Thank you, America, thank you!!!!

[WillyWonka]

Short of a MAJOR voting scandal, you are making lots of people in this small island across the pond* very happy

• and fewer people in your huge neighbour to the north (as my Canadian in laws and husband's extended family will testify!)

x 10 to the n power

This is America. You're welcome.

only in America, well done

thank god he has won

the polar bears are safe a little longer

Yaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy from Australia! Welcome back America.

Well done

HUGE sigh of relief that crazy Palin didn't get in.

Thought McClains speech was very gracious. Glad he didn't win, of course.

and yes, to everyone who doubted the amrican people: i won't say i told you so .

70%+ voter turnout: THAT nakes me so proud!

Fucking well done!!!!

Made up for you all.

What did I miss? I take Obama won yay.

Maybe the world will now become a better place.

Well done America indeed

It has given me my faith of democracy back .
I have to admit to thinking that Mccain was very gracious in his speech

Memorable day, and great expectations...all good stuff!

Congratulations America! Welcome back to the age of reason

Yay! So great to smash the myth that America is a conservative country

I'm all emotional about it - it feels v odd

Fab news!

Expat - what a 24 hours for you!!!!!

I am all teary reading all the coverage and the threads on here.

Woooooohooooooo!!
I was fretting last night, when I fell asleep McCain was ahead by 5, and I was getting a little worried (even though very early on!!)
There was a news flash saying "McCain predicted to win" and I was shouting "noooooo, what is happening!!" when I realised it was just in one state

Bloody good news - thought McCain's speech was gracious and thought Obama's speech rocked.
It made me proud to be American. Or it would have done if I was American. Which I'm not.

am so extremely happy that this day has come

So am I saadia - it is indeed a truely happy day (if a little sleep deprived!)

Congratulations America - we may get round to forgiving you for Bush now!!

Go Obama!
