Barack Obama Elected President

Democrat Barack Obama was elected as the first black president of the United States of America on Tuesday night.

The 47-year-old senator from Illinois defeated Republican Sen. John McCain. Officials said voters came out in record numbers on Election Day — 130 to 140 million people.

The crowd is going wild in Grant Park in Chicago, where Obama will give his first public speech as president-elect.

Obama will be sworn in as the 44th President on January 20, 2009.

I predict he will be impeached long before his first term is over. He is not qualified to be President. I hope to God I am wrong. Time will tell and I’ll admit it if I am wrong but I think this will be the end of America as we know it now.

This is a travesty for America. Goodby Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. There should be a funeral for the country.

Congratulations America!!!! Around the world, people are very happy for you guys and join the celebration. Obama acceptance speech was just amazing. He is truly charismatic. All the best!!!

he only won @ 11/05/2008 at 6:11 am

He only won because he ran as a Democrat. People didn’t want a Republican.

Nobody elected Obama, they elected a Democrat!

Wake up people. It isn’t about Obama, it’s about the Party!

“all you ‘believers’ preaching God need to step back and remember the importance of acceptance.. because obviously you have forgotten that little aspect of Christianity.”

I totally agree, stop giving excuses.

We are in the 21st century. Things CHANGE.

and no one could be as bad as George W. Bush, so don’t hate on OBama just yet.

Shut your mouths until Obama actually does something horrible. He hasn’t even been sworn in. Everyone is just bitter about how the economy is TODAY.

Some people need to get out of their bubbles and stop being so scared of people. Just because you claim that other people are taking over YOUR stuff doesn’t mean anyone’s going to listen to you, we all just laugh at you because you stay in your comfort zone, with your “issues,” while the rest of us take a chance/risk.

I love you Obama (L)

sanaa from paris @ 11/05/2008 at 6:40 am

i’m so happy, thank you america.

good job. @ 11/05/2008 at 6:52 am

excellent. marvellouss. fantabulous.
if i was american he’d be my no.1
but im aussie . WOOHO.

I didn’t vote for him. I didn’t really want John McCain either. McCain seemed like the lesser of two evils. It just seems that Obama has too many “secrets”. Anyway, he (like anyone else that had been elected) has a “steep hill” to climb in the next four years. I don’t know if he’ll be able to handle it. I hope he WILL do an outstanding job and prove all of us naysayers wrong. God Bless him because he’ll need it. Unfortunately, he will be critiqued more than any other President in recent history.

Please prove me wrong, Obama!! I hope you do.

Oh my god it’s so amazing!!!! We are proud of you, here in France!!!

Excellent comments, #281.

If people would take your advice, this country would be in a lot better shape.

The my team/your team mentality must go for this country to go in the right direction.

Obama did not win..the Democratic party won. Simple as that. Anybody that had run for President as a Democrat would have won.

So get off the Obama won wagon. The Democrats won idiots!!!!!

Change will come when people educate themselves and not jump on the party bandwagon.

when i found out he won i almost killed myself i also balled my eyes out i dont think i can cry any more. all hail THE MESSIAH-ha yeah right hes probably a muslim and once he gets into the white house hes goona bomb our country. biggest mistake in american history-BARACK OBAMA FOR AMERICAN PRESIDENT. GAG ME WITH A SPOON.

Congratulations to President-elect Obama!! This has been one heck of a ride. Now onwards to the road to recovery.

Realmente é um marco na historia, isso mostra que os Americanos sempre soube de suas origens!!!! como a maioria de outros paises… sou do Brazil, mas fico feliz por todos… parabens ao OBAMA…

This is the start of a better tomorrow. If some people can’t handle that, then they deserve crow for Thanksgiving. Now we’re starting to get out of the ass end of the 20th century.

roninbernie @ 11/05/2008 at 8:40 am

To Katie,

Stop whining and grow up. If you can’t do that, then just go ahead and off yourself. Right now.

I’M THE FIRST NUT (Ode to Bush)
(I’m a Nut. Leroy Pullins)
WilliamBanzai7

Sing Along With the Music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqsauoDmgDo

Beedle-dee-bah, beedle-dee-bah, beedle-dee-ree-pa-Bush..

[Chorus]
I’m nut, I’m a nut
My Presidential legacy don’t amount to much, whoopa-whoopa-whoopa-whoopa
The head on my shoulders is sorta loose
And I ain’t got the sense God gave a moose
Lord, I ain’t crazy, but …I’m the First Nut

Is is wetter under in the Potomac, if you’re in it when it rains?
Is it shorter to Camp David, than it is by a plane?
Between myself and I, I wonder who’s the dumber
Is it hotter down in Crawford, than it is in the summer?

[Chorus]

I drove my Cadillac to Wall Street to satisfy my lust
Wheelin’, dealin’, left ol’ Wall Street on a Greyhound bus
I should’nt have set the markets on fire while I was there
But remember only forest fires prevent Bears

[Chorus]

The poverty war was almost over, until I began to fight
If it took a dime to go ’round the world
I’d cut taxes out of sight
I don’t mind to take the Bankers out
If they don’t mind to go Dutch
Makes me feel like 700 Billion Bailout Dollars
And I bet the Treasury ain’t worth half that much

[Chorus]

Oh, crazy man! I’m a nut!
Oh, Lordy, Lordy Lordy, Lordy
I’m crazy, I’m the First Nut!

Sorry people, but I’m all for McCain!

McCain/Palin would have been great in the White House.

McCain has done years of service for us, and Palin has 5 kids - 1 with a disorder and 1 whos a teen with pregnacy- just like many Americans.

I guess I just think they would know how to help us Middle Class people…

I respect Obama, I just wish McCain had won
