Certainly, we are taking part in the very important moment of USA history.

Meh, angry Republicans can rage on about how much he's going to screw up or continue spreading lies (you know who you are). But the fact is, Barack Obama is now the president of the United States. It's understandable to be somber, but there's absolutely no excuse that people should continue being whiny, poor sports about it.

After it was over and I listened to McCain's speech last night, it was truly moving, and I'll respect the man for the rest of my life. He stressed to his followers to do all they could in helping their president. Because as both campaigns have pushed to say, America is on the stage--and we can't be there divided. And thus, anyone who listened to McCain, and chooses to help their country, has my reverence to them equal to that I had given to McCain.

Yet still, during his speech, hateful, racist remarks were still being shouted out. Did you see McCain's face? He doesn't appreciate that. Staying true to pointless hostilities isn't just betraying your own president, but your own party and former presidential candidate as well.

Last night, Obama made a very good point. Previously, everyone was broadcasting about how "History was made". But America hasn't made its history yet, as he said. First, we need to prove that over this heated election, the American people can wind up on top. No one is going to care about the "first black president" if he doesn't end up being a good one. For that to be possible, he needs the support of the country.

So how about it? Let's make history.

I'm just going to sit and wait patiently. Can't do much now but see what moves he makes and how he goes about doing them. Hopefully the people choose right and America can once again hold it's head up high.

You know what, after last eight years of expanding disappointment I don't think that society would commit the same mistake for the third time in a row! That's why US nation decided to take the risk and chose something different. It would be a total ignorance and inability to learn from the mistakes.. if we continued to walk the same path.

I dont live in the US so frankly and cynicaly I couldnt care less. but CONGRATULATIONS USA with new President , and first black one as well ^^

I think everyone is making speculations too quickly, as we still have over 2 months until the actual day of inauguration. Something could happen before then. Just saying. But yes, congrats to Barry and his win. But I don't see how everyone got behind his "change" notion, it's not like he's going to sit down in the oval office and wave his hand and suddenly America will transform into a glorious paradise and all our problems will be solved.

Also technically Bush is still our prez until January 20, oh snap.

I wouldnt think so either, but as history as shown... no one pays attention to history, so its bound to repeat itself.
