I hope and pray he will be a great president that serves the people of this country faithfully and leaves it in a better place than when he found it. However, I am insulted by the rhetoric spewed during the celebration. Those of us who voted Mccain are not soulless robots. We are not racist monsters. We are not "RepBots" as you have called us (I am not even a Republican). Obama has preached Unity throughout his entire campaign, and if he truly believes in Unity, he should be ashamed of some of his supporters who are all too happy to split the country again between "Us" and "Them". At the end of the day, the Country, and the president, is the servant of the people, ALL of us. Not just those who voted a certain way.

Sure actions speak louder than words, but I believe that Obama is going to be a good (if not GREAT) president and that when he says he will always be honest about the challenges we face, I believe him.  And I believe that he wants, with every part of his being, to make this country and world a more prosperous and peaceful place.  And that I find inspiring. For the first time in my life, I can honestly say I am proud to be an American.

This is huge.  We are a part of something really monumental here.  This is the first time in my life that I’ve been truly moved, touched, and inspired by a political event (most of my adult years have been plagued by Bush’s failed presidency).  Now I understand why so many people reminisce about the 60’s.

People could not contain their joy for hope and change. There would have been none of that if McCain had one.  The true RepBots don't know the definition of joy.  The Repubs that crossed over--welcome.
