Barack Hussein Obama

[Genevieve]

President Barack Hussein Obama.

I am so happy right now, and I will be so proud when you are my President.
I can't wait!

[Genevieve]

1. And, (talking to myself)

I am crying -- tears of joy.

[grassfed]

4. I have no words

[Genevieve]

6. That picture just made me cry more.

25. I remember- I remember it well, SeattleGirl!

How could we forget?

This photo says it all.

We've come a loooong way, baby!

:pals: :D

Aw- shoot- I'm crying- happy tears,

[SeattleGirl]

26. I know!

I remember the days of White's Only and Colored Only signs, among many other ugly things. I almost can't wrap my mind around what's happening right now!

[Kajsa]

29. It's taking a while to sink in, isn't it?

I remember those signs, too.

We'll just keep seeing Obama,our guy,
our Democratic nominee
and it will hit!

:pals:

[Mme. Defarge]

21. WE HAVE OVERCOME!!!

2. I can't believe this ... I really never, EVER thought this would be the outcome

I dreamed, I hoped, I prayed but now ... it's HAPPENING!

CHANGE IS COMING, PEOPLE!!!!!!

[Blarch]

3. Change is here.

[LSparkle]

5. Oh man, that brought TEARS to my eyes! You're right --

change HAS already happened ... Can't WAIT to see the newspapers ALL OVER THE
WORLD tomorrow. Our stock as a nation has just gone up by simply nominating
this extraordinary man.

Now all we have to do is get a VP candidate who's not ... her.

[Genevieve]

8. "Now all we have to do is get a VP candidate who's not

... her."

I hear you.

[LSparkle]

9. All this excitement, all this hope ... only to be snuffed out by

Hillary Debbie Downer Clinton.

NOT THIS TIME!

[snappyturtle]

22. You betcha our stock as a country will go up! And I agree with

the not......her part.

[msallied]

24. I'm with you. I am so with you.

I haven't felt so much hope for our nation in... well, ever, really. I'm only 28, so I haven't lived long enough to see unsullied American triumph, but seeing the first African-American President in the prime of my life is more than I could have ever hoped for.

[Genevieve]

12. I was trying to explain to two of my adult children tonight

just how historic this is in so many ways. They have never known an election without a Bush or a Clinton involved. They have not grown up with racism (at least not around me), so they don't know how remarkable it is that we will have a biracial president.

I shied away from being the didactic mom, but I did tell them in no uncertain terms:

Politics and U.S. history are about to get very interesting! :party:

[Genevieve]

13. OMG, I just got off the phone and was just explaining the very same thing to

my adult child.

:pals:

[slinkerwink]

14. my mom's excited as well.

[janx]

30. I don't doubt it, Slink.

And she must be a hard working and intelligent mom to have raised a young woman like you!

[slinkerwink]

36. Oh, yes, she is!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's the best mom in the whole world! :-)

[Genevieve]

34. Here --

For you and your mom.

28. I had a big conversation about this very thing with my 27 year old daughter

a couple of weeks ago, when the t-shirt with Obama and Curious George on it. She said she kind of knew what the t-shirt meant, but not really, so I told her about how truly ugly things were when I was growing up.

In a way, I'm glad I had to explain it to her, because that means that that kind of ugliness is not something she sees like I did.

[Phx_Dem]

17. Agreed!

I am extremely proud that the Democratic party of America has finally nominated a black man to be the next president of the United States. President Barack Hussein Obama. Sounds damn good to me.

[kenny blankenship]

19. I cannot wait to hear that echoing off the West steps of the Capitol

I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States...

Hearts will soar -and some heads will explode!

[Genevieve]

27. Me either! ;<)) nt

[Reeta77]

37. I just started crying...

Tears of joy, relief, and hope. This is amazing and almost overwhelming.

[TexasLady]

20. Damn Right! GIVE ME MY COUNTRY BACK!

Im proud, but wanna be even MORE proud!

[redstate_democrat]

23. I have a dream

[TeamsterDem]

31. I've only shed tears once today, but his speech is yet to come

so I'm sure there will be more. I SO look forward to his presidency.
