Obama claims victory

Makes me proud to be an American again.

Obama would be a fool to name Hillary VP....only a heart beat away from the presidency!!

The final days of the Bush dictatorship!!!!

We had the best economy ever in US history until the Dems took control of congress 2 years ago. Now look what they have done. If Obama is elected president, it will be a bigger disaster to our economy than it already is. It will be catastrophic. Wake up America!!! Thanks Dems

I believe that Obama should name Clinton as his VP - the two combined would offer the much needed change that this country needs to grow and prosper once again. Congrats to both!

It's NOT OVER WITH until Hillary says she'll cave in for VP. McCain don't seek the presidency on the presumption I'm blessed with such personal greatness that history has anointed me to save my country in its hour of need. I seek the office with the humility of a man who cannot forget my country saved me. I assure you that if I'm elected president, the era of reform and problem solving will begin. From my first day in office, I'll work tirelessly to make America safe, prosperous and proud. The right change recognizes that many of the policies and institutions of our government have failed. The right kind of change will initiate widespread and innovative reforms in almost every area of government policy from energy to taxes to government spending and the military. The right change will stop impeding Americans from doing what they have always done, overcome obstacles and turn challenges into opportunities.

Yes we can.

If Hillary accepts a cabinet or department head position that she wants, which won't be V.P. and campaigns for her party this will be a slam dunk landslide for the Dems. McDuff might as well begin bargainging for other employment because all he is going to accomplish in this next campaign is to show the rest of the world what Americans are really made of when they get shoved around and lied too. This is what the rest of the world leaders and countries can expect in the future also. We can only be pushed around to a limit, then our resolve will bury you. GUARANTEED.

If B. Hussein Obama is smart he will name Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson as veep. Wait! I forgot about Reverend Wright. Would be an excellent choice.

The "again" at the end of the comment by anonymous is ridiculous. If you have ever not been proud to be an American than you have fallen for the propaganda of dictators and thugs throughout the world who declare America to be the great Satan. Is the U.S. perfect in all its decisions and actions? Not by any means. However, America is the champion of freedom and democracy throughout the world, and is always to be a source of pride. It is spectacular that Barack Obama has been elected his party's nominee for President, but if you have hated your country until this moment, I pity you, because this is the greatest country on the face of the earth and has been for quite a long time. Politics aside, you should be proud that an African American can be nominated a party's nominee for President, but to claim that NOW you are proud of America AGAIN as if you have been ashamed is ridiculous.

I admire Obama's ability to speak and communicate. I am nervous about his lack of revealed detail when it actually comes to policies. I fear what our tax burden will become if Barak is president. Liberals simply don't understand the drag that heavy tax burdens have upon an economy.

Hilary as VP? Obama would be dragged down by Republicans attacking Bill!

We had a surplus before Republicans blew it all away. War the #1 culprit.
Thanks Repubs.

Michelle Obama, I see you've changed your phrase from, "For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country." to "Makes me proud to be an American again." At least your new phrase indicates you have been proud of America at some point in the past (which tends to be a good thing when your husband runs for President)...

If Obama chooses Hillary for his running mate, he'd better watch his back once in the White House!

The best economy in history?! What kool-aid are you drinking? And what specifically have the democrats in congress done to affect it? Our economy, by the same measuring stick, was on a high until the election season of 2000 brought it crashing down because, you guessed it, 'W' was elected. We went into a recession shortly thereafter. So who's really to blame for the downturns in economics?

yeah, the Dems caused the overspending, credit crisis, the faulty mortgages, and shady lending practices. Wake up. It had nothing to do with parties, the current economic problems were years in the making and not beholden to party lines. It wasn't partisan politics it was good old fashion greed.

I only hope that I can get a two year supply of food in time. If this anti-American, communist gets the job food storage will be the only food left. Even the hatful bigoted liberals will long for the good old days of the Bush administration. Hello Carter second term, the misery index begins again.

You are kidding yourself. It has been the malfeasense and selfishness of the Bush administartion that has hurt this country more in the past 8 years than in any period of history. Wake up

Why do so many Obama supporters continue to say they have not been proud of America, or are finally proud our country? We are a great country with or without him, I think we are a little more great without him. I am not a fan of Pres. Bush, but to call it a Bush dictatorship is ridiculous.

For those who love big government, this is a great blessing. If Obama does pick Hillary for V.P., the size of government & mandated government programs will explode.(and you thought that the IRS was the worst program they could poduce).
Be ready for some big changes (taxes), for MANDATED health care, for college education, for foreclosure relief, for "Fixing" social security & finally (for those of us that have saved in "Tax-Free Grwoth" Roth IRA's & "Tax-Defered" 401k's so we don't have to rely on SS) the removal of the "Tax-Free" & "tax-Defered" so they can get to those monies for collection of taxes!
All 3 of these politicians are not my answer, but the combination of Barak & Hillary makes me worry.

For Anon. @ 12:19 am --- If this finally makes you proud to be an American, take-off the narrow vision blinders & look around.
I can say I have been dissappointed about decisions from our government, but I'm ALWAYS proud to be an American.
