Wow, thats a landslide victory for BO....! Now he has to clean up the mess left behind the outgoing Bush adminsitration. I hope he can come up with a plan to fix up the economy and end all military action going on now. America has to fix up its problems in its own backyard before going into the wide world. He may very well be the man to broker peace amongst African nations and the middle east. Good luck to a man whom may be what the world needs.
Thank god! America has finally looked past the divisive issue of race and all the negative stereotypes associated with it, to realise WHO the best person to lead their country is. At the core of it, that's what the American people want- a change for the better.
OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEH! NO MORE BUSH!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEH!
Congrats OBAMA..I've seen a lot of things..but I didn't think I would ever see this in my time...THE 'I HAVE A DREAM SPEECH' HAS COME TRUE...THIS IS HISTORY!!!
No matter who won in the election, they managed to get rid of that war monger George Bush. Hopefully Obama will concentrate on getting America back on its feet and not try to resolve the rest of the world' problems. Hopefully Obama will look after the home front first then diplomatically assist other countries in need rather than simply declaring war on them. This man appears to have the intelligence and integrity to do the right thing by his country. George Bush just wanted to be "King of the World!"
This is an exciting time that effects each and everyone of us, Definitely history made today!!! I just hope Obama keeps to his word brings USA out of recession and brings our troops home!!! The fact this is both a political and racial issue only confirms how far we as people have moved forward, yes there still is racism but it is definitely a step in the right direction :)
The Yanks have finally got it right, it only took 8 years a war or two and a resession to realise they picked the wrong leader.
Martin Luther King Jr Dream has become true!
I think it's great thing to see a black president, it looks cool. He dresses smart and is good looking, he make amazing speeches. Hopefully they will take the troops out of iraq and afganistan.
What a great result! Considering 80% of Americans are white, it is clear race did not place a major part in this decision (that everyone had expected). My faith in Americans has been somewhat restored!
Thank God. It's about time America voted for someone who uses their common sense.
I am happy for Obama!!
I wanted Obama to win, no doubt. But I am sick of it being a black and white issue. Many many white people voted for Obama, many many white people wanted Obama to be the next President, not because he is black! because of the man he is and what he can bring to his country.
Thank God and please let Him bless America. Obama has a mountain to climb with the mess he has been left. Let us hope that the last 8 years can be polished clean, and America loses its very poor image attained by the Bush administration. When power, greed and tricks are perpetrated, eventually it comes back to roost. The people, for a change, have spoken. What clearer message can be given that the type of behaviour that has existed from Wall Street to Washington has to, and must change. Hooray!!
I hope more Americans realise now that when they use their right to vote they empower themselves and reduce the power of the corporate elites who have trashed their economy and livelihoods.
I am very happy for Obama. Unfortunately though, Australia is so far behind, i do not anticipate a non-caucasian prime minister until 2089!!!
I rejoice in the outcome of the US election. Barack Obama is a young well educated articulated African American who offers change & a new direction.This outcome is much more than just another result, its a promise of change & new directions, at a time when the world really needs new & fresh leadership, not just the US but all the world. Lets hope this bright young man can weld together all peoples of all creeds & beliefs for the much needed common good. God Bless Obama.
No longer the United States of un-consciousness, maybe the giant can again awaken?
Well done America. This is the best news for the whole world. Peace at last.......
The World has - once again - changed. This time, for the better. I, for one, am so glad that America has finally matured. What she does with that newfound maturity remains to be seen. This will, without doubt, go down as one of the most defining moments in history that we will see in a long time.
We are witnessing history. There has been a black American secretary of state, A black American 4 star general, chief of staff and now a black American president. Abraham Lincolns' signature on the edict of emancipation in the dark days of the War Between the States has run full circle.
None of us know what the outcome of Obama's election is going to mean we are all just guessing but I do know this. The USA used to stand for something that has been completely lost particularly in the last 8yrs. They cannot talk about freedom and liberty on one hand and continue to foster an ideal that supports Guantanamo Bay and fights wars for money. If they want to regain respect in the international arena they have so much work to do which requires DRAMATIC change.
Obama if nothing else represents a willingness to accept that change is required. I say good luck to him.
Thank you Sarah Palin for your great service to USA - I dont think Obama could have won without your input.
Hallelujah - it's finally over. Congratulations to Obama - the best man won. Now can we get back to normality (somewhat). There are more important issues to be covered in the news.
It's the best news for the world and America.
C'mon Obama! America needs something new and i think you will be the President to do it! America needs to step out of their comfort zone and try something new! OBAMA!
I cannot believe that I am going to WITNESS the 1st AFRICAN AMERICAN american president in HISTORY .. what an amazing journey !
It's about time the african/american community had a FAIR GO .. who would have thought back in the days of slavery that many, many years down the track an african/american would be the PRESIDENT of the USA ...
OBAMA - WELL BLOODY DONE MATE ! .. I take my hat off to you !
Was kinda hoping that Sarah Palin would become VP, we haven't had a really entertaining VP since Dan Quayle. (Although George Bush was pretty amusing). Does Barack do funny?
Be sure, Americans are flavour of the month here in Australia. Americans come on down. We love you!
