I never thought an US election would keep me up till 4am, but hell it was well worth it.
Congratulations America on the best elections yet. Hope us Brits can get someone decent over here sometime soon.
Hope he brings real change, not just inside the US but beyond it.

- This again reminds me to not come into these threads despite the fact Obama has won.********
- This is a "story" and did not happen. It's needless bullshit and is a grandiose attempt at pulling at heart strings.********

I too feel proud.
I went with my wife yesterday and we queued to park, then stood in a line with hundreds of others. As is the way here in the midwest, folks was real polite, y'all, and there was no tutting or pushing or cutting-in as there might be elsewhere, in different lines, at different times.
It felt then that this was an historic moment, the country felt like one place, one people, like it hadn't ever felt to me before, but that I'd always known it could. America is such a vast and multi-layered and complicated place to live it takes all everybody's got, everyday, just to make your way, and only very briefly - on holidays, on big nights out, do we have the opportunity to look up from our grind and see each other. To stop the noise and take stock of the hugely improbable success to which we all contribute. Yesterday that feeling ran through the small city where I have settled. Where I walked my daughter to school past the yard signs and foreclosed empty houses, where smartly-dressed old folks talked, smiling with construction workers and wide-eyed kids as they shuffled toward the desk to collect their ballott papers..
That Obama has won a resounding victory is great, but what that victory celebrates is something more fundamental - for the first time since I arrived on these shores with $10 in my pocket and half a bag of worn-out clothes I really felt that I as one of the many, was indeed now part of the one. And it's awesome.- that's lovely. i'm happy that you got to experience this feeling.paraselene
- yay. It really seems to be an Ich Bin Ein Berliner moment for people round the world toomikotondria3
