A new day.

yes we can.
yes we can.
i am so ready to work.
and i really hope the Obama Administration continues to send daily emails.

Woot! Woot!
I am besides myself.
I now know that the sky is indeed the limit for girls. No longer do I have a doubt that we can not achieve anything we want as a minority. YES WE CAN! His speech moved my and change is coming. Thank you for posting this wonderful news, lots of people like to keep quite about this, so THANK YOU!

Congratulations on your new president. I'm Dutch and I think most Dutch people are pleased to see this change.

We are so blessed. Here is to hope, change and President Obama.

Belated Happy Birthday Ali! I hope your birthday was a wonderful day for all of you!

January can't come soon enough! So relieved and so excited!

Ali, we will always disagree on politics . . . I am a conservative. This is the question I have . . . Obama is not for the right of the unborn child. Everyone stands up for the rights of the women, but who stands up for that baby. We have just set our country back years . . .I just pray that God has mercy. I don't believe he is the great hope, no man is.

Congratulations on your new president! YAY! :o) I am so happy for all you Americans. I am from Germany and spent the night in front of the TV here. I had goosebumps and tears in my eyes when President Obama delivered his acceptance speech. This is so right. I so hoped you'd elect him for your new president and this change will affect us here in Europe as well. I lived two years in your beautiful country and the United States and her people are dear to my heart. I am beyond glad you finally got rid of Bush. Really looking forward to Obama's presidency. Great job, America! :o)
Oh and by the way Ali: I LOVE your blog! Thank you so much! ;o)

Yep, end of an era allright!
End to Capitalism
End to freedom
End to talk radio
End to Strong national defense
End to the best Military in the world
End to me visiting your web site. I thought this was a Scrapbooking site, silly me...

Yes we can!!
And I so believe it right now!

Thank you America!
I had my doubts that you would have the courage to vote bravely, but you did!
I'm in the UK and stayed up till 5:30am to hear the results & speeches! It was spine-tingling stuff - what a moment in history to witness. President Obama is an inspirational guy - it was very moving hearing his speech. John McCain also was gracious in his defeat, and he comes across as a decent man.
I still can't believe that in the year 2008, race is still an issue, and reading some of the negative comments from some Americans about Obama makes me worry - are people really that paranoid?
However, I'm so glad you made the right decision for all of us - YES WE CAN!!

yes... a new day!!!!
YEAH!!!
that's a great picture of Simon with the flag and you with oboma!!

Happy Belated Birthday Ali. While I don't celebrate Obama's victory I won't put you down for doing so. Everyone has their own opinion. I however don't believe he will change all that much. I believe that he was voted in because Americans want an easy way out and there is no easy way out of the mess we have gotten ourselves into to. It's going to take a lot more than 4 years to get out of that. Anyone can speak well when someone else is writing for them and sound good to the public. I'm praying for my country right now, we're going to need more than Obama for a change that's for sure. I feel sorry for those who bought into his beliefs and his true colors are going to come out soon enough.

Belated Happy Birthday Ali.
Yep, yesterday was a great day :)

All I can keep saying is wow isn't this AWESOME!! Yesterday was my first time voting I was on a high all day stayed up till the wee hours in the morn and was sure glad I did. His speech was the best and I so can't wait to see what kind of puppy they will be house training in the White HOuse I think that is so cool!He is an amazing man I can't wait to see what he does as President.
YES WE CAN! A New Day and CHANGE has come to this great nation.

Ali I love your blog. I'll still read it, even with the politics, because it is a part of your life. Your ideas about recording our lives are wonderful. I'm glad you had a wonderful birthday.
Yesterday, well It wasn't so great for me.
I'm worried, not excited.
There was more to write but this really isn't the place.

I am so sad for this country today. While I am glad that a new demographic is represented in the presidency, I am scared for everything he believes in.
I pray for the safety of the unborn and their souls. All life is sacred, and I pray for those babies that don't have anyone standing up for them. Give a voice to those without a voice! They deserve a chance at life too!
And I hope that he doesn't do everything he says - I work for a small business in the oilfield, and if the taxes go up, I fear for my job. Our town is heavily oil industry, so it may be the worst thing we've ever had to endure. At this point, I feel I need to take care of my debts as fast and as soon as I can so that if I lose my job, we may be ok. IF YOU WORK FOR A SUCCESSFUL SMALL BUSINESS, GET YOUR FINANCES STRAIGHT, BECAUSE YOUR JOB MAY BE ON THE LINE SOON.
IT TOOK A CARTER TO GET A REAGAN. Just keep that in mind...
And thank God they didn't get to 60 in the Senate. Any party having an unchecked power is dangerous. I wouldn't want it for the Republicans, and I didn't want it for the Democrats. Everyone needs to hear a dissenting opinion.
God bless everyone, and good luck.

What a great election present for you Ali.
I hope the Obama supporters will be pleased with how they voted and that he will make a change for the good.

It is a VERY EXCITING day! I couldn't agree more...I think I even feel different :)

Yes we can! and what a wonderful way to celebrate your birthday! This is the reason that I come to your site day after day, Ali. You speak your truth and aren't afraid of who that might offend. Shame on those that would presume to dismiss that right that living in this great country of ours affords you and each and every one of us!
Oh Happy Day!
