What a great & historic day!!!!!

Good Morning Mr. President (Elect) - Mr. Barack Obama. President of the World!!

I am not American. I am Jamaican but it fills me with absolute pride & joy to be a part of this great day in history. This victory is not just America's but for the World as a whole. American politics has long infiltrated the affairs of the world & so we all celebrate. From every 'nook & cranny', we say THANKS for this great CHANGE.

The rise of an African-American as President not only gives young & upcoming generations confidence and a new outlook on American politics as it has been known for over 200 years, but it also gives a sense of liberation to Black people all over who have fought for many years for this dream to become a reality.

It gives hope to people of colour everywhere. It gives solace to realize that America is now turning it's eyes away from colour and now to progression.

Many of us thought we'd never see this day but it is now here. Our children & our childrens children will now know of an America that chose a man of colour for President.

YES WE CAN... and YES HE DID!!!!

There will finally be a Black Man in the White House!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully this will set in motion, similar practices for other countries in the world whose political trends are similar to those of the America we once knew... namely the United Kingdom.

I celebrate the change but more importantly, I celebrate America's 1st Black President.

"Martin Luther King walked, so that Barack Obama could run"

"Barack Obama ran, so that Black People could fly"

BARACK OBAMA - President-Elect.
