[rationalcalgarian]

1. So glad to be here seeing this

America, thank you! I've been watching the returns all night!

The world will be breathing a little easier tomorrow.
The weight not so heavy.
The sun will be a little brighter.
The cold November wind not so harsh.
The smiles to strangers that much more sincere.
Congratulations America.

Congratulations, Mr. Obama.

Mr. President.

Wow.

[roguevalley]

18. We love you back.

[althecat]

20. That's really lovely.....

Wow.

[Arugula Latte]

2. To our friends around the world -- It's so nice to be back amongst the civilized nations!

We missed you!

We're so sorry we allowed our country to be taken over by madman.

It's a World Party now! :toast:

[rationalcalgarian]

[Arugula Latte]

[bdamomma]

7. yes, for real it's great to among the living again.

[althecat]

22. And we missed you too....

Its been far too long.

I have been kinda weary of even coming over there since the war on terror, rendition, torture and the iivisa.

We need you.

[Arugula Latte]

27. Yay! Come see us!

:toast:

[althecat]

37. I think I missed the fullbright travel applications..

Bound to be another round coming up. I thought I might come over and visit some election protection groups.

There are plenty of them now :)

[Clio the Leo]

4. "but I know...... a change gonna come......"

[AspenRose]

6. Thank you New Zealand

What about the elections for you guys?

[althecat]

26. Yes we vote on Saturday (your friday)

I expect that Obama's victory should benefit the Labour Party - present Government - on balance. Public opinion has been moving in their favour as the credit crunch deepens.

Thanks for asking!

[ellie]

8. I think it is very cool

that the world is interested in our elections! GOBAMA!

[althecat]

29. Very interested... it has been eclipsing ours in our own media....

And ours is on saturday.

[althecat]

31. Now the work starts to fix the system for the 2010 midterms....

Action is going to be needed fast IMHO.

And I reckon that the GA and MN senate races deserve a closer look.

:)

40. Kyle Hence just sent me this email.... "I Hope This Works"

sums up some of my feelings very well......

*********

When Obama put his vote through the machine in Chicago he said, "I hope
this works."

Well, looks what's happening! It worked. Congrats to all of you who
fought so hard to stop another election from being stolen.

Thank you.

Now the truly great work must begin in earnest and in faith that it will
make all the difference in the world. Because it will.

Kyle
