I believe Obama is all about ALL the people in the US. He is about Unity for our country and helping everyone.
-
Barack had better tacket's than John Mccain
and he seemed to care more about the middle, lower class people!-not all about the rich -
he got the changed of america
-
Barack Obama burst me into tears! He is the first and only President during my life-time has able to give me goose pumps while delivering his speech and I hope we've such Presidents in every single countries outthere which will ensure safety of every mundane citizens.
-
I BELIEVE THAT HE IS CHANGE AND TO ALL THOSE UNSUPPORTING PEOPLE ITS NOT ABOUT THE SKIN COLOR ITS ABOUT THE STRAGEDY WHICH MCCAIN CLEARLY HAD NO IDEA OF WE'RE ALL FROM ONE GOD SO WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE THAT HE'S BLACK GET OVER IT.
-
I am glad America has grown up and finally made the right choice for president.I think Barack Obama is the change we need.I hope he does his best and i wish him the best of luck!

I have been an Obama supporter since the primaries. My daughter and husband are McCain supporters. My son voted this year for the first time and voted for Obama. My five year old grandson voted in a "mock" election in his kindergarten class and voted for the "brown guy". I am very proud of America that we finally were able to put the issue of race aside and vote for the most qualified person for this job.

There was no one else better for the job! We in Saint Lucia followed this election very closely and in the end we were quite satisfied with the results, alot of us wished that we could have voted too, can you just imagine that? I know that the neighbouring caribbean countries felt the same way too.

The bible says When the righteous is in Authority the people rejioce.God has spoken.I knew Barack would win.I waited patiently and the Lord and he heard my cry.I voted Oct.16 2008.This world has to change.You brought nothing in this world and surely you will take nothing out.Only what you do for Christ will last.So nothing from the time you are born to the time you die even matters.God can and will do what he wants.

He is not only the African-American's president but all Americans. It is time for us stop judging each other base on our race but on our characters. This election make me proud to not only be an American but to be able to live here in America.
God Bless America!!! -
I'm from Denmark, and we are very happy that Obama is taking over.
-
he is the man who will change whole and bring peace in iraq
-
Big up Mr.OBAMA,you're the one who will bring changes to our beloved country...Yes we can(black people)
-
God bless you and agree your program to rise the economy......

I am glad the election is over and picking the "right" candidate is a hard choice. who knows if picking Obama was the "right choice, but when i see ignorant comments where people are still using "African Americans" as a term when not all blacks are from Africa it kind of makes me die a little inside. The fact that Obama is black really shouldn't be an issue. I voted for McCain because i believed in what he was supporting, I didn't vote for him because he is white. one of the comments below say "yes we can" meaning just black people...well we are one country that should not be separated by race and religion and if people keep talking about the differences in color it is never going to change. I think black people are feeding into that more than white people and you as black people are oppressing your own race when I look around the majority of people alive today didn't have slaves, get over it.
-
Amen to that ! One nation Under God,that is the constitution
-
I am not ne to hod grudges at any time. But for you to tell black people to get over it, is heart wrenshing. WE all realize that the slave owners are now dead, however the mentality of some of those individuals has not changed. It is unfortunate some races don't truly understand the reason that Black America fees the way that they do. For the first time, we felt like we are apart of this country, that we can and wikl succeed.
-
-
well not get over, but keep it in your hearts yes, but don't punish us. i see it too often and my family didn't have slaves, I didn't wrong you.
-
Finnally after 8 years, we have Obama. His voice is mesmerizing to hear, with all his nuances of feeling, and strength....He's a leo, and he will be a leader in his heart and this will draw us to him even more as we feel the warmth and strength. I like how he is not afraid to say what he means, and above all, he's been a gentleman....he's great! I think he is super intelligent and that is something that comes out too. He talked at the convention and said what we were all thinking, but no other politicians came right out and stated....such as we need to be responsible ourselves in our daily lives. He has common sense, unlike the buffoons who have been getting over on us these 8 years.
-
For the record I'm black. The presidential choice you made should have been made solely on each candidates policies. For those of you who made the choice solely on race, I can't believe you still exist. Black people need to stop making such a big deal over being black. I know it was a biggy back in the day when we were slaves, but that day has passed. Whatever happened to good old "forgive and forget". MOVE ON PEOPLE. Now about the president elect. I wanted Obama to win. I honestly didn't like any of my choices for president. Mccain is an idiotic nutcase, so was his vp. Obama is too peaceful and we need someone who is going to take this thing by the horns. Essentially I would have voted for a McBama. Obama should have run after we had a McBama. I like his energy plan and pro environment style.
-
this doesnt make any sense!.....obama is too peaceful?...WOW! he is perfect for the job and will do VERY well on behalf! im sure of this! this is what gave us after these horrible 8 years! if it was meant to be mccain would have won!....god didnt want another bush to lead us....he is another bush! and palin was jus horrible! OBAMA 4 EVER!! he is an awesome man! Bless him lord!

-
It is the change everyone needed and President elect can thank the majority of Americans that voted him in. I sincerely hope that the Insider employees were part of this change! I could not vote as I am Canadian. I did help by praying non stop until his victory was announced. Now its up to all of in the universe to keep him grounded and give him our full support!
-
Not that I was a fan of McCain's at any rate - but his selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate was the final nail in the coffin. He had completely sold out his soul to appease the far, far, far religious right running the Republican party and the gov't for the last 8 years. Barack was the only sensible choice. Well, Hillary would've been better but at least she's now Secretary of State.
-
need change once in your life time
-
hey mr.president obama my name is abdio and i was born in kanye thank you good day
-
We can call "White House" as BLACK HOUSE also now !
-
What a stupid question to ask. Let me see if I can answer your question so there will be no doubt as to what my answer is to your question. You ask, did America make the right choice in electing Barack Obama as President? Here's my answer, are you ready? HELL YES !!!!!
-
The man haven't even gotten into the White House and people are trying to stir up trouble with that Governor in Illinois. But I have no doubt that Obama was the right choice. I am so looking forward to January 20th. I want to party with the Obamas and the world.
-
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Finally HELL YES!!!!
-
I voted for John Mccain
-
I wish my parents were alive see President-elect Obama. I wish I had a banner to place on there grave for Christmas
-
i'd like to think he is the change america needs but its the same as over here they all pee in the same pot.until one of these presidents or priministers prove otherwise i think nothing will change
-
He is the change we needed black or white, we needed a leader who was understanding of our time and future.
-
Obama rules!!!!
-
He's intelligence... He is the best for AMERICA..
Mabuhay Obama! -
For foolish people who's talking about the White House now being call the Black House. It will still be call the White House when the Obamas move in, so don't worry okay.Give the man a chance to get in there and try to straighten out this big mess Bush has this country in. It will not be easy. I hope people realize that, things may get worse before they get better. But I have no doubt that Barack Obama was the right choice.
-
I wish Bush would leave NOW!!!! It is time for our real leader to get in there and start this difficulty job.President Obama.
-
I hope people understand that his job will not be easy. So if things don't go the way we want them too right away, don't turn on President Obama. OKAY. He has been given a hard task, but I am believing in him and his staff to work hard at turning this mess around. Obama was the only choice in my opinion.
-
Please all of us pray for the Obamas. I am so thrill, can't wait till 1-20-09.
-
ask me this question in 4 years that will be the true test. The majority of americans elected him into office because they believe in what he said. Now just follow through with the promises and dont be romanced by the political special interest groups and he will be in it for another 4 years. Im conservative by nature but I draw no party lines. Lets just see what happens.
-
i think american people had the wrong choice because if he is killing and destroying poor people like BUSH i don't think i will call hem a president , he is a KILLER . BUSH is going to the garbage of history and he belong there. and if Obama do like BUSH he is going with him . if you think i'm wrong look what is happening if GAZA .
-
I am thankful that I got to be a part of history. I think the best man for the job got it. Obama seems like he will truly promote bi-partisan actions while in office. I have a renewed sense of pride in my country, and my family for that matter. I think we did the right thing as a country.
-
yes they did.....................
-
We will see what happens!!!
-
he's not a king just president!!!
-
President Obama is truly the "Peoples President". He has the capacity to bring opposite sides together in order to bring the United States back from despair, and has charged the People of America to also do their part as well. OBAMA ROCKS!!!!
-
Yes!!
-
Yes couldn't have been a better choice
We need change ASAP -
i think president obama will definitely make a good president and no matter what difficulties come his way he will make it all the way through
-
Obama has the change America needs...see more
-
NO WAY, they chose color over experience..... at the end we'll see if it was right or wrong...... For those who voted for color, remember his half white, only the skin in black.
-
Ida from PA, I am 59 years old, and never thought I'ed see this day. I was a child when MLK and JFK were killed, and I'm here to see MLK's Dream come to this point in time. I belive the best is yet to come, and as my grandmother use to say "God didn't bring us this fare to see us fail." President Oboma and his family will always be in my prayers every night.

WHO EVER PUT MCCAIN THEY UGLY AND STINK
-
Mc Cain would have clueless and would not have helped to bring about change to help solve this finanacial crisis. Mc Cain would have still been help the same individuals and Wall Street who cause this mess. Mc Cain wanted to continue to give tax cut to the richest people and continued a war that should have never stated. Not to mention he would have still been telling the American public that the economy was strong. Just more lies, stealing, less regulations, from Wall Street and Big Business who do not have a problem paying minimal salaries the people at the bottom but can pay the CEO and his buddies $55 millions + benefits and health insurance, after running the company into the ground. I do not believe that President Obama will do what these lier, cheats, and nuts have done to running the United States into a financial melt down.
-
He will be an excellent president for the people
-
I HOPE THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA DOES NOT TAKE ANY GUF FROM THOSE CRAZY REPUBLICANS WHO WANT TO SEE HIM FAIL. THEY ARE IN THE BACKROUND PLOTTING AGAINST EVERYTHING OR SOLUTIONS FOR CORRECTIONS OF THIS FINANICIAL MESS. YET WE HAVE NOT HEARD WHAT NEW SOLUTIONS THAT THEY HAVE EXCEPT FOR THE SAME OLD CRAZY "LOW TAXES FOR BIG BUSINESS WILL HELP TO CREATE JOBS, FREE MARKETS, LESS GOVT REGULATIONS" AS YOU NOTE ALL TO THESE CONCEPTS FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS HAVE GOT US INTO THIS FINANICIAL MESS. GREED AND MORE GREED + LIES, STEALING FROM THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN HAS RESULTED IN THIS FINANICAL MELT DOWN. WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES DO NO WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE LIES OR WHAT THE GOVT CAN NOT DO WE WANT SOLUTIONS AND STOP LYING TO US OTHER THE STATE OF THE ECONOMY.
-
wake up people....it takes more than just being a great speaker to make a great president....I am willing to give him a chance to do something, just not talk about it
-
Hurrah! It is fantastic to read that the mindset of most people is about the best person to handle the job! We cannot deny the history of our country but by the same token we cannot move forward to better ourselves and our descendants if we hang on to the negativity. Acknowledging and learning from mistakes is the key. GOD Bless America!

obama is the one

I believe that Barack Obama is the best president of the United States.
I think he would lead the country with wisdom and sincerity better than others ...see more -
Where the heck did that question come from? Heck yes we made the right choice. Your question ought to be how did this economy get in the shape it is in? And the answer is in Texas, and the Republicans in D.C. who let Bush have everything he wanted.
-
Barack Obama is the right and only choice. It will not be easy, and it might take some time, but I believe the President will do all he can to turn this mess around. It seem the Republicans want to play the same old politics. The Democrats aren't so innocent either. We ALL must work together in order to climb out of this big hole. And those greedy CEOs need to do their part too.
-
obama is going to be a fresh change for ameriaca. Many of us are very excited to see what he can bring to the table. I'm very proud to have voted for him.
-
I'm very excited to see what obama will bring to the table. Fresh views, etc. I think this will be a great change for the American people. I'm so sick and tired of hearing he's black. The man is a malato half black and half white. So I asked his if he ever had a blood transfusion. He replied yes. So I asked him what color was the person who saved his life.....he shut up!!!!

hi to all of american in the world we,re so happy to the right choice sure obama he,s the betar for america and the iraq (cuz i,m iraqi )and i,m working with u.s. army in iraq and i love all american pepole.
-
Obama's best friend helped plan 911 doesn't anybody give a about that? As well as his wife has said she's never been proud to be American. And let's not forget that he wasn't born in America and he refuses to salute the flag. And this is who you voted for?
-
I hate Obama he wants to turn America into a socialist country as well as change the constitution. I guess he knows better than our founding fathers. And you're letting him do this.
-
If you people actually knew anything about politics you wouldn't have voted for him. His best friend is a terrorist, his spouse has said she hates America and he wants to ban electricity.
-
Why would a question like that come up? He has been in offic less than a month and he has done more good than George Bush.
-
his is the best and he is an American period.
-
OBAMA WILL BE THE GREATEST PRESIDENT EVER!!! he is the hero of america
-
OBAMA I KNOW YOU ARE THE ONE THAT WILL TURN OUR COMMUNITY AROUND AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO YOU RUNNING OUR COUNTRY FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS....HOPEFULLY 8! I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO FOR THIS COUNTRY SOMETHING THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS. FOR ANYONE ELSE THAT HAS SOMETHING NEGATIVE TO SAY ABOUT OBAMA. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME, FOR HE IS TRYING TO HELP US NOT TAKE FROM US AND HE IS AMAZING. I WILL PRAY FOR THE OBAMA FAMILY EVERY NIGHT. I WISH THEM THE BEST. LETS LEAVE THE RACE ISSUE IN THE PAST, THIS IS NOT A ISSUE OF CONCERN WE ARE ONE! GOD BLESS OBAMA!
-
I think america made the right choice in picking Obama. after eight years of George W. Bush, it's time for a change.
-
Impeach Obama
-
It is my strongly believe that we made the right choice. It is time we have an American president who is in office to represent all of the people. Mr. Obama appears to fit that role. I also must admit, there is a long road ahead, and we as citizens must not expect this change to come overnight!
-
The only change you will see is the transfer of all your $ and spare change from your pocket to the IRS. Good luck to you all and, by the way, can anyone name one thing other than BarHO's two-year Senator stint that qualified him to be President? No? I thought so.
-
Remember that 48+million Americans did not vote for him. Did the rest make the right choice? Time will tell, but be careful what you "hoped" for...the "change" could be costly (even a larger government for us to pay for, more government control of the people/businesses, no energy independence, more illegal aliens, nationalized healthcare, bigger welfare programs, get ready for taxes on everything,get ready for inflation.)
-
am the best fan of mr president barrack obama diz reali a change to America
-
OBAMA IS AMERICA LAST CHANCE
HE IS THE BEST PRESIDENT UNTIL NOW FOR SURE
OBAMA NOW IS AMERICA
