Has elected an African American Man.
I'm proud of that.
I didn't vote for him.
But I'm proud of our country for coming as far as we have.

We live in an amazing time and we are blessed beyond our wildest imaginations to be a part of this nation
Watching the coverage is just so moving. I can't even swallow from the lump in my thoart.
Crying. Seriously. Cannot wait to hear him speak next!
I am speechless.... for so many reasons.
I am so proud of our country, from where we've been to where we are now.
hopefully , everyone will rally around our elected candidate no matter who their choice was - as that is what we need to do.
I am just so proud to be an American!
Very well said! I agree.
I agree with you Lizzy. I did not vote for him, nor do I agree with his politics, but I think it is truly an amazing moment in history...to see a black man elected president. I am proud to be an american!!
DITTO DITTO DITTO
I feel the same exact way, now why can't I get those around me to feel this way as well? Am I truly the only open minded person near me?
I am sorry that you are having a rough time. Heres to a better day.
I agree.
No, I did not vote for him either.
But I am proud that today we will have our first black president!
Amazing.
I know I keep saying that, but it's true.
Amazing.
Ok, so where does you campaign stand now?
Should I keep the badge for 2012?
Have a GREAT day!
I'm thankful that I can pray for the president.
I almost wrote you in on the ballot. I sat there for a long time....
My hope comes from the Lord, not the president. He is still in control.
See, this is what truly confuses me. How does a man get labeled "black" just because he was fathered by a black person who was then absent from his life? My nephew has a white father and a black mother--I do believe the proper term to describe this is "biracial."
And I'm not playing the "race card" either. Because my man is not Obama...nor McCain...it's JESUS CHRIST. Who was not a white nor black man Himself. But still...I'd prefer to hear this guy referred to has what he is--the son of a white person and a black person. There's nothing wrong with that.
This was truly a historic election. I hope we can make the most of this opportunity.
Bravo, Lizzy.
I left you an award on my blog. It's long overdue. :)
Ditto to everything you said. (Lula makes a good point, though; I guess it's up to each person how they want to identify themselves.)
We are truly blessed to live in a country where a concession and an acceptance could be made in the manner in which they were last night. After a campaign that left me totally uninspired, I honestly was in awe after both speeches.
This was not my campaign, nor my election. But there is certainly a huge number of people who believe differently today about their opportunities than they did a year ago. They may or may not know that these opportunities are a gift from God, and were never dependent on an Obama victory. I pray that many will ultimately recognize this, and that they will be energized and empowered to do good.
(And I just really want to know if Lula wore her Lizzy thong to the poll!)
So because we've come so far, there should be no more need for Affirmative Action ... right?!
I'm proud, too. And I've got a "plaid" pic posted today. Come see it!
I had happy tears streaming down my face when I saw those electoral votes pass 270. I hope he eventually can bring the hope, faith and excitement to you as he has to me!
Pretty monumental, isn't it?
We will all be ok :D
I'm So Proud of our country. And sooooooo sleepy. Stayed up way too late watching the returns. Sounds like a nap is in order today!
I agree. Didn't vote for him, but I'm so happy I was alive to see this historical moment...and I'm making sure my kids will know it's significance.
I remember when you took your girls to see the President (I believe it was Clinton wasn't it). That one post you did really opened my eyes to how things had become. I want my kids to ALWAYS respect the office of the President, even if they disagree with the person holding it. I must always model that for them.
Very historical...very happy about it.
SO proud to be an American!
I agree with you and some of the others...
I did not vote for him.
I am not a particularly huge fan of him.
I do not agree with him on MANY things.
But I am excited to think that my child is being born into a world where racism is not what it once was.
Amen. The United States of America has come a long way. Let freedom ring!
Here Here! Amen! We're singing the same song sista! Although your song is much shorter and to the point than my own. (My eyes are green with envy.)
I didn't vote for him either. I have very mixed feelings. I agree it is high time people look beyond race/color/whatever and elect a candidate they believe in. I just hope that is what they did.
I agree! I didn't vote for him either, but I am very proud that this has happened and I support him fully!
Oh my, I'm not sure you even know how awesome you are :)
Amen sister. Amen! I heart you!
It's an amazing accomplishment. Sadly here in GA it is being touted as the only accomplishment.
