    I've been saying it in my head for the last 2 or 3 days...

    I couldn't say "president bush" for about 2 years. I'm not exaggerating.

    It sounds real weird but the Newpapers here in DC will be flying off the selves tomorrow. I can just imagine what will be on the cover of the Washington Post.

    I couldn't be any happier ..... this is a day to remember, definately a day in History!

    I can't even concentrate on my homework right now and once he walks out there to address the crowd and the nation I'll probably be bawling... LOL :D

    I know his grandma is looking down feeling as proud as ever for President Barack Obama!

    Wow. I actually shed a tear....this will be one of the most significant nights in the history of our great country.

    As a minority, it feels pretty good to see this man take seat of a cracked throne, and hopefully, restore some hope back to the people across our land. Dang, this is just amazing to watch. Watching the people at Grant Park showing their emotions is making me actually feel great to be an American....for the first time in a long time. Wow.

    One thing folks Obama has a HELL OF A JOB ahead of him and folks he can't accomplish anything by himself.

    He'll need each and everyone of it's citizens, it appears he's at the bottom of the political sphere and the only place he can head is up way up.

    Peace and congratulations

    The people have spoken.
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.
