Ladies and Gentlemen we have just witnessed history!

I just watched John McCain's concession speech so I'd say it's more than just a projection at this point and it's okay to go ahead and count those chickens! This is indeed an historic night and I am proud of the choice this country has made. Change is needed and long overdue.

LOL--I was wondering who would be first to do a discussion about this..I guess you win..heehee while I wasn't thrilled really with either candidate, it truly is a historic event in our lives that we are witnessing. Uh..I did vote for Obama by the way...just couldn't get into the McCain thing especially with Palin as his chosen VP

Yes I guess another chapter in history is being closed and a new one is to emerge anytime soon. I hope it will be for the good of the world not only inthe US as US is establish as the one that controls the world when it comes to policing its neighbouring countries.

I have been thinking about that. I grew up in the segregated south. My grandmother had slaves when she was a child. I remember when blacks could not use the same water fountains we did or come in the same doors or stay in the same hotels. It will be very interesting to watch President Obama take the Oath of Office on the Capital steps which were built by slaves. We have indeed come full circle.

Firstly, don't count your chickens before they hatch. He has not yet one the presidency. He is only the projected winner. Secondly, I really won't care if he does become president. It's not that big of a deal to me. He wasn't the first "black" guy to run for president, and he won't be the last. If he does become president, he's just another winner.

I'm happy as heck! We've worked hard to get Obama elected! We had to face some much crap about Obama being a terrorist and a Muslim. I'm glad that Americans made the right, and smart, decision.

It's always awesome to witness events that our grandchildren's children will be learning about! But now is the hard part. There is nothing wrong with all the celebrations and excitement over this historic event, but the time will soon come for Prs. Obama to put aside the status and do the job.

Aye, the world breathes a little easier all the best urban

All I saw is what happens when the media manipulates and brings a non-experienced man into the White House and what happens when people vote based on race and not on intelligence and experience. Did not watch it. When I go to vote, I choose the person's moral value and his ability, not his color or lack of it and his verbosity. I am not an American, but maybe if I were, maybe I should see what one of the candidates were German/Austrian /-English-Welsh and voted for him. That would have made just as much sense.

I feel great about witnessing history and I feel more hopeful about our country's future than I have for a long time. It's not just that Obama won, although those of you here who now me know I've been an Obama supporter since it because clear he was going to win the nomination, but it's also because I feel so totally proud of the people of this great country for finally giving us an election turn-out we can be so happy for the entire world to see, I'm so proud and happy that it appears our young people have stepped up to the plate and come out to vote in a way they haven't done since the voting age was lowered to 18 back in 1972 when I was 20 and all my friends and I were so excited about being able to vote for the first time. I'm especially proud of all the people in America who proved to the country and the world that we really can be a color-blind. This campaign was destined to make history from the beginning when out of all those competing for their respective parties' nominations there was an African American, a Latino, a Mormon and a woman. The two tickets ended up including the old stand-by white guys but they also included our President Elect who is black and a female v.P. candidate and despite all the mud and dirt that was flung around and some accusations and allegations of race and gender-baiting and the like, these factors weren't what decided the election, at least not in my opinion and certainly not for me. Most important and historic of all is that our future generations, beginning with today's college-age voters who came out, most for the first time right on down to those children being born as we speak, these things will probably not be factors at all. The babies and young children today will finally truly grow up believing anything is possible for them. Annie

Yes we have and I hope that it shows that America is on the road to a better future. I think it is wonderful just as I thought the Apollo space missions were wonderful. I do hope that this suggests a brighter future.
