Congratulations President-elect Obama. It is long past due for the USA to have a peoples president in place of a corporate president. Good Fortune to you and to the USA.
I think Hilary has been graceful in the end. I wish she woulda been the president but I think she's done the right thing by supporting the party,
Congratulations and Condolences to President Obama.
I am glad that they seemed to have healed their relationship. I have a feeling he is going to offer her some type of job.
A new page has started in the the book of the United States history.

Happy to see the result from Trisha B here in Canada. Now you can have a good night's sleep. The race was long and hard but worth every minute for a result like this. History in the making and more to come. B
Thank you! AMERICA! for voting a great man into the WHITE HOUSE!
This is a great day in our country!
OBAMA! BIDEN!
Thank God! I always supported Obama and ALWAYS will! Godbless OUR great country! Godbless each of us poor and rich alike!!!
Obama and the country would benefit greatly if Hillary or Bill were on his whitehouse staff...
Congratulations to America. Our firsts. Our beginning. Our future. God's blessings to us and the world.
Clintons are the best, such a great people. Such a smart, intelligent, giving people.
It is nice to see that our great nation has gotten beyond race and gender, and has moved forward once more. I am looking forward to seeing Barack make friends rather than creating enemies and restoring our face in the world.
I love Hillary. I hope she has a place in Obama's white house.
Congratulations... my heart is swelling with pride...Obama is Bob the builder...YES HE CAN.
That is a world record the americans have set.
I am a 51 old black man living and FT. Worth, Tx (native Texas all my life). I never dream this day would come. I new one day it would but not in my lifetime. I watch my father go out election after election and support the demorcratic party , being disrepected, treated less than a man at time, fearing for hisself and his family, because of conviction and tonight all the things he said would happen has happen. "I WISH HE HAD LIVE TO SEE THIS DAY" GOD BLESS HIM AND AMERICA FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA. My father is smiling down here tonight .

Get ready America, we are in for a down hill spiral!!!!
So what!
Today we have lifted the white man's burden. We are all now poorer for it. Liberals have prevailed and we will pay for it. God help us. Barak obama cannot. His inexperience will be our undoing. Like the Romans we are doomed as a great nation. History will tell of this one day long after we are gone, as the day that a great nation fell to it's knees and corrupted itself to serve a past that we today did not invite. We picked our burden over experience, Mccain had the experience to guide us through this mess we are in. Obama is just a good speaker with charisma, but no value to our country. We are poorer today for it. We voted and we failed.
I'm switching parties, you Dems have to be the dumbest people I've ever seen to let the party go so far to the Left and put such a ill prepared person in the White House.
You all complained about Palin...and I honestly am ashamed of the way all of you feminists treated one of your own.
Its funny how only the Dem party can have women at the forefront.
not to your comment mark...but to the fact that hillary and obama spoke...to that I say ...so what.
I wanna say thank god obama won and say I was waiting for the change and its finally here!
