There is no doubt I am thrilled at this win. I think I can stay living in this country which is really convenient and not only can I live in it but I can be proud and be happy with the direction this country is now going.
This is a massively historic win for us - and by us I say entire America. There has not been this shift in the worlds perception of the US in such a long time.
The BBC (Britain) said this "The United States has seen the biggest transformation in its standing in the world since the election of John Fitzgerald Kennedy in November 1960. "
LA Times concerning Kenya "After U.S. networks declared Obama the winner, cheers and shouts erupted under tents where several hundred residents of Nyangoma-Kogelo had gathered. Women began dancing and men paraded around carrying tree branches, a symbol of celebration."
The Australian "The American people have turned the page. This is more than a vote for change. It is a act of renewal, a turning point in American history and a quest for a better nation."
"This is the fall of the Berlin Wall times 10," Rama Yade, France's black junior minister for human rights, told French radio. "America is rebecoming a New World."
Poland's Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski spoke of "a new America with a new credit of trust in the world."
It is a good day for the entire world. Congratulations, America, for getting one right. We know the next four years is NOT going to be easy as we clean up the disasters of the past. But for optimism and for hope we have won. We are moving in the right direction for a better country and a better world for all.
I am so happy for all of us. I hope this will given not only America a new direction but the whole world.
ReplyDeleteI am happy that he is a democrat- and won. I'm happy he is black- and won. I just wish he could have been gay and female and still won, which would have meant that those barriers were also broken down.
I'm looking forward to the time that we can forget that he is black and just think of him as a great American.
Lets hope we can keep the independent voters, that moved to the democratic party for this election, for ever.
Thanks for all of your and Brandon's work during this election. It is people like you guys that really make a difference.
Love Mom
