History has been made.
The United States of America has rejected the folly of the last 8 years.
We have chosen a man, clearly outside the mainstream, yet somehow so utterly prepared, as if he were born to accept this as his destiny, to be our next commander-in-chief.
President-Elect Obama, may you and your family stay safe.
Please take our trust and do your best with it. We are looking to you for leadership.
I am proud of my country. We have spoken, in a unified voice to the world.
Yes, world, we are with you, we saw the need for change.
It embarrassed, angered, and frustrated us to see our country, our honor, and our reputation become so decimated and tarnished.
So we did something about it.
We have spoken. Clearly. Let there be no question.
We, the United States of America, are back, world.
We did it, and we are back.
Godspeed, Mr. Obama.

there are very few days when one gets up with good news. This is one to remember.
Yes We Did!! I still have not stopped crying! Happy days are here again!!!
I missed being in America celebrating with friends and family this historical moment-it's so exciting and yet a little incredible to think that it took 223 years to elect a person of color and we've yet to elect a woman.
Like you, I wasn't a fervant Obama supporter until the DNC. He's continued to impress me also with his intellect, patience and his ability to inspire others-it's so exactly what we need right now. Can you imagine how good it will be to hear him speak for the next 4years, hopefully 8, instead of the idiot we've had...
I've passed on your blog to all my friends...
