This is not a thread about politics, just a reminder about the process so get out and vote. I'm watching CNN and hearing reports of people waiting in record long waits to cast their ballots. Time is running out in the east so do your best!!!
VOTE NOW OR SHUT UP!!!!!

I'm hanging around for a bit too, though I'm going to have to go to bed before anything is decided. Yes, it is exciting! Yes, it is special!
Cathy has promised to call as soon as we know for sure.
I LOVE the process!!! My Mom was the Supervisor of Elections for our county...she would have had a blast watching all the excitement tonight. The best part is that SO many people are involved this time around. The peaceful transition of power...a beautiful thing!! Cathy
I'm headed to the store to grab a bottle of champagne..................I feel a celebration comin' on!!!!!!!!!!

It's all over, but the crying. Can you say LANDSLIDE? History was made tonight, and I'm proud to have been part of it. Time for this country to move in a new direction.

Today is a very historic occasion. The US can be very proud of itself today, finally the divisions of race have been broken and the world celebrates with you!

Thats all folks
Oh happy day!

Oh yes now the wine will flow like beer. We can all be happy now. All the problems of the world will be solved. Change, Hope,Hope for change. I won't have to worry about my mortgage any more or how I'm going to afford gas. Yes I'm crying. Tears of Joy for the Messiah. He has come.

Nobody is doubting that the new President will have a hard job, both with domestic matters and foreign matters. Managing people's expectations will be hard.
Naturally not everyone will be happy with the result of the election, but there are many positives to be taken from the US election, whatever your political persuasion.
This election really motivated people to get out vote and get their voices heard. It attracted young people, minorities and others who had never been politically involved before. We in the west have sometimes got too complacent about the right to vote and may of us have been turned off from voting and from politicians in general. High voter turnout and political engagement is a good thing.
What America does have the right to be proud of is the fact they have become the first Western country to elect a candidate from a minority / mixed ethnic group to the top job. That should offer inspiration to many. Here in Europe we appear to be a long way from that at the moment, so that is a way that your country has led the Western world.
I hope you can understand these sentiments which are not intended to be contentious.

I'll probably have to worry about your mortgage now Jim as we "spread the wealth around".
Wow Bob..I'm shocked to read this kind of hatred!! I think you are wrong on SO many levels, I'm finding it hard to choose where to begin!! I don't know where your fear comes from. I know many gay people. They were born gay to 2 straight parents..so there goes the concept that they "turn" children. They are equally as good at parenting as straights. If not, it's NOT because they are gay!!! NO group has a corner on morality. The basic tenets are held by individuals, not just those who THINK they know the "right" way. In fact, isn't that kind of attitude the antithesis of what most Westrn religions teach. Love, tolerance, helping others??? I know I'm not going to change any minds, but I couldn't let go without comment. VERY saddened by this! Cathy
p.s. I'll let George respond to the Amsterdam comments since he lives there!!!!
