This one is for the history books

I didn’t think we’d be able to vote in a black person as President of the United States.

We did.

I don’t know what to say. I didn’t think I’d feel such excitement and relief. So amazing. So happy. So speechless.

For those of you who didn’t vote for Obama, who didn’t want him—I’m sorry. No hard feelings? It’s just the presidency, after all. And he’s supposed to represent YOU now too. Tell him where you think he should go, and he’ll consider it. He had better, when he’s the President.

I am so excited. I am so going to keel over if I don’t go to bed.

    Fuck the Bradley effect right?

    I’m so ecstatic right now. Better that you have someone who reaches across party lines to embrace the other party.

    Australia loves you just a little bit more.

    As a Canadian it was thrilling to watch the events last night – I can’t imagine what it must be like to be an American this morning! Congratulations!

    Unfortunately, I hope the secret service is on their toes. I would be surprised if nobody tried anything at some point i his term…

    I was so emotional after McCain his concession speech and while Obama was giving his victory speech. I’m looking forward to what he will do :)
