If the world is ready then the United States should be for the first african american president.

Sera,

We need more principled conservatives speaking up like you have. He's OUR President now, it's OUR country, no matter how one voted.

Well said.

And i have had enough of American bashing. It is time the United States stops most of foreign aid, quits NATO and tells most of the world to go to hell. If the United States does that how long will it be before the world comes crawling on its needs begging for the United States for help?

My father supported George Wallace and was a life member of the NRA, and I was always a Bill Buckley conservative. But I have to warn anyone who is thinking about harming Obama -- I'm coming after you with my father's Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum and will send you straight to the Promised Land.

USA has been very week for 8 years. It's time to be strong again. I hope things will work out for you and my littlesister who lives in Frisco.

We Americans need all of the "rehabilitation" that we can get...O'Bama 2009:D

I'd be very interested to know of your international political experience which can help substantiate your statement. But first, do you even own a passport? If you've visited other countries in every year over the past 8 years you would know exactly why the world is celebrating... and why, as Americans, we should be too!

The world reacts favorably..... because they see that FINALLY we start to think straight and to see the rest of the world as it is and NOT as some fanatic like you PineEmbers sees it. As if the world has nothing to do but see america as a week country!! that is just stupid ! get a passport and travel my friend ! The world love this country; always did and will always do . What they never understood is the twisted way of seeing the world that some close-minded people like you has.

GO OBAMA !
