Obama Wins!

I get such a kick out of going back in time and reading these comments!

Yes We Can stop looking for a savior.

Yes We Can face up to reality.

Yes We Can face up to our shameful history.

Yes We Can stand up to corporatist snake oil salesmen.

Yes We Can wake up and pay attention to what is really going on.

I believe in Democracy.

I believe in the power of an informed public.

We may have to vote for Obama in the next national election...

but we don't have to be fooled by him.

It was beautiful.
I'm disappointed you didn't run the whole thing.

I keep watching this because it gives me the tingles every time. We really did it.

And with all the voter list purging and fraud that was standing in the way, this victory is even MORE significant.

NO DOUBT THIS IS OUR TIME

OBAMA

Do you think part of white america voted for Obama because he is 1/2 white? I don't believe america is ready to vote for a 100% black american. I wonder how the family of the white side feels? Left out? They are not good enough? The media calls him the 1st black american president. He is not yet the first nor was Bill. But he is 1st generation 1/2 black american. Can he really relate to black americans? How can he? I think he has more white beliefs in his heart but has a fear to show it.

WHERE HAS ALL THE MCCAIN LOVERS GONE? REMEMBER PEOPLE GRIPE ABOUT STRIPES WAS THE ONE AND ONLY WHO HAS WROTE AT THE END OF EVERY BLOG OF MINE """""""""VOTE DEMOCRAT, VOTE FOR OBAMA, VOTE FOR YOUR FUTURE. I CAN'T SAY ANYMORE HOW PROUD IT IS TO BE AN ""AMERICAN"", I PROMISE REPUBLICANS YOU WILL COME AROUND AND COME TO YOUR SENSES AND BELEIVE IN THE DEMOCRATIC WAY OF LIFE.

I just love what America has done!! Live with hope.

America is in for a change. But will the change be for the better? Will everything get better? Get worse? Only time will tell.

Its OK Spanky, we righteous folks all lived through the Bush nightmare, with our country being dragged through the mud of illegal war and torture and our own government spying on us.

We lived through the GOP efforts to steal the American Dream away from us as they redistributed the wealth of the middle class up to the top .01% of Americans. I somehow doubt you were one of them...that means you have been duped into believing the Limbaugh/O'Riley lies that led you to vote against your own self interest just because the pinheads taught you to hate all things not Republican.

It's really going to be ok, you will live, and you will prosper like you haven't prospered since Reagan first began the class war against the American Middle Class.

Really, it will be ok. You will live to see that the world can respect us again, and the wars can end, and our people can stop dying for the greed of the aristocracy that we call Republicanism.

Really, if you are not making over $250,000/year, you have been a duped Republican.

Come to the light...

GOOD VIBES
AND TIMES

PEACE-IN

And so the pendulum swings back over to the democrat side. Before too long it will swing back to the republican side. And then, guess what. It will swing back again. This will repeat itself over and over until people realize that neither party's wacko policies are a complete work. It's reactionary elections. People voting in response to what they don't like and think a new boss is going to finally cure humanity of it's ills. Oh well

I agree with powerup. It's good to see someone get elected to Office and actually begins working right away.

Obama has already start to work for Americans as he has not waited unil January 20th to start to finalize plans to help the economy.All the leaders of the world has already sent congrats to him and his wife and will work with him and his administration like no other to build back the American economy.So Barack is the man for this time. Thanks for all those young people who decided to stand up and let there voices be heard no matter what is being said you played a big part in this election.

President Elect Barack Obama gave an eloquent and dignified speech on the night of his victory. At that moment he became the next leader of all Americans. It's now time to put the campaign behind us, regardless of whom we supported on election day, and support the man who will be our next President. It's time to move on.

I feel great about Obama being elected and our future in America and the world.

Yes we can!

Don't let America down Obama, we voted for you!

This is going to be big. It is morning in America. We will because we can. Yes we can.

I believe he (Obama) needs to display “wisdom” and focus on the big 3. One may have to go down and the rise of a green player to replace the fallen may need to be his biggest move! If I was an advisor to President Obama, I would encourage him to not bailout anyone-else (excluding the middle class) and focus on transitioning from the traditional economic giants to investing in the new green giants! One of my own favorite quotes is:

“I happen to deeply agree with the wisdom of Tom Friedman (that we cannot consume of way out of this mess and “Have you ever been to a revolution where nobody gets hurt?”). The fact is that the current economic conditions will cause a lot of companies to close their doors (websites too), and they will die off altogether due to lack of understanding the competitive (innovative) landscape. Just look at Detroit and the Big 3 for example! Those that will fight to stay alive will need to figure out — What’s Next?

I believe that the New Green Economy will include the Rise of Green Real Estate Markets paired with the continued success of Cleantech, Clean Energy Markets, and large scale shifts toward Clean Transportation, and the Greening of the IT Industries (plus a fourth quarter of record investment!!), which will lead to a boom in “American Made” Green Collar Jobs and the creation of new wealth. The trick is: “who will get it right??” Execution makes all the difference for most of these opportunities and green investors need to pay more attention to the items that management claim they can achieve.” - Yeves Perez, Founder of EcoInvestmentClub.com - Nov 2008

Look, all those who did not like Obama because of his Ayers association ought to Google mastermind Walter Annenberg who assembled the infamous board where they worked on that socialist thing called early childhood education.

Walter and Leonore were extremely committed philanthropists, largely focused on education, journalism and the power of knowledge. In 1993 they gifted the largest sum ever to improving public education and called it the Annenberg Challenge. The Challenge gave grants to many cities to reform urban schools and curricula. One such city was Chicago. Still scared?

Those who resent sweet deals might look North to the Grrreeaat Staate of Alasssska where Senator Ted Stevens can go back to his wonder home indicted, convicted and re-elected! Wink!

Those who think Obama supporters are airy fairy cult members who think Obama farts rainbows?

Lemme tell you something....I am one of those millions who gave an average of $90 and we are the ones who are awesome and organized! We can and will hold him accountable. We can and will make sure that the promises turns into performance. We trust that he will work hard to listen to you.

He's your president, too!

All those who did not like Obama because he served on several boards with the terrorist William Ayers and got his start politically in Ayers home and distributed millions of dollars at Ayers bequest or got a sweet deal from Rezko on his house only shows you he is not a prejudiced man, he likes white peoples, and just because you had a problem with Rev. Wright who says G'Dam America and whites started aids and honkey this and cracker that, Obama said in 20 years he never heard that and having been to black churches well the singing is so loud I believe him when he said that, and just cause Farrakan and the Black Panthers and Terrorist Khalidi are all for him well they are just tryin to help a brother out , what do you expect so get over it, and just cause he got millions of dollars coming in from overseas from who? well that just saved the american people money , it's not like there are any strings attached"unless you are racist"
and like Chris Matthews said "Obama gives me a tickle up my leg", I am sure there was nothing gay about that as one of the newscasters covering the election "I won't name him but he said he got week in the knees when he spoke to him" and now all our enemies are ready to talk to and congratulate him and this is wonderful since Pelosi and a lot of other Democrats wont let recruiters go to our high schools any more if we get taken over buy a bad country we can talk our way out of it or I did see Harold and Kumar go to Guantanamo and all we have to do is learn to eat a
C MEAT Sandwich, thats better than fightin ain't it.
Glory B GO Obama

We believe in you

IM SO HAPPY THAT OBAMA WON. FINALLY WE ARE HAVEING A CHANGE FOR FOUR YEARS.

Thats awesome that OBAMA won finally theres going to be a change here.

Quite simply, this was the single the most significant sociopolitical moment in my lifetime; more than Nixon resigning in shame; more than the wall falling to mark the end of the Cold War. It has been a long time since I was this proud to be an American. But the real work has just begun for this country. Most importantly, we can't let a bunch of back-asswards people re-write the constitution. Make your voice heard and fight bigotry in the name of equality!!

I am so elated. I am at a loss for words. My children have a chance at a democratic future. This is a time of change. I am just glad to be alive and well to see it. How blessed i am to be alive for the change of America!
