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.

our country has been hit by it`s worst nightmare. I would feel good too if I were black, So I`ll just say this ” forgive them lord,for they know not what they have done”
I think this is an amazing time in American history. He is not only going to be a great president but he wants change and that is what we need. Also, everyone saying how against they are of him, it isn’t like all his plans are going to be put into use right away. He may not even be able to raise taxes, they will probably stay just like they are. Someone can not come into office and change everything. Not many presidents have, the economy is horrible and yes I agree that Obama is not going to help with it. However, either would McCain we need plans for our economy way beyond what Obama and McCain were thinking. However, I believe our economy is going through a rescission. And a president is not going to change that, daily Americans need to. It is up to us to make the life we want, we can not rely on someone else. It must feel horrible that the economy is going down, but what about when gas prices went up dramatically. WE got them to go down, by people who cute back on the gas they bought. And by so many people doing that, we changed the gas, it dropped dramatically. We all need to come together as a country, and stop blaming our problems on the soon to be president and what he will do wrong. He wants to help as much as you want change.
I remember 9/11…
And I am worried that so many Americans have forgotten that a muslim killed 6000 Americans on US soil…
Do you think it cannot happen again?
You have weakened our country.
He is not going to make things change, not going to get more jobs,
you can’t make a business out of thin air.
What were you thinking?
You just opened the door to terrorism.
This really is a disaster. Those of you who are opposed to President Bush, remember September 11th…the largest terrorist attack in the history of our nation? If Bush had just sat around and not tried to prevent future attacks, who knows what could have happened, and I can guarantee that you all would be complaining that he didn’t do anything.
As for obama, I am appalled at the ignorance that our country has. How could we possibly elect someone who has no experience and who also has terrorist ties? Perhaps because of the color of his skin? If you ask me, I think that’s the worst possible reason to vote for someone to lead the most powerful country in the world.
I think his ideals are terrible and exactly the opposite of what our country needs. I pray that we can make it through the next four years during his term…it’s definitely not going to be easy to give up my hard earned income to those who don’t feel the need to get off their lazy rears and go get a job! It really is ridiculous.
God Bless America, because let’s face it, we need someone else watching over us rather than obama.
Im not even an American and i am soo happy about this! Congrats Obama!!
Martin Luther King Jr once said that he hope for a world where his children would not be judged by the color of their skin, but the content of their character.
People everywhere are jumping up and down in glee about our black president. In fact, it seems that what people are stuck on.
So what are we really looking at here?
I voted based on the content of his character. That is why I voted against him. We are about to be plunged into 4 years of political and economic crisis.
THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE MOMENT IN UNITED STATES HISTORY

This is history in the making and Barack Obama will shift America and global countries to a new generational movement. We earned it by voting for him and now we all need to work together to bring his vision to reality.
I got up this morning feeling more confident and more encouraged than I have in years and most especially since George Bush lied about the WMD’s in Iraq. Thank God this country is FINALLY headed in the right direction with President Obama.
GOBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am SO happy today!! I cannot even fully express just how amazing this is. My own state turned blue for the first time in about 4 decades and I am so proud of that. Some day in the future when my grandchildren ask me about the time in history when people began to hope again and the American dream became something to believe in again I will be able to tell them about the wonderful man who started it all and that I voted for him.
I’m sorry I don’t want to start a agrument or anything but some of you people really need to wake up we have a new president we can start fresh why are people being negative come on man Obama = change if anyone wasn’t affected by that speech yesterday then they are very heartless and souless because Obama is beautiful and America is about to change for the best maybe not right away but eventually this world is officially changed so WAKE UP

“Democracy… liberty… hope”….America made the right choice!!
I am from Canada…and was hoping that America would make the right choice, and they did!!
We should look past the colour of one’s skin, and look at their character, ability and potential to create change for better…
Mr. Obama….Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mr. PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!
Wow reading through these comments I can see that christian’s aren’t very christian anymore-so much hate/fear in their hearts. I am very proud that for the first time in my life I voted and that I voted for a man I believe has our best interest at heart. I think this is a huge step, not only for us, but other countries aswell. I think other countries will change their perception of us thanks to Obama. :)
Congratulations to our new president-elect mr.obama.Keep america safe in your hand.
