Obama will make the greatest President in US History. The overwhelming majority of the American public love and support him. He has an incredible opportunity to change America for the better and probably change the world along the way too.

I agree, although it is an historic event, the first black man elected to the highest office in the land, don’t focus on his color…I don’t think Obama wants us to focus on his color either. Let’s focus on this man’s character, his ability to lead, his dedication to helping “main st america”…I voted for him because I think he’s is the best man for the job, not because he is black…I for one am excited…This man has inspired hope all over the world, not just in this country….I wish him the best, it is certainly a job I wouldn’t want, I think he’s prepared to take on the challenges this country faces, and I think he will bring about change, not overnight, but it will happen.

please do not glorify Obama for being black. glorify him for doing the job he is elected. white or black I hope he completes what he claims his administation can do . please be able to look past his skin or all that will be seen is white or black not his ability to lead.I am raised mostly white rule but whom ever leads correctly has my vote!
