I haven't stopped crying. I'm no where near old enough to have experienced true segregation and racism, though I've have a few encounters with asshole bigots, but even I in my 27 years understand the significance of this day. My mom grew up in Memphis during Jim Crow and experienced the desegregation of schools, she was 14 when Dr. King was shot. My grandmother on my father's side will be 84 on the 12th of this month and she, along with my 76 year old grandfather on my mother's side, lived to see this day.

And this is so much more than just a race issue, I truly believe that this man can bring about the change we've been needing. His stance on the issues did not change from the time he announced his campaign to now. This is the people's president and not just another crony of an old regime. Look at the crowd in Grant Park. That is what America looks like. Diverse. This is the America I believed could happen, people of a variety of races, ethnicities, backgrounds, ages, sexual orientations, all standing together celebrating the same thing...I don't know how I'll get to sleep.

*HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUG*

shit, you made me cry all over again. Mr. Roxy and I watched his speech and cried, I called the kids, my cousins...girl, every time I stop and take a breath, I can't believe it all over.

He is a president for everyone--he's intelligent, articulate, and no doubt will surround himself with folks the same.

This is one of the most beautiful moments in my life. Ranking right up there with witnessing the births of my two nieces, and my wedding. :)

We are all truly blessed for being able to see this happen, to bear witness to this great point not only in American history but in the history of the entire WORLD.

It's been a long day coming, that's for sure! Now it's time for us to show the world we mean it when we say change. :)

Congratulations all. I'm Canadian and like an overwhelming number of my friends and colleagues, have been hoping for an Obama victory. I really believe he can bring back the international reputation of the US and will work to make the world a better place. And such an inspiritational man! When CNN declared his victory at 11 o'clock, I started screaming at the TV and really teared up.

Thanks so much! Here's for hope, and postive change coming!

We rocked the Presidential vote, anyway. There are still some propositions I'm worried about....

*nods* The news doesn't sound good...

A note from a Canadian

Good job America.

As Jon Stewart said tonight, the U.S. has finally become a "show" country instead of a "tell" country. Freedom, liberty, opportunity... all those things America stopped standing for over the last eight years, and all those things that were given lip service for so long... You've done an amazing thing tonight as a country, and you should all be proud to be Americans.

FUCK YES.
*twirls you around and around and around*

Very well put but then you've always been good with words. lol

[touchstoneaf.livejournal.com]

i am just so totally still in shock. i don't think i've stopped crying since my first text came through.

this is one of those things where someday it'll be, "where were you the day Barack Obama was voted President?"

just...wow. wow, America. FINALLY!

It's a fine mother fucking day.

I couldn't sum it up better because I don't have any words. I'm beyond words. It's......incredible!

And I think about how my mom, being a child visiting family in Texas and having to sit in a segregated section of the train---it's astounding that America has come to this place in time.

[opusnone.livejournal.com]

absolutely, positively incredible and from here forwards something no longer unbelievable!!! cannot stop smiling.
