Feels good to have respect once more for someone leading the country.

Since I was edited out, I'll share my thoughts h:

All the young exstatic people screaming for him made me a little worried. I'm afraid that people are being to naive about the election, assuming that Obama will ride into the white house on his flying deLorean and fix everything. I don't think I've ever seen a campaign where both sides promised so much they that they must've known wasn't really possible. He's got a massive job ahead of him, and I hope he's up to the task. My gut instinct is that he will have a lot to own up to in 4 years.

That said, the important thing is that he's been given the opportunity, and I wish him the best of luck. For the first time in my voting carreer I actually picked a winner, and moreover, so did my state.

:edit: Another positive note: he will undoubtedly change the perception of America to the rest of the world in a postive way, and in terms of international relations, I'm hoping he can rebuild some of the bridges W burned.

Yeah, I know he's not yet until Jan 28th but can't stand Bush. Besides I like that sound anyway President Obama.
He know it's going to be a long road ahead. The country been screwed for the last 8 yrs & we couldn't deal with another 4 yrs of a Republican in office.
Not sure who else feel this way.IMO don't think 911 or war would've happened if Gore had beed elected President thanks to what Bush's brother did in FLA.
Just my Opinion.

Fucking werd,
a friend of mine said it best, "Obama is not a superhero. Realize this. He will not save you from yourself."


As for the whole 9/11, pointing fingers on whose at fault, if it would have happened, that's another problem.... speculations, get over it... focus on fixing the now instead of what should have happened then.

That's Obama's biggest threat: People being ignorant of what he can and cannot do.

He is a brilliant organizer who can pull the best out of people. If you watched how his campaign was run you'll see parallels to how his presidency is likely to be run. I think his abilities will transition well to the white house.
