Oh and nice way to spend so much money on YOU coming in when our economy is hurting pretty poorly with two wars right now.
Seriously Obama is being treated like the second coming of JFK. The left is so childish its funny. Try to act like adults and brace for an economic crisis, not go out and celebrate that a black/asian/muslim/christian/southern/progressive/racist is in the white house.

NO MORE BUSH!!
Lol you guys are too funny. Different leader but the same congress and senate that voted in favor of all of those unpopular things that Bush implimented.
Either you guys are too dumb to understand this or you simply dont care.

Listen,
No matter what President Obama does while he's in command, this is a historic day in our Country's history. I know that there are people who don't like the fact that he's the President, but there were people that didn't like the fact that Bush became President, especially the way he did. But it doesn't matter. I agree, I didn't think this Country was ready either, but I'm happy that I was proven wrong. The fact is, he's the first African American President. And as you may point out the he is more than just African American, I will point out that none of us are not 100% of one thing. And this very Country is the one that put labels on people. So, he's African American. And it's all really silly anyway. History has been made.
Deal with it!

Because the last one was a war-mongering monkey-brained idiot that can't complete a sentence and is responsible for the deaths of more Americans than Bin Laden is. Having that c**t with his finger near "the trigger" was a concern for the whole world. We're all relieved he's gone and has been replaced by an intelligent leader once again. American's can again travel the world and not have to pretend to be Canadian if anyone asks where they're from
AMEN!!!!!

Whatever you political inclinations, we American's should be proud of this day in our nation's history. The fact that we can choose someone so different than most to lead us is a testament in and of itself.

Congratulations to the USA!!!! A new dawn has arisen. The world is again excited by America's potential to be a positive influence upon it. That's been missing during most of the past 8 years. That alone is positive movement from the cause c?l?bre that was the Bush Doctrine. Obama's desire to reintroduce the importance of public works back to the citizens and connect with to the people in a very direct, real way is effective and unique to the digital age.
I have a personal plea, however. I am also a mixed-heritage African American. I am unapologetically a person of color. In spite of numerous hardships and obstacles, I have achieved a measure of personal success garnered through hard work, dedication, and perseverance. I've traveled the globe numerous times (I'm currently in Perth, Australia), and have gained first-hand opinions from a global perspective. What has dismayed me over the years had been the lack of enthusiasm and sense of personal responsibility within large swaths of the Black community. There were many who felt detached from the American experience and dream, and were entrenched with a belief that color is an impenetrable barrier. Yet, so many have found hope and a sense of belonging through the election of President Obama. His appointment transcends the black/white division so many have harbored, and has shattered the belief that skin color will forever be a limiting force to achieving the highest office on earth. My hope, my desire, is to see our community rise to the occasion and understand that the US is a far different country than it was 40 years ago. It's past time we lay down the negativity, gain personal accountability, and embrace the potential a truly unified population can achieve. Understanding that our differences are what makes us great will allow us to a chance to truly be a global beacon of hope, peace, and unity. Obama's ascension into the Presidency is but a potent example of this.
