How do you guys feel about Obama being elected?
A few of my mates from New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco are sooo happy and everyone they know (well most are absolutely on a high)!
I can tell you that almost everyone (95%) of us Australian's are incrediblyy happy for Americans, and especially happy that Obama won, instead of Mccain and Palin, I mean I don't mind Mccain (even though he'd be the oldest president in history) it was just really stupid (probably more stupid than Bush) Palin that ticked everyone off I geuss.
But yeah Europe, Japan, Australia, China, Italy, Germany (i know for a fact) aree alll ECSTATIC that Obama won! I mean EVERYONE and i mean everyone in Sydney were huddled around Televisions, radio's in car's, even at JB HiFi (an electronics shop) near my work was fulll of people trying to watch Obama's speech.
Most people here thought America was just too corupt, and too ignorant to vote Obama, but you proved the world wrong and really have as Colin Powell remarked "not only [] electrify the US, but electrify the entire World!"
All I can say is I think the world's perception of America has TOTALLY changed and I mean it just feels like where more one world now, it's weird but yeah it's a great feeling we're still talking about Obama and America lol
Congratulations!
