Yes, I do feel President Elect Obama is my President and will represent me... your link seems to reflect those who need help.

Back in 2004 when he gave that speech No Red State, No Blue State, is the reason he worked hard across the country even in states he might not have won. I believe he did it to blur the lines and make us work together. For the most part it worked.

Media complains that he had too much money... well part of that money came from me..not much but part, no one has mention the income people gained when he spent it across the country...

I am thrilled and proud to have him and his family represent me in our country and around the world.

Question before the election, Does Obama share your family values.... heck yes he does just wish I lived up to them as well as he does. He is what all of us could be with DISAPLIN and drive..

YES HE IS MY PRESIDENT AND I AM PROUD OF THAT!!!

He is for me, my husband, my son, and my daughter. At 45yrs old and black I too was raise by a strong white woman in the country of Barbados. As an immigrant and veteran of this country he has given hope to my son and daughter in this great nation. Just like him I do understand that we are cut from a multi-colored cloth. My struggles came only when I came to this country as a mere teenager residing in a city so much like Chicago only by a different name; New York City. Our stories are similar, but different. Like him my white grandmother has taught me to be proud of the color of my skin, and that education will always prevail. Morals and value I have given to my children. What a great day to see this vision come to pass in this nation. As a nation and a people of color, WE MUST NOW STEP TO THE PLATE AND ALONG WITH HIM FULFILL THE DREAM..... Everyday should be a brighter day no matter how steep the mountain....We are at the bottom, but the top is very visible.....We must believe that CHANGE WILL COME..... AND TO DO THAT WE NOW HAVE THE HOPE OF A BETTER FUTURE

Like Viola Davis, a white woman who was killed trying to help black people vote and get their civil rights. It's a new day. Not a perfect day, because we hgave a lot to do. we have to get our people home from two wars and fix our own house (America) before we start wrecking other people's lives based on lies.

President-elect Obama will represent all of the American people-- and after so many years of partisan nonsense, or the "permanent campaign", or whatever you want to call that silliness, that will be a great relief to me.

We did it! But, as President-elect Obama said last night, this is not over yet. We have a long, hard road ahead of us.

I was very pleased (and deeply grateful) with Senator McCain's speech last evening. If Senator McCain so chooses, he can be a great ally of Senator Obama's in rooting the corruption right out of Washington. Last night, it certainly seemed like Senator McCain would make the choice to help.

Nothing less should be expected from Senator McCain. He will do the right thing.

And so will I, though I did not vote for President Elect Obama, I will support his efforts to make this country a better place for all citizens. Hopefully the rest of the 56,000,000 people who voted for Senator McCain will also.

Yes I feel that Obama stands for us. This man endured so many trials and tribulations while running for president. Not once did he loose sight of his goals or his purpose. He kept hope alive in us when we had none. McCain would have us living like homeless people. His plan was not for us it was for the rich. We need a president that stands for us and not against us. Not one who goes and steals a whole country. And he never faced a day in jail.

Hi Lace,

I think I'll be going into post-election withdrawal soon as the surreal envelops me.

In speaking to a friend, he simply spoke of thinking back to a few days after 9/11/2001. Imagine, if you will, the possibility of the election within 10 years an African American President with the name of Barack Hussein Obama. I think the reaction would have been "you're high or hallucinating or both." Unless you happened to be familiar with Illinois state politics at the time, to have this moment be foreseen seems so unlikely that I'm still not sure it really happened.

Barack and Biden with anywhere from 349 to probably 360 electoral college votes, may be more if the status quo in Missouri and Georgia changes... unbelievable.

Yes happy day! Just food for thought--with the crises with the auto industry why cannot we not apply Obama's campaign fund raising the same with the auto industry!! All CEO'S all employess pensioners --feeder plant workiers also US and Canada who land contracts with the big 3 and make their living from them all contribute $25.00 per week for workers=$100 month--pensioners $50 dollars per month--feed plants make less so they give $75.oo per month to the company they work for to reinvest--help with debt etc!

1. All workers--$100 per month -$25.00 per week pay check
2. Pensioners--$50 per month retired both in Canada and USA
3. Feeder plant workers--$60.00 per month- $15.00 per week pay check!

Money only to be applied to debt or new tech. resources only!! ---we all keep our jobs and invest in company!---Can someone let Obama know of this idea---how many people would that be?? Each company does this with all their workers--Chrysler GM Fords---

Re: OH HAPPY DAY!!! | Report to Admin

Unions would have to take a cut per month and do their share also--at least all would still have their jobs they say every 1 job lost at either Canada USA European workers also--who all work with either Chrysler GM FORDS ripple event 9 people total lose their jobs--all feeder plants also they only have jobs if chrysler or Fords or Gm give them a contract right?

So how many employees including feed plants and Canada workers would that bring in money back into the company of each Chrysler Ford GM--each their own workers??? Would Chrysler not get around 60 million per month like Campaign $ 60 million x12==$720 million per year??? Would that not help the economy kick start back up with the auto????

Joe-- I don't need to look up David Duke. I know who that man is. What I cannot decipher is what David Duke-- who wanted to divide this Country up into segments with the Catholics in one state, the Jews in another state, the African-Americans in another and the rest to "whites" (according to Mr. Duke's definition of "white") has to do with this election. I never could figure out where I would end up had Mr. Duke succeeded since there are Catholics in my background, as well as White Anglo-saxon Protestants and some we just don't know for certain what their origin was.

Here is an example: my nana's mother died of child-birth on the kitchen table on the plains in Nebraska when my nana was 16. My nana's mother came to this Country by ship from the Port of Calais-- and that is about all anyone knows. She could be French-- but then she could be just about anything. Thank goodness we do NOT live in the America Mr. Duke would create because I might have to be split in two to accommodate his crazy re-location schemes.

Thank goodness we live in an America where we can all simply say "I'm an American!" or refer to ourselves like I do sometimes in memory of all of the great laughs in Stripes as "American Mutts."

Really, I think you are comparing apples (President-elect Obama) and rotten eggs (David Duke). Your comparison just makes no sense to me.

Also-- we do need to work together to get our Country back on the right track. Even if you supported Senator McCain, we could still use your help-- the road ahead will be a difficult one, and the more hands on deck we have, the easier it will be for us to succeed in getting our Country back on the right track.

Dear President OBama and Family, I just want to say that I share all the optimism of this significant day. Tears came to my eyes as I realized that the Dream of Freedom that was most well voiced by Martin Luther King was perhaps coming closer to reality. The dream he and others sacrificed so mucg for. That a President that was going to give the people our country back might be coming to office. That a Man who stood for the people could win. This is a very promising and hopeful time.

The rhetoric of the campaign will soon be behind us. As you advance through the coming days I wish you all the luck and blessings that God can provide. I pray earnestly that you will gain the mandate of the people and roll back layer upon layer of corruption, the patriot act, the restrictions on our freedoms that have made some of us forget what it meant to be American. What the American dream was built upon has been eroded so severely in this last administration that I hardly recognize who we are at times.

You have held a very high torch in front of the eyes of a nation Mr President. My heart and experience tells me that no one man could possibly fulfill on all of these commitments that you have made. But those commitments, those promises are what we all wanted to hear, what we need to hear what we need to be able to reasonably believe. The story you have told has captivated us. Including us in your battle has been a genius of leadership. Involving us in your story you have shown wisdom Biblical in nature however the spin-doctors will rephrase it. I supported this vision as I voted for you. I will support you as long as this vision is ever at the forefront of your efforts. But I must say that having set your mark so high, I have to pray that God is with you always, so that you may never waver. I pray you may never forget the journey that has made you the new hope of the world. For that is what an American President truly is.

God Bless you
Alton O'Briant

TOP REPORT FROM SOUTH KOREA: True Story of President Kim Young Sam, by Charles Sohn, son to SHIN YONG SEOK, closest confidante to President Kim | Report to Admin

By Charles from Washington, DC Nov 6th 2008 at 12:35 am EST (Updated Nov 6th 2008 at 12:35 am EST)

Firstly, congratulations to President Obama!

My name is Charles Sohn. I am an attorney admitted in New York (U.S.), England and Wales and Australia (NSW).

My father is SHIN Yong-Seok, who is the closest confidant to ex-President of Korea, Yong-Sam Kim.

As I have worked in Korea, I am writing to expose the level of corruption and criminal activities Korean politics and politicians are involved in.

Since in Korean politics, sometimes people "disappear" (e.g., an ex-Hyundai Group chairman apparently committed suicide by jumping off a building, under suspicious circumstances and for reasons the public was extremely critical of), I am seeking the assistance and involvement of FBI, CIA, Scotland Yard, the Australian Government, Australian Secret Intelligence Agency as well as INTERPOL and their international organization partners such as the International Association of Prosecutors and entities against corruption at all levels, for my personal and bodily safety.

However, I believe the serious level of corruption in Korea should be revealed, and this is an exercise of freedom of speech and press, which is protected under most constitutions around the world.

Please find attached an article on the ex-President YS Kim (who was in power between 1993 and 1998), who is now trying to come to power again for presidential elections and his political party's control.

May the worst kept secrets of Korea be revealed, as such information is not easily found overseas, and may we strive for justice in national politics. Please feel to edit it as per your company's policy for polishing up the language.

I would be happy to have an interview, whether via satellite, video-conferencing or in person on this topic.

If I can clarify anything, please do not hesitate to contact me, whether via email or my Australian cell number - +(61)405-62-9115 (Australia, Sydney).

Sincere regards,

Charles Sohn

Joan,

Stop watching FOX and friends and don't let the conservative pundits fill your head with hooey. Your thoughts are disconnected and accusations of corruption baseless. If you really want to understand what makes Barack who he is I would suggest you read his book, "The Audacity of Hope." I found the book to enlighten me to many of his convictions and his aspirations, struggles and successes as a legislator.

Having the opportunity to experience the movement would help your perspective tremendously. Our movement, with Barack as our leader, has nothing to do with a party. We the People of the United States of America, will no longer be told by a party who we must vote for, and we will never allow a political pundit to tell us how we should think again. We have risen up as a collective body to demand change and to say that nothing short of that goal will be considered acceptable. Every one of us now knows that one voice can make a difference and it doesn't matter whether that voice is connected to white, brown, red or yellow skin; old or young skin; male or female skin; "red" or "blue" skin; Christian, Muslim, Jewish or Hindu skin. We are all one voice today shouting out for peace, equality and understanding. We have a victory today but our mission has only just begun.

Yes we can...

Inauguration National Celebration | Report to Admin

Is there anything in the works for a Nationwide Inaugural Ball? Each local or County Democratic Party accross America could rent a banquet Hall on Inauguration Night.
Picture it - I could buy a ticket to a local celebration at a local Hotel or Banquet Hall. At each local celebration C-Span will be on a big screen TV broadcasting the festivities In Washington DC. Each local event would be fairly simple to put on - There could be a cash bar, a DJ and some fundraising activities. Also the media exposure would very positive and add a local spin.

2. Consider David Gergen as an adviser. He served under Reagan, Ford, and Clinton. He can help with the early stages of transition.
3. Consider a Latino (a) or Asian to complete the Illinois Senate term. Both groups stepped up to the plate in helping us to win this victory.

I'd like to remind everyone that Barack's ideology is not about Democrats or Republicans. Our movement is about change and inclusiveness. I live in Chris Shays district and I can say there is no candidate who is more thoughtful and caring and party agnostic than Chris. He is the least republican Republican in either house and he crosses the line continually. I remember Republicans being incensed when he voted against impeaching president Clinton and he has been attacked every two years more by Republicans for not supporting his own than by Democrats. He's a good man who would have continued to represent us better than an inexperienced Jim Himes will.

Replacing Republicans with Democrats for the sake of replacing Republicans with Democrats is NOT what this movement is about.

Anything is possible - my friend's raw emotions captured by the Boston Globe | Report to Admin

By Linda London Nov 5th 2008 at 3:56 pm EST (Updated Nov 5th 2008 at 3:56 pm EST)

This video by the Boston Globe starts at the home of one of my life long good friend Dehlia, a Harvard law professor and a die-hard Obama supporter.

The video starts by recording Dehlia's raw reactions at MSNBC calling the win for Obama, as she calls her mum and alerts her sleeping child of the historic moment. It continues with raw shots of the streets of Boston, and continues with the emotional reaction of an elderly black woman, who is a community activist.

I am not merely sharing a video, but a personal journey.

Someday soon, I shall write in details about why as a black person living in the UK, the election of President elect Barack Obama has filled me with unbelievable joy, immense pride, hope, emotions that I can’t contain or easily explain, and the firm possibility that I can do absolutely anything that I set my mind to, if I work hard, believe in God and in my own abilities.

As someone who has sadly experienced the full force of the ugliness that is racism, this is also defeat of those who will discriminate against anyone for no other reason but for the color of their skin.

Thank you all for your inspiration, and I am so grateful that I can go through my personal journey with President elect Barack Obama, with you guys at the click of a mouse.

God bless, guide, guard and protect President elect Barack Obama and his family. God bless the United States of America.

So many got us to this fine day.

Fannie Lou Hamer was one of them: Link

On June 3, 1963, Fannie Lou Hamer and other civil rights workers arrived in Winona, MS by bus. They were ordered off the bus and taken to Montgomery County Jail. The story continues "...Then three white men came into my room. One was a state highway policeman (he had the marking on his sleeve)... They said they were going to make me wish I was dead. They made me lay down on my face and they ordered two Negro prisoners to beat me with a blackjack. That was unbearable. The first prisoner beat me until he was exhausted, then the second Negro began to beat me. I had polio when I was about six years old. I was limp. I was holding my hands behind me to protect my weak side. I began to work my feet. My dress pulled up and I tried to smooth it down. One of the policemen walked over and raised my dress as high as he could. They beat me until my body was hard, 'til I couldn't bend my fingers or get up when they told me to. That's how I got this blood clot in my eye - the sight's nearly gone now. My kidney was injured from the blows they gave me on the back."

As someone who voted for McCain, I still have to say that I am not surprised that Obama won. One can tell that Obama is an extremely intelligent, well-minded person. I'm sure I'm not the only American that hopes he can bring this country into a new era of prosperity. Please remember President Obama, stick to your ideals that we are all God's children. Keep fighting the good fight against social injustice. I'm sure you'll make a great president, Mr. Obama. Just remember to temper your decisions with compassion for all of God's children.

Thank you for this post. I think we will see more folks following Barack's example, making more of an effort to truly listen to different perspectives, to consider others' views with respect, openness and genuine curiosity. Fewer diatribes and greater dialogues. And that will improve our country and our government inestimably.

Thank you for your openness. Our motto has long been Respect, Empower, Include. Your post reflects that spirit, and I thank you for it.

She had to vote using a provisional ballot.

Personally, I also wonder why not all people that can read and write and is accountable for its thoughts and actions are allowed to vote, for example prisoners. They are citizens of America and should be able to affect their future as well.

President-Elect Obama,

Even though I don't know you personally I am bursting with pride. I'm not just proud of you, but of my fellow Americans. "All men are created equal" is no longer just a phrase, but now living reality. Way to go everybody!! Mr. Obama, I'm sure you will do a fantastic job and do the best you can. We all have more faith in you than you could ever possibly imagine. Look at what you've done already. You dealt with all of the nastiness and negativity in the most classy and graceful way. I admire you so much for that. Now go to Washington D.C. in January and show 'em how it's done!!

"Then a ploughman said, Speak to us of Work.
And he answered, saying:
You work that you may keep pace with the earth and the soul of the earth.
For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons, and to step out of life's procession, that marches in majesty and proud submission towards the infinite.

When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music.
Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings in unison?

Always you have been told that work is a curse and a labor, a misfortune.
But I say to you that when you work you fulfill a part of earth's furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born,
And in keeping yourself with labor you are in truth loving life,
And to love life through labor is to be intimate with life's inmost secret.

But if you in pain call birth an affliction and the support of flesh a curse written upon your brow, then I answer that naught but the sweat of your brow shall wash away what is written.

You have also been told that life is darkness, and in your weariness you echo what is said by the weary.
And I say that life is indeed darkness save when there is urge,
And all urge is blind save when there is knowledge,
And all knowledge is vain save when there is love;
And when you work you bind yourself to yourself, and to one another, and to God.

And what is it to work with love?
It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth.
It is to build a house with affection, even as if your beloved were to dwell in that house.
It is to sow seeds with tenderness and reap the harvest with joy, even as if your beloved were to eat the fruit.
It is to charge all things you fashion with a breath of your own spirit,
And to know that all the blessed dead

are standing about you with joy.

Often I have heard you say, as if speaking in sleep, "He who works in marble, and finds the shape of his own soul in the stone, is nobler than he who ploughs the soil.And he who seizes the rainbow to lay it on a cloth in the likeness of man, is more than he who makes sandals for our feet".
But I say, not in sleep but in the overwakefulness of noontide, that the wind speaks not more sweetly to the giant oaks than to the least of all blades of grass;
And he alone is great who turns the voice of the wind into a song made sweeter by his own loving.

WORK IS LOVE MADE VISIBLE.
And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.
For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger.
And if you grudge the crushing of grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine.
And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man's ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.

-Kahlil Gibran

Dear mr Obama and to all the voters in the US.

A great day for a great nation has come. In the Netherlands almost 80% of the public would have voted for Obama, so a news poll told us. We are glad with this outcome. 4 years ago most of the European people could not believe that American citizens where so blinded by the Bush administration and prodicted 4 years of instabillity and economic resession. At last the majority of the people woke up in time to prevent disaster, created by 8 years of GWB-administration.
Thank you for youre commen sense and trust in a better world. Now wounds, inflicted bij GWB can be healed and friendship between our countrys can go back to mutual respect and kindness. I lost hope in the American public but with this election you showed me, and many Europeans that Americans and Europeans are coming closer and closer towards eachother.

This is a great era for America, Europe an mankind that shows that coloured people and white people truly understand the meaning of love and friendship, at last.

I am surtain that change will come but that change takes time and Americans now will find the peace to give change time. God bless you, God bless America.

Mr. President and all-As I reflect over the last few years of my life I truly and honestly can say that last night at 10:00p.m. was the happiest day in my life as a mother. Now as a mother I can look into my children's big beautiful brown eyes and not be lying to them when I tell them that there is nothing in this world that they cannot do. For you see as a mother what I call my bi-racial children and the world calls black children they now can achieve anything through hard work and dedication. It is not about the handouts because we won't get any because of my hard work as their mother. It is not about the taxes that I will have to pay. It is much bigger then those issues. It is about equal opportunity, better educational systems, and a better life for my kids. For all of us that have worked so hard for the Obama campaign, do not forget that our efforts are not over. We must stand up and take responsibility for our homes and communities. Fathers must teach their sons how to be men and fathers, teach their daughters to have respect for themselves as women. Mothers must teach their daughters how to have dignity and to carry themselves with class, and teach their sons to respect themselves and their families. As Obama said many times the government cannot do everything nor should they. It takes parents who turn off the T.V. to ensure that school lessons are completed, that manners are taught in the home and that children learn that through hard work anything is achievable. We must hold our teachers accountable for our children’s education, but we must hold ourselves accountable for our children's success or lack there of in life. It is our responsibilty, and opportunity to change America. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I can now say that I have lived to see your dream and my dream for my children come true. I am so happy today to say that I am an AMERICAN and I do live in the greatest country in the world THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

the main point of this entry was to ask a question...does anybody know if this website will stay functional now that the election is over...this would make a great tool for the president to communicate with his constituents and also be a valuable resource for communities to involve their people...anyone with a great idea could concievably use this website to organize a volunteer group to maybe do a park cleanup or help rebuild a school playground...just a thought...if anyone knows...please respond....

And for your service in the military.

As regards the website, none of us know what's up, but my sniff -- based on the intelligence of this campaign -- is that it'll morph into a governing mode that will allow us to maintain our connections and self-organizing and support for Change and Hope.

Hi Everyone,

Traveling for work- I'm in DC and the vibes here are so positive! People are so excited and hopeful. I think I've been in shock- just numb, thankful, and in some ways - still cannot believe it!!!

I used to wear the Obama gear to encourage conversations and invite people to dialogue, vote, or visit the website. Now I wear the gear - in celebration and to continue to dialogue about what an incredible time this is!!!

It looks as if Indiana finally made the right choice- so did Va, Ohio, Penn & Fla! What a landslide of blue states that typically go red! You'll never know how proud I am that Indiana began to look to the future instead of at the past.

And last night- the speech, the park, the people, what an awesome statement about who he is and how he has encouraged us to be. An unforgettable moment in time...

I'm looking forward to continued blogging - and of course I'm hoping to get an invitation to the inauguration!!!

Hi happy Obama blog people.
I am known as a huge Obama supporter in my little world and I just wanted to say a few things.
Firstly, I did a bit of volunteer work just before super Tuesday and donated as well, but nothing like the work many of you have done.
Congratulations on your sacrifice, your service and your just plain hard work and sweat for these long months.
Secondly, during the course of the campaign, especially those long months last spring, (superdelegates, anyone?) I spent ALOT of time online looking for any information I could about the race.
Consistently, I found the best, most accurate and helpful info right here on these blogs. Seriously, you people do your homework! It is a testament to Barack that he attracts such intelligent, resourceful people.
Lace King, Desert Dan, so many of you. I feel like I know you from your words on these blogs. You all got me through this loooong campaign and look where we are now!
Mr. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle, Malia and Sasha are going to the White House. It sounds like music to my ears!
Thanks again, for always being here.
Now...the real work begins.
Let's go out and change the world!

Thank you President Obama for allowing all of us to be so involved in this campaign to take back America. Last night, when the election results were announced that we had won, I started crying. This has been such an incredible journey and for everything to turn out just right was so emotional. A new day has dawned in our country and the world will see us in a different light. I am so proud of the United States of America. I just wish my state was a blue one! Yesterday, I and several other Democrats spent the day holding signs encouraging motorists to go vote and vote Democratic. We also had state elections, a Senate race (which unfortunately returned Mitch McConnell) and a House race. A lot of people ignored us or shook their heads, (one guy called us communists!) but we had a lot of encouraging horn honks, thumbs up, waves and yells of support. Our local high school had a mock election and Obama won handily as he did in the state mock elections. So there is hope for the future!
Thank you to all to bloggers and all those people who I know did a lot more work than I did. I will always cherish the great "Obama" community.
