Election Day

This is my story Ryan Janek Wolowski on being in Times Square New York City witnessing the tension and the joy during the 2008 Presidential election.

*****************

In a huge win, Barack Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States Tuesday. The 47-year-old Illinois senator won a string of battleground states that included Ohio, Florida and Iowa. His Republican opponent John Mccain graciously conceded defeat at a rally in Arizona. Obama delivered his victory speech in Chicago. "Change has come to America," he said. Obama is the first African-American to be nominated by a major American political party for President and the first person of African descent to be elected President of the United States of America.

Well Ryan looking forward to the future. It's late 2010 and how do you like your future? Sorry to hear your old mother has gained so little wisdom in all those years. You don't vote for someone because of their race. What an idiot. Now that our whole country is effed up, from this Kenyan born idiot.

What's wrong with ppl in the USA vote for someone just because it's the kool thing to do.

@MrYoungstown330 Fair play to you buddy for realizing the truth of genetics and science.

Thank you for this. Its a beautiful, historic video. If only the white supremacists didn't immediately gather more members the next day in stark contrast to our jubilation. They were planning something big.. turns out, it was THE TEA PARTY, with Sarah Palin's, Ron Paul's and Jan Brewer's neo-supremacist moments to shine. Why do white supremacist always pretend God is backing their hate? Its just like the Taliban....

Obama the first half-caste biracial mixed-race president not black
