President Barack Obama

Obama wins in a landslide! 365 to 173 Electoral Votes! 52.7% to 46 % (of the popular vote) ! 66,760,924 popular votes to 58,279,894 ! Largest margin of victory in 20 years !

The nation rejects Neocon/Republican/Bush/McCain/Palin/Religious zealots and returns to the issues. Obama ran a methodical campaign and one would hope that he runs his administration in the same way over the next four years. Now, he's got to do the job. If he doesn't, he'll be out on his butt 4 years from now. He could get off to a good start by including some Republicans in his administration.

Like many Americans, I've never been prouder to cast a vote in an election. This election demonstrates how great this country is. It is living up to it's promises. It has restored my faith in the electorate and the nation. Older people I know, even if they didn't vote for Obama, tell me they are very happy he won and are proud of their country. They also tell me they haven't felt this positive about their country since Kennedy was President.
For my Conservative friends, especially the ones who seem to be very angry right now, judge President Obama on his actions, not your feelings. (President Obama!!! I can't believe I just wrote that!)
