Anoche en Times Square había una fiesta tremenda alucinante y espontánea. Alli todas las emisoras principales de noticias presentaron los resultados alli en las luces de Broadway. Me parece que la policia no sabía que llegaría tanta gente porque Broadway estaba abierta a tráfico.

Cada vez que Obama ganó en un estado habían gritos de felicidad. Todas
las encuestas indicaron semanas antes de las elecciones que Obama iba a
ganar. No obstante, miles aquí sentían el deseo de estar juntos en la plaza mayor de la ciudad más grande del pais más poderoso del mundo a expresar su alivio y dicha.

El futuro probará si la muchadumbre en Times Square tenía razón de celebrar. A mi me parece que sí.

Our country has hope that there will be changes, positive changes made. Our country always has hope that things will change for the better with each new president it elects. I hope our country is not disappointed again.

Our nation is in need of repair and I pray to God that this is the "right" warrior to carry us through our battles.

"They" say things have to get really bad in order for "it" to get better. I don't think things can get any worse.

I will forever be looking for .....
the rainbow after the rain
the light at the end of the tunnel
the good in all the bad

Elaina,
In his campaign, he barely made any gaffes. This is pretty rare, because
we are all human and prone to errors. He had some powerful and skillful adversaries: first from society why still has racial divides, then with Hillary Clinton and then with the Republican party.

If the way he conducted himself in the campaign is any indication of what
type of president he will be, we're in for a brighter future.

Sosia,
Las luces (rótulos) de Broadway. Quiero verificar si rótulo is la palabra correcta. Voy a seguir en inglés porque encuentro mi pregunta dificil expresar en español:
The lights of Broadway, the lights of Las Vegas, the lights of Pickadilly.
In Spanish are these considered rótulos?

[Pixter]

Poli, yo diría "los avisos luminosos" de Broadway...

tambien: Cada vez que Obama ganó en un estado habían gritos de felicidad yo diría: "Cada vez que Obama ganaba en en estado habían (se escuchaban) gritos de alegria"

porque Broadway estaba abierta a tráfico. porque las calles de Broadway permanecían abiertas.

Anyways, I feel hopeful that Obama will do his best to deliver. He seems to be a very honest, down-to-earth person who truly understands what it is like to be an average citizen.

[Marsopa]

I am glad he won, but when one is on such a high pedastal there is only one way you can go. Nevertheless, it is a welcome change!

[Jessica]

Sorry to McCain supporters by the way.....

No es fácil traducir "lights of Broadway".
Se peude traducir como "luces de Broadway" en un sentido general, por ejemplo
"las luces de Broadway se apagaon esta noche por la muerte de Paul Newman"
pero en tu caso te estás refiriendo a que los resultados aparecían en distintas pantallas, rótulos o letreros/avisos luminosos. Pero como no estuve allí, no sé el sitio exacto (¿en pantallas de televisión? ¿En los carteles publicitarios? ¿en los rótulso de los cines?
Yo hubiese dicho
"Las principales emisoras anunciaban los resultados en los carteles luminosos"
"Las principales emisoras anunciaban los resultados en grandes pantallas.
Saludos

[poli]

Antes las luces eran incandescentes y de neón tambien. Ahora todo está
computerizados con paneles o pantallas gigantes. Imagino que pantallas
luminosas es la palabra más ilustutiva de lo que es. Al principio, lo que dijo Pixter con avisos luminosos parecía correcta, pero la palabra aviso (por lo menos entre hispanos que viven en el noreste de EE UU) es una advertencia contra de peligro. (íAviso, no se siente en las escaleras electricas!)

Well here is my two cents worth:

In my opinion, the situation that Obama (or McCain, if he had won) is walking into sucks; one of the worst economic crisises (sp) in American history, (this is not to say the worst) a 'War On Terror', and just general opposition, if his presidency goes wrong it will discourage other minorities, I just hope his presidency is for the best. I believe that having Biden was a very good decision on the foreign relations front and that Obama, himself, is a good choice for the economy.

I took no sides on this particular election, neither of the choices appealed to me, however, Obama was the better choice, in my opinion, and since he will be the next president, he has my full support. (For whatever good its worth.)

[Jessica]

no "es" at end of crisis
I hope we get out of the economial crisis.....

[Rusty]

crisis (singular)
crises (plural)

[LRW]

Thanks Rusty!

LRW. First good night.

Well I'm agree with you, I also think that Obama was the best choice as president of the U.S.A, because my way to think, hi's people young blood, I believe that hi has new ideas for his government, then I think that if hi fulfill all the that hi promised, you and all the people will see, your economic crisis less hard, because nowadays the economic crisis is hard and thought my country my government says that not affect in anything the economic of my country, it's lie, yes and yes it affect a lot of my country more in the thread of the remittance, I know that the situation is hard today, but anyway the crisis is harder because the president Bush, and I'm sorry to the people to say this, but your president finished with all the money and the industry of your country for himself WAR in the Iraq, then I don't agree expensive a lot money for a way that only are killing people in that country, for that reason your country has now a economic crisis, but I have faith that all that will change someday with the new president of the North American, your crisis is my crisis too, please remember your situation will be change soon.

I hope I'm not out of place with this and I may be a bit off from what you were trying to say, but Corrections:

I believe that he has new ideas for his government, then I think that if he fulfills all the that he promised, you and all the people will see, your economic crisis abated, because nowadays the economic crisis is hard and though my country's government says that it does not affect the economy of my country, it's a lie. It affects my country a lot more in the threat* of the remittance, I know that the situation is hard today, but anyway the crisis is harder because of president Bush, and I'm sorry to say this, but your president used all the money and the industry of your country for himself. War in Iraq, I don't agree with spending a lot money for something that is only killing people in that country, for that reason your country now has an economic crisis, but I have faith that all that will change someday with the new president. Your crisis is my crisis too, please remember that your situation will change soon.

* I'm not sure if you meant thread or threat.

Post note:
Yep, you are completely right, one County's problem is a problem for multiple other Countries.

Nowadays the economic crisis is hard but my government says that it won't affect the economy of my country. It's a lie. Yes it has already affected my country a lot. Now people are defaulting on their credit. I know that the situation is hard today, but anyway the crisis is worse because of president Bush. I'm sorry to say this, but your president finished with all the money and the industry of your country for himself . As for the WAR in the Iraq, I don't agree with that expensive waste money that's only killing people in that country. For that reason your country has now a economic crisis. I have faith that all that will change someday with the new president of the United States. Your crisis is my crisis too. Please remember your situation will be change soon.

Sí Crotalito el crisis de EE UU es ahora un crisis mundial y la culpa lleva las tácticas económicas del gobierno americano bajo el Presidente Bush. Espero que los problemas económicas resuelvan rapido.

[CrOtALiTo]

Yes, you are right, as I said before, all it's guilt of the government of Bus.
