Congratulations to Obama !!

and all those who went out and voted !! – that is truly exciting and Obama motivated the young and all to go out and vote…….. that to me is the biggest thing he did to win this election !! – this is no small thing … there was no lame excuse – he ran a fantastic campaign

World… pl. learn that its a privilege to vote… and any election anywhere, people need to vote. Look at this historic moment of democracy…. I am so happy to have been part of this !!

I breathe a sigh of relief and am filled with hope to see the outcome of this election. I am so proud that Americans have shown that they can come together to do the right thing! Every one of us must now roll up our sleeves and get behind Mr. Obama to help him do the job he must do. We voted our support of his vision, creating this time for change and now we must not abandon him to do it alone. President Obama and citizens together, working side by side, will achieve what is best for our nation and for the world. Now we must get in the trenches with him – put our shoulders to the wheel and fearlessly work hard to fulfill our commitment to a future of promise – not just for the children of America, but for all the world's young, the next generations to carry the dream of peace, global community and prosperity forward.

I'm a Republican, I voted for McCain.

What's done is done, and I am very impressed with the response from world leaders. I'm glad Obama has already raised the credibility of America, and I now hope he can continue to make good on his promises and bring prosperity to America in the next four years.
He embodies what is great about this Country and its Constitution, that everyone is equal and has opportunity. He has seized this opportunity, and I hope he makes the most of it.

With this defining moment in the history of mankind, the light held high by the lovely Lady Liberty shines brighter than ever. This proves that with a will there is a way. WIth hope there is promise. With dreams do come reality. The only requirement is effort.

What I would like to see more than anything is that this 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, holds onto his cloud of greatness and uses it to further peace, prosperity, and the rights of all humans in this country and the world. We are all our brother's keeper. We all bleed the same blood. Gay, Straight, White, Black, disabled, non-disabled: we should all be given the same basic rights granted under the wonderful document that defined this great country.

Good luck Barack and God Bless America!

PEOPLE…YOUR NEGATIVE SPIRITS, COMMENTS AND CONSTANT ARGUEMENTS WILL NEVER REVIVE A COUNTRY THAT HAS BEEN MANIPULATED, DOWNTROTTED AND DESTROYED FOR YEARS. YOU DARE DEMAND 1 MAN TO FIX WHAT MANY HAS DESTROYED FOR DECADES AND 1 HAS BURIED IN 8 YEARS.

STOP THE BICKERING. PRAY AND BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER. IT IS TIME TO JUST STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning America!

This is a new day! I am a black woman filled with joy, pride and hope. Haiti, my country, was the first Black Country to set the road for freedom. Now President Barack Obama is the First African American to be elected as the number one leader in this free world.

Hope is among us for generations to generations. The Greatest country in the world has turned the page of slavery to a new chapter. Sky is the limit for all human kinds.

Let's hold hand together, one world and one nation.

God bless USA!

We all should be happy for President elected Obama because here was a man set his mind and soul to go against all odds and did the impossible.When God is with you who can be against you..I was told by my grandmother that a black person was only good for cleaning up behind people in her days and her mother also…Well guess what America? MR President Obama is here to clean up all mess that President Bush did in office…

I didn't vote for Obama, but my fellow citizens have spoken- may he leave this country in better shape than what he found it- Good Luck, and God Bless….

This is only the second time in my life I felt I was in the presence of greatness. The first was watching the great Secretariat win the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths. The second was watching Barack Obama sweep this country and finally head us in the right direction.

Two very different experiences but greatness felt nonetheless.

When "that One" went to Berlin, he knew what most of us in our minds understand. We need the world with us. We no longer have the SUPER-power capabilities to be all things to all people (countries). Especially after Preisdnet Bush and the Republican Congress for 6 of the last 8 years, bankrupted us financially. As well, we are morally bankrupt in the eyes of many citizens of the world.

You may say, we don't need those other people.
I would simply say, especially for the Chinese, we need their money and their investments to keep us aflota. If the Chinese pulled their money, we could probably be bought by the Saudi's. Perish the thought of that.

This guy is brilliant and he sees things that are sometimes dismissed. Let's pray that goodwill from other countries last throughout his terms as President.

Thanks America the Beautiful! Its a new day….change has come and I'm really proud of my country today!!!

Congratulations President-Elect Obama…the world awaits your inauguration!

Yes we can and Yes we WILL become an even better nation!

Even at my age the strength of role models cannot be overestimated. Barack Obama has created a new model for African-Americans and the world. Truly no man or woman has any excuse but to achieve his or her dreams to the fullest. Today all of us, as Americans, can walk with our heads held a little higher and our backbones a little straighter.

The people of America have once again showed great courage in electing Barack Obama President of the the United States of America. I have had great faith in the young man I heard speak at the DNC in 2004. He has not changed his stance on what he believes the American people want, and he will truly be a great great President. I am so very very proud of the American people for ignoring the slurs, lies and deceit of this very shameful campaign. I am so very proud of our young people for help making this election come true. It was a wonderful sight to watch blacks, whites, all nationalities on TV come together as one, it was a truly inspiring moment I will always cherish. Okay America, lets pull up our sleeves and help our neighbors and this country to move into the 21st Century with Barack Obabma!

hey Steve r Get a job! OOO wait there is no jobs, because of Bush!!!! I am so tired of people who have fallen for Bushes lies and Mccains lies. I cant wait for Obama to prove them wrong!! And He Will!!! But We all know that these Mccain sapporters will hang on to the lies so they can stay angry. cause its like a drug to them!!!

to Sick….now you know how the majority of Americans (and people abroad) have felt for the last 8 years of "leading by buffoonery" and "nucular danger"

To Stephanie R:

Your comment brought tears of joy to my eyes. I love this COUNTRY! The people have spoken and the world will listen. This is so amazing. I don't know what else to say…

Obama may not be able to pull our country together in the end, but at least he's gonna try. That's more than we can say for most politicians.

Friends,

the Almighty God has given a chance to exploit to everyone under His sun. He Said to Cain, If you do like able i will accept you!

No one should be discouraged!

God Bless

get over it guys, Obama is now the President of USA, whether you like it or not, hope you will find it in your hearts and move on because you will be surily leasern to him the next 8 years

Just want to add my name to history. I was in tears myself when I saw Mr. Martin of CNN, Mr. Jessie Jackson and Mrs. Oprah Winfry tears stripping down of their faces. I thought of the African American struggles and how far they have come.
Congratulation Barak, let's bring the Prestige back to America.

Rachid

College Station, Texas

I'm with the world leaders. Obama rocks!

God has opened doors and I am thankful to be apart of history. I pray for President Elect Obama's success as he takes this country forward and to a higher level

»VICTORY! AMERICA ROCKS! YES! Ooh!

Every fiber in my body and soul tells me we've made the right choice! Our future is MUCH brighter today!

The American people elected someone that can talk in complete sentences its that simple, someone who understands truly what "give peace a chance" really means. John Lennon would be proud!!!

A concern seemingly overlooked, it does not matter your chosen party or your intake of this monumental moment in history. Do not be mislead ny the powers that be. If we surrender our military at this juncture in Iraq, we nail our coffin shut. If we allow our arms to be taken from us, we are on our knees. I support our country in it unified movement but will not concede our military deaths to be in vain and will not allow my loved ones to be unarmed in the time that we live in. I pray that Obama is ready for this task as he seems to have less experience in foreign policy and people around me do not feel as secure now.

Last night, Obama received a phone call from Canada's PM Harper. No mention of it here. Kind of strange given that Canada is the United States' largest trading partner. More American jobs rely on continued strong trade with Canada than with any other nation, and Canada is currently providing half of the US's supply of oil. One would think that the details of what Canada's Prime Minister had to say to Obama would merit at least a sentence or two?

where are the riots? Where is the collapse of the world that the GOP claimed would occur if they did not win?

Time to heal boys and girls. Dems, do not gloat. Repubs, stop believing all the lies your party has told you and get ready to WORK TOGETHER.

This is a beckon of light for a country that has appeared dim on the world's grand stage. I hope that our country doesn't set its expectations too high because everything takes time but we have a great leader whose ready and able to renew our country.

With 8 years of George W. Bush and that he alienated the whole world. 70 countries were endorsing Barack Obama. He is our 44th President of the United States. We all will see what he will do for this Country.

Obama did inspire alot of people…He won the highest office in the nation, and for an African-American man who started out as a Community Organizer it proves that anyone can be President.

May you be blessed with good health and do the impossable, Unite the United States and the world.

Thank-you and bless you President elect and Vice President Barack Obama and Joe Biden

Re: Marge's comment that a dog could have won… if that were true, Kerry would have won in '04. I think that the nation responded to a true leader, an intelligent statesman and inspirational orator. I think the world has responded as well, and I am so grateful to feel optimistic again, and cannot wait for my next trip outside the country. This time, I'll get to be proud to be an American.

Canada thanks all who voted for Barack Obama…. we all hope he will impact The world and North America in a big and positive way. Congradulations to you all!!!! P.S. Your favorability with the rest of the world just got a HUGE boost and that makes us all much safer.Thanks again and good luck!!

Now is the time for all American's to come together. It's time all racial overtones be laid to rest.It's time for a change not only policy wise but humanity purposes. Let this world be a better place and let our country show great promise in resolving our countries past racil problems. It's time to execute Obama's change!!!!

In the rise and fall of nations, I had thought that the US had turned a corner during Mr George W Bush's tenure, after reaching its zenith during Mr Bill Clinton's reign. Now it seems and I truly hope that the with Mr Obama's win, the fall is reversible.

This victory is unprecedented in the history of presidential elections in the US. The whole world was watching, hoping and praying for an Obama victory if only for the desired change in America and indeed the whole world. Congratulations President elect Obama, Congratulations America and congratulations to the world.

I am so happy that we have someone in office that will garner the respect from other world leader and not just act without reason or rational. Great work America.

Israel should be very worried.

Barack Obama Has raised the barr for Blacks
No more "I am being discriminated against"
that will be BS!!!!!!!!!!!!! get to work!!!!!!!!!

To Steve R:

Why come on here and be disrespectful? Your rudeness doesn't make your journey in life any easier. Ease up and give this man a chance. We are all made to do great things. If we work together, we can return America to what she should be. Let's put aside these immature differences and work to heal this Nation. Peace to all.

If 9/11 was this century's darkest hour, we awoke to the golden bands of it's brightest morning.

Congrats to all of us! and its my Birthday too! what a great gift to wake up to!

America has always preached that it is "the land of the free" while racism has run wild and freedom of speech has been suppressed for most of its history. With Barack Obama as President we can now hope that America will foster the freedom it has always laid claim to.

Jehovah is with him…… God Bless you President Obama

He has given himself to History.

boy that feels good. Remember last time….when there were websites full of apologies to the world from Americans who tried to get Bush out…..no apologies necessary this time. for the world to know that we are back….that we are part of the world again, and they are welcoming us back like the prodigal son….boy that feels good.

The United States of America as we knew it yesterday will no longer exist. We are now free to throw out the constitution and rule the country with compasion and liberalism. Capitalism and the free market are dead. It's been a long time coming but we finally got here.

YES, We can…………. Congratulations to the Democratic party for the victory. Its time for a change and I know that change is coming. We did it America!, We did it!………God Bless OBAMA, his family and his team for the next years to come. We are ONE nation! and YES we can make a difference! Much love!

I like how god apparently voted Democratic this year? From all the religious here in the bible belt, at least this area, they're all feeling forsaken by god because they were just sure their prayers and needs of not having a heathen Muslim foreign (half-)black man become president.

Thank you, vote count, for blessing us with a victory from Obama. You, vote count, and you alone have decided and personally effected the world we live in. All praise Vote Count and in all of his glory and holiness.

Hey, Chris in St. Louis: I live in a red state (Tennessee), and I'm sorry they just don't get it here. Go Obama.

President Obama showed confidence throughout his campaign months and that for me is the secret to a mans success.Your historic victory tells me that i can dare to achieve anything i set out my heart to…I congratulate you sir…

First off let me start by saying congratulations America on a job well done. Not only have we made history, we have overcome. I would normally not comment on these sites but the first comment from Marge struck me as odd, who said that there is a belief that Obama won this election by himself, it took a nation to get him into the oval office and for that I am grateful. As should you be. And as far as Bush how dare you state that the Republicans have only him to blame, I beg to differ they have themselves to blame as well for continuing to vote for someone who was for himself and his family for day one. Marge, I honestly hope that you are FOR change and not against it, because without change we can NOT move forward and as Obama has so graciously reminded us…..YES WE CAN……and I'd like to add YES WE DID !!!!!!

OH yeah all his scary friends…..who don't like America!

It was time for a change. America made the right decision. Congrats to McCain he draws all my respect but Palin may have set back the chance of a woman president by decades

»CELEBRATION time! YES! Oooh!

We now will have a President who can make us proud. A President who was elected because of the vision he has to lift up America and restore our country to the proper position it once occupied in the community of nations. A President who will take his responsibilities toward our country seriously. A President who will be focused on doing what is right for our country.

Congratulations Mr. Obama from me, my family and friends on being our president. There is a long and harsh road ahead & WE are dead sure that you will be able to go far ahead. God bless you and God bless USA and the WORLD.

I am so PROUD to be an American today. We have finally overcome and stand united as our founding fathers did.
Humanity has returned to this country and we proved on 11/4/08 we are a country you will overcome whatever is thrown our way to stand TALL, PROUD, CONFIDENT and UNITED for our FREEDOM our COUNTRY and our PRESIDENT.

Thank you President Obama

Just feels good to be headed down a different track! Now all we need to do is keep the momentum going in the right direction. We're off to an excellent start! GREAT JOB AMERICA!!!

Allelujia! This is awesome. This guy deserves the win.

The people have chose the right leader to take this country and make this country what it needs to be. I'm sorry that Marge feels a dog would have won considering our current state of the union, but Obama represents the majority of the U.S.A. Being of mixed race he truly represents the "The Melting Pot", this country embraces but never practiced. I just walked into work and I can not beleive the response and attitude of some of my (white) co-workers that are not doing any better than I. I am just going to stay prayed up.

My congratulations to you, President Obama, and may God be with your family.

He is not just the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BUT ALSO "THE PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD"

Spend time in China. You'll realize there's no shame to them to just say whatever to look good. I mean, I'm sure they're happy to trade Bush for Obama, but don't expect them to be all about change and cooperation just because someone else was elected.

In future elections, we must never forget how truly horrible President Bush and the 6 years of full republican control were. Although, if not for these 8 years of disasterous leadership, there would be no President Obama. So, if we had it to do over again, is President Obama worth the trillions of dollars in deficeit, the misgivings about our government, the secrecy, the man sized safe in Cheney's office?

I truly hope so. Bush was a really, really, terrible President.
Time will tell.
Yes we did!

Here we go! We are so ready! We are with you President-elect all the way! WE CAN DO THIS…YES WE CAN!!!!!!

This is the day that the LORD has made! I personally wil rejoice and be glad in him! GOD HAS BLESS AMERICA!

congrats hussein obama!!!!!!

where is my check chump?????????

Congratulations Sen. Barack Obama – the 44th president of the United States.

Thank you Sovereign Lord Jesus Christ for blessing the world with such a wonderful healing leader , he is definitely needed at this defining moment in American history. May your will be done in and through Barack !

Amen.

The world leaders are looking forward to working with the elected President Obama. He does not deem to be a threat. The world leaders had to protective for their country because of the arrogance of the US. Now that we have a man that is truly God fearing, a man of substance, humility and character we will become friends with leaders nationwide. May God give him the wisdom, knowledge and understanding when he needs it the most. May God continue to manifest Himself to this nation and nations abroad. Amen!

Of course, I am VERY happy that Obama won, and I look forward to the changes coming to this great country.

HOWEVER, there is another story yet to be discussed… VOTER TURNOUT.

I worked the polls yesterday, and even in our relatively small residential precinct here in Phoenix… we saw a greater than 50% turnout at the polls. AMAZING… and what was equally, if not more amazing, was the number of early ballots that were mailed in!

And I want to congratulate the youth of this country – I saw more 18 year old voters than I've EVER seen or even heard about yesterday! It was so heart warming to see entire families come in simply to watch their young son or daughter cast their first vote.

America – you've inspired me once again.

This white, 34 yr. old mom who lives in the country cried last night as he gave his acceptance speech. What a proud moment in time for our country. We have overcome those who hate based on color and not on the content of their character. You could see the sense of pride, responsibility and humility on his face. He faces a great task in trying to fix the problems our country faces. He will be a great leader not only for us but for the world. I am proud to have voted for Obama and I look forward to seeing what he can do. May God bless President Barack Obama and the UNITED States of America!!!

The responses from world leaders show the promise that exists with the election of Barack Obama. Barack not only inspired Americans, he truly inspired the people of the world who see Barack as positive change. What an awesome task lies ahead for Barack Obama. But like many great leaders before him, Barack appears to be fired up and ready to go!

I have always been proud of my country, but I have never been prouder than today. For one, I feel that Americans are really taking credence in common sense, in intelligence, and in the hope that we all can make a difference.

Let's use the next four years wisely and productively. Let's take the same determination, discipline, and respect illustrated in Obama's campaign and apply that to our everyday lives.

Our time is now.

This type of election is long over due. We' have been forever seeking for a change in our Country, but was lost for words, not knowing if there ever a day we will see our Country represent unity and properity for all.
I am proud of our young people who took this election very serious and encouraging one another. It's great to really be able to say we are truly Americans in this great Country!

Wow,

The whole world has drank the koolaid.

God help us!!

I feel very proud that we as American's see Obama as he has stood before us as a man, not his race, but a man who honestly wants to change our country! It's about time! We are all human, all American's, and to see the large gatherings across the country cheer as did around the world; made me so Proud to be an American!!

Catherine,
Being a teacher you should have much more command of the English language as well as the spelling my dear. I would hate for you to be teaching my sons in school. You wear your move on t-shirt with PRIDE and you want to bless Obama for BEING your president elect. Please tell me you teach pre-school!

I am not an American but so proud of this country right now. My heart is "exploding" with sweet heartfelt pride. I have lived in ten countries and travelled in 60 and it is true that Obama's story can ONLY be told in America, – land of the free and where anything is possible. I can now begin the process of acquiring my American citizenship and put my skills at work for the betterment of the greatest country in the world.

Brendan H., San Antonio, TX November 5th, 2008 9:33 am ET
I wonder how many of these esteemed leaders will offer best wishes to fearless "Jet-Pilot" when he leaves office?!
I'm betting not too many!!!
———————————————-
Shut up, you little snot-nose. Do you know what it takes to be a fighter pilot? They face dragons you can't even "dream" of. You little puke!

Once again we have shown the world that in this country democracy is triumphs. Obama,s election is more than just a dream come true. Let us now put away partisanship and work with our new President for the good of our country.

These comments by foreign leaders continue to feed the hope and pride I have been feeling ever since I decided to support and campaign for President-Elect Obama. It is so important that we repair all the damage we have caused in world relations over the past eight years under Bush, and I'm so,so proud of what this nation accomplished last night!!!

I can't seem to wipe the smile off my face this morning!!!!

Good luck Mr. President!

Congratulations to the next President of the U.S.A, Obama . I realize it is a rough journey especially in this time of the world’s economic crises that the next President must confront. This is just the beginning of a new direction after eight years of turmoil created by both parties and the world! I hope God will guide you to bring this Great Nation’s World trust and credibility that has deteriorated over the past years. Obama ‘s Presidential victory has proven that change is possible and Freedom really speaks in this Great United States of America .

Congratulations President Obama!

As an outsider who has the deepest respect and admiration for the American "idea" but who also has been disillusioned by the direction it has been going of late, I say this: Well done America! What I saw last night moved me more than I could have imagined. Seeing the Obama and Biden families on stage in Chicago before thousands of Americans of all types was truly a moment for the ages. This is not only a hopeful moment for you, but I am sure for millions around the world. Congratulations, congratulations, indeed.

I am just more than happy to be alive, I am happy to be an American, and happy to see America as a great country as our founding fathers dreamed of. The entire world truly should be proud of the American people.

Catherine, God help the kids you teach! 1) you wear a t-shirt with pride not proud, 2) t-shirt is not capitalized, and 3) for being our president not for been our president. You don't teach grammer I hope!

Congrats to Barack! Thanks for your service John!

No more Cowboy Politics and Policies.

I have complete faith that Barack Obama will unite the country and the world. We'll have an active President hungry to bring about real progressive change. Excellent choice America. We got it right this time

Marge …. NO!!! It was a tough victory. It really makes me sad to see so much division. See all those red states in the south that went for McCain … A republican dog would have won those states this election no matter what the issues were!

It is not just Mr. Bush, I would add Palin too for McCain's defeat apart from his inconsistent message, and often mean spirited ads.

Senator Obama's election is not only an historical event for this, the United States of America; but it will serve as and prove to be a catylistic vehicle for global interrelations. Mark my words.

On another note, it's great to know that all these world leaders for whom Bush ruined relations with support Barrack Obama as the next president. I think that by electing Obama, we have proven to the world that America is changing for the better.

Congratulations America. You have proven yourselves worthy of the gift and greatness of America.

It is us, the people of our country that saw the need for change and the potential for putting our country back on track.

After 8 years of darkness, I am proud to be an American again.

CATHERINE MENDOZA————-

I THANK GOD YOU DO NOT TEACH MY CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As my husband and I watched the elections, we had tears of joy running down our faces. God bless you, President Obama!

I just want to say how happy I am for the United States and for the world. The election of Barack Obama marks the dawn of a new erea of peace and understanding everywhere. It also states that absolutely anything can be accomplished.
I watched Obama's speech on CNN last night, from Ottawa, Canada, and I cried and felt the strong connection that he will bring to the world.
Congratulations to the United States for choosing the change that is so vital during the difficult economic times we are facing right now.
Elizabeth Sokol

I'm glad that we can come together as one and work with everyone across the country.

Hoping that the world can come together and become one living in peace…

Best wishes to Barack Obama and Joe Biden

Funny; I don't see anyone asking the opinions of Hamas or Al Qaeda.

Maybe they didn't answer the phone.

Probably because they're all out dancing in the street.

I was so happy for all Americans. We exercised our rights and we are heard.

I think the plethora of these comments from various parts of the world show that this was not only a victory for the United States of America, but a victory for the international community. Hope and inspiration has been infused in our people and in millions of people across the globe. I think this global recognition is only the beginning as to how America can become respected in the world again. We have Obama's positive message to thank for that.

OBAMA 2008. OBAMA 2012.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!

God is truly had His Hand in this election!

I hope and pray this changes the way Americans are viewed. Not all of us are Bush replica's!!!

Glory to God.

"The world is one but country and mankind its citizens" – Baha'u'llah.
I am thrilled to see the world take one more step towards achieving that great goal.

Wow. This is awesome.

Even though they are diplomatic formalities, I really liked what Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao had to say. China is ready willing and able to start a new, cooperative, working relationship with the new incoming administration in Washington. Our relationship with China is vitally important.

»MEMORABLE! MEMORABLE! VICTORY! VICTORY! OOH!

»VICTORY!VICTORY!OOOH! HISTORY! HISTORY! YES!

This is a wonderful time for The United States of America, a great time for all ethnic backgrounds to come together and work for one common goal, peace and prosperity here in America and the world.
America, our time has come to right the wrongs that has troubled our country and the world. We must now go forward and do our part and help President-Elect Barack Obama make this nation and the world a better place for those that will come after us. May God Bless the United States of America.

Obama now has to show himself that he is for the Middle East peace and not become a stooge for Israel and their lobby. Bush and McCain were two spies of Israel. Obama has to offer something different, adn that's, I, along with many others, voted for him. To bring change.

A fine moment in American History.

I believe Obama will try to become the greatest President ever. I voted for him for many reasons. I am a white Republican (recently changed to being a democrat because of the GOP "fear" tactics) in the Panhandle that truly appreciates his message of bringing hope again to Americans instread of fear.

I believe World leaders will see a strength and intellegence they will respect and listen to. It was a great worry of what the McCain/Palin radical views overseas would do to us with terriorism. I feel much, much safer with Obama on foreign affairs.

Economically, we had to have Obamas policies to survive the next four years. Those are the facts and that's why he won.

YES WE CAN AND WE DID!! GOD BLESS AMERICA WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY WHAT A WONDERFUL AMERICA

Where's the Canadian reaction? I KNOW my country is celebrating with the USA!

what about RUSSIA?

I commend these world rulers for their comments to congratulate President Obama, this show that these countries are willing to work with the United States to make this world a better place. We don't have to be enemies with other people we can make this world a better place by working with them. Even these countries doesn't look at the color of his skin but by the content of his character and i think all Americans should do the same. GOD BLESS PRESIDENT OBAMA, GOD BLESS AMERICAN, AND GOD BLESS THE WORLD.

I'm not a world leader. Nor would I ever wish to be. The responsibility and burden is far too great. But to our new President-Elect, and the next President of the United States of America, along with his running mate, our next Vice President , Joe Biden…Congratulations sirs, and as an American citizen I will do my part in helping to make this a better nation for all of us, and a better world.

Oh, one more thing Mr. President… what kind of puppy are your daughters planning on getting?

I hope that these world leaders are sincere and truly willing to work together to clean up pollution, feed the hungry, and protect all citizens from terrorism. We're all in this together!

In Europe we have always believed in Obama and really hoped that he would be elected which is a fact now.
More than 80 % of the Dutch people favored him already for months.

It will be very hard to change the things as they are …but you do have the support from all over the world.

Congratulations from The Netherlands !

People are coming together.

These comments by leaders from around the world are incredibly hopeful and inspiring. Where are the comments from Latin America? My fervent hope is that an Obama Administration can now forge a new and more cooperative approach with those Latin American democracies which the Bush Administration has treated with such contempt.

I am touched by the congratulations and tributes to President-Elect Obama pouring in from around the world today! Though I supported Sen. McCain, I stand firmly behind our new President. He is a strong leader and offers all of America the great confidence of strengthing our bonds of friendship with our fellow citizens around the world . This historic event has brought us all closer.

I am very proud of our country. We finally got it right! In our President elect we have hope, hope for a new day where peace will be given a chance.

Where's Canada? Where's Mexico? Don't you care what your two closest geographical neighbours had to say? Typical American news media.

I am wearing my blue moveon.org T-Shirt with proud.
I am a teacher in Miami, Florida
God bless you for been our president.

o bama youre great man in world .i want people remenber the big brother tupac

This is so nice, compared to the negativity we have witnessed for so long from others. It surely looks like we have found a leader that hopefully, can bring us and the nations of the the World together again in a reasonable manner?

"Yes we can" and we will!

Congratulations are flowing in from all over Europe and the Third World, showering their appreciation on America for validating their way of life. We are now just like them!

President Elect Obama,
You have impacted every corner of the world. You have cast a net of hope in every Nation and Town. May God bless your efforts to change the status quo and facilitate peace, and prosperity for all…here in the United States and by extension the rest of the world.

It is now a fact…..America is the truest land of opportunity! …where else on earth, would one's courage, noble vision, fortitude and perseverance yield fruition and be given a chance to express and excel regardless of one's creed, color or ethnicity!.

The country is a shinning example of what humanity should aspire to be despite it all shortcomings. Dr. Martin Luther King will be "tickled pink" where ever he may be today!

I wonder how many of these esteemed leaders will offer best wishes to fearless "Jet-Pilot" when he leaves office?!

I'm betting not too many!!!

As an Independent voter, I think the correct decision was made last night for our country. I wish there would be one thing the Republicans would take from this and that is this:

The United States is a diverse and intelligent nation of people that cannot be frightened into chosing their leaders. The RNC and McCain-Palin ticket used shameful scare tactics and negative propoganda to appeal to those voters with the least amount of education and exposure. They used fear to try and stoke deep seated anger and hostilities to rally ONE group of voters; the "Joe Six Packs" and "Joe the Plumbers".

The American people are more than that. We are Black, White, Brown, Yellow and Red. We are Protestant, Catholic, Muslim, Buddhist, Agnostic, and even Atheist. We are Conservative, Liberal, Moderate and Independent.The President has to appeal to EVERYONE.

Somewhere along the way, Republicans lost sight of this.
This Presidential election says to the world that All Men Are Created Equal, indeed. No more excuses, America. Live up to your God given potential. let's now rally together as ONe Nation Under God and make this world a better place.

God Bless America. I love this country.

Imagine the the world actually liking the USA for a change … what a concept.

america, i'm very proud to be your neighbour. congratulations to the new first family of the united states.

Congratulations Obama your are truly GOD sent and many blessings upon you and family — My prayers are with you that GOD will continue to give you the vision, wisdom to lead the country as a whole –We are one–GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

It wasn't until I read these heartfelt congratulations that I fully understood the magnitude of this WIN for America. We have to do our part to fotify President Obama so the dream can be manifested for ALL people! I am a proud American today!

The republicans only have one person to blame. BUSH. It is going to be nice to have a democratic administration. But it is silly to think obama did it on his own. Even your pet dog would have won this election if he had run as a democrat.

I predicted this outcome. I was certain of it. Now I fill much more secure in America.
We all needed this change badly, at all levels (education, energy,exorbitant gas prices witch in turn made exorbitant prices for everything else specially food, global warming, etc…).
We were all neglected in favor of war and of making the usual few richer.

Congratulation Mr le President de l,USA :Barack Obama.
You make me and my family happy .And now on i will work very hard so that one day ,my son or my daughter will become why not a President of state. Thanks you.
May the goods spirits protect you and your family.Amen

the power of god has taken over the united states of america. I have never been this happy in all my life. I am all the way here in Jamaica but I see Obama's victory as a victory for the world not just the American people. God is showing the world that he is still in charge and I know that this is the ultimate reason behind obama's victory.

The world rejoices with President-elect Obama and the American people. I believe with God's help and Mr.Obama's wisdom and good judgement America will rise again.
God be with you Mr.president-elect

I am printing the above and save it for my children to read when they grow up.

I feel really good about President Obama; we will move forward.
I'm very very happy!!!

YES WE CAN

That's what's up. I'm glad he wasn't listening to the smears. Obama will be a great ally to Israel.

That's what's up… I'm glad he wasn't listening to the smears.

The Countries choice in Obama is the reality that we cannot continue to attack countries without definite provocation and that dialogues for peace are a viable option. History has proven such, now lets hope future Presidents will realize the will of the majority.

As I travel around the world speaking of the Gospel of Jesus christ on love for neighbor, I can once again be pround of the United states. Our generosity to others in crisis has never waned; but our image since the Iraq war has overshodowed the true hear of Americans.

This is the most amazing day ever for America. I know the world leaders are just as excited as we are about working with the new President elect…

OLMERT, YOU AND YOUR COUNTRYMAN BETTER RUN AND HIDE.

CONGRATULATIONS PRESIDENT OBAMA, WE FEEL SO PROUD OF YOUR WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT, IT REMINDS US OF THE DAY WHEN NELSON MADELA BECAME PRESIDENT IN SOUTH AFRICA. YOU HAVE BROUGHT TEARS OF JOY TO SO MANY PEOPLE IN AMERICA AND IT WAS WONDERFUL TO SEE AND FEEL THE EMOTIONS OF YOUR SUCCESS AND THE SUCCESS OF THE SPIRIT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
GOD'S RICHEST BLESSING AND MAY YOU GO FORTH WITH PRIDE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD.
FROM PROUD SOUTH AFRICANS
BERYL AND DODO PILLAY CAPE TOWN

praise god !

Congraulations to newly elected president , Senator Obama and his entire team on his timely and historical win last night.
We here in the Turks and Caicos Islands are very proud of you and your achievement. We stand proudly with you and your commitment for a brighter tomorrow, a better nation, hope to believe and for the change that has come.

We love you Obama and we love the United States of America.

Thank you Mr. Prime minister

WOW! Let us get behind our newly elected president. Let us all work together to make this country and this world a better place. Perform our best at work, strive for excellence in school, reach out a helping hand to a neighbor…stay involved. Obama is not a savior but a man the majority has chosen to lead during the next four years. He cannot do it alone.

I too feel proud of North America, to live in a great country in which my son can have endless dreams and opportunities. I hope that President Obama puts an end to all the descrimination going on for both Latinos and Muslims. That immigration comes up with a fair and much needed reform and that Mr. Obama urges the senate to make things clear for everyone that is already living and has made this great country their home and work next to blacks, white's, Asian's, Middle Easterns, Europeans, and all races that make up this country. Si Se Puede! Yes We Can!

Congratulation Mr President Elect, Barack Obama.We wish you all the best from all our heart. We pray and hope that you will be able to serve all people and across the world.

The Republic of Gambia

FINALLY! Our image around the world will be restored!

Once more, the United States of America will be the #1 nation in the world.

I'm so glad that Barack Obama has been elected to be President of our great country. May he make all People be proud to be American. John McCain, also made us proud tonight. He is a true American Hero. He fought a good fight until the end. Thank you, John McCain for all you has sacrificed for our country.

Democrats are well known for cutting the military back. This weakens the country not strengthen it. Many jobs will be lost for the faulty thought of saving on the budget. Credit is the real problem with this country. If everyone lived WITHIN their means then everyone would be better off. Getting into debt then squelching on that debt is the reason things are bad off. Companies are laying off because they are in heavy debt, instead of producing only what is needed they overproduce and cut their own necks. As a result our jobs in the process. The president can never change or affect this. The president is an almost powerless trophy title. We have to change our own selfish desires. Live within our means, will mean never going into debt. Yes, you wont have everything everyone else has, but that doesnt mean your life is worth any less. It just means you'll have to wait for what you want instead of getting that selfish instant gratification from credit.

Finally. We are on the path to changing our relations with the world. I never could understand why we wouldn't care what other countries think in this increasingly smaller world. I am so proud of my country today.

AT LAST! Our international reputation is restored. President Obama represents the best of America. After so many years of squandering the goodwill and trust of the rest of the world, we finally have a leader not just for our great nation, but for all nations. God Bless America!

AMERICA AS WE KNOW IT CHANGED LAST NIGHT,

AMERICANS WILL PAY THE PRICE FOR NOT BEING EDUCATED BY VOTING FOR OBAMA.

BUSINESSES WILL BE GOING UP ON THERE PRODUCT AND CORRUPTION IN THIS COUNTRY WILL GO WAY UP IN ORDER TO SURVIVE.

NOW THAT WE PUT A CROOKED MAN TO RUN THIS COUNTRY AMERICANS MUST LEARN FROM HIM AND BE LIKE HIM WHICH MEANS CORRUPTION WILL BE THE WAY OF LIFE FROM NOW ON

World respect has been restored finally.

Yes. We did it!!!! The world has gained a great leader!!

Congratulations America for a victory well deserved! As President elect Barack Omaba stated, this is our victory and he will be a vessel used to bring unity to the United States of America, and to the rest of the world. I am very confident the right person was chosen to carry out such a task. I pray that we as Americans will be at peace with this historical victory and that all differences be put aside in effort to unite as a people, in effort to heal from the past eight years of a failed government. May we all embrace the concept of change with hopes of a brighter future for all mankind. God Bless America!

Now the rest of the world will respect and cooperate with us, unlike the last 8 years of "cowboy" diplomacy and Duh-Bya's "with us or against us" mantra. And anyone who says "who cares what they think," you need to take the blinders off and get off the GOP Kool-Aid

Great Victory for America and the WORLD! Thank you United States of America for coming through in a bid for hope and change. We can no longer be the big bully on the block for this is not the direction the people of the world want to go. Barack Obama will bring diplomacy, grace, reasoning and sound logic to the White House for the next 8 (hopefully) years. He will start to fix our country from the inside – which has been needed for many years – and he will bring peace and prosperity to the world.

GO OBAMA!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

An Obama Supporter since 2004!!!!

OBAMA is not the Black President OBAMA is the Peoples President!

I'm in shock..

This election has been an epic journey between the Old "status quo" and the New Vision of America. Barack Obama has shown his resilience and intellectual superiority needed in American leadership at this critical time. America has shown that we no longer want limited ideas that cater to the belief that the majority must beg for scraps from the table of the financial elite. We are rejecting the days of corporate interest over Citizen's social and economic conerns. We will no longer accept the ideas that one group is more "American" than another. The world was watching this election because the decisions made here have enormous impact on the global stage. This is the dawning of a new age where the well being of every man, women and child can participate in creating a world of new Ideas and ingenuity that are in harmony with man and the planet.

This is a clear signal to all…the world, for the most part, has accepted even invited the idea of change. Our own country has sent and revieved the message that a closed mind is not acceptable. While the electoral college seemed close to a landslide, by no means is it a landslide popularly (52% while noteworthy is not a vast majority). We must recognize that there is a full spectrum of needs in our great country. While this is a great day for America and indeed the world, cooperation and focus is an essential need to make this country and the entire world better for having Barack Obama as the President of the United States of America.

"We have a new spring in our walk and our shoulders are straighter." I can't say anything better than that.

There is no price you can pay for good will, you earn it.. Mr. Obama has layed the groundowrk for what maybe and what will be if the world unites against terror, poverty and devisiveness. As a McCain supporter, I could not help but be excited as unlike many voters I saw promise in both the candidates amd it has always felt like a victory to me just to break free of the past. While Presdient Bush has done an admirable job of keeping us safe and he alone is not responsible for all of our woes as all politics is a continum and the next President relys on the work of the last, we can now begin the needed healing of a country which has become an orphan of self endeavor . Lets hope and pray for peace, love and prosperity in the years to come.

Renewed respect from the world – just one of the many positive changes Obama will bring.

the hope i feel for our country and the world is profound. with the election decided, the campaign over, and a new president poised on the edge of history, perhaps our country will once again become the entity envisioned by the founding fathers with life, liberty and justice for all. with the rest of our world leaders, may our president obama persue the peace and fairness our planet needs if it is to survive.

I left my plunger in congratulations!

These messages from other nations remind me of the American Revolution, that inspired many nations to revolutionize their mind, country, and culture. With Obama there will be change not only here in the US but through out the world.

This is a new beginning, for the united states , and for the whole world.It is time that the US regains respect from the international community.This gives new hope to the end of racism and world peace.

I have always been very proud to be an American. But today, for the first time in a long time, I can say that I am VERY proud of America.

I am a white, 37 year old woman from Southwest Virginia. I have voted in other presidential elections. This time, however; was different, this time I feel that my hopes and dreams for our nation, for my childrens future have been made into reality. I feel honored and very proud to have been a part of this historical event by casting my vote for Barack Obama. Barack Obama has motivated me in a way that no other political figure ever has in my lifetime. He has instilled in me that hope and change is attainable for every American. God Bless you Barack Obama and God Bless the United States of America.

Congratulations to Barack Obama for a great win! It is obvious from the good wishes conveyed by world leaders that Obama has a broad worldview and experience enough to interact and represent the U.S. well. Obama did not get into the mudslinging like his opponent, and it seems that his rising above it was vindicated by his win. Neither Hillary Clinton or John McCain/Sarah Palin and their campaigns won by getting down and dirty. Perhaps there is some hope now that decency and goodness can once again return to our country. That is part of the hope that Obama brings.

I'm from Portugal, and I want to salute and congratulate the senator Barack Obama for his magnificent victory.

I truly congratulate now President Obama and Biden for the magnificant contribution and sacrifice they both have made for many. They have truly overcome the obstacles and stereotypes and with God's Grace, they have prevailed. This is a moment in history that we must remember; yet work together by making the collaborative effort to embrace peace, tranquility, and prosperity throughout the world. We must work together as citizens whether locally or abroad to help build and foster the values and principles that our country should be based upon.

God is magnificent! Congratulations President Barack Obama and Joe Biden!

The most exciting moment is seeing all people standing shoulder to shoulder celebrating the election of a remarkable man. Martin Luther King's words "free at last" applies to all of us. What a powerful moment in history for everyone…………………………

I just dont know when I have felt so relieved. First time Voter, 37 Year old male, and I just feel a huge burden lifted from the country. Congratulations President-Elect Obama. We are counting on you, and will remain steadfast and strongly by your side in the trying times to come. Thanks go out to Senator McCain, for a truley tough and long campaign. He is truley an American Hero, and though not chosen as our next Leader, will certainly have a place in this historic journey which we are about to begin.

THANKS AMERICA! Its like an American Birthday all over again.

Thank God, Thank god. Thank you America. Amen

As an Indian American, I am proud to have voted for Obama. This truly is a world choice in an American election.

The one thing we learned in this election cycle:

Money can buy anything. From the local to national stage money was the biggest winner! Whatever issue or candidate could out spend the other prevailed in almost every race and issue on the ballot. The public found out that the television news personnel media can be bought. Individual news reporters can be bought. Print writers can be bought. Oh how far we have fallen as a republic actually relying on paid-for-media to determine the outcome of our future instead of taking some time and reading the fine print.

That is perfect, we have Iran congratulating our president. I do not percieve weakness in our new president, and if Iran would like to continue to be a soveriegn nation, it ought to think about changes its own policies. In general the bigger threat of the two Iraq, and Iran, has always been the latter. I could certianly get behind the idea of overthrowing their govt. and exploiting their natural resources!

You forgot the Canadian PM.

Well said, world leaders. Thank you for your support of our new leader. We hopefully will work with you to undo the damage Bush, Rice, Rumsfeld, Gonzales and other administration officials have done.

Perhaps in the coming years some sense can be made, once again, of our foreign policy. That is why we voted overwhelmingly for Barack Obama.

congratulations to Obama, I wish all the best for him as all eyes of the world at looking at him as the first youngest President of United State of America.

All I can say is that I history has been made and I am so glad to have been alive to see it. God bless America!

I have never felt so proud to be an American as I do right now at this moment. The world joined us last night in our celebration of electing the first african american presdident of the United States. I am overwhelmed by the possibiilties this election has unfolded, and I look forward to following Senator Obama's tenure in the white house with great enthusiasm and hope.

We have a new President. We have new found hope for the future of our country.

The first Presidential election I was able to vote in was for JFK. He inspiried us to rise to new heights. He told us we were going to the moon, we did. He told us we could help the world, and thousands signed up for the Peace Corps.

He told us "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country". It was our battle cry.

Now I've seen the rise of another JFK. I never thought to see someone whom I have this admiration for again after JFK and RFK were taken from us.
But once again, hope springs up, and I am hopeful that the new generation of Americans can take up the burden that we older folks now lay down…

Well said, world leaders. Thank you for your support of our new leader. We hopefully will work with you to undo the damage Bush, Rice, Rumsfeld, Gonzales and other administration officials have done.

Perhaps in the coming years some sense can be made, once again, of our foreign policy. That is why we voted overwhelming for Barack Obama.

wow! every comment speaks volumes to how the world views our country already. very powerful statements and great respect shown for our fresh new leader. congratulations fellow citizens!

I am so happy that Barack Obama has been elected President. He is the healing balm that we need. May God bless him in all the steps he takes and make the USA and the world see the good this country has.

Bravo!!!! Bravo!!! Bravo!!! President- Elect Obama, You have shown that you have the ability to bring people together. We understand that you have a lot of Obstacles to overcome, and we will support you all the way.

The healing has already begun.

What a proud day to be an American!!! My faith is restored!

Thank whatever higher power you believe in for giving hope to the entire world. Maybe now we can start to seek peace and prosperity as one race. The human race.

This is a call to all believers to do as the scripture instructs us to, "pray for them that have rule over you so that you may live in peace." The is an enormous task and it will take daily supplications to the Almighty to guide and direct this nation in His path. May we all find our way back to the instructions, his Torah, and so find peace.

America can once again hold its head up high knowing we have a leader in the Whitehouse that comands respect – not with fear and intimidation – but with morals and integrity.

It is as New Year's Day around the globe filled with brighter eyes, sharper ears and a brave new hope. Today, as it was meant to be, we once again can raise our Earthly voices in unison, in a clear, single note of hope, and rise in support of the new "Omerica."

Absolutely Amazining!! I'm at work and there is not a dry eye!

Since our prime minister, a northern republican, is not sufficiently gracious to offer his congratulations I will on behalf of all clear thinking Canadians laud President elect Obama and thank all of the intelligent Americans who voted for him.

I've never been as proud of the country as I am this morning.

Boundaries were crossed yesterday and a new era in US politics begins where excitement replaces secrets, old boys clubs, and no attempts to make the country a BETTER place.

Cheers!

Congratulations, President-Elect Obama!

As I stood in line yesterday morning, I was amazed by the turnout of voters. There were so many people of all ages, races and so forth. Although I cannot tell my children that I walked with Dr. King, I can tell them that I did vote for the first African American President.

God bless!

Don't look now but the Russians are trying to rain the World's parade today. This is enough to either retain Condi or bring back General Powell.

I cried this morning because I am so proud of my nation and in just one unified act, restored what someone in 8 years COULD NOT do.

Thank you world, we will be coming to apologize.

Obama will try to work with these leaders, whether he shares their views or not. He's a born diplomat, and will do us proud.

The common thread is that the world is looking for something new from the United States to face up to new world challenges : not more of the failed Bush policies: bullying, name calling, unilateralism, the Bush Doctrine, not engaging the opponents on a particular issue ( whether they are historical allies in the context of an honest disagreement or potential regional or global rivals ) … there is hope for change with Obama, slow steady change… giving new direction to the american ship of state is like turning around a cruise ship… but Obama promises something new whereas McCain simply did not. I congratulate the citizens of the United States on their selection. My only disappointment as a non- american is the popular vote received by the republicans; did half the americans really think McCain deserved a shot ? Yikes.

I can't believe this actually happened – it still seems like a dream. That we can now have hope in our future, and even our children's future, is an amazing feeling. Though I may not take the same stand on all of the issues as our new President does, I do know he's going to lead us in the right direction and turn us back into the greatest country in the world.

God Bless America and everyone in it!

now they actually have a real mind to talk to not an absentee President

Tears of joy to my eyes. USA is the greatest country in the world. Obama has a set an example to all of us, especially the poor.

At last the US has inspired the world to hope and work for peace and prosperity again.

Is this a change to what? From bad to good or from good to bad. Only God kows where this country is heading. But I know for sure. We are now at the beginning of the end. Pray for BArrack as he lead this great nation.

I am thrilled that we have a chance to regain the esteem of the people and nations of the world! These messages from world leaders provide great hope that President Obama will lead us all to a world of peace and cooperation. Dare we dream of a world where we see war no more? I am a 63-year old white woman from Michigan, and I was proud and happy to cast my vote for Barack Obama.

This is the day i have been yarning for since i migrated to this country more than 30 years ago.

Its a great day to see that all the fear monger tactic did not work this time, we have finally woken up and realize that we the majority of Americans can think for ourself and also to find out that Rush the dopehead tactics did not work.

Yes we can, Yes we can. We are in the process of overcoming.

Finally… The GW days are over…

Amazing, truly amazing… I am speechless at this point. All the effort, hard work and prayer that we all (Americans) put in to help elect Barack Obama, the sacrifices both he and his family made- all for the betterment of our Country- I take Pride in our choice of President Barack Obama, and we can now lift our heads once again out of the shaddows of Shame that Bush had us in- and once again become a great beacon to the world!
And to finally put an end to the dirty political tricks and to prove they will no longer work- we will no longer be bamboozled (in the words of President Obama), the Republican party needs to take a hard look at this and see- we stood up and were heard- and what we said was… No More Hatred!
November 4th, 2008 will have been one of the most amazing days of my life…

-A Proud American

Congratulations President Obama. The youths of today thanks you for all that you done to get to this point. You have shown that where there's a will, there's a way, and that where there is hope, there can be change. For, we have all asked the question "Can we?". Now we know, "Yes we can!"

Obama's success is truly the success of millions in the uSA and the world yearning for JUSTICE. In this light, the words of Nelson Mandela, below, in his congratulatory message above, are the most pertinent to our real world:
"We note and applaud your commitment to supporting the cause of peace and security around the world. We trust that you will also make it the mission of your presidency to combat the scourge of poverty and disease everywhere."

We are not as good yet as we need to be, but we are better than we thought we were. We aren't where we need to be as a nation or a world, but we are one step closer to where we all need to go TOGETHER. For the first time in 40 years, I feel a hope for our country and the world.

World leaders are happy,we've elected a ROOKIE,we will be easy now !

Now I don't have to pay my gas or mortgage!! Hilarious.

God has bestowed the burden of hope upon Obama's shoulders but He gives us no more than He knows we can bear. See how the hope is reflected in the faces of our country.

These are all great but several Allies are missing – where are comments by the Japanese, Koreans, and the new formed democracies of Western Europe (Poland, Georgia, and so on). It is important to state that everyone wants to get off on the right foot and that the "newly elected" President should receive notifications of some sort, regardless of politics and issues. I have not seen anything from the Russian goverment . . .

where is russia here?

For the first time in my adult life I am REALLY proud of my country!!

In God we trust Barack Obama.

I was in tears yesterday. I felt like my own father had just won, it felt so filled with joy and emotion that every one of my friends and I were on the streets of New York with Hundreds, just jumping and crying in joy!

I know he will help us change. . .

I am so overwhelmed today…and so very proud of my fellow Americans!

I guess Latin American congrats aren't worth a mention.

And they are all relieved that Betty Boop will never have access to the nuclear codes.

WOW!!! I am speechless and still in shock from last nights results. I am still trying to grasp that Indiana went BLUE.

The whole world weeps in joy and prays for Barak Obama, his family and Joe Biden and his family to be safe, secure and determined to lead the world toward peace and prosperity for all. God Bless them, the United States of America and all Countries and good honest leaders of the world.

YES WE DID!!!!!!!!!

Shame on the dictators around the world. All those who talk about change just like the president-elect should also change their ways and thinking. This is a great opportunity we cannot afford to miss, in order to transform our world for the better. Justice, peace and prosperity is possible. We can't have prosperity without peace and we cannot have peace without justice anywhere in the world.

God Bless Both candidates and especially Barrack for his endurance and a positive change to this wounded country under the former regime, Congradulations! And now it it like a big Republican Rock has been lifted off our shoulders, The voice of the people has been heard! May all stand behind Him for world peace and the Good of Our Country!!

Election of President-Elect Barack Obama is a manifestation of American democratic greatness and entrenchment of truth in American Constitution that all men are created equal and have equal shared opportunities despite unequal strengths and backgrounds. A true embodiment of an ordinary person accomplishing extra-ordinary achievements.

The entire WORLD is happy for President Obama!!! He will change the United States and the rest of the world!

LIfe without dreams is like a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.

All things are possible if you only believe. I believe. I believe. I believe.

God Bless President Elect Barack Obama. God Bless the UNITED States of America!

Democrats are well known for cutting the military back. This weakens the country not strengthen it. Many jobs will be lost for the faulty thought of saving on the budget.

I love this country !

This is a very real sign that the rest of this world still looks to America for guidance and strength. Also, this is our sign to the world that we are committed to a change in our horrible policies, and bringing us back to a peaceful country.

Congratulations, President Obama. I look forward to serving you for the next 8 years.

Our wonderful country can now proudly join the community of nations. I am so proud to be an American! We love Barry!!!!!

The tyrannical reign of the Facist Bush Era is now coming to an end, and the world now awaits to embrace us as the true leaders of the free democratic world we always were. There is much healing to be done, not only within our borders but with the world stage as well. Now is that time, and the people have spoken. God Bless America!

Congrats Barack Obama. I could not go to sleep until 4 a.m. overjoyed by your victory. I believe that if your help, the Ameician people will bring change to the world!!!!! God Bless you.

Obama will help change the world.

Im concerned at the lack of Canadian PM in this list. Do americans honestly not care about one of their largest trading partners?

this is a sad day for america

President Elect Obama. Well deserved and bring a new dawn and hope to the United States of America.

Imagine that…one day into this new direction the world is as excited as most of us Americans. Of course the Republicans will say so what who cares. They should care. We're indebted to the world for the mistakes they made during the past 8 years!!

yeah go figure. I can not believe that our Governmenrt even left this man on the ballots. Why is everyone saying BLACK president? He is not African American!!! Get it straight! I hope America is ready to take a tumble and all you that voted for him, can thank yourselves. When the war is at your front door remember YOU put Obama in that spot!

I did not vote for Obama but he won so he is my leader.

Congrats to all Obama backers. I am glad the race is over.

WORLD UNITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! President-elect Obama's election is renewing the tide on international relations already.

GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS ISRAEL, GOD BLESS THE WORLD.

I hope Putin did not raise his head and shout out the congrats, otherwise, what's her name from that chilly state may have alerted the coast guard.

Congratulations President Obama, I am sooooo happy for you and the USA.
