The Greatest Blog Of All Time: The Moment Obama Wins!

(The greatest blog besides Rumproast of course!)

It features YouTube videos from around the world of people going crazy the moment CNN officially declared Barack Obama President-Elect of the United States.

It’s amazing. Brought a tear to my eye.

People scream like the Beatles have just come on stage.

Now, can you imagine the same thing happening among John McCain supporters if McCain had won? I mean, sure, they would have been happy and all, but I just couldn’t see that level of excitement happening at a John McCain victory party.

Probably because most of his supporters were 300 years old and would have either been asleep by the time the election was called (or really asleep right after the 4:30 pm Early Bird Special), or would have been so excited by McCain’s victory that instead of cheering, they would all have just suffered massive, fatal heart attacks, and dropped dead on the spot.

If only out of concern for the health and wellbeing of those charming old folks, let’s be thankful McCain didn’t win.

Do you have to keep me crying? I mean really, I have been crying since the election and now you post this? I AM FUCKED

Sorry.

There would have been screaming and freaking out all right.

Just not the good kind.

I bet Canada and Mexico were on red alert for hordes of U.S. citizens fleeing the rearing head of a Palin Presiduncy.

It feels good to re-live those tearful moments! Great videos, but aside from the clips from Africa and Italy it’s difficult to tell how many of the people in the “foreign” clips are actually natives of those countries. In other words, what percentage of those crowds are american students studying abroad, americans that work in the foreign embassy there, or ex-pats?

I can only speak for Canada, but I was at a huge, noisy party where everyone cheered when they called another state for Obama, and everyone there was Canadian.
