4. This one is really well done. I enjoyed seeing how the various news channels
reported the results. Some, not so thrilled as others. LOL Really well done. Thank you for sharing this with us.

6. Thank you for that. I finally was able to cry tears of JOY.

Tuesday I still felt like it could be stolen away from us again - so, while I was estatic, I still had fears - big, genuine, fears.

I was afraid to go to sleep believing that when I woke up it would all be changed once again...

Now it has really happened.

From being fucking, astoundingly ASHAMED of my country for the past 8, no, 10 years, I am now PROUD once again of and for my country, for the first time in over 8 long years - even 12 years for what they did to Clinton.

8. I will never forget Tuesday night
for as long as I live I'll remember that night...Walking home from my friends' house and hearing fireworks, hoots and hollers, and shedding tears of joy at this historic election.

10. I really like it when Olbermann announces Obama president
That part between 3:37 through 5:17 I just replayed over and over again.
Olbermann HAD to be the man to announce it for MSNBC. I know enjoy savored every word.
Plus I think MSNBC had the most dramatic music for the calling.

History...oh how I am so glad to be alive!!!!

14. A night to remember!
Each of us will remember this night for the rest of our lives.

I got a message on my answering machine from my parents, who have NEVER voted for a Democrat in their entire lives, including 2008. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqJutqE9FtY

We have had a really rough 8 years over POLITICS, try as I might to keep my mouth shut with them. I kept them appraised of Mr Clayz, my, and their 2 granddaughters antics canvassing for OBAMA. The listened patiently.

I am so glad they called on election night.
It was like a silk ribbon around the package of one of the BEST days of my life!

K and R

15. This was the happiest day
of my life so far. I cried so much that night that I thought that I didn't have any tears left, but watching this video reminds me otherwise.

If I get tickets to the inauguration, I advise you guys to buy stock in Kleenex.
