I hear you Jess! I cried when I watched Obama’s acceptance speech, and I agree that I feel like I can finally start feeling proud of being an American and not so ashamed of what we do in this country.

I’m a Brit who has lived in America, and I am so happy by the result, I can’t even tell you. The past eight years have taken the shine off the US somewhat for me, and this feeling, this hope for the future, is something I haven’t felt in a long time in relation to it. I know there’s a long way to go and this one event has not solved everything, but it’s an excellent start.

Australians can finally looks at Americans with some degree of respect, after a decade of mockery and snickering. Good on you voters.

@melanie - yes hope is always available, but this is a different kind of hope. a more palpable, concrete hope.

the feeling i’m experiencing at my college campus is just amazing, i wish this kind of ‘high’ everyone is feeling towards democracy and our nation’s future could be bottled and then sold to our allies & enemies.

everyone needs to feel this good, all the time!

I’ve always been proud to be an American. Political leaders do not change that for me. And I’ve always had hope for a brighter future. I think that regardless of which person ends up in office, that’s a hope that I will always have because for me it comes from a lot of places and not just one political leader. I’m certainly not trying to be disagreeable. I’m just saying that I don’t think we have any more reason to hope for anything than we already did before. Hope is always available.

And HOPE that we can finally be proud to be Americans again.

Some of us have NEVER stopped being proud to be Americans.
