Today is a historical day for the United States of America and also for the world. I went to bed last night wondering if we would wake up to a new direction in America or more of the same old same old? And was thrilled to find out that Barack Obama has become the first black President Elect in American history. Wow! What a positive message to minority ethnicities the world over :-) According to exit polls on the BBC news website, President Elect Obama won over the under 30s voters and first time voters in unprecedented numbers. His campaign has enthused so many people who hadn't felt that way about politics before. I hope President Elect Obama can live up to the enormous challenges he now faces, the American people have put their faith in him to sort out the current financial crisis (it was overwhelmingly the most important issue according to the exit polls). I also hope that the pressure of being daughters of the President of the United States of America doesn't unduly affect Malia and Natasha and that they enjoy their new puppy :-)

Well, a lot of people who don't live in this country might see Obama as a good thing, but for a lot of us who do, he scares the hell out of me! The man has exactly 143 DAYS of experience and he's spent a good portion of his life listening/interacting with radicals, and you get NO straight answers out of him. I just hope and pray he doesn't bring about the ruin of us all.
He is the best inspiration for the 21st century and the right choice for the world.
Cabbage queen,guess you didn't vote for hin,heh!!! Bet you a trillion dollars you;re wrong,the world needs a change and not the same rubbish from the far right,they've ruined the world!!!!!
Cabbage Queen methinks you need to have a little more trust in the guy! Some people are just born leaders!

Hi Cabbage Queen and big hugs,
I don't want to fall out over politics (or anything for that matter lol) but for many in Europe having a less bombastic and aggressive man in charge of America seems a great idea. Hopefully Obama will live up to all the hopes and dreams people have for him and be a great President for both America and internationally.
Lots of love

Sorry I can't agree with any of you... The man is an empty suit who talks a diffent story to everyone he speaks too. His policies will push us farther and farther from the doctrines of our founding fathers. Don't mean to be rude but he's an empty balloon as far as I'm concerned. Some people might be born leaders, but he's not one of them and I certainly wouldn't follow him anywhere..
Hi Cabbage Queen,
I think we'll have to agree to disagree :-)
Lots of love
