"Thank you America" from the Guardian/UK
"But it has been the American voters who have at last made this possible. For that alone the entire world owes them its deep gratitude today."

2. They are not the only
paper to come out and publicly thank the electorate for kicking these clowns out of office....the austrailan and european papers are also thanking the electorate.

Do a search from the 'net and read for yourself....just goes to prove how really hated this jackass is.

3. Patriotism returns.
Perhaps, with Democrats in power in the US, my long-long patriotism will return once again.

What a beautiful, beautiful week!

4. Super! They understand our politics almost better than we do.
I'm glad the world realizes the citizens were as frustrated as they were, and that we tried early on to get control. It's wonderful to be able to almost hear that sigh of relief from other countries. There's hope yet.

8. I can only pray that they realize how very WELCOME
they are...I can't express how many times I felt that the whole of the states were looked at as nutcases, because of the man running things...I wondered whether the world understood, that at least fully 1/2 of us, did NOT approve of any of these things that were done in our name...It is a relief to know that they did...perhaps this is the start of the healing process...yes, we can hope....
