1. I think that the world gave a huge sigh of relief following this election. Romney/Ryan would

have created serious havoc on the world as a whole.

2. They're relieved? Think how we feel!

3. I know I am. I had trouble watching the returns Tuesday night.

I was very glad to be able to do my happy dance at the end of the evening.

the teabagger mob still being in control of the House??

[Rosa Luxemburg]

8. Understood, But

that's the issue now.

We got Obama a second term-- now what?

5. Same here. I heard from several friends in the UK.

They've seen my countless posts on facebook, so I heard immediately "Yay!" "Thank you America!". etc.

But one friend I Skyped with today had no idea how harmful Rupert Murdoch is to our ability to govern. She only thought he made Britain miserable.

6. Thats great

I would think that many people throughout the world are relieved that Obama won.
