Hi,
I’m not American, but I am so happy about the results of your election that I needed to say it to any American online I can find I know my country (Croatia, Europe) won’t benefit from it, but knowing that American people has finally found the right path towards future is a comfort, because I know that Obama will make some very important changes which will make difference and help resolve some issues in other parts of the World (Africa) – I congratulate you Americans for the giant step you made choosing Obama to be your president! Now you don’t have to be ashamed. Nice work, people!

Karma is a funny thing sometimes, not only did my candidate win, my lotto ticket paid me back a dollar!!!!

All in all I think I made out quite well today, I might even try to sleep.

I don’t know about that. JFK and MLK are largely remembered for being visionary figures, rather than for practical achievements. I hope Obama isn’t remembered for the other thing that unites JFK and MLK.

Sorry people as much as I want Obama to be the answer you need to rein in a bit. Lets see what happens when the time comes to roll up the sleeves and get stuck into the shit-pile. Also comparing an untried novice to J.F.K. and M.L.K. is not only insulting to two of the greatest Americans it,s also unfair to the man himself.

I’m giggling at “Anonymous”, up the page. I wonder is he related to Palin the Articulate.

It’s nerves. I’m SO anxious for Obama to win, but we can do nothing only wait!

Sorry Bock, I missed out on Joe the plumber. My local plumber of choice is Terry, but of course like most people I never call him until long after I should have. Terry would never vote for McCain either.

It’s that cross between Martin Luther King and JFK that makes him so inspirational. Let’s hope the Washington Establishment don’t silence him because he could help to lead us all out of the present morass if he’s let.

Yes but Bush’s job was not to lead, it was to divert attention from those who did. And anyway, you shouldn’t use Armageddon as your yardstick.
But perhaps the idea of Obama will be enough to motivate people to make real changes themselves. One way or another we will see.
