I believe that given the choices, surprisingly, the better choice was made. So congratulations to Americans for that.
I will reserve my judgment for when Obama actually starts calling the shots and effecting changes. But I think he's alright.
Well done. It is clearly an historic moment for the US, to have its first African-American President. Whether that is or should be relevant or not is another story.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
