'Hello. You've Reached Barack Obama ...'

Good morning my name is Faithy and just wants to say congratulations to you and your family and welcome.

You cannot live up to everyone's expectations. However, since the world is giving you a new start, a new chance, take advantage to not soil our reputation as the previous Presidents had. Do the best job you can...

I hope you do your best to live up to your ideals and ours.

Congratulations President Obama. Welcome to Washington, DC. I know you will do the best you can, always trust in our Lord, he will guide you. Much love to you and your family.

President-Elect Obama... The young African American boys see a rich model in you. These youths now know that they can fulfill their dreams with hard work.

Sir, what is your plan for the Border Patrol officers railroaded into prison.. One was just beaten by a gang of illegal alien prisoners. They will die in prison after putting their lives on the line for us.

What is your plan for the Federal deficit that has made our money worth less than many Bannana republics?

What do you propose for the crumbling roads and collapsing bridges across the entire country?

When are you going to order the dredging of the impassable ICW?

Are you going to order the reconstruction of light rail between cities - and recapture abandoned rail bed?

Good morning Mr. President! It goes without saying that I am extremely proud to be an American today. It has been proven that "change has come" and I congratulate you with the utmost respect and extend my best wishes to you and your family for an exciting and productive term.

You the man!

Dear President-Elect Obama:

First and foremost, I like to congratulate you on such an unprecedented and historic achievement in becoming the first Black American President of the United States. The barriers of indigenous racial divisiveness have finally been knocked down. I would be remiss if I didn't convey to you what a privilege and honor it is for me, to be a part of such a momentous and indelible part of history as I never thought I would experience such a glorious occasion in my lifetime. You have now solidified the idea that anything is possible if you believe.

Our children’s dreams of becoming ANYTHING they want to be has now become a reality. You have a daunting and absolutely laborious challenge ahead of you; however, there is no doubt in my mind that you will assimilate to your responsibilities and acclimate to your position as President very quickly. I am not expecting you to change the world in one term and you haven't deluded the American people into believing you will - but I know you will work diligently and superfluously in your efforts of producing change. Thank you, Mr. President; I look forward to calling you that again in your second term.

Mr. Obama, I didn't vote for you. I don't think you're qualified, you artfully avoided providing any specifics about your plans during the campaign, and I question some of your past associations. I will encourage the main stream press and the loyal opposition in Congress to keep a microscope on you and your Administration's activities. And, I will keep saying to myself that your time in the White House, too, shall pass.

I knew you could do it!!! Ever since your DNC 2004 speech, I knew you would succeed as a world leader!! We will all support you, and you know you have support also from up above. I admire you, your family, and we all wish you the best of luck!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!

Mr President-Elect,

You have proven me right when I told my young nephew on the day he was born that he could become President one day!

Thank You

Good morning President Obama. Hope all is going well with you and your family. Remain strong, focused, and only do what you can while in office. With that said, can I work for your cabinet? Heh heh...ok, maybe a game of basketball. Have a good one.

Always remember where you came from and don't forget where you're going.

Good luck, you're going to definitely need it. Pray and ask for God's guidance in all that you do.

President-Elect Obama:

Please remember the hundreds of black males that are murdered yearly in our urban streets.

Thank you for your attention, sir.

Mr. Obama,I am extremely proud of you and the way you handled your campaign. You were always calm, poised and you let "your light shine". Thank you for taking the "high road". You and your family are always in my prayers. May God Bless you with success; May God also assist you in making the tough decisions you will have to make in the future. You have a beautiful family.

Rose Crawley

Good luck Mr. President. You are surely going to need it. I will be watching as your love affair with the nation and the media goes south. I wager that inside of six months your popularity will decline, the national economy will continue to slide and our enemies will feel emboldened and will attack us. Just remember that 56,000,000 people did not vote for you and will be there to pick up the smoldering ruin when you exit. Love you and thinking of you

Hi sir, it's me. I hope you've already got the new "Taxation Without Representation" license plates ordered for the limo, I hear DC DMV is a drag.

Maybe in addition to helping veterans and service members, your wife could lend an ear to education and the importance of the family in education? Getting the family involved in education might also help crime.

And you should definitely pick the puppy out of a shelter. Like maybe a golden retriever rescue. You were, after all,m elected during national shelter week.

Ok, I think I've hit all the things I wanted to tell you. And pick up milk on the way home.

Nevermind -- that last was a note for my husband.

Congratulations, Mr. President! Your win has given me reason to hope again and a return to respect for my fellow Americans. Please give me a call so we can discuss the many important issues that your predecessors and fellow politicians have for so many years ignored.

Good morning President Elect Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. I am overjoyed with prayer and praise for us as a people to have you for our President. Words cannot express the joy. I really hope you have a good chef or cook for the family. If Paula Dean is not available, I will be happy to just cook one good southern meal for your family. I know in my heart it will be wonderful....Mrs Linda Beckett

Please don't forget about all of us in the District of Columbia who do not have a full voice in our government!

Stay the course with the message to the troops. Bring them home, do not backtrack.

Be different. Honor your word.

The world is like a team of superstars who are super individually, but do not play well together. Let,s learn something about team play and strive for great accomplishments together. Give us back our freedoms.

CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING HISTORY PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!

From my family to yours - CONGRATULATIONS President-Elect Obama. We were overjoyed with your win to lead this country. We will continue to pray for you as our leader, asking GOD to protect you and your family at all times, guiding your steps as he will so have them governed. It is GOD's will and not man's. Just remember, "I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me." Our prayers are with you also during your time of sorrow. We love you and your beautifully-diverse family!

The Clintonistas are comin' back to town! Change we can believe in !!!

Hey My President-Elect! It's me.

I am sooo proud of you and all this country has accomplished. Did you see all those people out in the streets all over the world celebrating our victory? This earth needs you right now. I pray for you and your beautiful family right now and know that we the people are ready to stand up and out & do whatever is necessary to carry out your presidency. Luv Ya!

Oh and one more thing you just acquired a whole new slew of haters which means you're doing something right. Shake em off baby and keep it moving lol. Hit me back when you have a chance. ttyl

Please help Gays and Lesbians obtain our rights as American citizens.

Hello, Mr. President-Elect! I want to say that I do understand that you will not be able to miraculously fix everything that's wrong with our nation. However, already you have fixed something for me that was broken--my hope. You have given me hope. It's the best early Christmas gift, ever. Thank you.

All the best to you and your family.

It was well worth the wait. I'm so happy that my mother & mother-in-law lived to see this historical day. May the peace of the Lord be with you, your family and everyone who is praying for this adminstation to do well. For all of the people of this great Nation including the 43% who had a different vision for this Country may God bless you and the United States of America. There are many different flowers in the garden of life, some will faded and there seeds will fall to the ground or be blowed in the wind to a different place in time. However all of these flowers no matter there color, shape or form will be everlasting in this great Nation and we hope you will continue to nourish all of these different flowers in your administration and they will survive for eternity in this country's vase of life. the test of any relationship is to disagree, while holding each other’s hands and this Nation will survive. I truly believe all things are possible if you only believe. Yes I also believe there is a Santa Claus in our hearts.

Much sucess

l_Little31 said it all!

Congratulations to you and to welcome your beautiful Wife and Daughters to DC. YES WE CAN!

When my son was born the first thing a nurse in the room said was he is sooo cute...One day he will be President!
Oh my God (how did she know)....now we all know this can happen! He already wants to be a lawyer and then a judge...he was so excited when you won as he called me from his college I could hear the happiness in his voice for you, so you give our children hope and for that I THANK YOU!

First, congratulations, Mr. President-elect! You have been chosen for the hardest possible job. A job others simply don't won't and a job some will never have. Your election is historic and triumphant. We cannot emphasize that enough. However, problems exist and are compounding everyday.

1. You have inherited a strong executive office. One that oversees two foreign wars, military bases at home and abroad, a faltering economy, and, not to mention, a bloated bureaucracy. It should be your job to shrink the office as soon as possible. Otherwise, the problems we face now may continue and new ones may arise -- lack of liberty, more wars, etc.

2. You should use the opportunity of your election to better relations with our allies and adversaries. Because you are seen as transformational figure for the United States, this could afford you the political capital to strengthen our relations abroad. It is time the name of the United States no longer be the punchline of a joke.

3. End both wars. Yes, both of them. You have stated you would act against Pakistan--preemptively--if a threat there emerged. In order you don't do that, get the United States out of Central Asia and Iraq. This would save the United States people monetary treasure as well as human treasure.

4. You should use your positive personality to help end the war on drugs. As a person who lives in a large city, you well know the flaws of the drug war. It disproportionally affects minority and low-income communities and it infringes upon everyone's rights--even the world's. Stop being a hyporcite. You yourself have used drugs. Do you want to continue punishing people who do the same things you've done?

These four things are well within your capability of doing. After all, you have inherited an inordinate amount of executive power. So, instead of using that power positively, id est, to increase government power. Use your newly inherited powers negatively--to subtract from government power.

Your work is cut out for you, sir. But it is well within your grasp to take care of the challenges facing America now and in the future.

Again, contratulations, Mr. Obama.

Dear President Elect Obama,
Would you please start referring to yourself and others as AMERICANS and not African Americans? Best wishes in your term and may God Bless you, your family and America.

Congratulations! Could you please arrange for Eugene Allen (see today's Post!) to have a front row set at the Inauguration?
His wife will be watching from heaven, but me deserves the next best view.
Best wishes for the next 4 years.

Good afternoon from Belize, Central America.

Congratulations on your victory and best wishes on the next four years in office.

Don't forget your brothers and sisters in Africa, the Caribbean and the Americas. They look up to you too.

Ignore the haters. Better yet, prove them wrong.

And finally, drop by Belize sometime. Michelle and the kids would love it.

I'll be praying for your and your family - the very best of luck to you!!

Mr. President, You're hope of millions of Americans and billions around the world. Everyone has looked up to America in the past (but not in the past 8 years) and they love our history, culture, and our way of living. I know you will do your best to keep that image here and abroad! Good Luck and God bless you and America!

Congratulations to you and your beautiful family. God Bless you always.

From the Norris Family, Mitchellville Md.

Congradulations!!!
About Iran, please respond as positively as they have done in writing to you, but not in a way that especially offends Israel.
Keep on reaching across the aisle. You have the chance to do what FDR did years ago, and make a real difference for our world, and our future.
I am extremely proud of you and of what you have done. My grandfasther was a "friendly racist" -- he did not mistreat people of color, but wanted them to "stay in their place." You are in their/ your place now! If I were a pentecostal, I'd be scream Hallelujah! in heavenly and earthly tongues right now!
It is good to be allowed to FREELY think once more! Now IS the time. Go get 'em!
Ron Blackington

You and your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you Mr. President for showing my son and the other young child of all nationality that they can be what ever you want to be by working hard and believing in yourself. Sometimes we as young people get discouraged because those words are sometimes better said than done. So thank you Mr. President Barack Obama.

President- Elect Obama, as an educator I rejoice in the refreshing events this election time has brought about. I see before me a role model for the many male students that I teach. You are family- oriented, walk with integrity, and speak with boldness. May God bless you, your family, and our country continually.

What a magnificent accomplishment! I hope that this will inspire black childrent to stay in school and complete their education so that the population of blacks in our colleges and universities increases
while the number of incarcerated blacks continues to decrease. Yes we can, indeed

CAN YOU DO THIS COUNTRY A HUGE FAVOR AND LEGALIZE MARIJUANA ALREADY? YOU WROTE IN YOUR BIOGRAPHY THAT YOU USED TO USE MARIJUANA AND COCAINE, WHICH I APPLAUD YOU FOR, ENOUGH LOCKING UP US NON VIOLENT DRUG OFFENDERS! LETS REALLY MAKE A CHANGE.

To much who is given, much is expected!

God's Speed!

Shodah Mr. President,
Congratulations on our great VICTORY! Would you and Michelle please consider stopping by the American Indian Inaugural Ball?

Good luck on your speech this evening!

Mr. Obama,
As a Canadian I must congratulate the American people for having overcome their history and electing you as President. I wish you and our confreres of the USA the best of luck for the next four years. May your promise be fulfilled.
I would also like to say that you could truly become a historical figure by appointing and Native American to a senior cabinet post, witness Canada's Health Minister who is an Inuit. Perhaps then American can fulfill it's destiny.

Yes We Did!

Hi Mr. President-elect, congratulations and best wishes for a safe and smooth transition. We've been waiting a long time to meet you, and it sure is nice to feel this good about America!

President Elect Obama,
Congratulations!!! Know that the American people, do not expect perfection or magic. When you fall or fail, get back up, learn from the mistake and be honest and say that you have made an error. Who among us has not made a mistake. I know that the vast majority of American people will support you if you are honest with us. Avoid the temptation to cover up mistakes. They only come back to haunt you later. Surround yourself with people who will give you wise, Godly counsel.

We've got your back, Mr. President.

Love to you, Michelle, Sasha and Maila. God Bless.

Can I sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom?

Now that your in, don't worry about meeting everyone's expectations, let there expectations meet your accomplishments. We are behind you as a nation BRU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to you and your family. I am sure you will do a great job. May GOD be with you and your family. I have been waiting for a change to come and I know it will not happen overnight but it will come.
Also, I am interested in working for you. I am a legal secretary and am currently working for the DC Government. I have worked for DC law firms for over 15 years. If you are interested, please contact via e-mail. Thanks again for being who you are.

Go Barack! Crush the right wing cabal! And I approve this message! Yeagh!

You get those sweet girls the type of puppy that they want. They have had a hard two years. Do not feel pressured to get one that is not for them. Also, send them to the school that is right for them. Never sacrifice what is best for them for a few days of good public relations. God Bless you and yours.

Hello President Obama, Would you please consider making Hilary Clinton Secretary of State? I think she would make a great one and it would stop her from trying to run in 2012, because if she is part of the cabinet, she can't run against herself.

Mr Obama,
Until the results of the election was given, I was VERY SUPPORTIVE of Senator McCain's bid to become our next POTUS. Since your election, I have changed my stance on a few issues.

Our country was founded on the principal that ALL men are created equal, and that ANYONE could assend to become the next POTUS. America, thanks to Bush 43, needs lots of help, to bring itself out of the resession we currently find ourselves in, not only that, we need to win back the respect of all the nations on Earth, to bring about peace & harmony.

I wish you success in your future in Washington. Remember to stand to the right, walk to the left when riding METRO escalators. Bob Ryan (NBC4) gives the best weather forecasts. You may root for Da Bears, but this is REDSKINS country.

In closing, I wish other Americans would also CHANGE their beliefs & support you, as we CHANGE America. You have my support.

I would say "prove to use that you are really a citizen of the United States". I don't want to see a photocopied and altered birth certificate. Show me the real thing.

Congratulations President-Elect Obama.

I encourage you to place the Lord first in your life and in every decision you make. Please mediate on Psalm 1 and Psalm 91. I will continue to pray for spiritual discernment and protection for you and your family.

Congratulations on an inspiring campaign. We are all proud of you. After things get settled, but not too long, please, please think about how people can get jobs. I think this is the biggest issue this country has right now.

President-elect Obama:
First of all, congratulations! Secondly, please read the article in The Washington Post about Eugene Allen, the former butler of the White House, and invite him to the White House to meet with you and Mrs. Obama, Malia and Sasha, and to celebrate his years of service to past presidents. His wife died the day before your election. Please.

Congratulations President-elect Obama. We fought for you all the way, and, prayed for you. We continue to follow and pray for you as you have what seems as an insurmountable job ahead. You will do fine. Have a nice day.

Good politician. So were Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. Let's see what kind of statesman you make. Even a governor has much more experience to be President than a one-term senator (even a governor of the tiny state of Arkansas) who has never held a real job. You're smart, yes, you're even cocky but let's see if you truly represent all Americans - even those champions of business who you mock.

By the way, I don't consider Warren Buffet a businessman, just another lucky person who also has never held a real job, but is most certainly running out of his investor luck. Let's all wish you the best of luck, especially since you're lucky the economic downturn started now and will, by no help of government, be coming out of it in 2011.

I am thrilled that you and your family will be my new neighbors in DC. You can count on me to tell everyone not to expect change overnight. WE are in bad shape and it's going to take time. I have faith in you and voted for you because you're brilliant and most qualified to get us out of this mess. God bless you and your family. ON SCHOOLS: Don't feel pressured to enroll your daughters in public. I'm sure that you and Michelle will make the right choices to shield and protect your children and to pick the school that best serves their needs. The mayor doesn't have his kids in public school either. ON DOGS: Please consider a Bichon Frise. (1) hyper-allergenic and no shedding! (2) fun loving, good with children, smart with lots of personality and will declare itself as a member of the family. They are also beautiful when groomed. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, a Merry Xmas and I look forward to starting the new year with change we can believe in!

Blue ties are tiresome after eight years of George Bush. Consider buying some new ties, please.

Congratulation Obama, I wish we can get rid of the windfall law, I am living on a fix income and if the windfall law be lifted that would help, than i can receive my full social security annuity, that will be a blessing. This is way over due.

Dear President-Elect:

There are two words to describe your historic victory "Divine Intervention". Like the Messiah, the greatest COMMUNITY ORGANIZER who walked this earth 2000+ years ago "YOU ARE BLESSED" and HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO DELIVER THIS LAND. YOUR ACCESSION TO THE PRESIDENCY IS NO ACCIDENT. IT IS SO ORDAINED. GOD promised in His word that someone would rise up to deliver the land. It is my strong belief that you, as the next president of the US, are that one.

Ray and Joy T

Repeal the Patriot Act. It is a really intended to stifle the voice of change in America.

I would only ask that Mr. Obama remember the words of the first democrat, Thomas Jefferson, who said ""Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. "

Let's get this party started right!
Enjoyed knocking on doors,calling homes and attending rallies on your behalf.
Nothing wrong with having fun as long as the job gets done.
We turned North Carolina B-L-U-E
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Thanks BARACK for all your hard work and the motivation you sparked in the people and THANK YOU AMERICA. We woke up. Volunteers - you are the greatest . . . .

Congratulations! From my family to yours, WELCOME TO DC. WE will do our part in making sure that everyone understands that change will not come overnight. WE didn't get in this mess overnight. I have faith that you have what it takes to see us through this crisis. Our country and our world will get stronger with you as our leader. ON SCHOOLS: Don't buy into the pressure of going public or private. You will make the best decision for the safety and the educational needs of your children. The mayor's children are not in public school either. ON DOGS: A Bichon Frise is the best! They don't shed. They are fun-loving, high energy and smart. They are great awith kids. They are gorgous dogs and they start out declaring themselves as part of the family. You will love them. I have one who is now 17 years old. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

Good morning/afternoon President Obama!!

I am so elated over you win, CONGRATULATIONS!! YES WE CAN & WE DID!!
We are in for a huge up hill battle and please remember we are all right here behind you to help you up that rough side of the mountain.

Oh and for the record you are NO MUTT, your new hypoallergenic dog may be but you sir are not.

Well, I have to go now so have a wonderfully blessed day!!

Leave America and take your un-American friends with you.

You are our hope and inspiration. God Bless you and the important work you are about to do. You have appealed to man's better angels. May those angels protect you.

Mr. President Elect:

Your accession to the highest office can be summarized in two words "Divine Intervention". Everyone please read 1 Samuel - Chapter 16. GOD promised to appoint a king to deliver the land and he is fulfilling that promise. May GOD continue to guide your footsteps. Love to your family also.

Ray and Joy

quit smoking and doing other drugs

Congratulations to you and your family and may God bless you. We are proud of the way that you carried yourself and presented yourself as a man of high integrity, you are to be commended.
