Obama's crowing moment of awesome.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

NATION FINALLY SHITTY ENOUGH TO MAKE SOCIAL PROGRESS

 

[Brannon]

Amazing what a community organizer can become with an average donation of ~$80/person.

Rudy - "Community Organizer? What is that!?"

HE'S YOUR FUCKING BOSS!

 

[RadioHeadAche]

I love that music.

 

[faceless007]

This is great movie music, anyone know what it's from?

 

[MaritalWheat]

I think we might just have witnessed one of the most profound and pivotal speeches in American History one that will transcend the ages and be quoted by the future generation.

This. Holy fuck.
I am already a thousand times prouder to be an American than I was at the end of the last election--finally a leader to respect. Here's to hoping he doesn't fuck up after all the trust we've overwhelmingly devoted to him...

 

[NumberTwo]

Obama daughters are so CUTE!

 

[Hootie]

OMG JOE BIDEN'S MOTHER!!!

Epic

 

[yuna55]

Oprah's crying, now I'm crying.

OH NO, NOT THE GIRLS! HE PICKED UP & HELD THE ONE! THEY'RE GETTING A PUPPY! STOP THE TEARS! STOP THE TEARS!

Oh shit! Biden's mom or whoever that elderly lady is on stage is looking at Obama's family, like, "WTF?! What have we done?!" haha

 

[wenis]

is there just some way we can get bush out right now and give obama a 40+ day head start?

best approval ratings for bush ever if he went willingly.

 

[Kandrick]

Whats up with the glasses all around ?

 

[DMczaf]

 

[MaddenNFL64]

What a moment in history.

I'm glad I added my +1 to him.

 

[VPhys]

Obama: "I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. I will be your president, too."

This motherfucker! WOW

Yeah, that was pretty amazing.

 

[rollingstart]

THANK ZEUS AND MOTHER EARTH!

DAY BOW BOW

CHIKA CHIKA

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL

 

[speculawyer]

EPIC



I can't thank you enough America, with this gesture alone, your credibility shot up a billion points in the world.

Thank you world for your help. Those huge crowds in Germany, the Mexican immigrant volunteers, the town of Obama in Japan . . . it all helped.

 

[Souldriver]

Gotta wonder what Obama's little kids are thinking and feeling right now, must be overwhelming.

did you just wake up at six am, or went through the whole night like me?

 

[Ether_Snake]

From somewhere else...

Wow. When it flashed across the TV screen that Barrack Obama is our next president, my heart and soul was flooded with sorrow and torment. Tears started falling down my face as I sat in the living room with my unsaved husband as I felt the dread of what was to come for all those who do not know Jesus. I didn't mourn because of who was elected, I mourn for those who are going to be left behind, I feel a great urgency to do my part even more in the great commission. I know that this man our nation elected as president is God's doing, ...the question is, has your ministry begun, what are you, all of us doing to plant seeds int he souls of mankind, are you on fire for the Lord in these end of times? Forgive my rambling, but the passion for my Jesus is pumping through my veins!

And My God said he sends us out as sheep amongst the wolves!!! And the Leader of the pack just entered his den!!!

And so it begins...

HOW? How can someone say that after hearing this speech? Complete self-inflicted insanity.

Make sure to read the reader comments.

dyam, i have trouble believing what i'm seeing. They must be filtered.

It's the fucking internet. You can't be positive on the internet.

 

[NeoUltima]

Whats up with the glasses all around ?

bullet protection? :/

 

[Teknoman]

That is exactly how it feels like. Damn. Today is good to be an American.

Yeah its like the end of Independence day or something.

 

[Hootie]

I CAN'T STOP SMILING

 

[NomarTyme]

Why the was Jesse Jackson allow to be there???????????????????

 

[perryfarrell]

He better not screw up.

McCain's campaign was meant to be defeated.

He's inheriting a rough situation.

The world is better off.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

The speech was so inspiring that even if there was a sniper on the roof, he would've killed himself by now...

 

[Tek]

We did it......we did it!

 

[KeeSomething]

Obama's speech was one of the most inspiring things I've ever heard. I'm very excited to see him in office.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Obama's crowing moment of awesome.

 

[Anthropic]

Are some of you guys actually crying or is it just more GAF sensationalism?

I am. I actually Twittered it: http://twitter.com/Anthropic/status/990898597

Rudy - "Community Organizer? What is that!?"

HE'S YOUR FUCKING BOSS!

That's Mr. President to you, motherfucker.

 

[Riddler]

Obama is the american dream made real.

God I cant believe this is happening.

 

[Wickerman]

Great speech by our new president.

Now it's time to get America back on the right track

 

[-Kees-]

Posting this again since it got caught right before Barack's speech.

MEGATON INDIANA UPDATE, I SWEAR THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT!

Obama now leads by 16,200 votes. 97% of precincts reporting.

IMPORTANT:

Allen County

McCain: 76,728 52%
Obama: 69,934 47%

97% reporting

Jasper County

McCain: 4,836 59%
Obama: 3,248 40%

72% Reporting

Jennings County

McCain: 5,883 54%
Obama: 4,852 44%

96% of precincts reporting

Wayne County

McCain: 0
Obama: 0

Wayne County went 16,500-10,000 for Bush in 2004.

(don't know WTF is up with this county)

These are the ONLY COUNTIES LEFT WHERE MCCAIN IS LEADING IN.

Compared to Obama

Lake County is going for Obama 67-32 with 8% of precincts yet to report. He also a lead in LaPorte County 57-41 with 10% of precincts left to report. He also has Monroe county, which he is leading 65-34 with 6% left to report.

Obama may very well have an insurmountable lead in Indiana.

Amazing.

 

[Crow]

America just bought back some 100+ respect points from me (Australian). Congrats America.

 

[JCreasy]

THank you PoliGAF


We did it

We did it

And I did cry

I wish my Dad was alive to see this

 

[bggrthnjsus]

god that speech was perfect
i wish i would've stayed for it at grant park, but i left after they called ohio (because that pretty much sealed it).
my mom and i were just sitting and watching this speech, both of us in tears

 

[WedgeX]

Mark Shields is complaining AGAIN about the lack of balloons (on PBS).

WHY?!?

 

[UltimaPooh]

This night will be forever memorable.

His speech was amazing, I choked up. I even choked up at the montage of all the cities.

I recommend in the next few days we move this thread to archives... and create a new poli-gaf thread titled: Poli-GAF: Looking Forward. It would be fitting to shut this one down.

 

[M_A_C]

Awesome speech! Could you even imagine Bush doing anything close to that?

 

[bathala]

For some reason, Obama winning feels like Return of the Jedi ending

 

[HylianTom]

No tears here. But my hair did stand on-end at a few points.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Obama=win
Decriminalization of weed in Massachusetts=win

Prop 8?

 

[RurouniZel]

That speech made me tear up, as well as both of my parents.

I'm so proud to call this man my President.

 

[Baconbitz]

Wow, I actually respect McCain for this speech, though that crowd is a massive pile of stupid.

Yeah, they failed.

 

[onegoodlogan]

HOLD ME CLOSER, BARACK OBAMA
COUNT THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE HIGHWAY
LAY ME DOWN ON SHEETS OF LINEN
YOU HAD A BUSY DAY TODAY

 

[faceless007]

It's really beginning to hit me how monumental this is. I'm young, but I'll be surprised if I see another presidential election as important as this one in my lifetime. All I have to compare it to, of course, is Clinton and Bush, and they of course had victory speeches given to ballrooms full of people as well, but this is just in a different universe from them.

The total votes won't be in for awhile of course, but the turnout this election will be way bigger than anything in recent history--especially by young voters. This wasn't just the changing of the guard that happens every 4 or 8 years--this was the fucking birth of a new generation of Americans.

 

[Aquavelvaman]

He's such an incredible speaker, this is some cool stuff going on right here.

 

[Phoenix]

Holy shit, Fox just cut off coverage and immediately went to the crab people chanting on South Park. :lol :lol

Are you serious?

 

[whytemyke]

Goddammit, I'm a white guy, I'm not supposed to be crying now

dude, i've broken down 2 or 3 times tonight.


i mean, if obama can win, anything can happen.


*thinks of Lions in the superbowl*



well... maybe not ANYTHING...

 

[woxel1]

BA RACK OOOOOOO
