I think that its greatfor not only usa but for the rest of the world as well. Its a giant step for america but i am sure there will be alot of people who are unhappy about this and i do hope as Dana said earlier they keep his security tight he may just be the next one to be assisnated ( ihope i'm wrong) but they are drawing paraells to JFK.

Everything you guys have written so far, I agree with!

Obama's speech was amazing and John McCain was very gracious in defeat.

Loved the tv coverage yesterday, Paul Henry was great. ]]> Thu, 06 Nov 2008 10:39:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22242&PID=537351&title=the-new-president-of-the-usa#537351 <![CDATA[The new President of the USA : Brilliant aye I thought that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22242&PID=537154&title=the-new-president-of-the-usa#537154 Author: Jennz

I'm so so happy that Obama won - A huge victory and a much needed change.

His speech today was extremely powerful and I felt myself well up with pride and emotion listening to it.

Now about our Leaders Debate......]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 22:45:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22242&PID=537140&title=the-new-president-of-the-usa#537140 <![CDATA[The new President of the USA : you know what ????

you know what ???? Martin Luther King Jr's vision ,his dream is finally coming true

"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring."

Its finally started ]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 22:34:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22242&PID=537134&title=the-new-president-of-the-usa#537134 <![CDATA[The new President of the USA : So glad Obama got in, its time...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22242&PID=536941&title=the-new-president-of-the-usa#536941 Author: Natalie_G

I sat there stunned as these are the things that our kids will be reading about in history books in school. That speech he made will be historical and I think it's just fantastic that the country has finally woken up and smelt the salami.

I just hope the keep his security tight.
