    Can I get a w00t here?

    ...For President Elect Barack Obama?

    w00t!

    ...and can I get a w00t! for the people who elected him?

    w00t!

    I wanted it so much, but I never quite dared to believe; I don't so much feel elation right now as relief. I feel better about the world today than I did yesterday, but that's not to say that I'm exuberant. The world still faces great challenges, and a leadership change in the world's most powerful nation doesn't alter that fact....but it's still good.

    And while I'm here, can I get a to Senator John McCain, a great American who has served his country with undoubted heroism and who has conducted himself in this campaign with great dignity, exemplified tonight in his concession speech. I salute you sir.

    Watched his speach and felt a tinge of genuine hope for better things - lets just see if he can follow it up and not get shot in the process (damn my cynicism) !

    Well done to Obama, I've gotta say that it surprised me, what with all racism in America. Unfortunately, I agree completely with colossous, I reckon some anti-common sense idiot will try to do him in. He strikes me as a rather competent bloke though, good luck to him!

    Well said Rave.

    If only some of McCain's supporters shared even an ounce of his dignity and magnanimousity.

    Was rather pleasantly surprised myself at that, he made the Democrats look like sore losers for the past couple of elections.

    a w00t for Obama!

    I think american's knew that they need this change, glad they realise it's 2008. Race should have nothing to with who is the better man for the job. Everyone is watching america now.

    It is good to see that America has finally done away with the OAP's and got someone in who will not be senile before the end of their Presidency.
