maybe I was wrong about Obama.
I wish him luck, and I hope he'll fix the country.

I bet a bottle of 1996 Perrier Jouet champagne that America could not elect a women or a non-white. I am incredibly impressed with what the American people have done today regardless of whether Obama is the right man for the job or not. I think America opened a lot of eyes today and has made a lot of friends.
It is refreshing to see a representative of the US who appears intelligent, inclusive, dignified and statesmanlike.
I hope he will make you proud.

Well, done. The world expects great things.
Most of the world hasn't read a line of his blueprint for change. As someone who has read it, I expect him to be much better than his predecessor, but I don't expect "great things".
That said, I hope he actually does these great things and wish him all the best. 🙂

say that the world hasn't forgotten what Bush has done, the hundreds
of thousands that have died at his hand and those that voted for him
either out of ignorance or selfishness.
America has shown that it can recognise right from wrong but it is yet
to show humility.
...and thus give time the satisfaction and save a handle for detraction.
edit. You're terribly welcome to contradict me if you want.

With that being said, with all I have read this morning, I can only hope the Obama supporters would have been as humble as McCain supporters on this site had Obama lost.
