The election of Obama as president not only brings hope to the american people, but also to the world. Americans should be proud of their achievement in overcoming racial prejudice and the example that have just set for the whole world. They have turn a page in history and tell the world that everyone has the same opportunity in the US. I would like to congratulate the american people for electing the first african american president. I see greatness in Obama.

The country is split and we do everything possible to destory Osama and the rest of Liberals at each and every turn.

The fight continues ...

Republicans were dismissive of Hispanics and tried to scapegoat them for the problems in the economy that we now know were the fault of greedy investment bankers. They, unabashedly, pursued the agendas of powerful lobbyist and interest groups and ignored the interests of the people. McCain is a good man, but today he paid the price for the GOP's mistakes.

GOOD BYE SARAH YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN THE VICE PRESIDENT

Latinos didn't flee – they were pushed out like all of the other non-white people in American. I certainly hope the Republicans learn from this and start including the rest of America when they campaign. All of us are hard working Americans – not just white people. Please respect that.

@Independent_me

The remark of this individual struck a deep cord with me and what I stand for politically.

This remark defines what I hope for this nation. A nation united for our families, for our morals, and for what our forefathers defended when their lives were took for being Americans.

This is a moment in history undefined. Let us live it as such.

Wouldn't you??

'If' you were truly independent, you wouldn't have had either the Repug or Democraps on your mind, as popular as they are I can see that the shaking of the feed brought you in....love propaganda......oh....and George means: Tiller of the earth, a farmer.....um.....that didn't help much either eh.....neither will Barack,...more = same.

Independent_me,

You are deeply religious and have strong moral values.............

You try to belittle Republicans by calling them Repugs.
You call Republicans immoral, hateful and hypocritical.

Very nice (sarcasm).

So, at first you pat yourself on the back and then tear that
theory apart with ridicule. You do the same thing that you
accuse others of. Good job.

As a Canadian who loves & cares about life & the well-being of the world, I am THRILLED & extremely excited about the renaissance of the once & soon again to be great neighbour to our south. Congratulations to the citizens of your great country who have today redefined themselves in such a hopeful & meaningful way. Brooke Noftle, London, Ontario.

This is directly tied to the GOP immigration stance. I just feel that the GOP has focused so much on "illegal aliens" as opposed to recognizing that these are Christians that are coming across the border seeking help. I am very proud of the work our church does in helping a few of our fellow Christians.

Hallelujah!
Senator Obama's win is a win for humanity against. evil, for decency, truth against lies and cheats. The world would thank the American people for this historic moment. We can still have hope in the future.

Independent_me, you totally negated everything you said when you made it sound as if democrats/liberal-minded people have no strong family values or morals.

I'm sorry that the republicans don't focus on men boinking men enough to your liking.

That was predictable. I have had the opportunity to be neighbors with Hispanics of all types over the last 20 years. They are wonderful, humble people who have been handled very badly by the Rethuglicans all over South America, Mexico and the Caribbean. Much Latino blood has been spilled in the quest for power in Latin America. As a result many have come here from shattered countries to make a life. Not a new story. Welcome to America.

So be it...

I voted McCain, but a good night for America nonetheless. Very mixed feelings tonight.

President Bush was the worst president in the american history.

WHAT CAN I SAY ! WOLF JUST JUST ANNOUNCED OBAMA'S PRESIDENCY ! THANK YOU LATINOS ! THANK YOU EVERYBODY who voted obama

That's the response to bigotry and untolerance

John McCain can "thank" Geo. Bush for his (now two) presidential losses. Republicans can now rethink their fear and smear strategy – come up with some ideas folks and maybe you'll win in 2012.

What a truley Godless nation we have become... electing Obama just proves that. I'm disgusted with the American voters.

No shock there. Can you say border fence?

I understand why Latinos have fled the Repug Party..I used to be a Repug also.
I believe in strong family value
I am deeply religious
I have strong moral values...
These are things that the Repugs told people like me that they stood for. However, they simply USED those issues to sucker us in, then tossed us aside. They are immoral, hateful and hypocritical.
You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time...but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. Just can't happen.
I abandoned the Repug Party after the first Bush term. I had misgivings from the start when I saw what a nasty campaign they waged against Gore... After the first 4 years I knew that I could not belong to such a party anymore. I am now a confirmed Independent..and I voted for Barack Hussein Obama whose name means: "The blessed handsome one who is flexible"...

Geez, do you think that maybe they noticed that at all the republican rallys, the majority of people were white and not hispanic, asian, african american, etc. I know, I noticed it. The day of white supremacy, in particular, the republican party, is over. We are now truly the melting pot of the world and we can say buh bye to the KKK.

MAYBE IT'S THE INCLUSIVITY OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!!!

AND IN THE WORDS OF BILL CLINTON, WE DON'T NEED CAMERA TRICKS TO PROJECT IT.
