In Grant Park: Ready to See History Be Made

Congrats to president Obama!!!

Hi folks! I’m deaf citizen and I voted for Obama. I’m proud that he will be our president in 2009. I was impressed with him when he sent a blind hearing volunteer to Deaf Nation Expo (www.deafnation.com) and explained to us about how Obama supports Disabilities. McCain people didn’t bother to show up. I guess we weren’t good enough for them. GO OBAMA GO!!!

Mr. Obama reminds me of Gandhi who believed in peace instead of violence and brought his country in a new direction once the British were forced to leave. Gandhi is a great leader. One doesn’t win by fighting violence with violence. There must be other alternatives.
I grew up in the ’70′s and remember people caring about one another in Chicago. I believe we need this back instead of the “me, myself & I” mentality we have today.
I’d like to see Mr. McCain and Mr. Obama work together at some point. One may not necessarily agree with another’s opinion but they could find common ground inbetween and join together to help make the U.S.A. better.

A dark cloud that has covered the landscape of America from the purple mountains to the shining seas is now being lifted. A new day is dawning and America is once again a land of HOPE!

It’s a great time in our history to see Senator Obama elected President. I never thought I would see this happen in my lifetime.
Congratulations President Barack Obama!
God Bless you and God Bless AMERICA!!!

Thank you America! We’ve overcome bigotry and careless ignorance, and chosen a future of steady economic growth, tolerance, respectful foreign relations, and rational decisions. GO OBAMA! Let’s start a rejuvenated America!

I can’t wait to see what happens to this country. I’m so excited for what is to COME for all of US!

I am so proud of America, of democracy, and of the people who protect our rights.

So this is how democracy dies, with thunderous applause…

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL!!!
I go to school downtown, not to far from chicago and all day it was all about Obama. Such an amazing thing, I so happy and honored to have witnessed this and to be apart of this. Its 11 o’clock in chicago and the streets are empty and its amazing we have come together. YES WE CAN We asked for a change, we demanded a change and we were given a change.

Hopefully the real God and not “The One” will save us…seems the voters don’t have enough sense to do it!

I am so happy – I am so very very happy.This is the first time I’ve cried tears of joy to hear the results of a presidential election. God bless PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had the great opportunity of watching until the 270 mark was surpassed on this chilled evening until late hours of the night.
I was rewarded far more by staying up into the wee hours of the night and witnessing the first speech by a bright individual who will once again reunite our American belief that anything is possible and anything can be accomplished. I believe I just witnessed a speech as symbolic as Kennedy’s….I just witnessed a historical event of inspiration.
Now roll up your sleeves it’s time for all of us to go to work.
-Displaced MI worker.

Rue this prophecy:
After a great victory
The clever one will fall
Behind the shroud the cities burn
And streets run with blood

I predict 4 years from now Hussein’s popularity will be as bad as our REAL president Mr. George W. Bush. Faced with all the lemons the world has thrown at Bush, Obama would have turned the other cheek in favor of his islamist terrorist friends. You idiotic ignorant people incapable of understanding global pressures with inherent economic consecuences, you sold your country to islam. Piss_on the koran.

I’m not American but I wish to congratulate all American to have made such a historical moment and congratulations to President Obama.

Thank you George Bush, Thank you Cheney, Thank you McCain, Thank you Palin and Thank you to all the rest of you who supported the Republicans, who supported the filth, who supported the lies, the corruption, the special interests, the evil and the scum that led us to this great day!
And Thank you Lord for all you have given us and all you give.
Amen

Congratulations America! You made the right choice to take you forward…

I cried with joy for this great day. More than a new president, more than a new era, it is a new world.
No longer are we the ugly Americans. Proudly we can hold our heads and proclaim in red, white and blue the we are Americans.
God Bless Obama, God Bless America! God Bless the World!

I love America! I want to thank all of you who didn’t give up on her. America from sea to shining seas.
Bless you President Obama.

No, this is how liberty is reborn!
President Obama! I believe….

I have never been as proud of my country as I am tonight. This is a beautiful moment in our history. Congratulations to Obama, his family and the USA!

Obama’s campaign was based on positive things. It’s really good to see that America did not fall to the ignorance that was sometimes portrayed by ignorant people. I think McCain is a great guy, but it wasn’t in the cards. His concession was very graceful and I appreciate the fact that he did NOT stand there and let people boo the next president! Kudos to McCain, Congrats to Obama!

PhuckYou!!
All of a sudden NOW you have a change of heart and will be this nice person posting nothing hatred, and you what? Expect the same? Where was your wanting to try earlier? You spew hate until you get your way, then only now, do you think we should all work together. Too late!
You people re-wrote the rule book on what is acceptable hatred one can throw at the other party and the president. And you all sum it up under the word “dissent”.
Guess what azzhole, it is going to be a looooooong four years for you!
Hey, don’t blame me. Blame the liberals, I learned from them.

Obama is his own worst enemy. When he opens his mouth garbage flies out and the liberal rats run to lick it up, while the majority of normal people in this country are repulsed by it.

Oprah,
The majority of the normal people voted, and you lost!
President Obama! I believe……

Wow!
This goes side by side with the fall of the Iron Curtain as earthshaking and historic events.
I told many of my friends in Europe that America wasn’t ready to elect a black president. Boy, was I wrong!
The amazing thing of America is how it can reinvent itself from the ashes of its failures.

Obama is a great man and will be a great president, but he is, in the end of the day, still just a man.
He will run into many like the hate mongers here, who would stand in his way, who will try to stop him.
But, he will not walk that path alone. You evil ones will not stop him, because he walks with me. He walks with America.
We must and will work together to make the path clear and to make it happen.

Obama isn’t THE president, he is OUR president. He represents us, we voted for him. A president represents the people of his country. We haven;t had that in 8 years!
President Obama! I believe……

Amen brothers and sisters, Amen!

There are about 300 million Americans. The majority clearly applaud the results tonight. 99.999% of all Americans will accept the results and behave civilly, even if some aren’t happy with the outcome.
The other .001 % are represented by a few of the crazies who display their hatred and ignorance through their posts here.
God bless America

I am proud to be an American and have my children be a part of this Historic moment. God Bless America. ( and to all the people who hate because of ones skin color lets show the world that we practice what we preach and we are not Terrorist. but belive in Democracy) Congratulations America!!!!

The only thing that was proven tonite is that the ghetto in the USA is now so big that it can elect a president. The ghettolardasses with their stupid food-stamp raised criminals-to-be multi-children litter. The useless freeloader out-of-jail on probation in-hiding babydaddy that can’t do anything but recycle aluminum cans for a living. So used to the ghetto life that expects the government support forever. You all think that Hussein will give away lots of money for burgers and chitlinks. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hussein celebrated victory sacrificing a goat with his Kenya corn feeders and muslim insurgent friends on the front lawn of the white house. Hey, why stop there,install some spinner rims on the presidential limo. Piss_on the koran.

I feel sorry for those about to feel as I did for the last 8 years.
You will know that many have come before you and had to endure 8 long years.
Rest assured that you are in the minority and that eventually all things come to pass.
History came today and the 8 long years are in the past!
Amen!
God Bless America, God Bless Obama and God Bless Independent realist! That is the attitude of a winner. We are all winners today – you just have to let it happen!

Mr. McCain was very gracious in defeat today. He is a true american whose goal is only the best for this country. We can only hope that all americans can accept tomorrow in the best light and as a whole, and not different sides.
President Obama! I believe……

‘DAMN IT, WILL YOU TELL THEM TO WAIT A MINUTE? I NEED TO FINISH MY SMOKE IN THIS HEAR BATHROOM IN THE WHITEYHOUSE, I’LL BE RIGHT UP THERE FOR THAT MEETING IN A MINUTE! OH TELL MY KIDS TO QUIT SWINGING FROM THE CHANDELIERS TOO! AND DON’T LET ANYONE IN THE LINCOLN BEDROOM, WE ARE HAVING A CRACK PARTY AND GAY SEX!

Pull my finger – shame on you for making such racist comments. I am so glad that most paople in this country see through you and your bigoted attitudes.

I firmly believe that Palin lost the election for McCain. He should have picked Lieberman (his personal choice). It was the republican party that pushed him into choosing Palin. He is much more moderate than how he presented himself in the campaign.

To all the hateful racists who have posted here — I remember a phrase from 40 years ago. You should take it to heart. It goes:
AMERICA – LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a REPUBLICAN. Have you all forgotten that? Dr. King would’ve voted for McCain.

The late great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a REPUBLICAN. Have you all forgotten that? Dr. King would’ve voted for McCain.

@ Stephen Hancock
We won’t have to leave America. She has officially died tonight.
America, R.I.P.
1776-2008
A token president will not save her. You will see this come to pass. Nobama can’t fix the country. This too shall pass. A once great country is still divided. They will keep this in your face.

A RESPONSE TO KRISTI (the deaf commenter) :
You would be happy to know Obama had signers in front of the jumbo screens at Grant Park, so everyone could understand what was going on. :D

The Greatest Day of the Century.
but now we should help OUR President to make things happen.
Yes, We Can.

I just would like say that that I am very proud of Obama. I know that he will keep his word in helping us out of this bad economy. We were mislead by Bush and others as well and this is why we are where we are at today. Now we have a new biginning and a new life. We don’t have to worry anymore so much. God Bless our Country and our Americans.

Not that the numbers matter now, but just for the record, the votes that put Obama in office were primarily:
95% of the black ethnocentric population
67% of the Hispanic population (including Mexican immigrants)
60% naive youth
55%, lesbian feminists
And, this is what the news labels the redefining of the new American story. In the words of Tavis Smiley, “I pray that Obama doesn’t sell his soul under the pressure of the Black population to be tribal”. The music and the atmosphere of Obama’s victory party included “There’s no stoppin us now”, and there were stars and planets around his Stalin sized portrait. The words world, planetary, and global have been repetitious throughout the campaign. One headline read “Obama’s army”. The America of Obama is going global. His definition of “one” is not an independent collection of red and blue states, but when he says “out of many we are one” he is including other countries like Kenya (and Muslim Africa ect ect). According to the news we have been introduced to a new kind of politics. The global atmosphere of his whole campaign and Presidential agenda is thematically consistent to the Star Wars type music in the background. The first thing he said in his acceptance speech is that all things are possible. In that statement he is steeling the words of Christ, who said “With me all things are possible”. What is most disturbing was when Obama said we are now putting our hands on the ARC OF HISTORY, and bending it towards a better day. If he is going to quote scripture, then he should realize that Uza who touched the Arc of the Covenant in the Old Testament was instantly struck dead by God. The reason being the Arc is holy, and we are not. Obama, is not the answer to the world. He is not a black messiah. And, anyone who quotes the Bible should read it in its entirety, and understand what they are quoting. It is not Obama, but God Himself who is sovereign over human history. And, it is the word of God that says “I can do all things thru Christ Jesus who strengthens me”. But, the mantra of Obama’s followers is “I can, yes I can” thru Obama. It is deeply disturbing, that the “revisionist history” that is rewriting our constitution is blindsiding the majority of voters, and creating amnesia to what President John Adams considered politically correct. By the way, John Adams did not keep slaves during a time of slavery. So, tell me why is it that the Southern States who knew black slavery are now red, and why didn’t they use their freedom to vote for Obama? Could it be, because these states are in the “Bible belt”? And, why is it that the rights of a Christian minority in today’s America are not considered equal to the rights of the liberal majority? Just some thought provoking questions to consider in light of Obama’s ecumenical agenda for what he calls a new dawn. In the big picture of world history, numbers are not the defining factor of a nation’s survival. Just look at the perseverance of Israel, against all odds humanly speaking. God has, and will continue to preserve her according to His word. And, this same God who has blessed America will remove his protective hand if we partner with purposes contrary to his word. The defining moment of America’s future is not the numbers in this election. It is the humble prayers of those who seek God for the healing of this land. Otherwise, we will shrink and fall like Rome, and Sodom, and Gomorrah under the judgment of God. It is not by Obama, but only by the grace of God, who is the King of Kings that we still stand. HIS-STORY, doesn’t belong to Obama, it is God’s story of redemption. And, Obama is not God, and is not worthy of worship. The sun will go down on those who idolatrously chant “Obama, Obama, Obama”. Real hope does not lie in a temporal economy, or a temporal leader.

I being a 34 year old white AMERICAN was in a black community ( east st. louis) when the news of Obama’s win came in and was met by NOTHING but hatred and violence toward me and I was lucky to make it out of the town in one piece.

I’m happy for the majority of decent African-Americans out there, especially these young kids.
It is about time that we had a minority President, and hopefully in the foreseeable future a female president or VP.
However, Obama is no Dr. King.
And, hopefully, the hate-filled black racists and hate merchants won’t mar what could be a positive aspect of this choice, because I’m not envisioning too many of those.
Same goes for you racist Whiteys out there. You’re an embarrassment.

The job of a “political plumber” is to clean up national messes; will the person the Democrats elected to do this be successful? We shall see in 2012 if “Obama the plumber” did his job…

Where are the comments about Ayers? Just like they way all of you voted, choose to ignore the massive problems with this guy and the massive problems our DEMOCRATIC congress have created or decided to ignore. Why don’t we give another one of you a huge sweetheart loan!!!! Glad this man was able to buy a presidency.
