@dr.fil - the first thing i saw when i turned on the television this morning was people in kenya dancing in the streets. i didn't see obama, i didn't see any poll numbers, i didn't see black americans even....i saw africans. my heart lept. i, too, am the american borne child of an african (my mother is from ghana, mind you), and this is undoubtedly a proud day for africans around the world. "africa" stays.
It's amazing what this exceptional man has achieved. I hope those who cannot accept his victory for whatever reason give him a fair chance. He really is something special! By the way Camille, I saw this picture and thought of showing it to you - http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/15/79991615_full.jpg

Uncross those fingers, baby, WE DID IT!
(Still can't believe it. Still crying.)
I am so happy about this!!!
Congratulations to Obama and his supporters. Here's hoping to the best for the future. For the US and the world as such!
PS I object to the label "Africa" in this context ;)

An astounding day I and the entire world will never forget!
@piran - ....and now we are safe from a bunch of disgruntled american "boat people" washing up on our showers! whew!
Truly a day that will be remembered in history.
Let's hope they'll only allow Obama to rule... but if they don't, the precedent is set.
Today pigs fly.
@ camille re piran:
no doubt! i don't think Canada could have coped, had McPalin won. ;)
