First Celebrity Reactions Of Obama Win
Below are the very first celebrity reactions of Barack Obama’s winning the race for the White House. Among the 125,000 people at Tuesday’s victory rally were Brad Pitt and a tearful Oprah Winfrey. Here we go:
Oprah: “There are not even words to talk about what this night means. It’s one of the greatest moments I could ever imagine. That’s how great it is.”
Madonna: “I’m so f—ing happy right now”
Lindsay Lohan: “YES WE CAN.”
Samantha Ronson: “YES WE DID!!”
Kanye West: “HI MOM, OBAMA WON!” (His mom passed away about a year ago.)
Usher: “Isn’t this incredible news? Man, this is incredible. It’s so incredible to see that this historical thing has happened.”

Ophrah was at the speech, as gorgeous as usual. I did not see Brad Pitt though. It is happy day in America.
YES WE CAN!
i think he deserves to win
GO Obama! Europe loves you!
America clearly needs a clean break from the past and this election showed that more than ever. Both candidates, Obama and McCain are worthy men that ran good campaigns and now, with Obama as the choice, I hope we can move forward together and do the right things.
YES TO OBAMA!
BRAD PITT AND OPRAH I’M SOO HAPPY!!! EVEN THOUGH I MISS HIS SPEECH IMMA WATCH IT ON YOUTUBE
AND…………………… WHO GIVES A FCK WHAT LINDSAY AND HER GIRLFRIEND SAID ABOUT THE ELECTION SHE PROBABLY DIDNT EVEN VOTE WAS SHE OUT EATING ORANGE CHICKEN????????????
that was kool
Good for Obama. He’ll do well for America in terms of social progress. I hope he has some economic answers too (Some things he has said could ruin trade).
As for the celebrities, some of them are real douchebags. Like Diddy. None of them have any sort of base in reality anymore so it’s annoying to hear what they say.
I also hope now that people realise that there won’t be any drastic change, even with the house and senate. Improvements will come in time and be incremental. Remember the popular vote was still close and that’s a lot of Americans that voted against his policies.
Of course it won’t be hard to top the last 8 years.
i was like crying when he won! but i did feel bad for mccian. but he gave a very very respectable speech. but trust his supporters to boo obama. whatever. Im still in shock that the president i wanted won!
oh Jared I LOVE the Obama jeep party.
Where do you find such genius things?
you rock!
CONGRATS AMERICA!!!! Now the World can respect you again
i like freaked out when he won! i was watching ‘paris hiltons my new bff’ ad all the sudden it stopped and an mtv news thing came on and all these people were screaming and the dude was like ‘Obama just won!” and i was like AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! lol. and oprah made me cry! when she was crying i was like awwwww! and then it hit me how amazing it is that a black man was elected. and I think he is just so awesome!

Thanks God. God bless U.S.A.
YES YOU DID, America!
cool gif! cool win!
yeah katie but if obama lost his supporters would have booed too except it would have been louder because it was a much larger crowd… they were just very disappointed that their candidate lost, its heartbreaking you could see it on their faces. just imagine if it were reversed
COOL Gif.
Jared where do find such genius things?
you are so creative.
Obama is bi-racial kids. Why dis they say African American?
His Mom was white & his grandparents who raised him since age of 2.
His father is from Kenya..a deadbeat father..but the half African blood
is no denial.
Good for him. I love bi-racial people. I am one :)
I’m Indonesian And I LoVE OBAMA
it’s so funny &cutttttttttttttttttttttte
i want that gif for my myspace page. does anyone know how to put those on myspace?
Dude what the hell does it matter what Lindsay Lohan or her **** girlfriend think?
Oprah can just go eat fried chicken, too.

============================
And ONTD took it from someone else. They are all over the web including one of McCain driving.
CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!
O-B-A-M-A!
Here’s to a great future!
Watermelon seeds and the smell of coco butter lotion in the Whitehouse…. jk, congrats OBAMA!!!
BYE, BYE ,BUSH! IT IS SUCH A RELIEF NOT TO LOOK AT YOUR UGLY FACE AND LISTEN ALL OF THOSE LIES……YOU ARE HISTORY THAT NOBODY WANTS TO REMEMBER!
I’m so happy he won. I always wanted him to win but didn’t realise how happy/emotional it would be :)
Hi Jared just to let you know, during the Maroon 5 concert in Mexico City, Adam Levine said the following(well may not be his exact words but you get the idea):
“Ladys and Gentlmen I’m proud to announce you, that Barack Obama has been elected president of the US….we’re so ******* happy!”
Obama won???? This proves that idiots are in fact a majority in America. haha
orange mocha frappucinos!
is that from zoolander? right at the beginning bfore all his friends get blown up?
Obama will be just as bad as past presidents. Seriously, everyone should know by now that all politicians lie….Obama is no exception to this.
This is to those non-Americans:
This is not to cause controversy but I do not appreciate all of you telling me as an American how you will or won’t respect me just because of who my president is. Mind your own business. You may not like George Bush, I may not like him, whatever, but to make it sound like we can be respected again ONLY because Obama has been elected is insulting. John McCain is NOT George Bush just because he ran on the Republican ticket. He is a man who deserves RESPECT. Obama deserves respect—which I as an American will give him due to his office and becaue he is a respectable man. I resent what has been said by some posters who are not Americans given the facts that most countries like England and France, etc, have benefited greatly in the past from MY country. Do not tell me that NOW I can be respected again.
There are way too many things that George Bush might be guilty for but there are a lot of things he has been blamed for which he tried to fix but it was the Democrats who are now in office who kept it from happening. BTW, I am non-partisan but usually vote Democratic but the truth is the truth. In times past the Democrats have liked John McCain enough to try to get him to change party affiliation so let’s not make him a bad guy now. He has more courage and fortitude than most of you put together. Nor do I embrace celebrities who are smart alack and because of who they are try to tell me and others what we should think and do. I swear, the more they go on the more I do not want to vote who they are backing so they should shut up. Matt Damon lost a lot of respect from me due to his insulting remarks that even Obama was not pleased with. Thank goodness this time the election revolved around two men who really did try to stay above board and not mud-sling, etc.
Hollywood and Obama that’s the trashy future of America
and the world
Hell is near!
GO OBAMA! Good job Americans, and I haven’t said this in a LONG time!
Enjoy your celebration,lost souls because the judgement of God is coming. Choices by Hollywood people usually lead to
evil and destruction. Their lives says it all from drugs,sex,divorces you name it. Obama is their man so why am I alarmed and not comforted at all?
America has hit rock bottom
Bravo #37
Shame on Europe but they are in turmoil because they are being outnumbered by terrorists population. They are turning their backs on God. A facade of aristocracy when deep down they are so poor.
9-11 = Europe at war
America’s economy in trouble = the world was in trouble too
following their own European bailout
The youth of France doing graffitis on dead American soldiers graves at Normandy etc while the old were the ones cleaning up the graves to respect these heroes. America should have sacrificed them to Hitler. Europe is going down and they wonna take down America with them. God help us all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks lori for pointing out that Obama is as much white as he is black—not that that makes any difference. Another thing that is not different is this man is the president of the US, not the dictator which means all those people in this country as well as the world should not expect things will be all that different. In this country we have a Congress which creates a “check and balance” situation which means no ONE man can change everything that has been up and going for decades. And as with any administration whether it be Democrat or Republican there will be a lot of spin doctors doing their thing. Some people use another term instead of “spin doctors”, that is liars. I pray that Barrack Obama is successful in office but at the end of his first 3 years in office let’s see what people are saying then and let’s see at the end of her term in office what things are blamed on him that should have been blamed on the Republicans.Unfortunately, that is how it works. I minored in History and I am over 50 years so I do have a clue how this sort of thing works.
Obama will bring change because Hollywood says so. Har de har har.
Obama is just a puppet of his white experiences advisers.
@ # 37
You know… this is exactly the kind of crap that we get from Americans that makes us like Obama. I’m from Egypt, and I cannot tell you how many Americans are over here studying the “democracy” in Egypt or whatever!! They criticize the government, the elections, and everything else political about this country and other countries as well. So I guess its ok for you to do it…
Now let me tell you that all non Americans that I know and that includes people from almost all around the world, were hoping that Obama wins. We didn’t really care about elections in France for example, or many other countries in the world. Ever wonder why? Because whoever gets elected in there will not determine OUR destiny! But we are in fact the most affected by what YOUR president did.
Now you’re sitting in your little white fenced house criticizing foreigners who are hoping for a change in the world, while I’m sitting here watching the influx of Iraqi refugees increasing every single freakin day. Families who have been torn apart leaving members back there and running for their lives, same in Jordon and around the regions.
So please don’t tell me that our opinion doesn’t matter because while you might know a few people who went to war or maybe even died there, which is really sad unfortunately, but you have NOOO idea what your president has created in the region; its far worse than soldiers dying.
RMW Obama will not care for Egypt. He will care more for Kenya than Egypt. Do you think he is the Messiah of this world who will bring overnight changes and fulfill all his promises?
enough of those blinders
Obama,McCain and Biden same ole same ole politicians baloney
the real President should have been Palin
she is the heartland of America
history is made in US
see more of Barack Obama victorious news on
http://www.entertainroom.com
@ Irene
That just proves you totally missed my point! Do you really think I care if your president cares about Egypt!! My point is… because you’re geographically alienated, you are not aware of the turmoil that this whole region went through because of Bush. Now I know the Middle East has a lot of problem, but this is by far the worst one that we’ve been suffering from lately. And you know, suffering from problems that we’ve created is better than suffering from problems that he’s created. (which is exaclty how Europeans feel about the financial crisis)
And I think this whole war thing is one of the main reasons why many Americans voted for Obama, so this is not just a personal opionion.
THEREFORE, which is my main point, we are entitled to at least say what we think. And we think that Obama is a much more peaceful man than Bush and Mcain.
ps. making an assumption that Obama will care for Kenya because he has Kenyan roots is definitely one of the most ridiculous things I’ve heard in this campaign. Its also kind of racist!
Carter and Clinton gave us Sept.11 for those lazy to study U.S. History watch Black Hawk Down and Charlie Wilson’s war.
Pres.Bush is very successful that 8 years we never had another Sept.11 attacks on American soil. That also protected our economy.
Terrorist hit the jews and our money with World Trade Center so Hollywood be on the lookout because its Jewish land.
Americans and world citizens are clueless among the terrorist targets till this day are: LAX,Warner Bros,Dodgers Stadium,Seattle,San Francisco,Maryland,Italy,Spain,Indonesia,Japan,Phillippines,England,France,Australia, and the list goes on and on. Watch Discovery channel and History channel now and then instead of E news because reality is scary. Our Govt.does not want us to see this all the time or else we will be scared and not live our lives anymore.
TO #49: LUCKILY THAT STUPID ***** HAS NOT WON!
@ 49
Yeah, right, she should have been the real President.. especially after that prank of the Canadians on her… I seriously haven’t expected her to be THAT dumb!! …. It would have been nice to have a woman as a President , but definately not her!
Heartland of America: I guess that are people who are against sexual education of their kids. As a result those kids get pregnant at the age of 17 (and younger) since they parents didn’t tell them how to use contraception.
I think Palin’s main interest now should be watching her kids and the grandchild…
So pulling out the troops is the answer? NO. Spreading peace and democracy in the Middle east is a must and Iraq is the vital place because it will spread its influence widely from Iran,Pakistan et al.
To achieve peace war is necessary. You are from Egypt read the historical Bible wars when back in the day even God orders Israel for battles all the time for peace. Iraq will be the main allie of Israel one day to battle these terrorists. No presence of the U.S.forces will only strengthen these terrorists. Obama pulls the troops out war deepens and Israel will have no choice but to use their atomic bomb and its the end of Middle East including Egypt.
#37
Unfortunately most of the world has been dragged into the mire by your current President in his over zealousness to have control over the major oil distributors of the world, sorry, his ‘genuine concern for the possible victims of weapons of mass destruction’ - at least I think that’s what he labelled his greed for oil as. As the majority of Americans put that illiterate cowboy numpty Bush in power in the first place i’m afraid the blame lies at everyone’s feet - not just one man. I am pleased Obama won but as with all politicians, still have a ‘proof is in the pudding’ attitude towards any winning candidate. So I’m afraid the rest of the world does have an opinion of America and how her politicians behave. You’re so proud of the fact you are supposedly the ‘world’s superpower’ and as such you are open to criticism as well as praise - the same as any other country who bangs it’s chest and gives itself high fives.
#41 and 43
Seriously - ‘turning their backs on God’ ‘the judgement of God is coming’ have you actually listened to yourselves. You self righteous religious morons who flagellate yourselves at the first sniff of free will and free thinking need to get a grip. You are responsible for the majority of evil in this world as you are poisoned by warped brainwashing and closeted views on life. So do the world a favour and get yourselves one.

At least Walmart can open checkout 19 again now she is will be going back to what she does best…….;)
LOL Jared!!!
Hail Obama. africa is ecstatic!!!!. The First black president of America who can easily trace his roots to Africa!!!
hail King Obama. N y’all thot Africa will never rule in America.
Today, and for the past two years, I will again receive phone calls all evening long wishing me good luck for the elections - My name is John McCain but I am not the republican candidate - I’m only an African American working as a mechanic. I’ll be voting for Obama you can bet on that…MLIC

I will not miss these celeb endorsement postings. That anyone would look at what Lindsay Lohan says and think “You know…she may be onto something there.”
That picture is hilarious. Obama has white hands!
CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA! From a distance, we share your joy in celebrating this historic moment. God bless Barack Obama! God bless America!
CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA! From a distance, we shed tears of joy at your victory. God bless Barack Obama, God bless America!
Sori for the double posting. am too excited to witness tis historical moments..
I cannot stop laughing at the animation.
Congratulations to President-elect Obama.. and now on to the road to recovery..
Brad Pitt was there.. i missed that..
Bush term was bad yes, but two wrongs dont make a right. Obama is American? no. lol. I think we should have voted in a real american that would have made some changes instead of just voting in a black man because hes black. RACIST!!!!!!!!!!
The people have spoken, and at the dawn of a new day, reality has seeped into the unimaginable. The significance of the day we have witness is a surmountable feat. To those who believed and witnessed this historical moment; our lives will forever be changed. There is no divided America, there is only the United States of America. The America I grew up in and LOVE. For those living outside of America, I urge you to consider the changes of our country within the last century. The strives we made; the lessons we learned. We are all red, white and blue. No matter what origin or country people think i am from (ASIAN), I will always be an American first and foremost.
Man I’m so freaking happy. My mom was one of the volunteers that went from Brooklyn NY to Pennslyvenia to go door to door and encourage people to vote, she even went back yesterday. I went with her on Saturday and let me say that people were so excited, eager and willing to get out there and vote. From the very beginning of his campagine she supported him, cutting out his news clippings and making and album, people (black people) at her job thought she was carzy saying that this country is not and never will be ready for a black president…it’s shameful how ignorance and narrow mindedness can cripple a persons mind. She simply told them whether he wins or not, I am doing this for my grandchildren and their children to come, so they can see the possibilities of what hope and determination can take you. Last night she was crying so hard. I am so happy for this country and the future of the country.
America YES WE DID IT!!
I love it.
I loved that video!
hilarious!
What do you mean McCain gave a good speech?
yes, it was o.k. a the end but he started with a horrible comment.. something like “African American community deserves this…” What a sore looser, sneaky comment. I am white American and Barack is my president and the guy I voted to bring change.
McCain tried to diminish the win, almost making it sound like Obama wom because of affirmative action. Shame on him.
I am so happy because we all know how wonderful hollywood’s morals and values are.
#55 don’t talk if you don’t understand the politics!
US is nothing without oil and China.
Btw… Indian is the original America if you forget it.
to rmw…. I agreed.
Irene… are you 10 years?
The reason that celebrities all tend to be Democrats is because they do not know what it is like to actually work hard. No job, aside from being an actor or musician, would allow you to work for two or three months on a project, make a few million and give you time off for the rest of the year if you wish. THAT is not typical, and THAT is not hard work. Of course they feel that they should be able to resdistribute their wealth… because they earned their money through a means that is inordinary. For those who wake up at 6 am, brave traffic, and do a job until 5:30 or 6:00 pm… THAT is hard work, dedication and a true success.
So, moral is… who cares what celebrities think. THEY are basically ALL morons who couldn’t cut it doing a real job.
#62- LOL
look at Hillary’s hands! LOL
So, will Obama enforce immigration law and send his illegal alien aunt back to Kenya?
I hope he can deliver his fantastic promises? With his party dominating the government, he should. But he already hinted in his victory speech that he will not be able to in his four years. I must say the man is fantastically slick.
Well said, #37
#55, according to some scholars, the Chinese came to America first. Regardless, it wasn’t until the white men came to this land that the US was formed and became powerful country in the world. It was their brain power that built this country.
And before you accuse me of being racist, I am not white.
I like to see the world truly become what its members demand of the US which means China will have a non-Chinese leader, European countries have non-white too, Muslim countries have Christian or Buddhist leaders, and so on. So people from these countries, go change your governments. Unless you think your governments are perfect thus need not change….
Canadians, specially Torontonians love Barack Obama dearly…. There were at least a dozen parties held in Toronto last night even before the final results were announced.. There are thousands and thousands of Democrat Americans who are living in Toronto and all over Canada..and we all very happy the Senator Obama wins the presidency.. God will help and guide him and Vice president Biden in keeping the peace among nations… as a Filipino canadian, and being a minority living in a free and democratic country such as Canada, i salute President-elect Obama for winning the most powerful job in the world…. Peace and Love to all !!
Way to go America! You just elected a man with little to no experience to the highest office in the land. He won an election by using buzz words like “change” and “hope” and asked everyone to just believe him not based on his record but his WORD. He didn’t even keep his word during his campaign. He PROMISED to take public financing then when the smell money came he didn’t hestitate to go against his WORD. Oh, but we can all forget his lies of yesterday and the ones to come because he is “cool” and “not Bush”. We’re going to end up completely irrelevant on the global scene but at least we will be “cool” and we won’t offend anyone anymore. We’ll just be irrelevant, weak, and our dollar will be worth less than it is already. Yay!!! I’m so excited.
OMG…That video is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen!!! Finally, America has done something decent for a change!!! But please, please, please, protect this man. Your responsibility as American citizens does not end at the voting station!! Do whatever you can to ensure that some of your less enlightened “good ol’ boys” don’t try to take him out!! If I see “History” repeat itself one more time down there I’m going to puke!!
From a concerned but happy Canadian (whose bi-racial too)
I think we need to be a bit more worried about OUR security rather than his! Let’s see, let’s take a look at his military experience…..
I’m waiting…. still waiting…. hm… silence.
Oh, it is because he has NONE.
I for one am super exicted for our diplomacy talks with Iran, though. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is such a nice man and I do think that he will see things our way since he is so reasonable.
I echoe #81. Way to go America for not being able to think for yourself and listen to those trigger words of “change” and “hope.”
I will be praying for OUR safety, as we have been living in a VERY different world for the past seven years. And, I will stand firm and thank George W. Bush for keeping us safe and sending a strong message to other radical countries to not mess with the US.
Imagine if he sat down with Ahmadinejad and said “you know, Mahmoud, it’s just not right that you want to kill us… please don’t.” We may think that other countries are happy for us because we have a non-Republican in office… but honestly, they are laughing at us becasue by choosing a man with no experience, we have become the WEAKEST country out there.
Bye bye National Security - I guess we will keep our fingers crossed.
All things are possible to them that believe. Napoleon Hill once said “Whatever the human mind can conceive and believe it can achieve”. Against all odds, against negative ads, negative rhetoric, negative commentary, the American dream conceived in the heart of a believer, became a reality for a nation.
There were those that cooked up a kitchen sink strategy to sink Senator Barak Obama’s election campaign. The kitchen sink strategy failed. Others tried mudslinging politics . That failed. The precision of the Obama 2008 Election team remained sure , stedfast focused on real issues to win the campaign. The pages of history will declare the folly of kitchen sink strategy and mudslinging politics.
All American’s are to be congratulated for showing the world that democracy has never been a dream . Democracy is a reality . South Africa had President Nelson Mandela , The United States of America has President Barak Obama.
Political pundits may have a lot to say about this and that. History books will record the brilliance of the well organised and well disciplined and adequately financed Obama 2008 campaign.
It was said before, some months ago “…That if God wants Barak Obama to be President, nothing or nobody can stop that…”. History now records that he will be the 44th President of the United States of America.
May God’s protection, God’s wisdom and God’s peace be with President elect Barak Obama and his wife Michelle and their children.May God continue to bless and be with the United States of America.
A great campaign. Democracy in action. Errol Smythe.
This is sooo funny I am soo happy for Obama Gooo
YESSSSSSS!! Ive never felt prouder to be a ‘minority’ in this wonderful country of ours!
Great to see everyone getting involved in this big day. That gif is hilarious!
http://celebritytoday.today.com/
The only one can bring change is God the one and only!!!! Not Obama not McCain!! First of all Obama thinks he can fix everything but he can’t!!! Wait a year and you all be thinking man I should not of voted for him. Just watch it always happens that way for everyone!! Obama has already lied. HE AVOIDS TALKING ABOUT THE WAR!!! What does that tell ya. We are gonna have the worst terrorist attack ever when he runs!!!! Worst than 9/11. Time is coming to an end and people don’t realize it!!!
Great job America
Bravo!
To all who suffered and died for this cause of equality, it was not in vain.
G-d Blessed America today.
McCain gave a very gracious speech and did it with real class.
I love America.
Obama
Obama
Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#83-
one does not need “military experience” to be a good President.
You are also incorrect about the USA being the weakest country.
The USA remains the most powerful country in the World and that is probably not going to change.
Actually, George Bush’s decisions made things worse and you still don’t get it # 83?
What a real tragedy. You have all just given your power away, again.
By letting them pull the wool over your eyes. By participating in the system and giving it a stamp of approval. By projecting all your hopes and dreams on one person and letting them convince you that HE will fix the world’s problems. For your sake, please open your eyes. Bush was not the problem, and Obama is not the solution. He will only be the star character in a puppet-show. The face of a government, a group of people with interests and investments, that is so corrupt and so bloated that one man could never stand a chance. A government feeding off a massive system of greed and corruption and consumption and exploitation, and a system fed by the hunger of the money machine and its corporate elites. Heartless people who are now breathing easy because REAL change through revolt and revolution was thwarted (do you even know how close we came?) Who, by tricking the masses to believe they “elected” a president promising “change”, just pulled off the biggest charade in history. The best way to silence the masses? Give them what they want… it doesn’t hurt them one bit to give you your puppet if it keeps you happy and consuming, spending, spending, spending. WAKE UP!!!
It has all become so transparent that any intelligent person can open their eyes to see. If only you LOOK AROUND, you would see that our real enemies are not governments or even terrorists…. but the banks, the oil companies, the pharmaceutical companies, and all corporate giants. You would see how the banks are successfully handcuffing every person on this planet to debt, and controlling the masses through ECONOMIC SLAVERY. You would see how the pharmaceutical companies are running a massive drug cartel who are DENYING LIFE and health in turn for profits, when there exists holistic remedies that cure everything from arthritis to cancer. You would see how the oil companies are orchestrating fake wars, KILLING MILLIONS of people and destroying the planet for money and power when there has been clean energy technology since the 1960s. And you would see how your America addiction to consumption and waste has cost the lives and livelihoods of millions around the world, and for worse.
For a moment, it seemed people were opening their eyes and the world as a whole was waking up… that revolution was a heartbeat away… that the sadistic greed system would finally collapse… and the chance for REAL CHANGE was at hand. For a moment there, it seemed the system would finally be crushed by its own weight. Their “economic crisis” almost backfired and led to REAL collapse… but the fear was controlled so well that when people should have been pulling their money out of bankrupt institutions and the failing stock market, they instead turned to their TV’s to be told they’re “saved” by the government and its fake “bailout bill” that does nothing but create more money out of thin air to pay for defaulted loans that were created out of the same thinning air. Adding more blood to the hemorrhage is doing nothing but DELAYING THE INEVITABLE.
Change never comes from the top, thats why relying on one man will do nothing. It must come from the ground-up, from the roots and the soil. Look at history… revolution has always come from the GRASSROOTS. So, a tree without proper nutrition or healthy roots cannot survive for very long. When you have poor nations forced to export every single resource they have to feed the money machine created by American corporations, so that there is nothing left for the very people who make the land home… its a sign the roots are very, very rotten. For Jebus’ sake, media monster, CNN, has hologram technology now and we can’t even feed everyone in America!!!
So go ahead, celebrate. I however, cannot find reason to celebrate. You sit there, fat, wearing shoes made by destitute children and burning oil taken from starving lands… cheering on “change”. It’s sickening.
YOU MUST BE THE CHANGE. Until then, nothing will.
This is so awesome! We will now be “down” with Iran, N. Korea, Hamas, and Hezbollah. I bet Barack will make fast friends with Ahmadinejad, Mahmoud Zahar, Imad Mugniyah since he has proven he likes to hang out with ex-PLO members and Jew-haters like Rashid Khalidi and William Ayers. Awesome!!!! I’m looking forward to kneeling on a government issued prayer rug, too!! This so Rocks!
#83 What are you thinking!
Bravo, someone else!
#83 What are you thinking! You must be some poodle-loving GOP with a flawless body! Wish we were all so lucky as you! You need to get a life! This isn’t Monopoly and we all dont live in Marvin Gardens!
Oh so many things to respond to…
First of all, Boogie, ever head of a country called China?? Why don’t you research their military and get back to me. Also, let’s look at how WEAK our dollar is, and then you can also get back to me…
Also, in response to “someone else,” I dont recall a time when a bank wanted to plot a terrorist attack and actually kill our citizens. Hm… if you find that precedent, let me know. And, to say that the banks are holding us to debt I have to wonder… “when you opened that bank account or credit card, I didn’t know Bank of America sent a person to your home and held a gun to your head to do so.” Or, when you decided to take on that mortgage that Wells Fargo sent a death threat to your home that said “take on this mortgage or else.”
My point is that debt is only inflicted by those who carry it… THE PERSON. Not the bank. Not the government. YOU… YOU WHO CARRY THE DEBT.
When you make a decision to purchase something, that is ALL YOU. It is your choice to sign your name to a mortgage, after actually reading the terms, and your choice to sign that credit card slip for that Plasma TV that YOU wanted.
What so many, including those I am responding to fail to realize that government and a leader can only take you so far. At the end of the day, it is on YOUR shoulders for the decisions you make, the purchases you make and for the things that you do.
Living in a FREE country grants you the ability to make your life what you want. Are there things in life that just don’t seem right? Certainly! Is it right that pharmaceutical companies make money off illnesses? Not at all! But at the end of the day, we all have the power to make our own choices.
It’s time to stop the whining, stop the blame game and look in a mirror and ask yourself, “what responsibility do I have in all this?” and “how can I as a citizen make an impact?”
We should ALL look in the mirror! :)
its sad to see how the worth of a man isnt by his character or the friends he keeps but by the color of his skin. usually this racism is the other way around…and when it is, it is looked down upon. yet with obamamania it seems to be rewarded and cheered. now we know that hollywood doesnt just doesnt create “zombies” in their movies but in the actual world as well. i can just hope “that one” will protect us from the many evils over seas…because with out homeland security…money in the bank doesnt mean much. god bless america
fair play to him have to say it
its a fair shame that he wont last more than 2 years with the amountof people will want to assasinated
all i have to say if im wont be impressed with him until he fulfills what he “promised” and i dont think that it is fair that half of the money my parents work very hard for is going to the government to give it people who dont work jackshit so they can have a good life

COOL Gif.
Jared where do find such genius things?
you are so creative.
Obama is bi-racial kids. Why dis they say African American?
His Mom was white & his grandparents who raised him since age of 2.
His father is from Kenya..a deadbeat father..but the half African blood
is no denial.
Good for him. I love bi-racial people. I am one :)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
My father is white and mother black - but I call myself black - not only am i brown like barack but it is my right to decide what to call myself. once you have been called the “N” word as I have, you kinda know what side society sees you on. plus his experience has been one of a black person. and you cannot understand that until you walk in his shoes. the majority of attacks against him were because he is black. you think those racists in texas see him as biracial? they don’t care - they seem him as black. and if barack considers himself black - as he has stated as i do also - who are you to argue with it? i also love he married a wonderful black woman and has wonderful black daughters - in his private life he is consumed by a black experience. but at the end of the day,he is a globalist too. so let it go - let people be as they choose. go barack!

also his dad was a wonderful and intelligent man who went to harvard and got his ph d form there - he may have been absent, but he left his genetics and his great political career (economist in kenya) for barack to live by. his father was a HUGE presence.
that .gif is epic lulz
I voted for obama, but the celebrity comments from people like Oprah really piss me off. He’s not god, he’s a politician!!!
America made a bad choice and we will pay for it. I wouldn’t be surprised is Obama is hiding Ben Laden in his basement. I will also be surprised if Obama survives to swear in come January.
wohoo im so happy that he wins !! it’s uncredible ,i want to thank all the americans who voted for him thank you ! im proud of you guys, you made history ,a real example to all the world , a change from the humain being damages from the finacial damages under the murder dog of Bush, and a change from getting isolated and hated around the world, it’s over now ! yes you did it ! a new hope, a new air breathing, and a huge fever love from the wolrd !
From Algeria.
**** kanye, lindsay and her bf or gf, and usher
but yes im glad obama won
I just want to say thanks to all the people of America who made this happen. Thanks to all the foreigners who supported Obama! This proves that good truly out weighs evil. And by no way do I mean McCain was evil. I’m referring to all the racists people out there. (How ya’ll feeling this morning? Sick I bet.) Obama can’t change the world by himself, it’s going to take all of us. Man it feels like I woke up on another planet today! I pray that those still walking in the dark, holding on to the terrible beliefs of your forefathers, finally wake up and see that the world is moving with or without you. It’s time for the new generations around the world to start running things. It’s a new day everybody, let’s show each other love because we all family. Peace!
I am sorry to be a kill joy but not every one around the world is happy he was elected. I am not happy because I really listened to him talk about change and hope and make promises he can not keep. He stress about the highest deficit in history but purpose plans that will add to it. No I am not an American nor am I white. But what a lot of people fail to realize is that what ever decisions he make will affect not only America but a majority of Caribbean countries and other countries around the world because things are going to get a lot worse before the get any better. His position is really still not known. Also he changes his beliefs to please people when ever he was called out on statements made. God forbid he makes a decision and other world leaders take an offense. Any one who was educated or works in an accounting or economic field will let you know up front that his plans don’t add up and will only hurt the economy more. I too was waiting for the day to see the first elected black President of USA but he is not the one. I can be wrong but I believe blacks stuck to voting color to make history and for promises that seem appealing to them but in reality it only mislead the black population. Like any other politician he said what he felt to get him elected. His plans he promises made will not come through and he will change them over his time in office to save face but by then it would be too late and that would hurt the chances of there being any another black President. (If my English seems a little off I apologize)
Response to #91
I agree with alot of things you’re saying. This is truly a step in the right direction, but sadly it’s only a small one. Our problems are far bigger than Obama. It’s still good to see the change in people hearts though.
And for #104: We are not worried about you racists ********. You couldn’t keep him from getting in the White House, and now you mad. Grow up! I was taught to love my enemies, that means you too. But don’t forget there’s a thin line between love and hate. If ya’ll even think about trying something, it’s on! You’ll get dealt with by ANY MEANS NECESSARY! And I mean ANY! You can try us if you wanna, but it’ll be your last day on Earth. (No offense to all the smart people on Earth, but sometimes you have to let these chumps know what’s up!) Once again Peace! (And that’s what it better be.)
haha I love that picture!
Go Obama! Good for you America!

xoxox
GO CELEBS!!! way to speak it out =)
WOW.
oprah cried :S
yikes!:@
Best day in America in recent years. Bless!!!
I htink that judging anyone because of their race is not only ridiculous but very damging to America. I know that there are many people who didnt vote for Obama because he is black, but there are PLENTY of people who ONLY VOTED FOR HIM because of that!!
Grow up, learn where people stand on the issues, and make an INFORMED decision. get over the whole black, white, OR BI-RACIAL thing. In the end.. hell evenin the beginning it wont matter the color of his skin, but the job he does.
This entire election has been about race the entire time adn I would go as far to say that more than half of the people in this country voted on a person because of his race.. either for or against.
America really needs to get back to what really matters.. and not get caught up by a man who is eloquent. We all need to realize that when people make uneducated decisions its going to have consequences regardless.
oh yeah.. and #89.. the president is in command over our ENTIRE military and you think experience doenst matter??? You are just the kind of person im talking about! GET INFORMED!! Gosh.
Obama winning is a repudiation of the inefficient, crusty conservative congress that has been like a cancer in this country the past 8 years.
There is no way that if a real, true, republican was in this election that this fool actually would have won. The republican party has lost its compass and should be ashamed that they lost to this piece of sh*t dirty Chicago politico.
John McCain is a spoiled, little brat just like GWB. He was the son of a high ranking military official which is probably the only reason he got to fly during Vietnam. Stupid idiot got shot down and couldn’t even do that right.
Choosing between these two was like choosing between two different diseases. The public has been sold a lie that this is a new day. Keep being complacent as you watch your personal freedoms slowly being stripped away under the guise of, “that it is better, or for your protection.” Sad day for America.
Kristy says:
“Also, in response to “someone else,” I dont recall a time when a bank wanted to plot a terrorist attack and actually kill our citizens. Hm… if you find that precedent, let me know. And, to say that the banks are holding us to debt I have to wonder… “when you opened that bank account or credit card, I didn’t know Bank of America sent a person to your home and held a gun to your head to do so.” Or, when you decided to take on that mortgage that Wells Fargo sent a death threat to your home that said “take on this mortgage or else.”
My point is that DEBT is only inflicted by those who carry it… THE PERSON. Not the bank. Not the government. YOU… YOU WHO CARRY THE DEBT.”
—————-
How about that 10 trillion in debt that the country is currently sitting on? Where do you think all of that money comes from, thin air? The Fed has been printing funny money for far too long and eventually we will pay for it. Its only a matter of time before the bottom drops out.
This fiat money is not backed by anything but the governments word - GREAT. This national debt isn’t going to just disappear, and our wonderful president elect Obama is planning to tack another 4 trillion on. There is no way that he could cut government spending enough to ever justify 4 trillion in spending. It is only a matter of time before his lavish plans begin to get cut.
Don’t kid yourself, investment bankers run this country and they are holding the public hostage to an extent. It is just not about personal debt anymore, but the country deficit as a whole.
OBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAA WE LOVE YOU I AM SO HAPPY THAT I AM STILL ON EARTH WHEN HISTORY WAS MADE NOW WE CAN PAY A REASONABLE AMOUNT TO GET IN COLLEGE ! AND FOR BUSH HURRY UP AND GO YOUR MOVIN KIND OF SLOW YOU NEED TO MOVE ON CUZ NOW ITS OBAMA SHOW!!!!OBAMA 08 YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
f… off Obama i hate this men
schmiss
at livejournal made it, me and skjflkdgj?
Indeed, you should credit her.
Wow, so much bitterness from some of the posters. UNAVOIDABLE FACT: The decision has been made, and it’s over now. We ALL should be focusing on accepting what has occurred, giving Barack a chance, and ultimately, doing our best to unite as a country.
I was a Edwrards supporter,Clinton & Obama at one time or another. I /we went all out for him once it was time. I watched him at many junctures & we spent more on his behalf.. & our country but he is the best !!! I/we have not felt that way sinse JFK !!! I now know why Ted supported him at the outset.. & I was a delegate for him when he ran & I recall his convention speech in losing & I watched Obama’s in Chicago.. & well I have never in my life been moved like that & I have seen& heard Martin Luther King, JFK< Walter Reuther ^ many others but his is #1 ….GOD BLESS all of HIS children & let us all have PEACE & let that PEACE be everlasting!!!!!!!!
I love hearing the Obama haters! The more you hate, the better it feels! You just have to deal with it, like we had to deal with you idiots electing Bush dumb ass! What were ya’ll thinking? It was so obvious he sucked! So please keep it coming, because it really makes me laugh!
Haha I love this picture of Obama, Hillary, Michelle, and Biden riding the jeep doing the victory dance!!! I’m so excited and can’t wait for him to kick Bush’s ass out of office….
My response to those concerned,
No, bankers and corporate CEOs aren’t terrorists. But their activities are more destructive to this planet and its people than all terrorist attacks combined. It makes the tragedy of 9/11 look absolutely pale in comparison. Imagine the same number of people who died that day, roughly 3,000… mothers, daughters, babies, brothers… now times that number by ten, and that is about how many people die every single day from STARVATION alone. And its not because there is a lack of food to go around. 5 percent of Americans’ leftovers could feed 4 million people for 1 day!!! FIVE PERCENT!!! There is plenty of food for everyone!! And it is not because its too expensive to feed everyone on the planet. Yearly, America’s convenience stores, restaurants and supermarkets throw out about 27 million tons of edible food worth $30 billion USD!!! Thats $16 billion MORE than what it would cost to supply food and sanitation to EVERY PERSON on the planet!! The resources are already available! Americans are literally throwing away the chance for every person on this planet to live.
But I can hardly blame you, because frankly, you don’t know any better. You are so addicted and overexposed to material consumption and so dumbed down by the media and entertainment industry that the fact that there are starving people in the world is irrelevant to your life. That it couldn’t possibly be your problem. Well, I’ve got news for you… IT IS YOUR FAULT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE DYING EVERY YEAR. It is your fault that the planet is being destroyed because every day you buy into the fraudulent system of greed and exploitation built by the banks and corporate giants. Every time you drink a Starbucks caramel frappuccino, you buy into the system. Every time you fill up your gas tank with foreign oil, you buy into the system. Every time you flick on the TV to watch American Idol, you buy into the system. And while nobodies holding guns to heads or forcing you to spend money or accumulate debt, nobodies telling you not to. And that is the main point. They want you brainwashed because it keeps you happy, and happy people spend! If every American knew how much their actions really do affect the rest of the world, nobody would be eating out anymore, or going to the movies, or buying a second or third car…. and the entire system would collapse!
So the reason you are not being told the truth, is because its all about the money. These people who run the corporations and banks have invested so much money in the system, and make too much money from it, to let it just collapse. So, they buy the politicians that will write the laws which make it easier for corporations to expand, conquer and exploit. And they buy the media, television, and entertainment companies that make you “happy” and tell you what to wear, where to eat, and what to spend money on… and it keeps the system going. Keep the masses stupid and happy and believing they want debt, they want greed, they want waste… without them knowing. These ideas are planted in your brains everyday, almost every second, that its so engrained into your thinking that you don’t even know you’re being brainwashed.
So today, this is what it means to live out the American Dream: the freedom and liberty to SPEND MONEY. And in turn, the freedom and liberty to destroy the very life on this planet. Its not exactly what my dreams are made of.
The truth is staring you in the face, if only you would see it.
“We must become the change we want to see.” -Mahatma Gandhi
Canada LOVES you OBAMA! Congrats! We know you’ll make the changes that America needs to prosper and succeed! Xo
woaaa…
OBAMA 4EVER
YES WE CAN!
It is time for america to understand, that it’s not the color of
a person skin, it is about the content of their character. Dr. Martin L.
King, shared this information, so long ago, and to this very day,
there are people still with the same old racist attitude. We are all people, that’s it.There is no one better than anyone else. There are people, who have more money, and others with great resources,
the bottom line is, we all one day will have to leave this earth, so you
better seize the moment, and live right, and respect each other,
it really don’t matter, if it’s a bomb on the street, stop and do
something to help someone. Yes we are happy for the newly
elected President- elect Barack Obama. Enjoy your life to the
fullest. Tell yourself daily we will survive as a nation.
