D Tanya as in the speech President Elect Barack Obama made, you are included in that Yes!!! WE DID!! Cause you folk from Canada, and England, and Jamaica were working these boards, so even though you couldn't vote, your words encouraged a lot of folk to get out and Vote.

This is one of the proudest days of my life.

A VERY proud day for America indeed!!!.....the man really have his work cut out for him.

We had a party at our bar last night &amp; the whole crowd (all Jamaicans) were ecstatic when we heard the news!....
Maybe now America will regain the respect from the world, that Bush has destroyed....Obama is our new hope for the future!

Re: YES WE CAN. AND WE DID

What an amazing experience!!!! I didn't get to bed until 5 o'clock this morning...no, I didn't go to work today .....

I thought about many things over the course of the evening....I thought about Rosa Parks...Medgar Evers ....all my brothers and sisters who marched from Selma to Montgomery.....and, yeah, JFK, RFK and LBJ were also there....but so was Seveen's Abu, who I hope understands now that <span style="font-weight: bold">anything is possible</span>!

But mostly, I thought about The Dreamer...

&quot;I have a dream...that one day this Nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of it's creed:

&quot;We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal&quot;



Yes We Can!!!!!

Re: YES WE CAN. AND WE DID

I missed this thread yesterday.

I honestly was moved to tears when I woke up and saw the results were for real.
I went to bed when Barack had over 204 Electorals. I was pretty confident.

I never thought I would see this country SO motivated to make their voices heard. Hopefuly this will be an inspiration for the voters of the future. The same ones that were so HUGE in bringing this about. So may young people RABID about this election!!

Now that they've seen their power, I pray they continue to use their right and priveledge to vote and be involved in the processes of our government.

MY likkle state has voted to decriminaliz Marijana!! Anything under an ounce would be punishable by a fine and not stay on your record... maybe I'll take it up again!!
We've also voted to ban dog racing in the state.

This is an amazing time in history.
Congratulations to us all!!

NEW WORD: Baracknaphopia: irrational fear of black presidents!!
