I was moving tthrough a village here in my country and discovered how Children still suffer from hard labour. It was not only that which made me feel bad but the way parasites like lices and giggers still eat the feets and hands of these children. I one house I entered, there were seven of such children from the same mother who was at that time pregnant. I wonder what their future could be. Please tellhow to napproach such people in order to get them out their situation given the fact they become very violent when you approach them.

It's sad that there are still people in this world who fears the color of a person skin. In today's society, there is no true COLOR or should I say RACE. Every race is entangled with some other race. Give the man a chance to try and fix what the last 8 years screwed up and couldn't fix. Give him the years, and be the so call Amercian you claim to be, where every man/woman has the right to achieve whatever goal he/she has set for him/her self.

Praise the Lord! The country will finally be rid of this Republican leadership and big oil people such as the Bushes and the Cheneys ruining the economy with outsourcing, corporate welfare, unfair wages and practices, "higher than ever in my lifetime" gas prices, and causing our soldiers to die in a futile war based on greediness of wanting to take possession of oil that is not theirs..! A change and new day is coming!!! I voted for Barack Obama because he was the best and most trustworthy candidate. Elated to finally have a gracious, intelligent, and classy black first lady and two beautiful little African-American children with their puppy residing in the White House after over 200 years of seeing all lily white families roaming the hallways. YES WE DID! All races united for once to do the right and most sensible thing. UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL!

He is just one of the steps in the begining of the return of Christ. Though he worries me the return of Christ is something I look forward to. It balances out to be a good thing. God will take care of His people.

I really am disappointed because I really feel that if he wasnt black he wouldnt have even been considered as an option. I think that his values arent that of this countries. he didnt have enough experience to be a president. he was just a smooth talker. and I believe because of how people didnt want to be considered racist. that they voted for him. instead of looking at how short of a term he was in the different political positions and listening to how he didnt know what he was talking about when he talked. I thought that he was immature and unintelligent. especially when it comes to war and abortion. he doesnt care about our country or our founding fathers. or our god that this country was founded on. so I think that this is bad very bad and soon everyone else will realize that I am right.

Gee, I'm wondering about your true reasoning for voting for McCain .... It really doesn't matter if you own a business or not, I own a catering business in Philadelphia and I too have done a lot of community work, am a black women with an education and was for Hilliary Clinton. I pay insurance, bills, donate to charities and I also see the abuse of government funding, not only to children but to the nation in a whole and it all happened under your (you are white and republican) republican party rule for 8 years. Voting in the United States, lady, is a privilege and no matter who wins you exercised your right to vote, but than again, you received the opportunity to vote long before any of my people, didn't you?

Everyone who carries a dream within them will recognize the need for change and a true visionary will go against the odds to bring about that change so as to ensure the fulfillment of the vision. This is what i see in Obama and i believe that if we're all people with dreams we'll embrace what Obama ha done and extract valuable lessons form this HISTORIC event. I believe in Obama not because he is black as I am, but because he has shown the world the power of having a dream and going for it at all costs. What has happened so far makes him DESERVE all my respect and i would encourage every American to rally behind him.
President Obama, you're the man!!!

I am simply amazed and grateful that people in the United States have finally risen up and elected someone who gives us hope that everyone in this country can be treated fairly and with humanity. For the first time in eight long years I am proud to be an American.

Every one deserve a chance to prove themselves no matter of there color of there skin. Well the pressure is on President Obama. He will be in control of Trillons of dollars and thats what makes him and his staff so powerfull. He will probly be tested By Prime minister Putin soon after he takes office. I think Obama will be ready. I just hope that he doesn't have an adulterous affair with an assistance.The american people are so sick of our polititians having adulterous affairs in office and then tell the public it is non of there business.Your a public servant and you take tax payers money you have a moral obligiation to your citizens to conduct your self proffesionaly.

As a married, middle-income, African-American mother of 3 adult sons and 2 grandsons, I realize that Obama's win probably will not affect my day to day life. What the win does mean is that I can honestly tell my grandchildren that in America, it is possible for them to be president of the United States of America; I can mean it when I say it. I also means that minorities and underachievers can no longer blame the "man" for holding them back. Young African American males can stand a little taller and prouder knowing that the person holding the highest office in America understands them. God Bless America!!!

i am very happy that barack obama is making history!

I am surprised that anyone that works in the field of community health would vote for John McCain. The very last thing that socio-economically challenged people need is to be denied proper Sex Ed classes in school and have their right to choose to have an abortion taken away. Abstinence only education simply does not work. Many women died of illegal abortions because they were in desperate straits- Roe v. Wade protects these rights. I am so glad that the people of America made a stand to have their voices heard.

Yep, get ready for higher capital gains tax!! Change that someone can believe in...but not me.

I don’t know where you get your information about America, but as an American, let me clear up some of your misconceptions:

All Americans have equal rights under the law already, regardless of race. All Americans have equal opportunities to succeed, for the most part, already. Some Americans have better opportunities to succeed provided by government programs. These are selected “protected” minority groups. Some Americans choose not to take advantage of the opportunities given to them, but our laws do not dictate their choices.

It will not be difficult for reasonable white and protestant Americans to accept and deal legally with the new administration. There may be a few ridiculous examples of human debris that act immorally and illegally against the administration, just as there are black people and non-protestants that sometimes act immorally and illegally against Presidents.

The atmosphere here is always “warm”. That is what our healthy democratic republic is all about. We have opinions. We express them and we vote and we send representatives to Washington to work on our behalf. There is a certain amount of tension in this kind of change. But change and upheaval is healthy in our system.

I believe many states outside our nation admire President-elect Obama because they believe he will act in ways that will benefit them and their agendas. These actions may or may not benefit Americans. Time will tell.
