@Missy, Well done Chicago . As Republicans and Democrats were both agreeing last night on the TV…. This was a movement for change and belief in change, not a presidential race for Barack Obama. The best thing Barack will do is to give people the gumption to get off their arses and actually go and do something in their local community at very least.

@Dunc, I think you will agree that this is the first US election that has meant so much outside of the US during our lifetimes. When I heard Barack’s speech of acceptance I truely believed the world could change…. That is a power I have not felt in a long long time.

I still can’t believe that the US has a president called Barack…… Makes me smile

I felt one of the greatest rushes when the results were announced yesterday. One which I would like to say and believe was equal to any rush felt by any black American. For me the rush was about democracy occuring to the max. About the human race, regardless of colour, as a whole, moving forward another step. Together.

It’s important to not get carried away with what yesterday meant in terms of solving ‘the earth’, but it is equally important to carry the belief that it will make a difference way on into the next decade. And the one after.

A truly momentous occasion and one I will never forget.

This was an emotional election. Something we have NEVER had. It was so much more than a Presidential Election, it meant alot to alot of people.

I’m not political but i did keep an eye on this one, well it was pretty hard not to. Unless you lived under a rock. LoL. It was supremely cool to witness Barack win and as i’m from Chicago, it also felt like a victory for my fab home city.

Awesomeness through and through.
