Anyone else feel more proud to be an American? Nations all over have paid attention to the election Tuesday.

These pictures personally make me feel proud again.

People can hate on what you want but I think this might be a good time for Americans and their world relations.

Ya but the world always considered us as this elitist white country run by rich white guys. Now in my opinion, we have elected a minority president that really shows that America is open to new things.

Do you really believe a word Ahmadinejad says? He would just love for America to consider Iran an ally so he can be left alone and go on to enriching uranium.

When was the last time you saw a picture of people from a foreign country doing anything but burning an American flag? Now they’re holding up photos of Obama, and celebrating.

How the hell can some of you people still not see the importance of this? Oh, because Palin isn’t gonna be VP, I forgot that’s what we really needed. :roll:

not losing sleep she is not vp either. I just really hate it when foreigners feel they should determine our course of action, cheapen our accomplishments, magnify our mistakes and dismiss our sufferings. and generally pay WAAAY too much attention to us, its kinda creepy actually. and the Americans that acquiescence to these views makes me sick. I do not feel America is perfect but we are the most beneveloent super power there has ever been and do we ever get a thank you? Nope, just more whining.

I’m not following you.  
Maybe we’ll attack people who actually HAVE WMD’s now? Instead of just going on an 8 year hunch and redneck pride/denial?
