Obama Is President-Elect

Martin Luther King will be dancing in his grave now...the dream has come true. this is a new America... the Latinos,native and Asian Americans can now raise their head in Pride and say,YES WE CAN... I saw Oprah shed tears...tears are loved when they are for joy...no shame. akabeks

I was wonderin'---idly, of course---when someone'd first mention (albeit indirectly) Obama's win at neopoet. I can now say that for the first time in my life I will feel truly represented by an American president (Kennedy being sometimes a close second). My tears surged at sight of Jackson's. They surged again at sight of others' crying. And so many of them. And I refer both to tears and to individuals that spill them down their faces. Tears of relief, of joy. In terms of feelings, I join with the world, a one that so needs relief. It's been too long. Thanx, Chuck

been bawlin my eyes out. Thanks for taking me to You Tube. what inspiration and spirit! Mark Man thinks this.

There is no way I'm clicking that link at work. From the sound of it, I'd be a blubbering mess after watching it - will save that for home. Couldn't watch any of the coverage last night, either. Just waited until I woke up this morning to a new world. Thank you for writing this. I'm sure there are many people sharing your thoughts this morning. ~ Ronda

no matter what our political feelings over it is, we need to now unite and try to make sure things are done in Washington. It was a great election and a victory for a lot of things and proof that America has come a long way since the civil rights movement. Something everyone can be proud of. Now, let's see what is done.

Last night we witnessed a nation make history. we can't disscuss a man till we see him in action. I say we unite behind him and rebuild the land of oppurtunity. Republicans , Democrats and others are seperate ideaologies but at the end of the day we are still America.

The darn church has been so corrupt. How can ya really seperate the two if you have like a Catholic president or whatever religion? Mark Man thinks this.

As there was never intended to be a total separation of church and state. It is only meant to preclude and forbid the state from designating a religion as England did with it's kings. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." This doesn't require prayer in school or in public building, but it also does not prohibit the practice there of. I personally don't care if they pray or not pray. It is everyone's right to do so or not do so. It does not mean religious people have the right to impose their belief nor does it give non religious persons the right to deny that right to them. Just my take is all. No argument. BTW, I agree on the corruption of the church. It is why I don't go. Respectfully, Rett: "Life is like a beach.
