Around the world, media reaction to the Democrats' victory has poured in, as newspapers and broadcasters reflect on the Barack Obama campaign and the global impact his win will have.
The International Herald Tribune said that America had "leaped" across the color line, calling Obama "a 47-year-old black man who made history both because of his race and in spite of it."
The Times of London said Obama had revitalized U.S. politics. "The immense turnout in yesterday's election was testament to the energy, excitement and expectations of a rejuvenated American democracy, as well as the fears of a nation standing at a crossroads of history," the paper said.

In Tunisia, the Arabic daily Al Chourouk said: "Today America elects "The President of the World."

In Russia, Pravda was ecstatic, announcing that "Eight years of hell are over."

If true, then we have elected the anti christ.
I’ve wondered that also...
welcome, mabus
The world can have him.....
Not one of our domestic 0bamabots really knows the meaning behind all this international jubilation.

I give you the next president of Earth!
Less than 2004 == Immense turnout?
He is a half bread
The world now thinks it has a savior. Since he is not The Savior (and Hope) of the world, he is an imposter...a counterfeit.
This morning several older men at my job (I work for the Feds) were discussing the election. One of them said that Obama’s speech reminded him of Nuremberg. All that was missing was the Nazi banner. Very, very telling.
Where is my gas tank filler? And my pies. And my Mortgage money.
Might I suggest CNN is a little light headed with all that CO2 in the newsroom, it blocks out the oxygen.
I guess all those that voted for him wanted the antichrist more than God.
That my friend is scarier than any antichrist
He’s president of the world only as long as he does what they want him to do. Once he does differently, he’s “an arrogant American.”
And, our Heavenly Father told us there would be days like this.
“President Obama, this is Vladimir Putin calling from Warsaw.”
Condi Rice has just been trotted out to praise the king-elect.
Obama is only 1/4th black. His mom is white and dad is half white. Trying to give the skinny little kid a ghetto pass is silly.
Betcha Bill Clinton thought he was going to get that title...
See, there’s just no way I can make it four years like this, without being able to keep any solid food down. Egad.
It is absolutely Beastly...
It’s the Audacity of Poop!
Don’t try to bring facts into the discussion— the lefties will turn you into the next Joe the Plumber.
Arnie could start gby getting the anointed one to begin with a 500lb warm up, sans spotters..
Ya, and I just about put a bullet into my TV when the state department spokesman went on talking about the transition within the state dept. and getting the required security clearances started when the president elect himself couldn’t even pass the minimum requirements to qualify for even a basic clearance prior to yesterday.
As with many here I am just absolutely SICK of what has happened to our country and to it’s future.
When Obama first made his appearances in his quest to become president, this is no lie, and something I did not expect - a chill went down my spine and a still small voice within me said "antichrist."
For the first time in his life, NOW Obama will have to produce results. You know, other than writing books. And make no mistake, he has no excuses as he has liberal leaders in charge of both the House and the Senate too.
Of course I already know that he will blame Bush any chance he gets, but since Bush could not blame Clinton for things even 9 months into his term, than BO should lose that option as well (and as fast).
It will kind of be like the fish symbol to early Christians - will be a symbol for like minded Conservatives.
And now, the world will “test” that president and his weakened country.
The Day approaches. Is this the man? I find it hard to believe. But there sure are a lot of attributes that are eerily similar.
Nonetheless, when *they* say ‘peace and safety’ ...
Jesse Jackson: You’re gonna find out what happens when you toss Israel aside. The bad thing is you’d take us all down with you.
Oy vey — big time
Getting off the train today I spotted two black women going to work helping themselves to several copies of the daily newspaper after putting in coins for one copy. Spreading the wealth from a hard working newspaper vendor, perhaps a black man himself, to themselves. This will symbolize the elction 2008 for me.
I keep imagining William Ayers offering his dining room table to help Obama write his executive orders...
Then I have to make myself think of something else.
so now Obama is the President of the world...but they accuse neo-cons (in other words, Jews) of wanting an American empire.
I don’t think he is the anti-christ. It will be someone that the nation of Israel will accept as their messiah since they rejected Jesus Christ as the Messiah.
However, I do think Obama will help to, knowingly or unknowingly, set the stage and political conditions for the appearance of the anti-christ.
He got 53% of the popular vote and maybe 80% support from the rest of the world. The hell of it is that most of those voters and supporters think he agrees with them on the important stuff.
Now we’re going to see who he really agrees with and I for one do not have a clue. All I know is that he got votes from factions that would be at each other’s throats if there were any real issues being discussed.
Who is Barack Hussein Obama? It remains to be seen.
No Obama has already told us in his acceptance speech that there will be setbacks and government can fix everything.
However; we must trust him COMPLETELY!
Blech!
“I dont think he is the anti-christ.”
Any man that says that he has been to “57 STATES” is NOT intelligent enough to be the anti-christ.
The Obamanation meant the 57 Islamic states. His crew have their own coded speech..
Who is obama ?
