Thinking about the last 8 years and letting out was like taking a huge breath again.

I'm more proud than ever to be American.

oh so did i ben so did i....... me, jesse, jessica p, and mike were all together and we just sat there no one said anything for a full mintue.. i said really? and the tears came... i have never felt so much happiness pride and hope in my life

Kevin & I are so thrilled that Obama got elected. We cried too it felt like this huge weight was lifted off our shoulders and we felt so positive about him being elected. It is one of the smartest things America has done in a long time. I had to be at work early the next day but I was not going to go to sleep until I heard him speak. It was worth being sleepy the next day I felt so good after hearing him speak. This was one of the best birthday gifts I have ever gotten. One birthday I won't soon forget!! Cannot wait to see the changes he makes - sadly he is inheriting quite a mess.

The speech was UNBELIEVABLE!!! What a great job he did. It was such an exciting night. Poor guy..has quite a heavy job coming up to clean up the mess left behind. But I truly believe he's the man to do it!

I know, I'm nervous about everything that he has to do now, but confident he will see every last thing through.

I hope the auto-industry bailout includes plans for clean cars...

I was reading this article today about Obama and how he is starting to work on the problems relating to the environment. This will be difficult for everyone to adjust to these changes but if we are to fix the problems we have created we need to start somewhere. At least Obama is addressing the issues that Bush just buried somewhere and ignored. We shall see how this works out.....
