes to forbid medical care to babies who survive abortion, whose role models have all been terrorists, Jew haters, communists, and other America haters.
This is indeed a dark day!

All the media talks allot about white people being too racist to vote for a black candidate. It seems that the opposite is true. The results show that white people, in general are objective. On the other hand, this vote has shown the extream level of racism of the black population.

GOD BLESS PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

While statistically, it is important to break down how each ethnicity voted; ultimately, it comes down to Americans chose a man who can lead our country out of the mess its in. Whether black, white, red, green, yellow, pink, blue, or brown; we are Americans for change. I think its high time we put aside race as a factor because President Elect Barack Obama is BOTH African American and White! He is THE choice of THE people of our great land. God bless his presidency and may he do great things for us all. God bless the Obama family.
I am a 45- yr-old white woman, for your information.

On this day we have made it to "The Promise Land"! MLK you can RIP now, we did it!

Anybody who can't see the media decided this race long ago is blind and deaf.

The same corporations that gave Obama more money than any other candidate in history own the major media outlets. You expect them to be unbiased?

This image is clearly photoshopped, why I don't know, but it's pretty obvious, it's not even proportional

Whether people want to realize it or not america has taken one giant leap forward out of our infancy.

Congratulations to the senseless voting majority. We are well on our way to becoming a third world country.

Sorry McCain, your service to your country will not be forgotten, you are a good man and served your country well. Sir, you should have gone out with an honest campaign, you would have done a lot better. America will not forget you, thank you. I would have voted for you if it were not your promise of running a clean campaign then turnning it around, like you promised. Maybe it was wrong for Obama to change his mind over choosing donations, but you were equally wrong if not more by choosing your hateful miserable campaign. Atleast Obama had the self dignity not to take Arizona, the reason why he needed so much money was because Obama knew how hard this change for america would be. Are world standing will be improved greatly after the busch legacy. Good-night Mr McCain we still love you.

To be fair, you should also point out that the percentage of white voters who voted for Obama was actually higher than those voting for Kerry in 2004

No matter what the race/nationality voted for whom, one thing for sure is that this election has made history. 1. a women running for president. 2. the oldest man running for president. 3. the first African- American running running for president. 4. the first woman elected as a VP running mate.

I am proud to be a citizen in a country where this can only be possible. Truely amazing to be experience history being made. My congrats to the winner and CNN for the best non-biased election coverage.

PS. Delaware is now on the map, thanks to Joe Biden,but lost him as a very good Senator for the state.

Yes we did! May God Bless President-Elect Obama and Vic-President -Elect Biden. Thanks America! Obama will represent us all well.

get ready america is going down the drain

What is going to be the policy on immigration? Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Joe? Where are the toasters you promised?

Well I will never call that Socialist my president. As far as I'm concerned people voted for skin color as the polls showed. So who's the racists now?

Stop turning whites into a racist group. 43% voted for Obama.

Today marked the death of fascism in America! Hopefully, tribunals will follow taking those responsible for war crimes to task...

Good bye and good riddance Palin, you'r hate has no place in the lower forty eight

Our country is now truly blessed.
We ARE NOW the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!
Be happy and be gracious – be thankful!

Changing faces? Not in male controlled media conglomerates like CNN, NBC, MSNBC, FOX News. Not in the Oval Office – we still see male faces. Changing faces? Yeah, right. It's all about gender – and male privlege, no matter the color.

I was very impressed how graciously John McCain conceded. I think we all need to listen closely to him and be proud Americans no matter who leads us.

Some things are just meant to be.

Thank you America!!!!!!!!
