    OMG I am soooooo glad you Americans LEARNED from your mistake of 4 years ago..and embraced the BEST person for the job. You didn't let race stand in your way and you all came out in record numbers!

    The youth vote increased so much as did the African American vote. I am soo proud of you all today! For probably the first time ever I'm excited for you all and what the future holds for your country.

    Give youselves a pat on the back...You DID IT!!!!!!!!!!

    Congrats!!!!!! From Canada :D:D

    I apologize, I do care. I don't want America to be seen as a bully. Damn though, I'm mad...nearly in tears. This is horrible. I can't believe this.

    As a britain who has been critical of america for the past 8 years, obama fills me with hope.

    I feel like Obama is going to take everything away from me...in some fashion...that I've worked for. All of it. My new house I'm building, my job, my savings...all of it.

    America needs to mend fences with our European Allies... our NATO allies. We have been viewed as, and rightly so, as an arrogant bully and we need to get our allies to help us in places like Iraq. The only way out of Iraq, without it totally going to shit, is with the help of our friends in the world.
    The Bush (41) Doctrine will work, but we first need to regain the respect of our allies... by admitting our past wrongs.

    i, for one, would like to be respected in the world again...diplomacy is a bit easier when the rest of the planet doesn't make fun of you behind your back (or to your face) for some of the backward policies that this country just can't get past...hopefully this is the beginning of something great, and while i'm slightly skeptical, i am hopeful.

    i just can't understand the concept of not caring what the rest of this world's 6 BILLION people think...we are all in this together. divisiveness has obviously not worked, so why not attempt some inclusiveness and understanding of those unlike "us"??? how about thinking of the "other" as a fellow traveler on this planet that has the same basic needs and worries as "we" do?? it is labels and the "america first" concept that has undone much of what the rest of the world used to revere in us, and it is something that i am hopeful can be changed...

    you people amuse me. one little non-American person who approves of Obama has a way of typing "the rest of the world respects you now" and it actually makes you all feel like all 6 billion others agree. good riddance to this place. I'm losing IQ points hanging out here. enjoy your new president who will eventually pull the rug you're standing on out from under you.

    The rug has been pulled the last 8 years. It's a fact that most Europeans and European governments (even the conservative ones) are happy about a President Obama. So this one little-non American is just right.

    I know it's been a while, but I've exchanged posts with you kc, and I know you're smarter than to buy into this socialist tripe. Or maybe you're joking. I would be more afraid of the bank you got your loan through taking your house, and the investment CEO's taking your savings.

    Then again, you are a chefs fan.

    Since we are all human, and we are all on this rock together.. we should care. The Actions the U.S. decides to take effects the WHOLE world.. we should care what the rest of the world thinks.. sorry hailhailkc.

    Give me a fucking break, If you are homeless in a year, cry me a fucking river.

    This is my main problem with the right, and why I shifted further to the left..

    You are all fucking neurotic as shit!

    While I'm sceptical of what actual change he is going to bring about, I'm so relieved that Obama won. Let's hope his foreign policy is better in the least.
    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    8 years of fear, replaced Im glad
    I spoke today to my little girl,
    I spoke about how when somebody say you cant do somthing because your a girl That you can.
    I spoke about how many many people would have said to this black man that he cant be president because of the the color of his skin. but he has done it.
    HOPE is a great thing. belief in your dreams.
    Today is a great day.
    M.L.K had a dream, today its been fullfilled completely
    and you the american people have given yourself this HOPE.
    regardless of what party you support. A women was on the republican ticket again another first.
    this is such a powerfull day.
    HOPE :)

    We still like you lot more though, even if you don't particularly care for it or the new guy. You don't have to care. Just saying.
