No one said that the US is the ruler of the world. Just that what we do affects the rest of the world in ways many Americans are clueless about.

Going forward to get control and mitigate the crises that face the whole world, starting with respect, good will and hope helps keep the direction change from getting off track when we are so limited in time to develop the solutions.

This election may not have been a miracle to someone unfamiliar with the American Civil Rights battles of the last 60 years. The millions of us who were and know how entrenched racism and discrimination are still built into our culture and society have no delusions about how transformational this vote was.

We have overcome: one of the great barriers to erasing our under the radar perpetuation of racial discrimination.

We are celebrating with the rest of the world an opportunity to make many changes that are long overdue. Party poopers are welcome to move on.

Last time I checked, every other country on earth can do whatever they want without George Bush's approval. This election wasn't a miracle, by any means.

Also, the president of the U.S. is not the ruler of the world. Last time I checked, every other country on earth can do whatever they want without George Bush's approval.
