Barack Obama has become the 44th President of the United States.

Yay Obama won!

Props on America for voting for the right candidate.
Although, I don't think America is the most powerful nation in the history of the world. Surely Rome had America beat. Hell, even Britain had a larger empire at one point...

I wrote this in a forum post last night.

I voted for Obama and I feel proud of our united states. I'm one of the coveted independent votes and I chose.
 
I'm old enough to remember watching, with my family, the Roots saga, I was 12. I was born on the same day as Martin Luther King Jr. and knew the understanding of that when I watched the mini-series. In the words of Yoda, "Angry I was.", my mom sent me out of the room many times because of my outrage toward the treatment of other human beings.
 
My neighbors were treated differently because of their color, I saw them as neighbors and friends. I was ignorant, I was white and I lived in the south, I would never know how it felt. I feel proud of my country for it truly is, a country of opportunity.

We are all human beings living on a gift that we call earth. Let's treat it that way.

"Dude. It's true. O_o"

And if he were Muslim, why would that matter?

So the republicans say he went to a "preacher of hate" revren wright (whos is a christian) then they turn around and contradict themselves saying hes a muslim. MAKE UP YOUR MIND if you are going to make a lie dont contradict yourself.

who cares about how much land you have, America is ideals in motion, Standard of living above both Rome and England"

The interesting thing is that about 43% of the registered voters of the nation didn't bother to vote.  It makes you wonder how important the election really was since so many people didn't care to put their two bits in.  In my city, the number of registered voters that didn't vote was even higher than the national number.

I'm glad that Barack Obama won.

I wonder if the cubs will finally win!!!
