i will say i am pleased how far america has come that now we have a black man in the white house. Still, I’d prefer he wasn’t a marxist.

i think it’s 43rd.

He is not a marxist, he is just not like Bush, he actually wants to tax the people that can afford it instead of giving them crazy tax breaks.

this is so amazing

i was literally jumping for joy when i found out today. my bio teacher even gave us a speech this morning about how she felt she wasn’t very patriotic but she was so happy for our country.

that is the best gif ever, number one, and number two, i got so overwhelmed watching everything last night… i’m so happy! this is the first time i think i’ve ever been truly proud to be an american (granted, i’m a young’n)…
comment by ang — November 5, 2008

last night i had never felt so proud to be an american, and then today my pride was weakened when i heard in the shool hallways “It’s called the WHITE House for a reason.” I couldn’t believe what I had heard. I can’t believe how awful some people are.
comment by cver — November 5, 2008

it truly is amazing to see how far this country has come. i’ll be honest, i wanted hillary at first. but, when she dropped out, i was all for obama. i think he will be an amazing president. i have total confidence in him. and, i feel bad for the people that are not giving him a chance.
comment by Cassie — November 5, 2008

I was so happy he won! I watched CNN religiously from 2pm - 9pm. My mom and I both cried and cheered for joy when obama won. I’m actually so excited, Obama has such fresh innovative ideas and he’s going to put the wheels into motion and promote change! I’m canadian by the way. but american politics are so much more fascinating than ours. Plus the american election also has a huge impact on Canada Anyways CONGRATULATIONS OBAMA and CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA! ( I want an obama for prime minister )

It’s incredible that the United States finally has a black president for the first time, I’m so glad to be alive to see phenomenal history occur! As immigrants, even my parents feel proud to be Americans, including me!
