The junior Senator from Illinois swept the 2008 election with a majority of both the popular and electorial votes. He won a solid victory against Arizona Senator and Viet Nam-era war hero John McCain, winning in both traditional Democratic states as well as states known as Republican strongholds.
A virtual unknown until his stirring keynote address at the 2004 Democratic Convention, the President-elect’s meteoric rise to the White House was fueled by a riveting personal style, a gift for stirring oratory and a commanding ability to deploy new technology to raise funds and organize supporters.
The election of the left-leaning Democrat marks significant demographic and cultural shifts among the American electorate. He will become the first post-Baby Boom President, as well as the first bi-racial President. Politically, his ascendancy will mark the end of the prolonged era of small-government and unregulated capitalism that’s been in power since the Reagan Revolution of 1980
May Hashem have mercy upon us all.
The only change that is on the way is what will be left in your pocket after he confiscates your hard earned dollars.
There was never greater proof that the average american voter is stupid. If i was Obama i’d be ashamed to hear people saying they voted for me because i will fill up their gas tanks and pay their mortgages.
Yes, all BHO needs is California and one more state, but its irresponsible for you to name BHO president before the Western states polls even close. You won’t be wrong this time, but if you are irresponsible next time, you would get burned. You should take down this declaration immediately. Thank you.
Boruch Hashem. Finally, our economy will get back on track, if only we could erase the last eight years also.
I just don’t get it. How could they declare him winner of Ohio when he only has a 4% lead and only 49% of the precincts were counted?
I heard that in the morning (during work hours!) in Ohio most voters were for Obama, but later they were mostly for McCain!!
“I Have A Dream” Accomplished
Now he can stop dreaming and face reality…together with the rest of America.
Rabosai, everyone should make sure they have an updated passport and I think tomorrow should a Yom Tefilah and maybe even a fast day. This is very, very scary and no one should take it lightly.
May god bless the united states of africa
You guys are big fools, if you thought that macain has a chance.. The polsters are in business for a reaason. They all said that obama is making it. I guess if this happened, this what’s better for us. Everything is from above! We will live with it.
lets hope for the best
A passport? Where exactly are you going to? With Obama there wont even be an Israel to go to.
updated passport ? where r we going to ?
This is the first time in my adult life that i am REALLY ashamed to be an american!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We’re screwed! Good Bye America it’s been fun!
Alright Barack, you’ve gotten the mandate, we trust you to perform.
Baruch Hashem! Yashrus and emes prevail after all, notwithstanding the lies that have been spread about this person in the heimishe communities.
It’s time for yidden to stop being bigots; get used to this, it’s a reality.
may hashem lead us not obama
may hashem bless him to lead the country in a good way for all
and do only good and be kind to us all that he should be a good leader
please pray so and more as it is written
wicked is he who believes in mankind
believe in hashem and do only good
People stop it. Calm down. Obama will be a great presidnet and all this chatter of running away is a Chillul Hashem and is real real nonsense. It’s silly and premature to talk like that. All this talk of Obama being a Sonei Yisroel or whatever is real rubbish. Simply untrue. Please think and comment responsibly.
crazy
BH obama, gam zu le toiva
wow
chevlei Moshiach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im in tears. what a sad day in US history!!!! poor McCain, he was a POW for our country, a war hero- the highest form of serving ,,,,and a complete unknown, unpatriotic kenyan won for doing absolutely nothing…
america is filled with self haters!!!
WHERE IS EVERYONE’S BITACHON?? GAM ZU L’TOVA. MAY THERE BE A GEULA SHELAIMA THIS YEAR AND SHALOM AL YISROEL.
Oy Vey! The holocaust is coming!!!!!!!
If everyone would just take upon themselves one MIDDAH to work on, it will bring the Geula much closer!! “HUT BITACHON”
I am ashamed of the reactionism in the frum world. Let’s wish him well and work together for the greater good. People sound like members of the KKK when they talk about moving.
Wow! If the blind couldn’t see the Yad Hashem before, now surely they must. This whole process and its outcome was so illogical, that only a ma’amin could understand that it is clearly the Hashgocho.
Hanach kavshi deRachmana lama lach? Hashem has done His. We must (continue to) do ours: study Torah; perform Mitzvos and Ma’asim Tovim; and do Teshuvah.
Mi yodei’a? Yoshuv v’nicham haElokim, v’shov mecharon apo v’lo noveid. (Yonah 3:9)
this shows the yad hashem, that 7 years after 9/11, we’d have a president named hussein obama, an arab. IYH the geula will be here soon. events have been set in motion and this is just one more chess piece in place.
Attention americans who want to keep their money Chile has more solvent economy than the USA and if you want some more socialism and you do not mind violent crime france would be a better option and besides Obama would give you the best of both worlds violent crime like South africa after De clerk and no social programs to middle class working people only if you qualify to live in the Socialist paradise called the inner city projects
chill out everybody – it’s all good. G-d’s in charge, not obama.
Who’s two cents is this” his ascendancy will mark the end of the prolonged era of small-government and unregulated capitalism that’s been in power since the Reagan Revolution of 1980″?
i am very much in favour of all those people who are so “scared” because Obama moving out. i think this country would be a much better place without them. Obama won take it or LEAVE it.
מזל טוב ברק אָבאַמאַ
I am so proud to be living in this country today. Let’s wish the President-elect luck and success to lead ALL of us over the next four or eight years. Let’s put aside the ridiculous hatred, bigotry, and divisiveness and celebrate our wonderful nation.
let’s run while we can…only problem is there is no were to run… we have to daven and ask hashem it should all be good…. this is no joke… he has no record he has nothing to him he is a joke…. wasn’t even born here….. if people think he is going to change something for the better…. I have bad news to you…. remember dinkins time… oh that was nyc only… but now we have someone who pepole think he is going ro change things…. oh yes… he will change it.. just like dinkins changed the city… when you daven tomorroe be mispallel for kalal yisroel hashem send us a message tonight to wake up…. I think we were getting to comfortable here… its just unreal its like a dream…. this country is over its moshiach time…. just hope israel will finish iran before he steps in….. yidden wake up and start davening
America was lost before this election. you can make Obama the scapegoat if you like, but we all know its just not true.
Why can’t people be optimistic? lets just hope for the best.
Well, this is the price Republicans paid for going the middle/left. Republicans do not lose when they act like conservatives. In worked for Reagan, and it worked for Gingrich. In 2006, the Democrats came back in because many ran further to the right than their Republican challengers.
Regardless, we are all Americans. I thank the RSO that we live in a country where power is turned over peacefully. But, I never dreamed of an America where we are so fascinated by a mere mortal and we ignore his awful past. We just elected a President who cannot pass the background check his bodyguards had to go through. We just elected someone who believes in Karl Marx.
Despite all of this, I still have to go to work and live my life. So should the rest of you. At least many people won’t have to cheat for section 8 and other benefits, you’ll get them no questioned asked from us working stiffs. Does anyone want to ‘volunteer’ their money to pay my car lease?
getting my Russian passport ready, just in case..
Oh ye of little faith. The president isn’t picked by voters. The president is picked by the One Above. He’s a high profile shaliach. What will be will be, and it doesn’t matter who is sleeping in the White House.
kiddish hashem
tonight might be a very strong night for yidden !!!! tonight is a moment were evey yid is looking to hashem and sais : HASHEM WE ARE TOTALY TURNED TO YOU you hashem and olny you can save help us
lets keep our bitochen strong HASHEM LOVES US
Congratulations President elect Obama! Yes We Can! Yes We Can!
i really can not believe what i am reading……… all u hussein lovers are in the same boat as those naturei karte yemach shmom………… u have no bishah to say there is nothing to worry and he will be a great president??????????? everything a person looks for in a president he is the opposite. first and foremost he has to be an AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can you believe it he isnt an american and he became president… secondly he hates america with a passion…. (just to sidetrack for a min would u ever think for a second bush or any american would be able to become president in IRAN or any arab country no way in hell) no experience….. he is already predicting a disaster within 6 months of his presidency…….. rabboisssai what the hell are u ppl smoking are u jewish are u AMERICAN CITIZEN hashem yerachem i dont know about u arabs but i am petrified…….. your all self hating jews and dont come running soon oy vey look what he did to the economy oy vey he shook ahmedenijhad’s hands and look what he is doing convincing Israel give back all of jerusalem…. oy farakhan and jesse jackson, and heil sharpton look what they are saying about americans and jews i dont want to hear anything from u ashamed disgusting ppl
There is a major march going on right now in Flatbush.
Guys this is just the begining, Wonder if there is any marches in Willi.
President Obama gave an amzing speech. Give him credit. President Obama pulled the impossible off and credit to Mr. Axelrod who is a political genious.
The one good thing out of this election will be that we won’t hear the democrats blame republicans and everyone else for the problems that America is going through. Democrats will have control of everything. No more excuses and Obama has a chance to be either the best president and prove us all wrong or go down in history as the worst president. I would like to believe that Obama will be a great president and the biggest challenge for Obama is to keep Biden in the closet.
The reason for the big turn out was the good American people trying to get bidens foot out of his mouth and this is something a plumber could not do.
And where is Joe the Plumber? Where is Hillary?!!
What to expect this month now that Obama is the next president:
Gas rates will drop, jobs will be back, Iran will not hate us, Iraq will have peace, Bin ladin who? , Bush who? tax breaks for 95% of Americans….and more of a wish list!!
Moshiach is knocking on the door.
Polls Show That 75% Of Jews Voted Obama….only The Hemishe Are Making A Panic….calm Down….
OK Milhouse and Murray and the other regulars here. Pack your bags. We’re happy to be rid of all the fear-mongering racists.
Wow. The absolute stupidity of some of you is astounding. Those of you that think America is about to become a socialist country and are now ashamed to be Americans and talk about leaving, please do so. Lucky for you that this is a free country and no one will stop you from leaving. Those of you that claim our new President is a Muslim or was born in Kenya or will start a new holocaust or whatever other crazy thoughts are going around in your heads, please go see a psychiatrist to help you with your delusions.
Sure, obama will do much damage, but hopefully, our system of “checks and balances”, and term limits will prevent the country from destroying itself.
Carter caused damage, but the country is still here. And if not for Carter, who knows if we woulda had Reagan?
One thing is certain: Higher taxes for everyone.
There goes Agri, Iowa went for BHO.
