Obama Canceled Fireworks for This Evening

Why does everyone say we've elected a black president when he is just as much white as he is black?

I pray that the people that supported Obama will now end their hatred of PResident Bush and the people that supported John McCain will be supportive of President-elect Obama. We can all work together to heal.

How wonderful for America!! History has been made The election of Barack Obama as President of United States of America says how great each and every citizen of America is!! The American for anyone is possible!! We have made great great statement for all races and each sex! Yes We Can!!

The good news is we no longer have to worry about the Clintons being in national politics any more.

The right person was elected to be our next president without a doubt. Having experienced the negative fallout from the past 8 yrs and feeling a desperation never felt before during the Bush/Cheney years, i can only say that i am proud to have shared and to have participated in this historic event. Time for the minds of those Americans who still feel hatred and divisiveness to lay down your racist views and start acting like proud Americans. We share the same space on the same planet and breathe the same air, let's not pollute the environment any longer than we have already done with hatred and separation -- rather, pull together as citizens of the world to protect our great planet and persevere to strive to evolve our consciousness in paving the way forward for our children and their children that when they receive the stewardship of our great nation that they will do so with the honor and dignity of being a proud American. So to those who want to symbolize their resentment in having Barack Obama as their president, i say this to you -- you can express yourself how wish to by setting an example of just how ignorance and bigotry can cripple a society and foment separation rather than unity. You have a choice -- evolve or remain stuck in the mud.

I pray for President Bush every day. He's had more crises during his presidency than any other president in our history. So much of what he's had to clean up had started before he even began his presidency. He's a refined gentleman that lived up to the honor of serving this country. We are proud of you, President Bush!!

Further....I hit the send button in haste!

WE do need to move on and heal our Country in more ways than can be mentioned in this blog!

God Bless America...and let us brace ourselves for the upcoming year and keep in mind that...

YES WE CAN!

Richard

yes, forget the BS...BUSH got us into this mess in the first place...so, NO damn sympothy for you or BUSH...

I am a republican. President Bush has dealt with more problems than anyone could have imagined during his two terms, and as tough as things are, it is remarkable that we are not in worse shape.

Last night the world witnessed why America is so great. Forget all of the "yes we can" bs, last night our country peacefully selected a new leader with no guns, not a single death. I do not agree with any of his stated policies but he (Obama) is my President and I will give him time. If only Putin of Russia, or leaders of nations in Africa could, or would learn from it. THAT is why Reagan thought us "a shinning city on a hill".

In four years me and my candidate will come after him, (unless he changes my mind)and again the world will see why this is the greatest country on earth.

The government here is ours, when we don't like it, we change it. Yes we can.

God Bless America, and her new President.

to the man who turned his flag upside down. what an insult you have given to all veterans of the past and to all those presently giving their lives for your American privileges. some of us truly are disappointed, but we must be Americans in unity. if you are not happy, bring the flag down, move to Canada or Australia.

Now that the election is over and the American people have decided, let us work together to make America great again. Obama did not promise a magic pill for that. He emphasized the magnitude of the problems, and exhort all of us, not as democrats or republican, liberals or conservative, but as Americans to shoulder our respponsibities to the America and to the world we live in. And that involves personal sacrifices for all.

I was a child in Memphis in the Fifties born into an old southern family on both sides from Arkansas. I am fifty-six years old and I can tell you, as most my age could, that I have lived through some times.In Memphis in the Fifties, as most know, African-Americans were shoved to the back of the bus. There were separate facilities for them etc, etc. In the Sixties,then in Texarkansa, Texas, I remember sometimes walking home from school with a black classmate. If my father had seen me he would have given me a spanking and probably pulled me out of school. You were trash if you associtated with Blacks and other races. It was the norm. We had race riots in Texarkana in the big schools in town. We had a wonderful superintendent, Dr. Lewis Lemon who talked to our student body and kept this from happening at our little high school.

I managed to still pull out of the hate, racism, bigotry and so on. It was by the grace of the Divine that I saw beyond it all. Today I am celebrating and dancing in the street to have helped elect Mr. Obama. And it is not only because of his race, but because he is the best person for the job. I can only see a new age of love coming. It is real. We can make it happen. Yes, we can. Thank you.

Hey Jake...you never really got to the REAL reason there were no fireworks at Barry's acceptance speech last night...after the Roman Spectacle we endured during the Obama coronation as nominee, complete with Corinthian columns.....everything but togas....the "reallly big sheww" (assuming you remember Ed Sullivan) just had to be toned down to OUR expectations for a President's behavior.

Rick, I thought america is supposed to be a free country. You voted for the
dictator...enjoy him, you fought for his right to be elected president.

Steve, the people in this country spit on the veterans in this election. They spit on every grave of every service man that died for this country. Never in my wildest dreams I ever thought I would be ashamed to be an american.
Australia sure looks good.

LILLY - your husband shows his ignorance by turning the flag upside down to protest Obama's (Americas) win. I'm a Vietnam era vet and am tired of the racist bigotry that still remains from generations ago. This sickness passes from generation to generation and only when the young wake up and stand up to their parents (as I did) misguided beliefs do we begin to break out of the poison that surrounds the hopeless haters. I pray for your husband and those of his ilk.

BORN IN THE USA...now that you have painted me a new picture of "Saint" Ayers, let's get to the point: regardless of the stupid comment Barry made about being "8 years old" when Ayers was in his heyday (we are not stupid, are we?) Obama's attempt to whitewash the matter with the stupid comment above parallels his comments about the Reverend Wright.....same tack. He doesn't lie very well, does he?
I can hardly wait for the day that we discover that Ayers is contributing a lot of his "education" knowhow to the "reform" of American public education.

After yesterday's results, I truly wish that I were an American and could have actually voted. That is quite the opposite of what I felt the last 8 years. Electing Obama truly epitomizes what America means to the rest of the world... accepting, assimilating, and giving a chance to anyone who has the intellect and the merit to serve the US of A. Obama is not perfect (and which politician is, really?), but he embodies the best of American ideals and has overnight notched up the respect that the rest of the world has for America. In that respect, America truly might be one of the greatest nations in the world.

I was deeply disturbed at the lack of class my fellow AMERICANS showed at McCain's speech. We have come a long way to elect someone ( finally) for who they are not what they look like. When my son ask me ( 21yr old) to support Obama when he announced his candidacy I said no it was a waist of time. We need change that can actually get elected. I didn't think this country was ready to elect someone for who they are not worry about their color. I was so very happy and proud to be wrong, that he showed us all that he had the character to put up with all the negative campaign stuff and stay true to his goals. I pray that soon God may again bless us and the world.

Well your certainly right that Obama knows how to talk that all he's done is put forth colorful retoric a nice melodic tune but no one heard the words....You say Bush failed America, no he made the hard choices that needed to be done and he wasn't always given the correct information but he always took responsibility for his actions good or bad....I hope for all our sakes that Obama steps up because unlike the senate you can't just mark PRESENT on bills when you are President of our great nation....right now all we can do is pray that he is given wisdom and uses it to make good and correct decisions because America has chosen....maybe not the right choice but time will only tell
