Personally, this is a truly monumental occasion. In one day, the United States has regained it's respect to international onlookers and given themselves a direction to follow and a goal to work for. It's not only that he's black - or that he's young - it's that he's believable, he's calm and collected and he speaks to me. He's Presidential.

Congratulations to the USA.

Well said Seanchai..

Thank you, man! We did it!! :)

I couldn't get down to actually hear the speech in person... but it was good, not really great in my opinion, but very good.

I spent the last few days worrying we'd see another too close to call due to the way the states are laid out, I'm so relieved it's gone so strongly our way.

I may not be thrilled with the local government efforts, but I'd hardly blame Obama for that.

So, yay!... go Obama... celebrate your heart out, for tomorrow the work REALLY starts...

NEITHER !

You need 60% of the vote for either.

We shall control the congress in 2010.

338 electoral votes of 537 is 63% so it's a mandate and a landslide! And we control the congress this year. YAY!
:D

Thumbs up, my friends. :D
