A Powerful Moment
Nov 4^th, 2008 at 11:25pm

I am overcome with emotion.

This has so much meaning, more than economy, eliminating in VOLUMES the fear that everyone has put out there - even at work today, I had to deal with verbal diarrhea - how do you tell your employee who not to vote for - this is America!! And there are always the few rotten apples that spoil a perfectly good barrel, that's nature.

The WORLD is celebrating. Know it, believe it!!

Congratulations to all of you who know where I'm coming from - and to the new President- elect, BARACK OBAMA. Smiley

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

There is no doubt about that Patty. No doubt at all. It was a long fight, and the Nation has spoken.

It's a historic Moment, and the World as we knew it will be different, and bettered in many ways.

I voted the issues, and it was for neither Barack or John. But I do believe that of the 2 major parties the best man won. (Sorry Fu, but but that is what I believe.)

Don't be sorry, be proud of America. I too believe this is historic, just maybe not in the same way. We are different people who believe different things, but don't fret for me. I'm going to be fine. Obama is the one who has to deliver now. If you hadn't elected him, you wouldn't get the chance to see what he can do. I sincerely want to see Obama succeed now because I have no choice. God help us all.

First of all: congratulations to all my American friends here and in other places. I'm quite sure mr. Obama will try to be as good a president he can, and the people have spoken for a big change.
I have wondered a lot lately whom I would've voted if I were American. But all in all my choice is mr. Obama as well. In some ways he's too left for me, but what took me over is that he wants better healthcare for everyone, and topics like pro-choice. Not a big fan however from retreating the troops. I fear it will further Iraq into deeper trouble, and more threat from there to the West.

When I see all those celebrating people right now at CNN and the likes, it just warms my heart.Redd wrote on Nov 5^th, 2008 at 12:47am:

I can't even describe the feeling I had when the election was called last night. It was truly a moment in history.

When I graduated from high school, this man, who is now going to be our 44th president, could NOT have had lunch with me at Joe's Grill because of his color. For those who never witnessed segregation - you can't even begin to know how monentous this is. It goes back to what we were taught in grade school - no matter who you are - any kid can grow up to be President of the United States. I never believed that until last night.

I had a phone called shortly after the election was called (a wrong number) from a guy named Sonny. When he found out it was a wrong number, he said he didn't care, he just needed to talk to someone. We talked for about 20 minutes. He was yelling and crying and just talking. It was unreal.

McCain made a great speech and I admire him for it.

Now it's time we forget our differences and become the "United" States of America.

Hugs BD

Right on George. He has show class and dignity. Too bad he wasn't this way all through the process or it might have been closer.

I felt sad for this guy. Or at least the guy he was in 2000 - I can't tell who he is anymore as he's shifted a few times on me. I think he changed to line up with Bush to get the nomination and endorsments and in these times that is hard to ignore.

Bottom line is there was no way he was going to dig himself out of the historically deep hole GW Bush dug for him. And then the Palin thing. Ouch. He never had a chance.

I am hopefull that by him running and being so gracious that Obama WILL keep the promises Bush never kept about reaching across the isle. The USA needs to get over the "who is winning" deal and unite to fix the horrible mess the previous greed filled idiots left us in.

It is a step in the right direction for our Country. As he said in his speech last night, welcome to the era of "service and sacrafice". I'll reserve judgement until I see if that's voluntary or mandatory service and sacrafice. The journey continues.

From another thread:

Doesn't hurt to dream, does it?

BarbaraD wrote on Nov 5^th, 2008 at 7:04am:

Now it's time we forget our differences and become the "United" States of America.

One way differences were settled in the old days.

After service on the western frontier, Seminole Wars, and as Mexican War hero, "Old Rough and Ready" Zack Taylor was president and was highly noted for informal dress, never in proper uniform and continued the same dress as president as he had when commanding armies in the field.
The lands acquired from the Mexican War, California, New Mexico, and Utah (Deseret) were controversial in Congress, Texas wanted the land as far West as Santa Fe and sent a swashbuckling delegation to confront Old Zack with a threat of secession.

Accounts of the meeting of course can vary but despite friend and former son-in-law being Jefferson Davis until his daughter's young death, if there is a dream of a Ted Nugent type, here was one popular account from "Zack Taylor," American History Illustrated 5:

...when a group of southern Congressmen came to the White House and threatened secession unless they got their way on New Mexico and the fugitive slave law, he replied angrily that "if it becomes necessary I'll take command of the army myself and if you are taken in rebellion against the Union I will hang you will less reluctance than I hanged deserters and spies in Mexico."

I believe Santa Fe is in New Mexico now. Wink

I just finally got a chance to watch John Mccain's concession speech. In it he displayed the real John McCain, a man of honor, class, dignity, and love for this country. I hope our President-Elect will prove to be close to the servant for this country that John McCain has over the last 50 or so years. The real McCain disappeared over the last 12 months and that is a shame, but it was good to see him back last night. I hope he will be able to join our President elect and find ways to better this country that fly in the face of partisan politics.

Congrats to my President-elect. He and his campaign staff did everything they could to win this race and they were amazingly productive and effective. My hope is that he can be the same way in the Oval Office.

Finally, i hope this will be a time for all of us here to move away from the political antagonism that has caused such friction on the board. I respect everyone's opinions and I hope that we all can walk away respecting one another. In the end we all were showing passion for what we think was best for our great nation.

Thank you for your support, God Bless America and PF days ahead for you all.

Well Now!
I rarely voice this kind of an opinion, being a Viet Nam Veteran and having that connection with John McCain almost made me feel guilty about not supporting him in his bid for President
But you have to look beneath the surface at the facts!
Did we really need a Playboy who finished at the very bottom of his class in school, a Philanderer, who was notorious for chasing women and obtained a marriage license to wed his new wife, while still married to the first, covered up his new wife’s drug addiction and all the other documented problems with ethic's he has running our country?
Kind of looked like Nixon all over again! At least that’s my slant on it, everything is documented in fact if you just look for it! I saw enough to sway my vote! Hoping for the change that we have been promised! We all know its hollow without the support of the other branches of the legislature! Only words without ACTION AND ACCOUNTABILITY, Hopefully congress and the senate will cooperate with him and make the changes we need to stabilize this country! I believe its even documented in his book that he said,
"I don't want to change this country, I only want to be president"
John who is proud to be an American today!

President Elect Obama has the opportunity to be one of the greatest Presidents in American history. He has promised much. Now we'll see if he can deliver. I hope that all of the hype doesn't lead to disappointment to those that believe so strongly in him. Whether one voted for him or not, he will soon lead our country. I pray that he lives up to the expectations of those that put him where he is.

Whilst not claiming to know any thing about American politics, the general concensus at work to day was the better man won. I offer my congratulations to those who are happy with the outcome and hope the others will come around in time.

It is felt that he will be good for your country and be able to change the view that Europe/World has of America for the better., golly gosh he even has a passport and has used it, that has got to be a good thing.

I also want to wish him the best of luck, he cannot be worse than some and may be much better than many, but what ever happens this is a major event in Americas history and the world is watching it all, you all are at the centre of the universe at this moment so enjoy. Wink

Sometimes I think we all forget our recent history. I did find that clip very moving. I hope he will live up to their expectations. While I didn't think he was best person for the job, I do hope he proves me wrong.
