President Barack Obama!

Democratic nominee Barack Obama has been elected the 44th president of the United States of America. He is the first African-American elected to the office of Commander-in-Chief.

"Change has come to America," he told a crowd in Chicago's Grant Park as his family -- and 125,000 supporters -- looked on. "The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America -- I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you -- we as a people will get there,"

Senator John McCain congratulated the President-elect tonight and urged all Americans to stand behind him. "I pledge to him tonight to do all in my power to help him lead us through the many challenges we face," he told his supporters in Phoenix. Running mate Sarah Palin appeared on stage behind him, but didn't speak.

As supporters in Chicago cried, "Yes, we did," thousands gathered on Pennsylvania Avenue outside the White House to cheer, "Obama! Obama!"

Tonight marks the end of the longest presidential campaign season in American history -- 21 months.


NEXT: Election 2008: You Decide!

 

What is that a Wall Street Journal Poll? Can’t put any stock in polls!! And that number (if it’s even remotely close) serves as a number PRE-President. He’s not been able to do any “damage” yet. Not til AFTER Jan. 20th. Heard on the news just tonight, that Barrack is taking guidance with one John McCain? Hmmm.. the inexperience is already beginning to shine brightly. Seems all the people he is appointing is under investigation from the government? And don’t think you’ve heard the last of the coruption stories out of Chicago either.

Let the broken promises begin. And I speak of ALL politicians. Not just the knucklehead going into the white house.


- ratings?

President Obama is extremely popular with the American public. His latest approval rating is 84%. That is simply phenomenal. No other President have ever commanded such incredible support from the American public.

Everybody loves the guy, even Republicans; there are only a handful of a$$holes on the right wing lunatic fringe who don’t like him but who cares, they are freaks.

I believe he will be the greatest President this country has ever seen. God bless our new President.


- I love Obama

there are a lot of muslim american’s in this country, muslim does not equal terrorism, and if you believe that it does, then you have a lot of learning to do, and i guess it’s time for you to re-educate yourselves.

black people voted for obama because he’s black, just like some white people DIDN’T vote for obama because he’s black, so what point are you trying to make?

I somewhat agree with RC..

To be frank about it, I see this as affirmative action government and media style.

We now have a black man in a job with much less experience that his white counterpart with so much more experience! Seems mean spirited but it’s not, it’s only something to think about.

I too am ashamed of the American Voter turn-out. Too many people wanting to make history, and not enough giving a war veteran his due.

I really believe that if we had been givin better choices for our president Obama never would have stood a chance. The only reason that “African Americans” voted for him is because he is “African American”, and as for the white people who voted for him that was merely because we dont want another bush to run our country. Reguardless of anybodys reasons Obama is now our president. The terrorist groups all believe this to show our weakness through our desperate attempt for what some would call “change”. Its a joke really. What makes people think that he can do this job as our president just because he is black? He’s still a muslum either way you look at it. He wont even put his hand on a bible.. Good job america you put a black muslim in charge of our country even after everything that has happened… Im almost ashamed to be an american…

I am merely stating my opinion!!

It’s others whom want to “argue” with me?

And to the one calling ME a drama queen, yet says they are DONE and NOT COMING BACK? Talk about “drama”? (they’ll be back,.. guarantee it)

For crying out loud.. diss my opinion and stick to the issues, stop the personal attacks and you won’t BE attacked. Simple as that. Geesh.

If you can’t handle disagreements, then why comment at all?

So far as “name calling”.. yea I said that about OBAMA.. not anyone HERE??? Why do people feel the need to “protect” and “defend” Obama by calling me childish names? “racist” etc???

That is simply MY OPINION about Obama.. disagree with it all ya want to.. but there is absolutely no reason to attack me over the opinion, just say it’s a stupid opinion, or why you think it’s a silly opinion.. the adage to anything more than that is just, well.. stupid.

I never said Hitler was a “good christian”. “Thou shalt not kill” isn’t a hard commandment to remember.

But Hitler, as a child, was a devout catholic christian! That is the fact.

I’m no fan of any dictator/mass murderer. Nor do I believe that people like Barack Obama should be “praised” in any fashion as a “God-send”. The President is a mere mortal,.. another MAN. His position is to be “respected”, but the MAN must earn my respect.
Again - - my humble OPINION.

i voted for MR. McCain, yet i m not a racist. Our cuntry has to move forward and not backward. i believe that all democrats and republicans will work together to get this country back in shape. Hitler killed millions of Jewish people, he is no christian to me. He may be to you, but no to me. fact checks or not.
