My reaction to the election was a good one. I clapped and yelled woo when I found out that Obama had won. I believed that he was the best choice for president this year and that he will do good. When Obama made his speech, I held back the tears. It was very touching and his tone was very empowering.

I cried when I watched the race. To see the first black president ever, is extremely touching. Besides that, I was blown away by the amount of electoral votes Obama had over McCain. I was jumping up and down on my couch, screaming in shock and surprise. I wasn't surprised that Obama won actually, I was more surprised at the number because I was pretty sure McCain was going to be very close to Obama.

I like Obama and I think his speeches are amazing. He really kept my attention. Although I was raised as a republican, I really like Obama. I think he is a great candidate and I'm glad he won and I like how he handled his acceptance speech. I see a lot of McCain's views though and I like what he stands for. I can't really see Obama's views as much as I can with McCain's. Obama's acceptance speech was the first time I really listened to him speak and I wish I heard some of his other speeches.

When Obama spoke about Ann he seemed genuine about what he had to say about her. He looked like he knew a lot about her and enjoyed telling her story. I'm happy for him and I'm glad he won.

This is the first election I have ever fully seen, mainly because it made history. Nobody would have believed that Barack Obama, or even an African American person, would become president. The reputation of all white presidents has shadowed the sight of a black president, yet proof that that has changed was shown yesterday night. My reaction: surprised and happy. I was thrilled to see Obama elected as the next president because that could be something I can tell my children: I saw Barack Obama, the first black president, being elected.

My first reaction to the election was to be surprised. I ran through the house screaming and yelling to my parents room. I just couldn't believe that we were living through history. That's a big step to change I thought, first black President, and I just couldn't belive it. Obama's speech was very uplifting. It moved people and made them come together as one and all together we know we can make a change in America. I believe that it is time we come together to make a change. Obama wasn't only talking to everyone in America, but to everyone in all different place. I was amazed to see all the people who stayed up late just to see him. It time for change and we can do it. YES WE CAN!!

The people of America have voted, and the president has been decided.  Our next president is Barack Obama.  This election was very exciting, as the polls seemed to get tighter and tighter.  I believe both candidates campaigned very well and did a very good job, but in the end, Barack Obama and Joe Biden beat John McCain and Sarah Palin and assumed (future) presidency of the United States.  Last night (Tuesday, November 4, 2008), Obama gave a speech to America about his presidency.

                                My reaction to Obama's speech was at first to scream along with the crowd, because I agreed with everything that Obama spoke of. I was really happy and a bit shocked from the fact that he was voted for president. I had wanted Obama to win, and as i watched his speech, I felt a bit victorious. I felt really glad to be able to see something like this happen, something that will be remembered in U.S history. Something that I will be able to tell my grandchikdren about.

I was overwhlemed by the election. His speech was magnificent. When he first started his speech i just sat and watched. I also listened. But as he got deeper and deeper into it I started to get teary eyed. The way he smothly spoke about americans and african-americans was so down to earth. At my young age i felt that I had a president , not me as a statistic or a nummber in poll. But me as a a person I felt i have a person that really cares about my fututre. When he started talking about how we as a country aren't enemies but friends, is really when he had me. I just felt so joyus watching a African-American man on a stage telling the fututre he plans for us.

When I found out that Barack Obama had won the election, I was astonished. I was glad to see that he is now the President of the United States. I felt overwhelmed to have actually witnessed this great event that will go down in history for many years to come. Listening to Obama's speech was very moving. I felt as if he is willing to make a change for the better of our nation. 

When it was announced that Barack Obama was elected our next president, I was supposed to be asleep in my room. However, sleep was the last thing that i had on my mind. In a matter of minutes I heard that he won from channel 29 news, heard people screaming outside of my house, and the dj's on power 99 were announcing the good news all at the same time. I was overjoyed and overwhelmed with happiness. The feeling reminded me of when the phillies won, except 10x better.
