We aren't beholden to any one party as a country and we are indeed not nearly as racist as the world , particularly snobby Europeans like to portray us lot. I hope this serves as shining example that any wo/man, regardless of their race or background can overcome any obstacle, even a wild name, and rise to such great heights! It is truly wonderful. I hope and pray for the best for Obama and his lovely family.Mmmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379020705220234984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-47527834012778013122008-11-06T23:36:00.000-04:002008-11-06T23:36:00.000-04:00For the first time in my life in my entire life I ...For the first time in my life in my entire life I am truly proud to be an American.

The comments on that blog regarding the "terror & dismay" that people are feeling is absolutely ridiculous and scary. I loved what you said and I am also filled to the brim with HOPE.

Jesse Jackson... quietly holding a finger to his lips..tears rolling down his cheeks...he looked almost unbelieving..... even Oprah was there with Stedman... .. and soooo many thousands of young hopefuls. What an amazing sight to see. Of course it won't change anything immediately...but perhaps even a small percentage of the so obviously divided populace will be a big thing for so many. A momentous day, not only in the U.S., but in the world...BumbleVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272892605379537233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-46435327093431217232008-11-05T11:00:00.000-04:002008-11-05T11:00:00.000-04:00Oh happy day!Oh happy day!Mary D in Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356024098033698785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-22819762302877773522008-11-05T10:01:00.000-04:002008-11-05T10:01:00.000-04:00"Tonight we proved once more that the true strengt..."Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope."<BR/><BR/><BR/>President-Elect, Barack Obama<BR/><BR/>I am bursting with American pride!!! :DTess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-61281189578800792932008-11-05T08:27:00.000-04:002008-11-05T08:27:00.000-04:00Susan, I was very happy and thrilled when I heard ...Susan, I was very happy and thrilled when I heard those words too.
