WASHINGTON POST: Barack Obama, 44th president of the USA: Like so many millions of Americans, we savour the phrase, congratulate the winner and celebrate the momentousness of the occasion for the geographic realignment it reflects and the racial progress it acknowledges and promises. Most of all, Mr Obama's victory is momentous for the opportunity it presents to put the country on a new and better path.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE: Obama's victory reveals how far the nation has travelled. When he was born in 1961, African-Americans risked death merely to register to vote in some Southern states. Today, the nation is willing to entrust its future to a man whose father was black. His election is a moving vindication of the ideals on which this nation was founded.
