11:00PM Eastern, FOX says Obama is President. WOOOOO HOOOO!!!

Have they started performing seppuku on set yet?

[MeanJoe]

Okay… MeanJoe just teared up watching the feed from Harlem. MeanJoe doesn’t tear up… MeanJoe doesn’t…

MeanJoe is… overwhelmed with joy.

Don’t tell no one about this, okay?

[susan]

On behalf of the people of Oregon, you’re welcome.

How many people did **Bricker **bet that McCain would win?

[Amulet]

Halle-fucking-lujah.

[River_Hippie]

Meanwhile… my local Fox affiliate now showing King Of The Hill reruns.

[pepperlandgirl]

I’m sitting here at my desk at work and crying like a baby. God. We did it.

Now Franken needs to win and Prop 8 needs to fail.

[RetroVertigo]

Yes we did!!!

[Liberal]

@Onomatopoeia

It’s OVER!!! Barack Obama is the President of the United States!!!

Um, President-elect.

[Johnny_L.A]

I wish to officially offer my apologies for being pessimistic about Obama’s chances a few months ago.

Thank the gods, our eight-year nightmare is coming to an end.

[XT]

Just landed…can someone give me a synopsis? Has McCain conceded yet or is it still too early?

Sorry…it’s hard to follow on my phone.

[Defensive_Indifference]

Wow.

[MJinks]

I don’t know if I should thank you or congratulate you.

I know we can’t expect too much but you’ve definitely changed directions today.

I’ve tried to keep my opinions to myself during this election because I know you Americans hate ‘outsiders’ trying to influence voters but…

Thank you America!

I will remember this day for a long time…
