PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA: Hello, Chicago.
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.
It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day. Video Watch Obama's speech in its entirety ?
It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.
A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain.

@CoreyStudios2000 He is not mostly anything he is 50% white and 50% black if he was mostly black then he would be like his children 75% black quater-caste. But no he is half-caste and in Africa he is White to everyone. Concieved 9 months inside a white WOMB EMBRYO and fed through a white test-tube the same white womb that is used to make both white men and women scientifically and genetically makes him not Black but both . He belongs to 2 continents the african continent and the european one.

@ldramir
I was going to vote straight ticket Republican this November until all 40 Republican senators voted NO to extending unemployment benefits, while we are in the worst recession since the Great Depresssion. I agree with the republicans on everything, but this has left a very sour taste in my mouth. I plan on not voting at all. This is essentially giving a vote to the Democrats. If they extend unemployment, they deserve re-election.
