As called by CNN and NBC:

OBAMA!

ETA: I AM WATCHING MCCAIN'S CONSESSION SPEECH! *SQUEEE*

ETA2: DUDE. How wrong is it that I've been slashing long enough now that I was watching Obama and Biden wave at the crowd with their arms around each other, and went, 'Omg, I need Obama/Biden slash nao!'

*cough* No, but really, REALLY... Oh, oh, the 106 year old woman. God. His speech...

Amazing. I can't stop grinning.

ETA3: Also, aoibhe linked this in her journal, and I meant to re-link, as it made me cry. Obviously, I was a bit distracted, but here: The courage of San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders. I have no words. I want to hug him.

P.S. How amazing is it that Gay Americans were included in Obama's speech? I want to hug him too.

That was an AMAZING concession speech, and if his writers had spoken as eloquently during the run as they did right then, I may have actually listened to him and what he said more than I originally did. I was pleased to see him man up and say 'it was my fault'. That was a great moment. :)

NO SHIT. That was awesome, in the true definition of the word. It was a good concession. :)

Did that acceptance speech make you CRY OHMYGOD?? Bawling. I could not stop crying I was so proud of this man and his morals, and why doesn't Aaron Sorkin just come out from the rafters and stand next to the man because that speech is just...woah. Wow. It was good.

He mentioned something about the men and women in Iraq who voted and were watching I just lost it. And then when he was all about where he's going and what he plans to do and how he's going to listen to the people when they disagree, and oh, my gosh.

His puppy comment made me laugh. And his best friend comment made me sigh and WHERE WAS AARON BECAUSE YOU KNOW HE WAS THERE!

Did you see Oprah crying? *sniffle* I'm not a fan of hers, but that made me smile.

I didn't weep, but there were tears. I can't stop smiling, dude. It's 1am, and I can't make my brain slow down.

God, I just... that whole bit about the 106 year old woman, and all the change that has happened just in her life time. My God. I'm just... not very coherent about it yet, obviously. :D

Aw, and yes! Puppy! *G* That was cute.

I'm still a bit numb. I can't quite believe it's actually happened. I'm over the moon.

YAY *g*

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

Omg, I know. The hugeness of this is just starting to hit me. I AM ALL CAPSLOCKY!

*GGG*

[innerslytherin]

*snerk* Okay, one of the guys at Grant Park said, "This is where Obama will later hook up with his running mate Joe Biden..." and I thought, BWAHAHAHA OBAMA/BIDEN SLASH!

HEE HEE HEE I AM SO GLAD I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE! *cliiiings*

*G* WOO!

[rhea-carlysse.livejournal.com]

I'm so excited it's not even funny, and this isn't even my country we're talking about XD

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

Hee! I KNOW! A lot of non-Americans on my flist are all keyed up! It's amazing! *hugs you*

[rhea-carlysse.livejournal.com]

tell me about it, my flist EXPLODED. Hell, even my sister woke me up with a "Obama won". I find incredible the level of investment of everyone in this election.

Now I wish we would take seriously our own elections too... *bitter* Although, that's more about real life than livejournal xD

This is a good day today, congratulations!

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm pretty proud of America tonight. <333

OMFG....This is such a wonderful time for America!

I was watching the news closely today. And I think a hell of a lot of other Australians were too. This is a momentous day for America....and for the world as a whole.

Obama's speech really moved me. I was crying. I just kept thinking...OMG I'm witnessing History and then I started crying again.

Such an amazing day!
