SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Sen. Barack Obama completed his historic journey to the presidency Tuesday when the state of California gave him enough electoral votes to put him over the 270 needed to win the 2008 election over Sen. John McCain, making him the first person of African-American descent to become the nation's chief executive. The Democratic senator from Illinois completed his remarkable 21-month journey to win the election with a well-financed campaign that relied largely on small donations gathered via the Internet. Along the way, and he captured a number of states that usually vote Republican.
 
I am so excited!!!!!!

Hmmm i doubt he will change much, both candidates had similar economic policies which was to further put the U.S into more debt.

The dow should rally tomorrow so perhaps a quick long call is on the cards.
 
Thank god its over.

Can we stop talking about it now?
 
Where is Doris? Has she passed out from sheer joy?
 
Yes, well done Obama!

I hope that he is a better President than GWB, as a minimum.

Cheers,

Will be interesting to see what happens over the next 6 months...

... no sh%t!

The dow usually heads north around elections... people's confidence is high. And after this election, with Bush's reign finally over, people's confidence will be sky high!
 
I'm glad to see that Americans decided "yes they can" but I feel the poor man is up against an economic tsunamai that is too deep to fix, and he will be blamed if he doesn't. Also, this could be a red rag to a bull for all the extremists. I hope this man doesn't go the same way as a Kennedy as the result would be chaos.
 
Let's hope things change for the better. Not just for American's, but for the world.

Agreed, well done to McCain, I never liked him to be honest, but he is a gentleman. I wonder how he would of gone if he hadn't of elected Palin, but it's kind of hard for him to win when he had to clean up the mess of the GWB era.

I have no doubt Obama will become a great President, he is without a doubt an intelligent man, he'll be a breath of fresh air.

Most importantly, good riddance to GWB! He couldn't go out quick enough.
 
So Mr Glib Empty Suit got up. The hip young black dude from the Stupid Party creamed the square has-been honky from the Evil Party. Well, hooray heaps, and two and a half cheers for the good ol' Hew Hess Ay.

As usual, the triumphant man on the white horse will be found to have the usual feet of clay within twelve months.
The crowd now singing the loud hosannas will be among the first to be shouting 'crucify him'.

Oh dear, we've seen it all before...

Agreed. I think it's a great result, but Obama's got a massive job in front of him.
