I love it. I Love the media is talking how Jubilant it will to see small kids back in the white house, and seeing them in the white house will be exciting. I think its JFK All over again, and what he brought to America, and what Obama seems want to bring. Foxnews is actually talking great about OBAMA, and seem to be excited over the win...  |

I'm sorry Psy. =( I think a lot of people voted against Republicans this year because of the state of the country the last 8 years.. it doesn't mean all Republicans are like Bush. |

He voted against Bush alot, and he actually wrote back to me a few times on issues facing the country. He took the time for the people here, so It's sad to see him lose. |

I really respect Mccain for that speech, and calming his supporters. I do feel sorry for him, and maybe he should of won in 2000. Like the tv reporters said Bush beat him in 2000, and now in 2008. He should of distanced himself from Bush more, and maybe he could of won. |

Im sad to see McCain lose, but such is life. His speech was extremely approiate and he understood that his running mate was a good competator and his loss was not taken personal by any means. congradulations to Obama for a good race!!  |

I teared up as soon as it was announced he won because of the fact that his grandmother died the day before she could see her grandson become the first black president of the united states.. something that she helped him achieve in so many ways. I am so happy about the outcome of this election. It's absolutely amazing.  |

Ihave to say, putting asie the abortion issue, that Im VERY glad my children, who are mixed black themselves, get to grow up seeing a black man be the president, and the first lady black, the two most powerful voices on earth! I didnt think id see it in my lifetime. This will be so good for the black community which is so near and dear to my heart.  |

He could also be considered the first half white president or the first half black president. Institutional Racism is dead. Time to move on and get past it.  |

Bcar, you can try to push the fact aside all you want, but he IS the first black president [whether half black or not] and I think that's pretty important. |

i'm sick of hearing about him being the first black president. he is of mixed race. why is he considered black and not white? besides that....who cares? he is a man.... a human being and in a couple of months he will start running our country. i don't care what his skin color is i just hope he does his best for america.  |

Not putting aside anything, just stating a fact. Using 50% of his racial identity to affix a label sounds a bit racist (or opportunistic) to me. |

Bravo Moma Bug! I TOTALLY & COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU 150%!!! And I see where you're coming from, BCAR and agree. This election wasn't about Race for me. It was about who's going to be best for America. And in my opinion a lot of people are gambling on someone who I believe is actually just a face of others who are really running the show in the background... Yeah that may sound far-fetched but I truly believe there's more to what we see. GOD BLESS! Love and Hugs, |

Of course it wasn't about race.. I would agree with Obama's policies even if he was 100% white or 100% black.. all I am saying is that it IS a historic election in that he is a mixed race elect and that has never happened. It's certainly not relevant to how he performs as president. And for the record, I got the title of my post from the title of the article. |

Yeah, it's not relevant that he's half black. All that matters to me is that he does a good job. Race was NOT a factor in how I voted.  |
