I Beleive He Will Lead us to a New America where in fact the problems of the today as in global warming which to me is the most important issue because the enviroment is something i truly feel for and the earth is not something i want to hurt. So I Hope He Will Fix this and his win should aslo help america in the views of racism if there are any more left today which if there are they are skin heads and Neo-Nazi's waiting for someone to come and help them
I feel that having a black president will bring a major change to the face of the USA. Ombama is a very articulate and inspiring african american, who is really going to do some very good things for our country.
I think its a historical moment for the world. I think its important that the leader of the free world be a minority.
The 2008 election of Barack Obama is phenominal! I never thought I would live to see this day. Obama has accomplished so much, and will definitely represent our country positively. I am proud of him and am glad to call him my new president.
I feel that Obama deserved to win he did attracted many people because of his views. He was able to show people that he was ready to take office in the White House. Mccain was not ready even though he had more experience than Obama he could not persuade the many race maybe because of Bush's decisions in the last 4 years.
I feel that Barack Obama has yet to arrive. His hard work has paid off for his campiagn, but the hard work is not over. His family is the ideal family for the White House. He is a phenomanal speakier and I think he will do wonders for te United States of America. He knows the danger he has to put his family and himself in everyday from now on, and I believe he has addressed that with them. He is a great man and [in my opinion] a better "prez".

I believe, as Mr. Obama has said before on several occasions it is time for change in America. Obama is a symbol of hope and guidance towards those willing to appreciate him. His eliquote words, and speaking skill, coupled with his above average intellect have shown many minorities that they can do something important in there lives. They can be somebody. They are not limited to the shackels of oppression and stereotypes brought down upon them by excentric human beings with wild ambiguous ambitions. That's how I feel anyway.
I feel that Obama will be an excellent president because he knows precisely how he wants to make a change to America, he has made hundreds of speeches which has caught eyes on millions of peoples attention.
I am very proud of Barack Hussain Obama! I actually feel like all the voting that went on was worth something.I knew this was important because i actually watched from 7:00pm until he made his speech around 12:00pm.I know this is a historical moment for not inly African Americans but the united States. I know he will change!!!!!GO Barack
I am very thankful that Obama won the election. I think he honestly will do his best to bring change to America and that he is the msot fit for the job.
A lot of America is still stuck in the past, and there are racist people in America today. Many people still think that white people are racist and I dont like to be fit into that category. So I am so glad that Obama won because it would be impossible for Obama to win if it were only African Americans voting for him. So I'm glad that people are starting to change, and that Obama has a chance to give people a different view on African Americans and that change will finally come to America!
BECAUSE ONCE YOU GO BLACK, YOU NEVER GO BACK !
I feel that it was a long time coming although noone can blame the white man anymore. Obama became president because he was the best for it. Not because of race. he gives hope and shows the american dream. Yes we can
I am very excited to have witnessed the election of the first black president of the United States. In my perspective, I believe that this man, Barack Obama, will bring about change in America. He is intelligent and tenacious to get our country back on track. He will inspire this country to do better.

i'm very qlad that barack obama is our new president.
[well he will be january 2o 2oo9)
he has made a chanqe in the black community and i believe that he may chanqe the way people stereotype people of color.
barack will show everyone just how smart people of color are [and he already has) and will show them what we're made of.
some people even believe he is the MESSiAH. <- SAY WHAT!
but hey...

I believe that everyone who voted for Barrack Obama made the right choice. H will help bring America back in thw world we will finally gain the power to be known and respected in world. we are going to be the subject in every conversation

i believe Barack Obama is a very smart y minorities hope that they can do any thing they put their mind to man i also feel he will make a huge change in the usa it will give man
Yes, Obama is a great man and i do believe he will bring change that this country needs to survive but i dont think he will change the idea of racism. Let's think, in the eyes of the caucasion as a whole we came from being inferior and that is the way we will always think. you cant change it or get rid of the thought. its embedded in your mind that this persson is a different race than me so they are better than me or worse than me. now, will he change the mind of different prejudices like between countries and genders beacause of how powerful his speek is.
I think this will change America as well as the entire world. This election will change how the world views and treats America. They should have more respect for us now that the Repulicans are out of office and now we got a black male in there now. It also gives us dreams again because as I see Barack or Mr. Obama in office, I think I can do anything now.
KENDRELL STANFORD
THIS IS A HISTORICAL MOMENT FOR ALL PEOPLE. THE FIRST BLACK MAN TO BECOME PRESIDENT; THAT IS A FEAT

I definitely believe he will lead the way to a better America. when he is sworn in January, America gets a fresh start, for he has changed the face of this country without even being official yet.He represents a new America. 'Joe the Plumber' is still an American view, but it's a shrinking one. Now we have soccer mom, surrogate parents, gay couple, immigrants from every corner of the world, making this new America truly diversified. Michelle Obama is revolutionizing the view of Black women as well. She stands for a sophisticated, intelligent, black woman who knows how to conduct herself in an comely manner. The old image was one of a loud, obnoxious, crude woman. That image is now being remade as the Obamas get closer to living in White House.
Well Obama is the first black president great for him, second he have the ability to influnce the world. There a people in the world that feel ,hey if he went through all of that to become president whats stoping me from becoming a leader in my class, in my school, or in my county. We need more leaders like him. I mean i dont agree with all he feels but that fact that there is change we let freedom ring.
I believe that Obama WILL MAKE A CHANGE.
It will change the face of the united states and it could possibly change the opinion of other peoples across the world. The issues that we have today such as global warming, falling economy, gas prices, loss of jobs, health care, and the war. Obama is a very articulate, smart man who also comes with a double package of being an AFRIKAN AMERICAN!!!!!!!!! Even though he will have to face the raciscim, and pressure that comes with the job, i'm excited that We have an african ameerican, something that many peiople never expected ould happen as our president
I'm glad he won so that America can go down a new path of reforms. George W. Bush has desicrated American values and nearly every aspect of American life from education to war to the economy to the environment and I wish Obama the best of luck in trying to diffuse and improve the situation that this country is in. He has managed to relate to Americans from all walks of life (excluding Neo-Nazi extremists) and is not only a beacon of hope for those of color, but also an intelligent, honorable man who did not play the "race card."

I'm estactic thath Barack Obama has won the presidency election. In my opinion with Obama is office racism will never deteriorate. Reasoning for that because more than 500 years ago slavery and racist events left a psychological damage to the world to this day. I believe he could help the economic system and not only bring hope to African Americans but he will bring hope to all people. His wife is a great symbol of success. Shes show that young black women can have high power also.

I feel that he will give the united states a new point of view. It gives other countries a different prosective on use. we shoud be connected with others you, so we can learn new things. show we care about others.It might stop war or not but it a good idea.
I think that having a black president of the US will help us all understand that he will be a great president no matter what race he is. I think this made America wake up and realize that an AAfrican American can run for president.
I believe that Barack Obama is a great leader for our county and that he will lead us to a better tomorrow. He knows all of the problems that the middle class are facing and not only the middle class but everyone as a whole are facing challenges daily. Not only that, but he is the first black president and is very professional and sets a great example for all.He is going to bring change to America and will help the views on racism to decrease. Mr. Barack Obama will make a better life in America for all.
JASMiNE JARRETT
i BELIEVE oBAMA HAS OPENED THE DOORS FOR ALL RACES. hE HAS HELPED AMERICA REGAIN TRUST FROM ALL OTHER COUNTRIES. AFTER AMERICA HAS DONE ALL THIS BAD IN THE WORLD HE HAS GIVEN US HOPE THAT JUST BECAUSE AMERICA HAS DONE ALL OF THESE THINGS IN THE PPAST IT DOESNT MEAN THAT WE ARENT NOT TRYING TO FIX THAT AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE NOW. i MEAN SERIOUSLY HE IS ONE SMART PERSON, AND HIS WIFE IS ALSO THE FIRST BLACK LADY.
I think that Barack Obama will make a great president. Although the United States is in a state of crises he will pull through and lead the United Staes. I think that he will help decrease the racisim. He will also help put black people on track and get their lives together. He has inspired me to do better in school and be more responsible.

I feel really good that Barack Obama actually became president of the United States of America. He will open the doors for trade around the world, and will help our economy. He is also a opening the door to all other races to become president also. Barack Obama is opening the doors for everyone, while making our economy better.
Camilo Machuca
Barack Obama made history the day of the election. I believed that he will lead america to greatness. He greatly influence the people to vote by his view of the economy and how to fix the debt we are in. The chinese were even happy that obama was president. thay even said that they would take out some of the debt. I believe that more countries are going to be willing to do business with america.

I believe Barack Obama has ran and made it to be the president .To make a change for the people that live in us and make it a better place to live in. We hope and trust that he will make a change for us.
I think that Obama will be a great leader for our country. I think that he will lead us to a better, and new and improve America. I know and understand that he has a lot of pressure, because many people are looking up at him, to make sure that he will change America. I hope that he will help everyone one with Health care. Like my grandmother who need to decide if she needs medicine or needs to pay her bills

I think that Obama will be a great president. I feel that he will do his best to accomplish and make change thoughout the United States and the World.
Nyende Vaughn
I am Extremely proud of Barack Obama. He really has made a difference in the US just by running. Will Racism go away? no its not. it will become less occuring. And he has brought hope to us Black children at least he did with me
Personally I'm scared for this change. I can only hope for the best. I don't think that the Republicans should have won and I did not support them but I do not support the ideas of Obama... I do hope that he does bring change but I won't believe it until I see it....
Having Barack Obama as the next U.S. president is very historic. Quite frankly, it doesn't matter whether or not he's black or white. As long as he does his job in the White House and leads the country to economic prosperity, he will be always be remembered as a great president.
I don't feel it should matter if Barack Obama Is muslim? It shouldn't matter. People are so caught up on his "melanin" even black people. Some just voted for him because he was black. Maybe if some of us took the opportunity to find background on candidates, and actually research why they want this person to be in this position we could actually come to some sort of compromise. Having Barack Obama as president will not only bring hope to every day working people, it will also bring hope to the teenager who is not quite old enough to vote, but is watching and understanding what is going on in the world
Obama being elected as president, is the start of a change. I think it changes the views and stereoptypes of the black community not only for other races but for blacks themselves. We are no longer the underdog and maybe this will cause african-americans to take more pride in what they do and to have higher expectations for themselves. Michelle Obama is the perfect example of a strong, african-american woman. She supports her husband as his equal- which is how it should be. She's like the Oprah of the white house! Lol In his speech he stated that he is not the change but he is the Chance to make the change. I can not wait to experience the new change Obama promises to bring forth.
First off...the slogan is Yes We CAN!! But on a serious note I do believe that Barack as president has changed America forever. Having a black president has only been a dream for many African Amercians but nobody saw it as a soon to be reality. It is really historic and even if a black man wasn't president the next term, Obama still created higher standards and young African Americans everywhere. I also do think hat having BLACK man in the WHITE House will bridge together races involuntarily. (They might even change the name to The House. or The President's House, before the year 2050 because it is no longer limited. I am very emotional about Obama being president becasue, even though I didn'nt get the chance to vote, I am still witnessing history in the making. I will be able to tell my kids and grandkids that I saw the first black president get into office.
Electing Barack Obama shows that America is ready for change. His campaign and platform was perfect and exactly what we needed to hear and happen. If if he was not black he is still the most qualified candidate and im very happy that America did the correct thing and voted him in. It was as if the Lord himself put his hands on this election because there were no significant problems with the polls, no riots, or fights; just a clear focused America, set on electing Barack Obama as President of the greatest nation in the world. We needed this and I am happen for this end result. I am also happy that black people now feel included in America and now participate in saying the pledge and have a sense of patriotism. I expect to see Barack Obama to do amazing and be one of the few candidates to actually do what he said and put America back on top. I believe that with this pick of President, America will quickly come back on top and the next decade or so will be a great time of rehabilitation and success for America. And eventually America will no longer see color, but see the well qualified candidate. OBAMA, YES WE DID. IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE.
p.s. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAMIEN!!!
Obama's victory was the people's victor . He, of course, changed the ideas of Black people and minorities and general. It raises the bar for the expectations of black people. He has now got to live up to his claims as black people have to live up to a new higher standard. African American women have always been portrayed as a people of excess and extreme- always in drama, oversexed, undersexed and/ or overly ignorant("Mammy"). They have to have their hands on their hips, shaking their fingers, rolling their eyes and their necks and snapping fingers with an attitude. Michelle Obama I feel can change that, but because of how the media portrays her, I can see it as her being called the "bitch" because of her strong views and ethics. Nonetheless, she is very powerful and inspirational to young african- american women or just women in general.
First off, it is YES WE CAN!! Not did..lol anyways. I am proud of Obama and his phenomenal feat, I am proud of Michelle being a strong African American woman supporting her husband, but most of all, I am proud of the American citizens. The fact that a Black man can become president is proof that America is changing for the better. Yes, he ran a strong campaign and persevered through common hatred. Also to see that he had the support of so many Caucasians was empowering to our race. The minority has risen..YES WE CAN!
Barack Obama is a name that will forever be signed into history, not only because he is half-black, but because he has promised our nation a totally new era of thinking. We used to see America as a place were things should stay the same, but now it is clear that over 60% of the nation believes in change in our economy, our lifestyle, and our overall thinking. This is election could not have came at a better time. I am 17 years old and this will affect me and my peers the most. My kids, grandkids, and great-grand kids will know that I lived just at a time where change was the most noticiable and needed.
I think that Obama and his wife are creating a better image for black people and America in general. His winning has shown America isn't as racist as everyone thinks. He has also set a precedent for future candidates.
IM EXCITED THAT BARACK OBAMA IS THE OUR NEW PRESIDENT!!
BECAUSE HE IS THE FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.THIS MIGHT CAUSE MORE AFICAN AMERICAN CITIZENS TO DO POSITIVE THINGS

I Believe Barack Obama will lead America into "Change" for the better direction than what it's in now.Just the thought of him being the first Black president is the greatest feeling ever.He won the election not just because he was black but because many wanted change and felt he was the best canidate to achieve it.SO as they say "YES WE WILL" & But so far for blacks "YES WE DID".
-OBAMA YALL!! =D

I think it is great Barack Obama became president, because he is a very intelligent person who is a role model to the black race and other races as well. I think Obama will bring together all the races and make schools and everything else in our economy better. I think Michelle Obama will do great as a first lady, and carries herself very nicely. Overall I am really happy Obama became president because we need change and I got to witness the United States first black president.
~Marcia Davis
Im very happy that Barack Obama is our new president. First of all he has made history. We will be telling our children and great grand children about this wonderful day in history. Second of all he has great ideas for this country. As we all know this country needs some serious help right about now, and I think Barack Obama will turn this country around. Not only did Barack get more votes than McCain, but he got the votes from every race. I hope this election will help the racism that has been around for a long time. I really hope and pray that things are gonna change.

I think that it is great that we have african amerian president.I also believe that Barack Obama will inspire all the little children o color.Black Power hahaha
I am extremely happy for Barack Obama. I really do believe that he will strengthen our country, but not only that, he will have an impact on other countries as well.\

I feel good that President Obama has made this winning accomplishment because we need change, and African Americans as a whole has fought and died for this cherishing moment. This election and outcome will definitely change America. As for Michelle Obama, she shows that African American women can present themselves in a respectable manner. As well as Barrock Obama, showing that anything is possible for African American males. This elections was the best, im proud that i followed up on it and i can say that i followed President Barrock Obama's campaign.
I think Barrack Obama and his wife will be a huge inspriation to everyone in the world. I say this because most people may think "Well if a black man who started with nothing can achive the highest postiton in the world. Then why can't i acheive my own dreams?" Since he first started Barrack has been a great inspiration to myself and any others because when he started his campaign he didn't use the race card as a crutch like most people (Jesse Jackson the castrater) he used his past as inspirtation and his past as a senator as stepping stairs to climb his way into the white house. This will change the voice of the average african american from "The white man's holdin me down won't let me get a job or start a bussiness!" His election will change the world in more than what we can see already.
Not many people can truly see the future but I pray that he can finally bring the world together.
May his life and term be filled with prosperity and peace.

History has been made. By gaining the role as the 44th president of the United States, Barack Obama has opened many doors and opportunites to African-American attaining roles in political parties. He has also shown children that it does not matter what family environment you were raised in or what color of skin you are, but if you truly set out to reach a goal you would achieve. Racism would always exist. Nothing is going to change that.
As First Lady, Michelle Obama should be an icon to every women. Women should not be looked down upon and are not subjected to man. One day there will be a female president. It's just a matter of time.
Im very proud of Barack and the American people. Seeing so many people that are caucasian (or not of color)at his ralleys supporting him, crying with him and completely ignoring the fact that he is of color just shows how far America has really come.

I think that this is a great accomplishment of his and that he will lead us into a new future. I dont think people will start to defer in racial thoughts until he proves to us that he will better Americca and have the country run smoothly. Michelle Obama is tall statuesque, and a soon to be role model for all young women, especially african american. But i think Obama will bing America's debt down and be a great president, but i can bet no republican will take him seriously until he proves himself.
yes we can and yes we did, now we have to see if HE can
Anabel Liyen Cartelle
Well what is done is done and I think that as long as Mr. Presidet(Obama) does all he can to help us in our difficult time now I'm happy and satysfied. I also believe that his accomplishment will encourage people of every race, religion, and status to strive to be who they want to be and not let anyone stop them.
On the subject of racism, I am hopeful that it will improve now that barriers and stereotypes that have been around for the longest time such as, the white man is the only one that can hold power, have been broken. It will also cause inspiration and encouragement to other minorities around the world. Overall I am content and happy of America's progress and am curious to see what this change will bring.
Barack Obama becoming President has removed a lot of excuses for not succeeding in the African American community and has shown us that there is no limit to what you can achieve in this world. Until now, there was an unspoken, unattainable level of success for African Americans.
In the corporate world, that unattainable level of success is called a "glass ceiling"...you can only go so far in a corporation while watching your Caucasian counterparts advance in their careers. The "glass" represents being able to see beyond what is behind it but not being able to break through it. The "glass" also represents being able to watch as others move upward while you are not able to follow because of your gender or race.
President-elect Obama has broken that ceiling for all of us. He has shown us that there are NO EXCUSES.
