A new day.

I'm a Canadian...but none the less...Cheers to a new Era for the United States of America. I was glued to the tube watching all the updates, love that Katie Couric (spelling?). What an exciting time for EVERYONE....I could feel his energy, and it was a great acceptance speech.
Well done!

WOO HOO! I can't wait until Jan 20. I'm really hopeful.

Wonderful, wonderful results! :D

YAY!!!! Congratulations on your new president!!! I'm so happy!

I agree, what a night, hoping Merkley pulls it out by morning. I was in Clark County, WA celebrating with the Democrat's there. Oh what an amazing feeling to be with everyone in celebration.

I like listening to him talk, he's a great orator, although I always find with the American politicians that they use alot of words (rhetoric) but don't actually say anything?! It sounds great but what does it mean?

Can't help but think this isn't just going to mean a new America but brings hope to us here in the UK too!! Bring on the new - loving this whole "YES WE CAN" thing!! His speech inspired me as a person - as a Single Mother who most of the time struggles - I needed to hear it I think lol Roll on January 20th!!

I am an Australian and for the first time (at age 43) I took a real interest in the USA elections ... what an inspiring man!

As a South African, I remember our own memorable elections.
We have been following your elections closely. It has been wonderful to see you embrace chance like this.
Congratulations!

I have never been so terrified of anything in my life, as I am of Obama. As the mother of two daughters in the Navy, I've had enough of a commander in chief without any actual battle field experience. And I recall the way John Kennedy left troops to die on the shores during the bay of pigs, and how it is John Kennedy who embroiled us in Viet Nam. Senator Obama voted for Partial birth abortions, that is all I need to know. Change for the sake of change isn't necessarily a good thing. I hope with all my heart, I'm not able to say for the next four years...told you so.

Happy belated birthday Ali! I guess Obama's victory was one of the best presents you could get yesterday? I'm truly happy for all Americans and the rest of us on this earth - I'm glad to be around on this historic day!
Joyful best wishes from Sweden!

I'm from New Zealand, where we have our own elections this coming weekend. If only NZ was as lucky to have an inspirational leader like Barack Obama. Congratulations on your new President - I'm sure he will do well!
... and how exciting that you got to meet him! :-)

I was deeply touched with president Obama's speech. Was a bit teary eyed & felt goosebumps all over me while he was talking. I am not from the U.S. But I follow the happenings there every now & then. I do hope this new beginning will all bring us a better future. The U.S. has a big influence in our country (Philippines) and with your new president I believe & join the millions of people in saying "Yes we can!"

Best night ever! We need this.

yes.good morning america.good morning world.
as a french girl, I'm proud that you guys voted for a change :)
this is good, my friend. this is good.
:)

Happy birthday Ali and congratulations on your new President!

Yes we can!

Barak had 75% support in Australia a few days ago. Everyone has been watching with great excitment today. We still can't get over the result from 4years ago (and please don't mention 2000). i hope he is able to put into plan all the hopes of the world - no pressure. Congratulations, a truly historic day for both the US and the rest of us out here.

Happy Birthday Ali!
It will be amazing to see what your new president brings to your country - and how that impacts the rest of the world.

FANTASTIC picture with your son holding the flag.
Really outstanding !
And the picture with Obama is a true keepsake too.
