YES WE CAN!!!



He pulled through baby! Well he more than pulled through, it was a landslide victory! I can't believe it all happened so fast! I was washing dishes at 10:50, they said they would have updates at 11, so I sat down at 10:55, there was a black screen and then no sound, just a picture of Obama saying that he is the new President Elect. I literally jumped out of my seat, I was so excited! I made my housemates change the channel to see if the others had called it, and I was convinced when FOX said he won! I'm just so happy that this great man is going to be our President. He loves his family with his whole heart. (Also really excited to have kids in the White House again!). I've been following Obama since he was elected to the Senate four years ago. I was watching the results for the Bush/Kerry election and they randomly went to Chicago to show Obama winning a Senate seat. When I heard him speak, I knew he was going to be our next President.

The thing that is making me sad is to see the number of people, even after McCain's speech (which was great by the way, sounds so intelligent when he isn't listening to his campaign aids), that people are so upset as to make a facebook group called Impeach Obama. Hello! He hasn't even been sworn in yet, and people are talking of impeaching him. I was pretty bitter when bush won, but at least I was gracious in saying that I would live with him as President. Our country is not all the sudden turn socialist, Barack Obama is not a terrorist, despite his middle name, and the country is not going to fall apart with him in office. Hell, it didn't fall apart when Bush was President. Okay, a little (well there was the whole stock market stuff going on), but then why would you want someone with the same politics to be running the country? Did you really think Sarah Palin was competent enough to be V.P.? I didn't think so. I say celebrate that history has been made! Celebrate a change in office! Celebrate a man who truly loves his wife and kids! And stand behind the man even if you didn't vote for him. I stood behind Bush even though I did not vote for him. We've had to put up with 8 years of his politics, don't you think it's time for a change? Thank you Barack Obama! :) You rule! Joe Biden rocks as well, he'll be a great aid to Barack! Sad that Massachusetts will lose our Governor, even if he says he won't be a part of his cabinet. Right........!

I'm recommending to go and read all of Obama's speeches. He is a great speaker who knows how to motivate people and win an election!

Remember "BusHitler", "Impeach Bush", "Serial killer" etc? this is a result of the Left's fruits.

Yes I remember those names. I did not call him any of those names, and I took it well when Bush won the elections. I think to be so angry about a President is not American, that's the beauty of democracy, people voted and picked Obama, he was not appointed or from a lineage. He was elected fair and square. I also remember people standing behind Bush after September 11th, and remembering that people didn't want to impeach Bush before he even took office. Not the mention what it actually means to impeach. You can't impeach a President Elect.....he hasn't had his inauguration yet.
