History in the Making - The Reaction to OBAMA's win!

Within 10 minutes of the announcement that Obama had won enough electoral votes to secure the US presidency, people around the world were already voicing their opinion, obviously following along with as much anticipation as myself.

Check out some of the status updates from my friends on Facebook (again... this is only 10 minutes in). Also note that names have been conceiled for privacy (no, I don't really know that many Jacks and Jills):

Jill wonders where Conservatives escape to? North Korea has both aggressive foreign policy and protectionist ideals.

Jill is rockin' the obama vote !! yay !!

Jack hopes that Obama follows thru with his idea of putting together a BCS Playoff in College football. that would be GREAT!

Jack is still tired, but managed to do a little jog for Obama in spite of it all!

Jill is rockin' the obama vote !! yay !!

Jill says 'let the change begin'.

Jack is expecting the next four years under your candidate to be blamed on George Bush like usual.

Jack is Laughing because he knows nothing will change. Bring on the Tax Raise!

Jill is bouncing off the ceiling, shouting for joy: YES!!!

Jill went to the bathroom to have a wee bit of a victory cry.

Jack : Holy Wow.

Jill congratulates Obama.

Jack BBC news: Projected Electoral Vote for McCain: 155, Obama: 333. McCain's concession speech said it pretty well.

Jill ..Obama is the new president of the Unites States of America.

Jill is ecstatic!!! Why is she at work? She wants to celebrate!

Jill is excited to be watching history being made, but hoping Obama reconsiders his position on free trade w/Colombia. :-(.

Jill is now allowed to return to the States.

Jack is watching CNN and congratulating all Americans!

Jill is no longer proud to be an American and is very disappointed in her fellow Americans.

- We paid for it with Carter and now we will pay for it with Obama. Palin is the future of this party and she will win in 2012. We live and die as a country, even if we have to feel the pain from the lazy stains in this country. The hard working make this country work and will keep doing so.
