Even if some people don''t like the fact that the Obamas, a black family is moving into the highest position in the US, we do have to admit one thing. The Obamas represent the best of what our country has to offer. They show the world what it really means to live in and be a part of the USA.

This interview shows that we made the right choice this year in electing an intelligent man who will be working to repair the damages made in the last 8 years. The world already see us in a differently.

The more I see Obama speak, the more I beleive that we are on the right track to advance into the 21st century. He represents the future of the US and of the world. That makes me a very proud American today.

There is a light at the end of that dark tunnel and there''s no doubt in my mind that Obama will do his best to lead us to it. I just thank God that President-elect Obama wasn''t afraid to take this very difficult job at this difficult time. I''m also very thankful that he and his family decided to lead by example.

The USA is a wonderful country. I was born in Cuba & raised in Indpls IN. It''s so exciting to experience this period of the US History.This is a very exciting time for the USA. President-elect Obama has electrified the US and the global community, like no other US president has done. President-elect Obama has my support through my community and environment involvement. I pray for the safety and health to Barack, Michelle, Malia, & Natasha. Gracias a dios.

I congratulate the Obamas from the bottom of my heart. I find them truly amazing. Barack with his calm, charismatic, caring yet resilient character. Michelle with her strentgh & her passion for life & family. I wish them both well at the White House. They epitomize what we are all searching for in a family. I am glad they are the ones that are going to represent this country. And now the world will look upon us and realize what Americans really want. Barack, like you said, we are not expecting that you fix everything but that you try your best to do so. It''s good to hear from you that are going to try. We are counting on you to hold your word. Don''t worry about the girls or your family, as long as both as you (Michelle & you) remain as true as you can be, your family will be rock solid as you wish. And the girls will become wonderful people as well. Thanks to you, politics has come down to a level where everyone can feel like they can make a difference. I hope the best for you all...

We as American must support our president. He will lead, but we must get on this train together. Let''s forget about our skin color and lets be Americans!

Dear Mister President Elect, What a breath of fresh air you and Michelle are. I have spent the last year hoping and praying the Americans would see what a wonderful, genuine, intelligent, and kind soul you are and see that you are what are country and world needs right now. I find myself daily wondering what does Mr. Obama ask of us today and wishing I could roll my sleves up and get to it as a proud American. I pray for your safety and health and that of your wonderful family.

I''m so relieved that Barack is leading us during these tumultuous times--his calmness and confidence is reassuring. I loved Barack''s comments about his mother-in-law. So genuine and funny.

I always believed that we would elect Barack Obama if we had grown up enough to deserve him. Congratulations and thanks to all who helped make this moment possible.
