    This is an historical day!! Today is the beginning of the change of times, and I am extremely happy that we have a Democratic President back in Office!! We need to give him a chance, and embrace his courage to even want this honor in such bad times of our Country...it is time to stop thinking with small minds, and start working together as one!!! We as a country can do this!!!!!!

    It's truly a shame that peopel like secora will complain to any idiot that will listen that the media won the elction for Obama. Truth is McCain had no real chance with a down economy, wars on two fronts, and uncertainty everwhere. It is time for new direction in this country and prayerfully Mr. Obama (god jr. as you so cynically called him) will make decisions that will convnce even you that he is genuine and intends to do what is best for this country. I'm sure he'll make mistakes which will only prove that he is not god jr. Complainers always find it easy to question the decsions made by leaders (and the voters too) Such is America and this great land that we live in, (you have that priviledge)

    Give Obama a chance. Look at what George Bush has done for us. I hope and pray for Obama because with the current conditions we are in he is going to need a lot of prayer, wisdom, guidance and wisdom to lead this great country we call America.
