Comments on: The World Welcomes Obama's Victory

A Log Of Reactions From Around The Globe To Barack Obama's Election Win

[airboatboy1]

It seems like the whole world thinks about as much of Bush as Americans do. Amazing someone can screw things up so bad in 8 years. Looks like everyone is looking forward to the day he''s gone.

Today we are prouder, stronger, more respected as a nation. Bravo not only to Obama, but to all who supported him.

And condolences to the scum who thought they could rule the US by fear, intimidation, negativity, and through convincing people to give up hope. The people have again felt their power and money and corporate greed are no match for them.

And given the penchant of the "rest of the world" (mainly Europe) throughout history to get into war after war, I''''d hardly consider them a reliable source of advice on political issues.

unlike yourself, as you are the difference maker in world politics!

It is so wonderful to have the world look at us with respect and admiration again. To look at us as a place where anything is possible. Where any American citizen can go as far as their ablilies will allow. That was always the beacon that drew millions of people from all over the world to the United States. That your blood-line, how much money your family had, your race, your religion, none of those things would stand in your way if you had a dream and worked hard to achieve it. This is the America that we love and I am so proud that my country resoundingly lived up to that American dream.

Correction. Mr. Obama will be our first "Bi-Racial" president. I would love to hear him say to the american people; I am a black and white man. I share my blood with both sides, and proud of it. God blessed me with the best from each side of the racial divide and I will bring this country together as one. We will erase racisim. I will be your president and America, I am your american "brother."

Okay so lets address this ridiculous issue of race Posted by finally2008 at 10:14 PM : Nov 05, 2008

GROAN! Would y''''all just GIVE UP on this lame argument? NOBODY CARES!!! Why is it so hard for you to understand that???

How''''s this for a compromise: He''''s the BLACKEST President since Bill Clinton.

And he''''s probably blacker than Clinton, even WITH his saxaphone.

LOL. Good point! I think it is grand that he is bi-racial. If there was any suspicion that he might not like white folks, that is nonsense because the people that he loved most in his early life were white. If there was any suspicion that he might not like black folks, that is nonsense, because he IS black. Grand day for America. Grand day for the WORLD. I am so happy that I am on the RIGHT side of history on this one.

The world welcomes Obama. Is that Iran''s welcome listed below found on Reuters.com

Iran warns U.S. military after Obama win
By Parisa Hafezi
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran warned U.S. forces in Iraq on Wednesday that it would respond to any violation of Iranian airspace, a message analysts said seemed directed at the new U.S. president-elect more than neighboring American troops.
The Iranian army statement, reported by state radio, came after a cross-border raid last month by U.S. forces into Syria, a move that was condemned by Damascus and Tehran.
But an Iranian politician said the timing suggested it was directed at Barack Obama, who won Tuesday''s U.S. vote, more than the U.S. military, and might reflect concern by hardliners in Iran who thrived on confrontation with Washington.
Obama has said he would toughen sanctions on Iran but has also held out the possibility of direct talks to resolve rows, which include a dispute over Tehran''s nuclear ambitions.

Mr. Obama, President-elect, I don''t envy your first monday in the Oval Office.
