Last night, I was supposed to be going to sleep early since I was going to school, no such luck though. I just HAD to watch the election on the news, I basically watched it all day. Let me tell you, I don’t like watching the news, but I was there watching it while watching other shows, between commercials, and several different news channels, lol. They weren’t hard to find either, almost every channel had something about it. The results of the electoral votes were: Obama - 349 McCain - 147
So, our next president is… Barack Obama!!! This is proof that change can happen. Everyone that wanted him to win is so happy. Last night, people were driving through the streets honking their horns and screaming out his name. It was so funny how ecstatic they are, they’re so proud that they are alive in this historic moment when an African-American became president. All that’s left now is for a woman to become president ;).

I’m not American, and not really into politics, but I’m glad that Obama won!
I would vote for him if I could. Hee.

I’m never interested in anything political related. xD

I hope people chose Obama for President based on his merit as a politician and lawyer, not just because he’s black…
I am not particularly interested in American politics as they don’t apply to me, but this is an historic moment for black people all over the world, and for equality in general. Hopefully, it’ll influence other countries to take notice of all ethnic groups and races and appreciate people for who they are, not what they look like.

Hell yes! I actually cried when Obama gave his acceptance speech. I truly hope it works out for the best!

I’ve always been highly interested in local and national politics, but since I’m living in the Philippines, I have to admit my interest wasn’t all that captured by the US Elections. ^_^ But I did see the reaction of Obama’s supporters, and it was intense.
A woman US president? Maybe that’s not far off, eh? In our country, the 2nd woman to be elected president is wreaking havoc across our nation. LOL.

I was quite ecstatic when Obama won.
But unfortunately the school I go to a good population wanted Mccain.
Me and my friends got shushed and shunned.
But it was still fun to run out the dorms screaming:
“free at last!!!”
