  • The fact that literally millions of people from around the world, perhaps100's of millions, came together at a single moment and jumped and down for joy and hugged one another is a moment I will NEVER forget.

  • We'll see how the folks in Chicago react in 2012 if Obama ends up being like Jimmy Carter.

  • I swear you could almost hear the collective sigh of relief from the country when it was official. After 8 years of president shit-for-brains, this was truly a welcome sight! :-)

  • I feel sorry for those who didn't enjoy that night. WOW!

  • one of my favorite (short) vids on youtube!

  • yes....cuz jindal has done such a good job cleaning up katrina, right?

    you people are so idiotic..you'll probaby put palin on the ticket again

    THE REAGAN ERA IS OVER

    THE LIBERAL ERA HAS BEGUN AGAIN

    YES WE HAVE

    YES WE WILL

  • Nothing helps the conservatives more than a Liberal who fails.

  • Liberals never fail. Jimmy Carter was the only one. WE always end up cleaning up your messes.

  • Why is there 52 million dollars in the stimulus going toward STD prevention? Why isn't Obama talking about his exit date in Iraq anymore? Why isn't Obama doing the tax cuts he promised? Why did he appoint people in his office who owe over 100k to the IRS? Why is he wasting a 70% approval rating on living out his lies?

    Ignorance is why Obama got elected.

  • U MAD

  • Random guy at :18!

  • Random dude at 0:18 is awesome

  • This is REALLY WONDERFUL!! Thank you for sharing this!!! 5 Stars!....:) Karen

  • i was there, this was a truely amazing night, when he took the lead initially, i watched a woman hug and kiss her 2 children and say "its happening kids, its gonna happen, i have faith!"

  • Proud to be an American.

  • You should be. America has proved that they want to be at peace with the rest of the world.

  • i'm 12 and was just born about 6 months b4 clinton was elected so this was the best part of my life

  • Its like New Year's Eve!

  • haha, so true

  • Thank u Obama!

    God bless u.

    I wish we had a politician like u in Italy.

    I feel change in the air...

    I'm not expecting miracles but lots of positive changes are coming up.

    I'm sure. Yes we can!Yes we will!

  • McCain received 90% of his votes from whites. A party that relies on 90% support from whites and the fact that w/in 30 yrs non-whites will be the majority, simple math tells you that the stupid irrational fear and hatred that motivates the current GOP will doom it to failure because it can not win elections by using racial divisions as one of it's election platforms. You neo-cons need to shut up, regroup, and put together a party that looks like something that has come from the 21st century.

  • Okay ITZAHAZYLIFE you got me on the presumption that u support Obama. I'm busted. But, that's why I asked if u support him below. I don't believe in nation building or spreading ourselves thin. But, you can't possibly think that war is never ever ever justified. Obama should get blown away. It was right to go after Hitler. We were kicking Communist Vietnam butt until we squatted there and sent black men on the front line to try and exterminate them. That was legit war turned to attmpt genocide

  • you know whatever the fuck your problem is dont take it out on me here if you have a problem with Obama because he is black pff you can go join what little is left of your group i wont voice it.. it puts a bad taste in my mouth so and yes i know exactly what Obama plans to do he been saying it every time but McCain has been changing his song so shut up and deal with it

  • i love these grant park videos so much.

  • ø¤º°¨¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø„¸¨°º¤ø

    ¨°º¤ø„ President „ø¤º°¨

    ¸„ø¤º°¨ Obama ``°º¤ø„¸

    ø¤º°¨¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø„¸¨°º¤ø

    Copy and paste if you are proud

  • Congrats you guys. You did it. You're all a little bit more respected from your little brtohers to the North.

  • Dumb stupid yanks!! You were the envy of the world and threw it all away electing a Robert Mugabe president. Well when you're hit in 2009 don't expect us Brits to get involved. We respected President Bush this one is just the biggest fraud and conman that God ever put on earth! You've just made the biggest mistakes of your lives. Heartbreaking!!!!!

  • So you respected a man who not only destroyed it's own country, but dragged your nation into a pointless war, based on lies? Good job.

  • ur a joke...seriously though man, whatever ur spattering on about is so hollow-minded i can't even put it into words

    "we respected president bush"

    i guess that's all i really have to say after all

  • It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation when it comes to US foreign policy because, really, there's never been anything like it before. The world only thinks in terms of empires and such, which America has never had (if you want to argue that US bases and " US cultural domination" are the same thing, then you don't understand what empires are). Personally, I'd like to pull out of every country and see that money spent on universal healthcare and free education at all levels for

  • Americans. Unfortunately the world has a nasty habit of blowing itself to hell and the moment the US stops attempting to solve everyone's problems, it gets worse. I'm not defending US intervention in int'l affairs, like i said bring the troops home and spend my tax money fixing the problems in my own damn country. Iraq never should.have.happened. Iraq should never have been created by the British and the war never should have happened. USA; the hand that feeds; World: mouth that bites

  • well we aren't an empire in the traditional sense. but, we are still an empire in my opinion. we rule thru intimidation..everyone shares a mutual undersdtanding of what we're capable of. we are also an empire in the sense that we manipulate economies and rule thru the use of business moreso than the military. but, we won't hesitate to use the military for special interests when necessary..i think our government and foreign policy has a lot of skeletons in the closet.

  • We most definately have skeletons, and quite a few. In terms of economic manipulation, Japan in the 1980's is the all-time champion: shamelssly selling below production costs with gov't support to eliminate the competition and so forth. In terms of intimidation, we're capable of turning this planet into a pile of rubble...as are several other countries, all of which exercise restraint. Like I said can't wair til gov't backs off and let's someone else babysit the world and spend my taxes in US

  • I was never ashasmed to be an america just ashasmed of the way things was bein done.

  • all those who appose this new turn inevents i suggest you move somewhere els you arnt wanted here anymore you and your racism racism is in the past now your in the new world so accept or leave if you try anything you will only be hated and cast down for it and you will die =) i asure you do not fuck with us we are the citizens of the new world

  • Oh yeah! We elect a black president. Now racism is cured! No one will ever be racist again. Whatever dude! Guess you are swinging from Obama's nutsack like the rest of the people who voted for him but don't have a clue as to what he will do. While you're at it, why don't u entlighten us and tell us what policies he'll implement and how. Oh ya, yer too stupid to know or care about what B.O. did, will do, or promises. You just voted for him cuz it's cool. Again: whatever dude.

  • From Israel:

    I am so happy,

    U finally made the right choice, it seems like he is the right man at the right time, hope he could finally bring peace to the world, talk to everyone and try, and if he fails, they are to blame, and the whole world would be unite with the USA, U must stay the number 1 country in the world for the sake of us all.

    Love U Americans, proud to be your friend.

  • That's funny--he's a sellout to Israel and anti-Israel and has a bunch of Israel hating friends/co-workers/associates and you are HAPPY? You should be an American young voter--they think just like you. I hope he changes his anti-Israel ways though. I love Israel myself!

  • I am no longer ashamed to be American.

  • Ashamed toward who? Are you embarassed toward our enemies who hate and want to slit yor own throat? Now you make our enemies (like Hezbolah) happy and you feel better? You're a Kamakaze, sick twisted, suicidal freak. There's plenty of wrongs with America, but there's wrongs with mankind worldwide. As a whole we're the most generous country in the world. If u don't realize that, you are a hypocrite and dumbass. U benefit every day from the good side of America, idiot.

  • ur so wrong it's sad..america fucks over poorer countries, puts dictators in power, funds terrorist groups, and so much more..we rape countries for their resources, and then kick the crumbs back to them, so it keeps people like u in check, and thinking we're this great nation..5% of the world uses 25% of its resources, while 95% settles with 75%..we're a large part of that 5%..we exploit the hell out of poor nations..we could do so much more..instead we do just enough to keep people like u proud

  • First of all, you are talking about a human problem that is worldwide. The U.S. has done horrible things but LIKE I SAID (which ur illogical brain couldn't follow) the good outweighs the bad. Did the US rape & take from you. And who says that us using energy rapes someone. U r a "sheeple" who believes whatever the radical left zealouts feed your brain. Think for yourself idiot! Did u turn on a light ride a bus or drive a car today HYPOCRITE! Well u helped "drain" the world's resources.

  • If you don't care about the terrorists, and you are a pacifist and don't want to engage in war against them, then YOU SHOULD HATE Obama because he says he will kill Bin Laden. O ya, Obama also flip flopped about pulling troops out. He said immediate, then said gradual, then said something like, "we'll do it when it's less worse then when it's bad" or some confusing crap like that. So, your man who's nutsack yer swinging from is the same type of person u r preaching against. Make up yer mind!

  • and please don't call the terrorists OUR enemies..they are our governments enemies...the 2 main causes of the 9/11 attacks were from our backing of Israel and our occupation of the middle-east...they wanted us out for so long, and threatened us to get out, yet, we stayed for the same reasons as any war..so the old men get rich while the young men die..we didn't get attacked because we're rich and free..we got attacked because of our military occupying their country and butting into civil affairs

  • Um....dumbass...a terrorist will slit YOUR throat simply because you engage in watching Hollywood movies, let yer women walk free without their face covered and won't be forced into Islam. Anything non Muslim is "infadel" to them and must convert or die. Yer ignant & stupid. Backing Israel inflames them more--but please name ONE REASON we are evil for backing a democracy that lets women be free. R u for killing a woman cuz they're not a virgin b4 marriage? Yer defending this with your postings

  • we have NO right occupying other countries because we disagree with their culture...that is a civil affair and should be handled by the people of that country...now as far as the terrorists go..they hate us, because we force ourselves onto their holy land, build bases on their holy land, and DEMAND them not to do anything about it...we treat the world like our personal chess board, then when they fight back, our media calls them enemies, and we send our men and women to die for it

  • AGAIN, I am NOT disagreeing with you about bad policy, bad wars etc. But, you sound like our gov. ALWAYS fights bad wars. U think we should not have gone into Germany too?

    And why you think the terrorists were ONLY provoked by us taking their holy land. Israel walked up in there and yer friends the terrorists didn't care until Israel started gettin paid. Now they wanna take it all. Yer right about the people. Iran's people want freedom. It's gov wants oppression and genocide, but....(cont'd)

  • I hope you understand that not all Muslims are terrorists.

    I'm not assuming you do, I'm just wondering IF you do. I don't mean any offense by this, and I apologize if you take any offense, prosedad. But the majority of Muslims will tell you their doctrine, the "Holy Koran," preaches peace.

  • we PROVOKE these countries...these are known radical countries, yet, we still intervene in their CIVIL affairs...we have 130 bases in the 160+ nations on earth...we are a FORCE out for power and control...not to spread morality and democracy...all that is, is a cover-up...war is never for the reasons we are told...and when did i ever mention supporting obama? u assume things, take that assumption, make it reality, and then debate it..and all BEFORE even confirming anything first..come on man

  • (cont'd)...but if u think Iran's prez or other crazies are SOLELY mad because of us yer crazy. Their hatred for any non-Muslim state has been in place before US was a country. So HOW IS OBAMA gonna fix this? Or do u tow the party line and only think Rebublican governments are bad. You know that plent of Dems have been making $ off the Iraq war right? And u know that B.O.'s biggest contributors were the Wall Street suckas that he blasted. he's all about pimpin, too. So, u for him or not?

  • thats wat i'm talking about GO OBAMA!!!

  • thats wat i'm talking about ya'll need 2 stop hatin

  • Well I rather be a fool with hope then a frustrated anti-gay republican who might even admire George Bush.

  • Nobody is anti-gay. Most people don't want the militant gay mafia shoving their bedroom practices down our throats like they want to with their "marketing strategy" that was implemented in early 1990s and their "we're a special class of human beings" legislation where they got more rights that the average. Not liking homo perversion is same as not liking incest/prostitution/polygamy/S­&M/beastiality. It's only radical psycho gays want to FORCE YOU to approve of their booty bustin, etc.

  • I should know better than to step into YouTube debates, but I'll say this: your whole argument here is based around the idea that homosexuality is inherently perverse. If you get past that myth, the crux of your argument seems to be that, well, a lot of people don't like to think about gay sex because they think it's icky - that's not a good foundation for policy.

  • U should know better cuz your hypocritical unscientific/illogical answers are stupid.The basics for your dumbass: FIRSTLY, SCIENTIFICLY speaking a penis cannot ejaculate into an anus and produce a baby-but it can in a woman. So, it's ABNORMAL if u look at nature and the function of the parts.If homosexuality were "normal" or natural, then nature failed cuz the first generation would DIE OUT. The sanctimonious presumption that homosex. isn't perverse is 2 pretend that there is no perv. out there

  • Amazing... whenever I look up 9/11 footage I cry and am sad... whenever I look up these 5th of November videos of Obama's countdown I also cry... for hope and because even an Australian knows, Obama is a new start for the USA and the world. Congratulations Mr. President Obama!!!

  • omg I wanna cry! I wish I could've been there1

  • Congratulations America!

    -From Singapore-

  • thanks=D bubblygurl. now im actually proud to be an american.

  • damm wish i coulda been there

  • after watching tons of videos from all over the world reacting to this historic night, it truly made me feel like the people of this planet have finally come together as one and celebrate this victory together.... TRULY AMAZING TO BE PART OF THIS HISTORIC MOMENT!!!

  • historic

  • Hah, the guy in the blue at :05 didn't miss a beat! He was in the air before people could even react!

    Also, it's really nice reading all these comments by people from other countries congratulating us. It's heart-warming.

    I was at home watching the elections live, and even though I knew Obama was going to win at the time, I was still crying joyful tears. Congratulations, President Obama!

  • Man oh man, I wished I could have been there. What a moment.

  • nice to see a different angle -- i got some good video from the rally too, broke it down to some highlights including when CNN announced Obama had won the presidency. check it out by clicking my user name.

  • i was there people were goin crazy some got hurt it was the craziest night of my damn life

  • I wish I was there gettin hit by elbows too. What a moment God is smiling down on America right now.

  • America finally did the right thing. Congratulations - from Malaysia.

  • Wolf Blitzer caught me off guard there but that moment is unforgettable.

  • Yea I know! It seemed like he said it out of the blue.

  • I was there! What an amazing night!

  • A MASSIVE THANKYOU AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!

    IM FROM ENGLAND AND JUST HAVE TO SAY THANKYOU FOR MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE.

    NICE WORK PEOPLE, YOU DONE GOOD!

    thankyou! :) :)

    peace

  • Awesome. Thanks.

  • Congrats American friends! Kudos from Italy! Viva Obama!

  • WE DID IT AMERICA!

  • OK step one win everything complete, proceed to step 2 piss off conservatives for 8 years lol.

  • The 'Breaking News' graphic was unexpected. Thanks for having your camera ready. I caught my lens-cap on the camera strap in my sudden excitement and missed the initial reaction.

    OUR TIME HAS COME!!!!

  • Hahaha 0:18 is awesome.

  • 60 degree and light breeze on 4 November, are you sure this is Chicago weather?

    What a lovely evening!

  • I'm white, and a republican, but in a way there is a silver lining in this, to me: skin color doesn't make or break someone's ability to be president, but in a way, a black man becoming president will hopefully, symbolically, reassure blacks that anti-black racism amongst us whites is almost completely dead and about to croak. I hope this serves to reassure you guys that we white people are actually on your side, and there's no difference between us anymore.

  • U R A WINNER ..

  • CONGRATULATIONS!!!
