Absolutely.
For once we're watching a GOOD piece of history unfold in the US.

I wasn't so moved by the american reaction, but Kenya declared today a national holiday, Australia drew huge crowds to watch and celebrate the outcome...the world reaction has been more than I expected.

Regardless of the red tape in the white house, you can't deny how Obama has brought so much hope to the American people, black or white. America is in bad shape right now and how people have reacted is really touching.

it definitely was a lot more powerful of a moment than i thought... especially seeing jesse jackson among the hundreds of others break into tears. i feel naive for this, but despite everything i don't like about democrats(same foreign policy besides iraq, support of bailout etc.), something about this outcome just feels right? whether he ends up delivering or not, it's a unique feeling that the world is turning the page to a new chapter that's going to unfold over the next several years.

This needed to happen. I smiled when I heard the news.

However, the American people and the world have unfathomable expectations for Obama. The man has a lot of weight on his shoulders right now. We'll see if he's up to the task...

I think its a little too early to be saying this is a GOOD piece of history. I think it will but the man hasn't spent one day in the White House as president yet....I'm holding off saying its a good piece of history until I see what he actually does while in office. The only thing he has really promised is change.

I dunno. I think Americans are aware that it won't be easy - he's been saying that over and over again throughout his campaign.

I think half the momentum is just from the hope that things can change on account of someone being in office that actually WANTS change. Americans have been so beat up since 2000, with the 2000 election debacle in Florida to 9/11, to a major war, anthrax scares, Hurricane Katrina, the relection of Bush by an extremely narrow margin and now a major economic collapse, foreclosure of their homes, job losses...the American people are long overdue for something that brings just the HOPE of change to their country.

It is a great piece of history for the African American people and the progress of American society. It is great for the US as it shows how they have progressively changed into being a truly free country.

But like you said, in terms of Obama governing the country, we will have to wait and see what his impact is on the US domestically and internationally and see if he can be true to his words!
