Such ignorance in those words. One could wonder for days why people are so ignorant to the world around them, and never figure out anything.

These words were spoken to me as I was praising Obama and his accomplishments during his term so far. It later turned into a verbal fight of who's right and wrong. Then, as if the conversation couldn't have become more depressing on my part, the person simply screamed in my face, 'Obama only got the Nobel Peace Prize becaus he's BLACK.'

And, that, was the end of it for me.

My sincrest condolences go out to the family of Stephen Tyrone Johns. There are people in this world whom simply lose themselves and innocent victims are the ones receiving the bad end of that stick.

I also ask, that in midst of everything else happening, that we do not forget the brave lives of the three police officers whose lives were taken April 4 in Pittsburgh and the four police officers that were fatally shot March 21 in Oakland, California.

One of my first thoughts when I saw this on the news today, was when the right loses ballots, it resorts to bullets. Well, guess it's time to round up all of these domestic terrorists and 'question' them. This is what happens when you put politics over country. Egg all over their faces.

Yes, sir. That is what was said at my daughters' school today. No, the fact that this is an amazing piece of history has no affect on the minds of any religious conservatives.

In my daughter's school there is a large total of ONE black person. Those children have been run out of the school from cruel racist comments throughout the years.

Is there no end? 4 days have never taken this long to pass.

It is difficult to overstate the significance of Barack Obama's win in the amazing, historic presidential race. He was the right person with the right message as well as with the right narrative story and the right vision for these times to become the 44th President of the United States of America. Among many turning events and people he needs to thank for his victory, particular indebtedness must be granted to Howard Dean, Hillary Clinton, the morally bankrupt conservative majority of the last 30 years, his own campaign discipline and strategy and his own boldness of character.

President-Elect Obama has what I think is the perfect balance where religion is concerned.

He has his own belief system and ideas about life and he invites those around him to practice their own. Since he studied constitutional law and taught it, I think his appreciation for ones right to believe as they see fit, is finally going to be respected in the White House and we will have a leader who knows how important it is to allow people to be what they want to be. I do hope that the evangelical movement will finally get the picture and see how wrong they have been in their quest to force Christianity on America.

I am not a Christian. I don't disrespect Christians in any way, but this is just what I feel inside. I would never dream of insisting that others choose what I chose but I will always invite them to join me if they want to.

Sarah Palin sat down with Fox News to discuss the election and possible future elections.

During the interview the topics of Palin spending 150k for clothing, not being able to name all the countries in South America, and that she did not understand the fact that Africa was a continent rather than a nation were covered.

Palin also lashed out at bloggers "sitting in their parents' basement, wearing their pajamas" for some of the questions that were raised about her record and credibility. She was particularly incensed at the questions that were floated about whether or not she was the mother of her youngest son, Trig.

Palin didn't clarify is she was going to run in 2012, but said she would wait for a sign from God.

Today is November 10. Obama became the President-Elect 6 days ago. Before the election I delt with people shouting profanities about Obama, I heard names thrown, threats made.

I kept telling myself that after the election it would all stop. That after Obama won, they would realize how ignorant they were being.

Sadly, that wasn't, isn't, and won't be the case.

Yes We Did.

As far as diaries go, that's the extent of mine. Those three simple words.

I cried. I laughed. I smiled. I ran outside and yelled 'President Obama' at the top of my lungs. I fell alseep with the hope I've been dreaming of.

I have never voted before in my life. This is my first year to vote and what a great year to start.

I voted today for a change. In previous diaries of mine, I bring up this 'change' a lot. This 'change' Kossacks, is Barack Obama.

He is the change because he wants to fix what Bush has ruined. He want's to change America's ways. He is the change because he is completely different than Bush.

That is the exact quote I heard my little brother say just last night. While playing a rather violent car game on his playstation, my little brother ran over a dark skinned person. The next words I heard come out of his mouth were, "I hit the n*****, I hit Obama!"

If he hadn't been my brother, I would have done more than just yell at him.

My brother is 10 years old, and never in my life have I ever heard him curse. Especially not something that harsh. So judgemental.

This is what society has done to today's children. Or at least the society here in my 95% red state.

Tomorrow is the election, how will all of this hatrid ever change? Even when Obama is elected. It will take centuries to completely rid the world of this 'evil'? Then again, if we don't elect Obama, then nothing will even begin to change. Period.

Democrat Barack Obama got annoyed with the media Friday as he tried to walk down a Chicago street with his 7-year-old daughter, Sasha, who was dressed up in a shiny costume for Halloween.

A pool of national photographers, reporters and a video crew traveling with Obama quickly covered the spontaneous moment.

"All right guys, that's enough," said Obama, wearing a casual outfit and sunglasses in the early evening.

He and his daughter were walking right toward the media on a public street.

"You got a shot," he told the photographers. "Leave us alone. Come on, guys."

He told the media to get back on the bus, referring to the vehicle where the traveling press pool often waits for him.

Obama then crossed the street with Sasha. At least one video cameraman who was not part of Obama's traveling press corps followed him for a while. Obama grew visibly irritated.

He and his daughter then began jogging, and even running, to get away from the media.

They ended up out of sight at a friend's house, where they were headed all along.

In a final dash for the presidency, Obama stopped into Chicago specifically to spend some time on Halloween with his family, including his other daughter, Malia, who is 10.

Paducah, Kentucky. A small town to the far west of Kentucky. All my life I've lived around Republicans bashing Democrats every chance they got. But today -- I noticed change. And not just little tweaks, it was a big change.
