I saw history being made tonight
This is what makes this country great – you are able to believe in great ideas. Tonight America elected the idea of “change”.
By electing Obama this country has shown that it has moved passed many of its prejudges. Not just that of skin color but also of being suspicious of immigrants with strange names and accents. Being one of those I must say – this gives me hope for a better future for my children.
I saw a huge change among the religious vote this year. Church people are tired of being milked for their vote only to see nothing happen after that. They stopped believing all the ridiculous rumors that use to sway opinion.
Young people (including young Christians) want real change. They are suspicious of Washington DC and of Wall street. They don’t believe in the old political machine.
If the new administration stick to their campaign promises this will be the best administration in a century – if not it would make it the worst… Because if you have lost hope in “change” itself – what remains?

It is a proud moment for America. This is historical. I hope all Americans will come together and embrace this change. Yes, we can! United we stand, divided we fall!

I am glad to hear you say you saw a change in the religious vote – based on the “Obama is the anti-christ” email forwards I was getting and so many of my older Christian friends staunching supporting McCain (and Palin) I was beginning to get pretty cynical about evangelicals. Our hope is NOT in politicians – although I think Obama will change the “feeling” of America, which is a really good thing.
Being in South Africa right now, almost everyone is excited about Obama. We posted some clips and quotes from the local media:
