I honestly am just astonished that, in my lifetime, we elected a black man. I NEVER, EVER thought I would see this day!
This is so, so, so exciting.
And what a wonderful, uplifting, and hopeful speech.

It is a great day for African-Americans and history has been made, but I still worry about all the unanswered questions surrounding him. I fear for the future of our great country, which may not survive this.

Yep. Hard to believe that in the space of a couple of generations, you can go from having segregation to trusting a man with a job of that importance where his skin colour is no longer a significant factor. It's a credit to this generation of Americans that they've managed to break away from that.
Congratulations to Mr Obama. He has a very hard job on his hands on several fronts. I hope he's up to it.

'Survive' ? What - you mean like the US may end up in uncontrollable and pretty much irreperable civil or economic turmoil like places like Burkino Fasso, Iraq, Somalia or Zimbabwe?
Get some perspective. You dont know how lucky you are. If your country's economy is up sh*t creek, then it'll be the same (if not worse) pretty much everywhere else.

Gazza,
Obama's ties to his radical paster for 20 years, the association with a known terrorist, Ayers, and with known Palenstinian supporters in his camp, not to mention the Acorn scandal, and the entire question around is he or is he not muslim, should have left more than enough doubts to keep him from being elected to lead our country, a place, where there was overwhelming evidence to put away OJ, who so obviously was guilty, but it was doubts that kept him free. And now, a generation so taken by empty rhetoric and no gameplan has thrown away doubts (and the memories of 9/11) to usher in this historic wave of change. All Christians, who believe the end is near, are living in great fear of what's ahead here.

Indirectly, the Stones are also involved in this. They were very important in taking the Black music to the whites, and thus making the black culture mainstream. Without this music, it would probably take longer.
