crowd at Barack Obama Acceptance Speech Chicago

Crowd at Barack Obama's President-elect acceptance speech at Grant Park, Chicago, IL. November 4, 2008.

World history was made in Chicago on November 4, 2008 at Grant Park. And I was there for it. Barack Obama had just been elected President of the United States of America and he was making his acceptance speech at Grant Park.

I was among the crowd outside the "ticket holder" section of Grant Park. The wide range of people were impressive. Young and old, black and white, drunk and sober, sane and insane, smelly and really smelly were well-represented.

He got the majority of Americans to vote for him and that's all he needs to do to prove he should be President. It's called democracy. I personally believe he'll be a great President, but time will tell. Until it does, why don't you just be happy that America has once again proven that it can be a great country that's not bound by racisim and predjudice. If you love your country nows the time to work with and for your new President not slag him. Be part of the solution dude.
