This is a video from CNN in the USA about reactions to the Obama election victory in Obama village, Japan; and in Baghdad, Iraq.
Senator Barack Obama has been voted United States president.
Not even Republican vote rigging, like in 2000 and 2004, has been able to prevent this.
When John McCain in his concession speech congratulated Obama with his victory, his hard core Republican audience booed.
In many places in the United States and in other countries, Obama supporters are celebrating.
Congratulations to them and to the president elect.
However, until the inauguration January next year, George W. Bush will still be in the White House, and will still be able to make trouble.
And much power in the USA still lies with unelected bosses of big banks, Big Oil, Big Military Production, etc.
Reaction to the election: here. And here. And here. And here.

GOP Strategy in Flames:”candidate who wins is the candidate who
polarizes the right bloc of voters” - Bush History, 11/5
A Republican strategy down in flames? A GOP operative, who ran a phone
jamming scheme executed on this date to harm the NH Dem Senate
candidate, says “the candidate who wins is the candidate who polarizes

2002 benefactor of the GOP phone jamming scheme; Sen John Sununu who
was soundly defeated. Also the ‘Military Times’ says that Rumsfeld “has
failed” and “must go”
