For the first time since the idiot stole the Whitehouse

[maxpower]

I can say I am proud to be an American tonight. I was born after both Kennedy's, this must be how their supporter felt. As a fellow Illinoisan I am so proud of our party. Obama '08.

3. I was just thinking the same thing.

It's about time we can feel that pride again! I'm so glad these last 8 years are going to be over soon!

4. it has been a friggin' nightmare since bush was appointed

[sandnsea]

5. Yep. This is my America.

This is absolutely how I felt about the Kennedy's, even though I was just in grade school at the time. I haven't felt this hopeful since, not even when John Kerry was running and everybody knows how much I love that man. But Obama is going to change everything.

6. My feelings exactly! n/t

7. As a european

..I have had 7 years to laugh/be saddened at/by your president.

Somehow I think I will spend the next 8 being envious.

9. From your lips to god's ear

It has been a dark time for America. I quit my job to get a masters in elementary education, so I can hopefully teach children about what America was like before these children were born and the bastards stole the power from the people.

15. I think you're right

He is a principled outsider. I have seen what he has done for us here in Illinois, I have no doubt in his abilities.

8. They should turn McCain into a mop

He is going to mop the floor with him. Like was said earlier GoBama

10. I just posted something similar, I have such horrible associations with the election

music on MSNBC, this new positive replacement is very welcome!!

11. I'm exhilarated and exhausted at the same time...

It's been 7 1/2 years since the theft of the whitehouse and 18 months following this primary. It's been some rough times to be a democrat with some real disappointments and heartaches. I'm feeling proud and vindicated right now.

I think we may turn the page yet. What a great night to be a democrat!

[maxpower]

13. Amen

Finally after so much caving by the Dems it is about time that we take back the party. He owes Clinton nothing. The way she has run her campaign is a disgrace, and I have been defending Bill for 16 years. Let's speculate on VP's for a minute. Wes Clark anyone?

12. Naw, they were wonderful, but we hadn't been so desparately f*ed over by

a frikken IDIOT for 7 years!!

[ruby slippers]

14. well said....until the Republicans get ahold of it....

but, again, well said.....

[maxpower]

16. I fear you may be right

As Uncle Joe said "It is not who they vote for, but who counts the votes." I think you all know what I mean.
