Not surprised, nor happy...

Same. I will support him as president, but I can't say that I'm happy about this outcome.

I agree. Obama is our president now, but he wasn't my choice.

I am thrilled and excited that Barack Obama has won! When my 18 month old pointed to Mr. Obama on the TV this morning I was proud to tell him that was our new president.

Personally I didn't vote for either Obama or McCain.

I figured last night when they said Obama won Ohio that he had won the election.

I'm just soooo glad it's finally over

As an outsider looking in, and not really knowing too much about American politics, it is what the majority of you wanted, and i can only hope that is the right choice,personally i think only good can come from this, being optimistic,and hoping for some great things from Obama.,but only time will tell.
