I have hope again that had disappeared with Bush.. It will be hard work but we will still work to make america thrive and prosper once again..

President Obama/ Vice President Biden

For the first time in my adult life, I am NOT happy to be an American.

Congradulations, We knew you could do it, thank you for representing the african american people in a proud and dignitfy manner you are truly and inspiration to the younger generation, you stood fast and got the victory now the real work begins. God has ordain you for this and his blessings is upon you.

May god bless you and your family

One good thing about Obama is he is black. That is a good thing for this country! Other than that he is a low down socialist. Now he can give his supporters what they want....other peoples money!

Mr Obama, THANK YOU , GOOD LUCK, and hopefully your charisma will inspire people all over the world to CHANGE !!!

YES WE CAN, YES WE DID. Ever heard of a redeemer? Well Barak is one, and they come one in decades if not centuries. Remember, it has taken 200 years for this alone. Congratulations President-elect, congratulations America. Indeed GOD BLESS AMERICA

Congratulations to my American brothers and sisters on the history that you made tonight. You have the type of leader that comes around once in this liftetime, you guys are lucky to have him in your midst. Take good care of him and we hope to see him when he visits our country. Once again congratulations, well done!

All I got to say is:

Nah Nah.......Nah Nah Nah Nah.....waaaaave good bye!

Go back to Alaska Caribou Barbie!

First thing he should do is impeach Bush and Cheney!

Then, he should throw Ted Stevens and Palin away!

Tell McCain......it's time to retire, old buddy. Take a seat!

Tyler, you're an idiot.

Are we ready for a black president? I think we must be, must be much more ready for a black president than a white woman in the white house. I am even saying that as a white woman.

Where WERE YOU on this historic day, 11/4/08? Obama's speech in Chicago tonight was very Presidential. He's very ready to govern.

I am so very proud and happy for the Obama and Biden families, and I am very thankful for being in this great land we call America.

I think voters made a wise decision, and I am just glad to be part of it.

Finally the label "Get stupid" is taken off America.

Just got back from rally in Chicago. There are no words to describe it. Hundreds of thousands of people – white, black, young, old – came together, embracing one another as we watched this truly historic event take place. I have never been so proud of my fellow citizens, and I have never been so hopeful for the future. Congratulations Senator...I mean President Obama. We did it.

Yes we did, and yes we will.

God Bless you President – Elect Obama. I feel like won the election. What a exciting day for America and all of her citizens, we have a unique opportunity ahead of us for our children and grandchildren.

I tell everyone our time is now, but we must work together to achieve our goals.

And so it begins...the dark days of America's descent into irrelevance and totalitarianism...How long before conservatives are jailed for thought crimes?

Obama supporters: you've got your wish. Are you ready to be disappointed? Are you ready to confess you were wrong if things get worse? Will you admit your mistake, or find some way to blame it on conservatives?

You've got the media, majorities in both house and senate, and you have the White House...If America falls, or if things become worse, who will be at fault? Or will you find a scapegoat in conservatives, as Hitler did with the Jews?

You've no idea what you've done.

God have mercy on us all

Tyler Pham: Wow....you're a genius! I'm sure any minute now Barack and Joe will pull their faces off and reveal themselves to be none other than Osama and Saddam!

I am thrilled.Watched the whole election which has cost me a lot of sleep. But it was worth it.

I am truly overjoyed at the news that Obama won tonight. I just wish my grandparents could be here to see it. America has come a long way. Obama and Biden does not equal Osama Bin Laden and I resent that stupid comment that was made. Ignorance still lives, but will not prevail. The American majority has spoken. It's time for us to come together. I just pray that McCain's supporters will come to terms with this and accept him as our President . God bless America, and our new President.

THANK YOU,GOD BIESS AND LONG LIVE PRISIDENT OBAMA

I'm from Australia and I have to say that I'm (including many many of my friends and family) are excited that the world now has a new kind of leader. Barack represents a shift in 'thought' globally that humanity must ask better questions if we're to save ourselves.

Congratulations America – a great decision!

Congratulations Mr.President Obama!
The whole world is very excited and proud of you!

From Malaysia

It's time to open our hearts and our minds and stop being ignorant...
Yes we can, Obama did it for us and he will continue doing this for us; and for the post in regards to Bin Laden/Biden...take a little time to treat your ignorance...
God Bless

Are we ready for an black president? I feel that we are, yes. Much more ready than we would be for a possible woman president.

I am registered Republican. After losing my job to a foreign country and seeing people lose their homes, some I know, which really cuts like a knife. We Americans work hard for everything we get. Sacrifice to survive. We have children we want to feed and have it better than our childhood. I know people working two to three jobs just to get buy. After reading Obama's campaign statement yesterday in the paper, I saw where he is going to go after the terrorists. I thought YEAH!!! this is my man. When I went to the poll, I thought this is the one I want to lead our country. Something must be done about other countries doing our work. People should take care of their own first, here at home, America..............

And who said that we couldn't do it....

CONGRATULATIONS PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA!

I didn't knock on doors, nor was I able to donate; but, I did, in fact, "campaign" for my two children (20 & 22 yrs.) to vote for you, and they did!!
THAT was my contribution (along with my own vote, of course)!!

WE ARE READY to be ONE INDIVISIBLE NATION, UNIFIED in our future endeavors. YES WE CAN!

Thank you & God Bless you, Barack, for taking on the challenges of present-day America and leading these UNITED STATES into a future filled with HOPE.

One Nation, undivided and created equal! I noticed that many republicans have nothing to say now. With 338 votes and counting to over 350 hopefully now the country understands that race is not the issue. Republicans are not bad. Just McCain and his policies and ideals. He was another Bush plain and simple. And with all the hate many people saw right through this. I salute the real Americans, the ones who see us as One Nation, undivided and created equal!

I'm so proud of us for telling the world that we are ready for change.

The job of the Presidency is a very challenging and demanding one, and Barack Obama will soon find this out. I am sure he is as up to the job as any of the presidents past have been. For this, I believe he will give us his best. One thing I am curious of is this: will the people be as direct in coming out to criticize him so quickly as they were with others? I doubt it, but we will see. I feel that people will be reserved, almost afraid to do so for fear of being thought of as racist. I hope this isn't the case. We will see what happens the first year of his presidency. Best of luck to all elected.

"I hope and pray Michigan will finally get some help."

Yes, with our taxpayer dollars....Michigan will continue to make cars nobody wants for the next 10 years.

I am so proud to have voted for Barack Obama. He is an inspiration for everyone in our country and around the world. I hope he takes a couple well-deserved days off to relax and regroup. I LOVE YOU BARACK!

"cynical and doubt based" politics that reduces America cultural warfare hopefully is dead. As a educated black person, I have had to deal with the people who cynical people who doubt my ability. I am inspired by the promise of America in a way I have never been before.

We all saw how he handled this incredibly tough campaign, with amazing strength and dignity and he NEVER let anyone drag him down into the muck. He's proven if anyone can clean up this mess he can. He is a true statesmen that will restore our place in the world and be a leader we can all be proud of. I am so thankful that he is here, and I am so proud of all of us for electing him! Yes we did!

You know, I really wish the media and everybody else would get this right.... Barack Obama will be the first BI-RACIAL President.

thank you Iowa for supporting Our president !! plz fix our Michigan>> its a big mess....united we stand !!

The best news to come out of the USA in my lifetime. Thank goodness for the youth and female vote.

Tyler, grow a brain.

Oh I see "Tyler Pham = yer ham". Zomg, r u really? Must be a message!

I knew we had it i us!!!

Hispanics for OBAMA!!!

hahaha, George Bush IS the republican party destroyer. Actually, he's more of a nation destroyer as a whole. But he definitely destroyed the Republican party.

I knew we had it in us!!!

is she pregnant ?

Independents and Republicans, welcome to the Big Tent, not just the Democratic Party, but OUR COUNTRY!

Overwhelming response not only in the Presidential election but also in Senate and House elections.

Why did Michelle wear a dress that made her look like like a Black Widow spider?

What a smart man! America gets itself a great president. Started thinking about those cabinet positions right after the Democratic Convention. It's not being cocky as a lot of those Republican might think. In fact, it's being thoughtful and smart.

Thank you God for this opportunity for our country. Please bless our president, his family, and our country, as we look to evolve into the great dream that is America. For this step tonight we are eternally grateful.

Yes we can!

God bless the Obama family and God bless America!

President Obama of the UNITED States of America.

How wonderful that sounds.

Congratulations to President-Elect and his family! What a historic event! The nation has come together more than ever before and shared their hopes in an undeniably formidable period that awaits. For all of the citizens who still struggle to put aside their irrational notions of Obama as terrorist, or, villain, I hope these next few years of realization aren't too painful as you see that the much needed change has arrived

CONGRATULATIONS TO MR BARACK OBAMA

To all of those people, Republicans, PUMAs, and people who simply don't like Obama. Who said some of the most unhelpful, negative, hateful things over these blogs for the last 2 years. I hope that each you realizes that he is going to represent you as well as his supporters because you are Americans, as we all are. As we ALL are. I hope you give him a chance.

God Bless.

congrats president -elect obama.. you have proved that you are a strong leader and the right man to take this great country into the right direction when it needs a great leader like you.. may God bless you and your family and be with you for the rest of your life when you will be working hard to restore the greatness of this nation..

congrats again!! and thank you..

what was with the dress

Congratulations to President Elect – President Barack Obama. God Bless You and God Bless American and the World we all live in.

Long live OBAMA!!!!!!!!! Finally CHANGE!!!!!! how REFRESHING!!!!!

Here's a message: McCain + Palin = Pain

Glad we'll have something different.

The world just became a better place. America has a new President-elect who will earn back the respect of many nations.

There hasn't been such elation since the Berlin Wall came down.

Well, I see that Tyler Pham and No Hillary, No Obama are still at it. Give it a rest you two. Be real americans and support our country by supporting our President. If he actually does something as President that you don't like, then you can start bashing him again. Other than that, no believes you anymore. We, the majority of the american people want a fresh start, a new face and look forward to having Barak Obama as our new President. You two are now in the minority.

Yes, we can! Yes, we will! Yes, we are! Yes, we did! Yes, we will!!!

Congratulations, President Elect Obama. Take a little time to rest before you dive into work again. We have faith in you and know that you will do your best.

They said this day would never come – President Barack Obama. Yes we can!

Hearty Congratulations to our President-Elect who persevered through a tough campaign and came out on top despite all the rumors and innuendo spread by the opposition. It gives me great relief to know that Palin and her brood will not be running around the White House sullying our country's image

Just think if Obama had the guts to pick Hillary as the VP – then you could truly say it was a historic day. But he didn't.

This is AMAZING!!

I couldn't be happier our country is heading in the right direction. We need the Republicans who supported McCain to come together with us to work hard to turn this country around. Whether some people chose Obama or not he is now going to be the President so we must all work together. Hope, Unity, and Change are on its way everyone must come together now and work.

We turned Indiana blue!!!!!!

Congratulations to the American Nation on your new and wonderful President!
I am writing from Germany and have american citizen children, living in Hawaii. In Feb 08 I was so very fortunate to hear Senator Obama over my sisters telephone recruting votes – If I were allowed to vote, I would have given him my vote also –
congratulations again – May the Lord accompany his very difficult journey along his way. God bless America – sincerely and Aloha, Heide E Ah Loy

Hello!!!!

President Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you and I am ready to serve you and the United State of Amercia.

Thank you Senetar Obama .... I mean President Obama!!!! The 44th President of the United State of america.

The hate-filled epithets from the the Right-wing losers is disgusting. Today, hope beat fear, and Americans unified in one voice to say, "We've had enough". God bless, and long live President Obama!

I hope and pray Michigan will finally get some help.

thank you George Bush- republican party destroyer

Hey guys, take a minute and think about this. "Osama Bin Laden = Obama Biden" Is this a message for America?

May God Bless this wonderful man, President Barack Obama, and his family.
I feel our nation has been blessed.
What a happy day!!!

And I'm happy Sasha and Malia finally get their puppy!!
