The view from here is fantastic

The implications are huge! What does Obama's win mean to you?

To me, it is like yesterday's world of fear-mongering, hate, distrust, stupidity and denial has been thrust off its axis by the sheer will of the American people.

Obama's message of hope and determination is what a war and fear weary world needs. We have a leader who is capable of guiding us in a new direction. And do we ever need his help.

Imagine what it will be like for Americans to have a sense of shared purpose. He speaks to the best in us, and pushes us to reach for the impossible.

If I were a minority, disabled or struggling to make ends meet, not only would I feel like I now have a partner in Washington, but I would also feel like I have the capability to realize my dreams, my potential. A lot of children across the country have a new role model, Barak Obama.

My sincerest hope is that he can live up to my sky-high expectations. He has most of America on his side. I have faith that he will take us to the America that for the past eight years has only existed in our memories.
