Dear "President Elect Obama, My name is Michael Baker. I am a republican. First of all, I DID NOT VOTE FOR YOU. I am a small business owner, the father, of a 9 year old daughter, and the husband of a loving wife. I have a B.S. Degree in "Political Science", and a Minor in Socialogy. I own a home with a mortage, a small business, with declining sales, creditcard debt, which is rising. I am no one special, I am experiencing all the hardships which almost every american is experiencing during these trying times. I have been watching your interview on "60 Minutes". After listening to your intelligent, non-biased, and most of all "Common Sense" approach to our nation's problems. You have earned my support, and you are my PRESIDENT. Your idea of overseeing the "Finanial Institution's" credit policies, and loaning of capital is the only thing that will save this country. The hoarding of money by these people, which the government has given to them at lower interest rates, is the major cause for the colaspe of our economy. I truely believe you maybe one of the few individuals who see our problems as "Americans", or are the only person with enough honesty to speak the truth. When I heard your answers to the questions being asked, and also your referencing of ideas, and wisdom from the writings of presidents "Lincoln", and "FDR", You have my respect. The size of your modest apartment, which you lived in Washington, D.C. should not be joked about, but be admired. It shows your genuine attitude against wasteful spending. Your other responses to questions on national defense, terrorism, and international issues were straight foward and "to the point", I commend you for the stances you chose, and also on not giving answers concerning your "Whitehouse Cabinet" until you were ready. I hope everyone else in "America" saw what I saw during the interview and your intentions are sincere. "God Bless you and your family", and "God bless the USA". Michael Baker, Mike's Custom Golf, 829 Main St. N.Wilkesboro,N.C. 28659. (336)-667-0403

President Elect Barack Obama, you are my president. If Ted Stevens win his campaign as Alaska Senator, Will he be allowed to come back to the Senate? If so what are we going to do with the millions of people with felonies that cannot find jobs because people will not hire them and they cannot support their families? Also, if people have a record of a felony and find a job and pay taxes, why can't they vote. This is UnAmerican!

Hi, I may not be an American, but I am equally captivated and rejoice with majority of the Americans who voted for Obama as their President.
Not only have Obama been an inspiration to his countrymen and but the world at large.It is indeed an historic moment when Obama was announced as the 44th President of United States of America.
Everyone in my office were waiting enthuasistically for the results and jumped for joy upon hearing the news.
Congratulations from Malaysia and Good Luck in the next 4 years!

One thing and one thing only will save America...and the world. And its not a president, or a policy, or anything a man can do. Only an awakening to God will save us! And, its coming! Glory to God! I claim this country for God in the NAME OF JESUS! I pleed the BLOOD over this country, our President and all authority! Praise The Lord!
