Congratulations Barack Obama!

[carole]

Congratulations America,all obama supporters ,what a wonderful day in history this will be, i think only good can come from it and i for one was pleased to see Mr Obama elected, however i have to wait and see if he will be as forthcoming with the fair trade deal we had proposed with the US, McCain was our best bet there, he was 100 per cent for it, so i hope Barrack does not let us down here.

I was so sad that his grandmother did not live just one more day to see her grandson elected, how very sad,but i am sure if she is in heaven,she is smiling down upon him and letting her presence be known.

I did not see Mccain speech ,but i heard it was great too,I can well understand how the voters who voted for him will be feeling today and my empathy goes out to them, we have our big election for government this saturday, and i will be gutted if our present government does not get re-elected,this election in the US could well have an effect on our voters, they may decide after all it is time for a change down under as well,I am hoping not.

Anyhow hope you all have a good day.

I personally am very excited! His speech was amazing!

I don't recall where I heard it - but that McCain and the Democrats each have a history of working 'across the floor' to unite in helping their country.

I hope this results in a total powerhouse team for the USA!

I am happy to see Obama win honestly. I hope though that we get 4 years of action and change instead of four years of failed promises and things "just not working out"

I was impressed by McCains speech, very eloquent and well thought out. Bravo to him (and his speech writer )
