I am happy to see a minority can be president so for that it was a good day. Unfortunately I do not agree with most of Obama's policies or ideas for change so it is not a happy day for me in that sense. I do believe there will be change, it is just a matter of whether it will be good or not that remains to be seen.

It is still politics when it's all said and done... however superficial as i may sound the fact that he is a "man of color" I believe will help international relations...his father's name is Hussein and was Muslim, however he is not I think even though he is not ARab or muslim it will still help foreign relations. But like I said at the beginning it is still Politics

stupid i know but one less thing to overcome. (strange how just a couple of generations ago the other way would've mattered more).

I was watching Al-Jazeera (arabic) and they seem to like him a lot. I found it funny to see they put up one of those big screens with the US map and they color coded the states like the US news agencies do, but theirs had arabic words on it. Ironic that a middle eastern news agency was reporting this election just as much as the American agencies were, lol.

My husband is in Spain him and his room mates were huddled around a tv..none of them have ties (except my husband) to the U.S. but it means alot to alot of people

I didn't see those pics as my father lives with me and he is so upset that he turned the tv off, lol. I must sneak the tv on from my bedroom so I can catch some more coverage now! I may not have liked the outcome but that doesn't mean I don't want to see what is happening and stay up to date. This is a historical day! I had to listen to Obama's speech in arabic on aljazeera so my father wouldn't get annoyed by hearing it, lol. He can't understand the arabic so it doesn't bother him.

sorry...meant to actually reply to this thread i would hope that anyone married to an arab (especially in Iraq), would want a president that actually wants to withdraw sooner than 100 yrs from now, and unite this world, rather than keep us divided, actually start talking and discussing our differences rather than start wars...sorry, JMHO..didn't mean to stir up things. can't understand how anyone that's married to an arab would want to continue these policies..

Hey SandS; im sorry u dont like the outcome but i just wanted to say something the coverage was not only on Al-jazira...it was on every arabic news channel..... and on political shows on normal channels! Thats the norm every time there is elections; so nothing new there

It is our time now, my family worked so hard for Obama, my daughter went door to door on Saturday and Sunday, my mom was at the headquarters last night to see the election. When I heard that Obama won the election I was so happy, if you are in the top 5% of the wealthy, than it is time to stop the greed, it is time for the working people to run the country. History was made last night.

AMEN!!! AMEN!!!! Ganja Girl! I am Soooo happy and overwhelmed with emotion right now. I am sorry for those who think that OBAMA will fail. WE WILL CHANGE. I don't normally post for anything political on this site because I see and read all of the negativity on here. But I AM from Chicago and I LIVE a few blocks from PRESIDENT OBAMA'S home, so I will say we are very happy and can't wait for JANUARY 20th. I know I will be in Washington D.C. Someone made a very racist comment some time ago to the effect of no "Kool Aid" in the White House..... Well Sorry For YA! Make mine Strawberry.
