There is no difference between voting for someone because of their skin color and voting against them... for the same reason.

[ruin3r]

Thats wrong, I can't think of anybody who voted for Obama solely cause he's black and not cause they liked his message. The same blacks who voted for Obama can, have, and will vote for white candidates too, but the people who oppose Obama based on race would never vote for a non-white under any circumstances. Him being black is icing on the cake to many black voters, not the sole reason they support him. The racists on the other hand are simply being racist. huge difference, not at all the same.

RIGGED!!!!

[akieya02]

Just because someone has more experience then someone else doesn't mean that they are always right. Some of the most "experienced" Presidents have f*cked up the country, so at this point what difference does it make? Obama has earned his right to be where he is..congradulate him and move on.

black or white isn't the subject. We picked on of their selections. Let's see what Illuminates in our future.-peace

[morenitaless]

ugh i cant believe people turned their back on a veteran that was held prisoner of war for so many years!! and turned to an unexperienced man!! lets just see how "good of press he'll make"

i cant wait till this country falls even more! imma laugh at everyone who voted for obama!

[OneRelentlessMind]

Morenitaless, you mean the singing bird of Hanoi Hilton? That hero? Who exchanged information for special treatment? Yeah, how could AMERICA, turn it's back on HIM?!

I'm sure you voted for Bush, and we're laughing twice as hard now, so shut up, bitch!

[morenitaless]

are you high or something?

ur not sure of anything i didnt vote for Bush...

so get that shit straight first...

and who's "we"

speak for your fuckn self!

[McSoustenfrugal]

John McCain turned his back on America when he choose Sarah Palin.

[morenitaless]

Mmmm.... Cant argue with that.

i do think Biden has more experience than Palin.. But i also think McCain has more experience than Obama

[WildlifeArtist64]

McCain has more experience but he is less intelligent and far less functional. His experience has not done that much for him. In this case the better, more highly functional brain, has won.

[incrediblewomen21]

will you will just have to deal with obama just like we dealed with bush

[morenitaless]

not just me... but EVERYONE else in the "UNITED STARTES OF AMERICA" haha

[aubie1011]

no see the difference between dems. and rep. is according to cnn im a right wing extreamist ill use violence to prove my point not really but hey im a crasy teabaggin redneck. you delt with bush through spiting on troops when they came home im sorry i dont like obama for 3 reasons 1 hes a communist 2 he destroyed the constition and 3 hes broke the law it was bad when nixion did it but its ok when fur obama does it

[scarletky]

I am still trying to figure out what being a POW and president has in common. Its oranges and apples. So, he was prisoner, that has nothing to do whatsoever with being a president other than the fact, there has to be hatred deep down and possibly wanting revenge. who knows but I personally am afraid of mccain, he has displayed moments of hatefulness on several occasions.

[TheGrossUncle]

YES!!!!

[3dot141]

FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[giefhel]

I just want to take this time to thank Sarah Palin.  She saved our asses and ruined McCain's campaign and now OBAMA is president!!!!!!!!!!!! wwooooooooooooohoooooooooooooo­oo

[TheNinjaBitchez]

FUXK YA!

[dj99surf]

I think he was crying, that is more obvious.

[snarkwaupaca]

I was there. It was measured at first, then hopeful. The crowd really lit up at 8:50 central when they called Virginia. It never stopped after that. The place was quiet when McCain spoke and they hung on every word Obama said.

[PARKEREAL]

america always makes the right choice when it has to

[rafflegomez]

I was there. I witnessed this history in my hometown. Amazing.

[Discordia5]

i think it became "OK" to make it an "african-american" thing when you see the results of how our black population voted (94-99% in a typical district). Apparently, it was a racial milestone to at least some of them, and he certainly has inspired pride and change in minorities and young people already. Someone finally got them all to vote!

[luvsumtay]

Race is only an issue b/c we have never had anything but white men win the Presidency. Other than that, it doesn't matter, he is the best man for the job, no matter what race he is. Now let's start coming together and stop the bickering once and for all.

[bobbydibobby]

Be Proud, America.

I had doubts (55 million did vote for McCain), but a happy end after all.

Love from Denmark

[weebles100]

oh man i liked McCain

[moscularrulez]

Why?

[jeanette160]

fuck McCain!!!

[MyNameIsBucket]

McCain's a smart man and a capable leader. If you want to blame someone, try the bigoted fundies in the Bible Belt and their harpy queen, Sarah Palin.

Or thank them for losing the election. Whichever.

[yochick]

now all the talking heads are saying what they refused to say before, that barack will be the first a-a president of the united states. they seemed to be too scared to mention his race before, but now that he has won, they feel it's okay.

[GoLuck200]

Why the fuck does he has to focus on Obama being an African-American...for god's sake he won..Now let's stop with this black and white ish!

[oppesdaman]

Oh, sweet victory!!

I have a new found faith in my country! The people have spoken and they want real change. It's time to put our country back on the right track and to restore our reputation throughout the world.

Now, let's get to work!

[laberinth23]

Thank god obama won I still have hope for this country and All my hopes are on him

[NosBlaster]

agreed, well said btw. :)

[Celery459]

Nothing and I mean NOTHING can take away the fact the we won Barack is President of America

[WickedMo13]

We took our country back!!! Just remeber democracy can be highjacked!! dont forget!! but thank god we can take our country back!!! Our founding fathers were fuking genius's!!! 4 year terms only 2 possible!! THANK GOD!!!International praise around the whole world!! I thought the world was literally going to come to an end but now I have hope for the future!!! Because we have one now!!! Im Proud to be an american again, well i always was but now im proud of my fellow americans again. HOPE

[ebiekem]

To all those that elected Obama, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!Now the US has earned my respect.But to all of Obama's detractors (racists, and morons who didn't vote for him cos he is black and has an Arabic name), all i can say is .........UP YOURS!!!!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!­!!

[sadieaugust]

The smell of Draft cards will be in the young voter's mail boxes soon. My thanks goes out to all non-blacks for supporting Obama, this insures that our black children will not sacrific their service for this country. Why? Just look at the thanks McCain got from the American people. Anyway that's what the Black Panthers want from Obama, listen to this video.

[sadieaugust]

World War III will soon start. Give it a few days or weeks and we will see all hell breaking loose in the middle east. Israel will attack the PLO terrorists and guerrillas and then attack Iran before PLO's buddy Obama is Inaugurated because Israel knows that right now the United States has their back. PLO's terrorists will attack the United States out of anger that Israel attacked them.

[Dimensi0nz]

Lol I agree

[KNA4life1990]

hell it has already started im 17 and about to join the airforce and i wasnt going to join if mccain would have won so i thanked god that he won

[trenis]

[tedtedted87]

[richie19190]

[REDGHOST8888]

[dandeville]

[jpickles]

Excellent reporting and great videos throughout the campaign TPM media. I really enjoyed your coverage of the candidates.

Congratulations Obama/Biden, president and vice president of USA!

[pathos1983]

I will never be ashamed of my middle name.

[legalass17]

Oh you lucky dawg to be there in Chicago to celebrate! Good for you. Hope you had fun.

[pathos1983]

It is your right to hate the president. (I just regained my right after eight years of grateful service)

[animeownage86]

wow I haven't felt this good in a decade. I'm so excited! UNITED WE STAND!

[JediMaster6788]

I am a republican and voted for John McCain. But as a citizen I must respect my President no matter what party. I don't really like Obama's views but he is my president now and we must all respect him. This is america, we must respect our leaders. I praise President Obama on his win and HOPE he will be good for this country. We must all come together now and respect our President.

Congratulations on your win President Obama

[Gangstar612]

This man is great American, hats off Mr JEDIMASTER6788 even we disagree on issues but still we must respect each other as Obama suppporter I thank you for your open mindness.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2009

[ErickKing91]

Great Video!!!

YES WE CAN!!!

[Slayix312]

AMERICA FUCK YEAH!

[Y2ANJ]

thanks to tpm for the excellent coverage.

[uteseny]

this is the greatest night ever.

[chris627]

Get ready for some very bitter republicans lol. This is amazing, Obama will do a great job! :D

[jkdsifu]

Obama has won! For Obama-haters - we put up with 8 years of your dumb choice, George W. Bush, so stop and let the smart Americans (the majority) have their choice - Obama - who is a million times better than Bush ever will be. Making fun of his name shows your ignorance and stupidity. Go to school and learn about the world outside of your small town. Fox News has got you so brainwashed, its obvious!

[pathos1983]

Free money is what they see. (Try living underwater for months at a time with no phone calls or internet.)

[animeownage86]

I sense much hate in you.

[JediMaster6788]

was that towards me

[animeownage86]

lol, no Jedi but I find it ironic that being a trek fan and wars hater that I too will put such things aside Obama must be rubbing off on me.

[pathos1983]

I know how to live off of nothing. Lets see how you do the same.

[animeownage86]

You don't understand and your too heartless to care. I'm tiered of talking to people like you it's pointless. Obama won so I don't have to argue this anymore so instead of insulting people and causing more division make the best of the situation and help to repair the damage done by Bush and to make this country better then ever.

[weareskyscrapers]

i have never, ever been as proud of my country as i am right now.

[butters226]

I have never, ever been as proud of my cock up your asshole right now. Great fun

[SenatorJohnMcSame]

bye-bye Bush

[corbaman]

Back in 1929, Congress passed a law moving up the Presidential Inauguration - in order to get rid of Hoover faster.

Anyone else think that it might be time to do that again?

[saiochi]

Yeah, it's time for Hoover to go! :D

[galaxyworldwide877]

Thank you Sarah Palin, we couldn't have done it without you!

[michaelbook18]

says the man who spells "cousin" cuzin.

who's fucking who's cousin redneck?

[MellieMel062689]

eat a dick!! bitch!! get over it!!!

[wkh19890101]

Too bad I couldn't vote because I'm not a citizen

it's okay though, I covered my friend's shift so he can go vote for Obama.

President Barack Hussein Obama :]

Yes we can!

[CliveSinclairZX]

Way to go America! This is such a huge step for our world. :D

[michaelbook18]

[hispanicarab]

hell yeah! i'm naming my son hussain.

[blair227]

Happy days are here again.

[blair227]

[blair227]

No congratulations to us real Americans ratfuck.

[animeownage86]

"No congratulations to us real Americans ratfuck"... and that is why McCain/Palin failed.

[grymking]

Good for you america....i had almost lost faith in you guys.

[NickWoha]
