“A new world order”...the words of the first Bush have come to pass.

Is this a normal reaction to a Senator with 143 days of experience, who has never released his birth certificate, medical records, or college transcripts, never authored a bill, never voted on anything controversial, and never stated anything specific in a speech?

The president of Kenya declared a public holiday.

A Japanese town named Obama celebrated in the streets.

Hundreds of students in Indonesia poured into the courtyard where they hugged each other, danced in the rain and chanted “Obama! Obama!”

“This is the fall of the Berlin Wall times ten,” Rama Yade, France’s black junior minister for human rights, told French radio. “America is rebecoming a New World—On this morning, we all want to be American so we can take a bite of this dream unfolding before our eyes,” she said.

In Britan, the Sun describes Obama’s victory as “one giant leap for mankind.”

In Rio: “It’s the beginning of a different era,” police officer Emmanuel Miranda said. “The United States is a country to dream about, and for us black Brazilians, it is even easier to do so now.”

“What an inspiration. He is the first truly global U.S. president the world has ever had,” said Pracha Kanjananont, a 29-year-old Thai sitting at a Starbuck’s in Bangkok. “He had an Asian childhood, African parentage and has a Middle Eastern name. He is a truly global president.”

This isn’t just a “we’re happy and congratulations” response—this is a “we welcome the second coming of the messiah” response.

"In Britain, The Sun newspaper borrowed from Neil Armstrong's 1969 moon landing in describing Obama's election as "one giant leap heap for mankind."

There, now it's fixed proper.

To bad he ran for the United States Presidency and not the United Nations Presidency. If he was an American maybe the American people would have been the ones cheering.....

"Obama victory sparks cheers around the globe"

And when numerous terrorist attacks and nukes start exploding "around the globe" I can't wait to hear THOSE "cheers."

They've lit the fire, now let 'em burn.

Yeah they cheer now since they don’t need anything but who is going to fill the void as we tank under Hussien O.

What of the next earthquake or tidal wave? What will happen seeing as the USA will have no disposable income anymore? What about security?

The world, always there when they need us...

Sadly we will not be able to answer anymore...
