Chills ran through my body when I heard the announcement that Barack Obama is our 44th President. Through tears, I watched on television as people all around the world hollered with excitement. Unbelieveable, just 40 years ago African-Americans were fighting for rights and integration in schools and jobs, & now our leader is an African-American man. At approximately 11:00pm eastern time, McCain called Barack Obama to offer his congratulations, and with class Obama responded
with thanks to McCain’s class and honor during the campaign, and mentioned that he can’t wait for the two of them to eventually work together. (SOURCE).
WE DID IT!!!
YES WE CAN!!
I just volunteered to help Bush move and get his ass out the white house
I just cant stop tearing up. Maybe I am just too emotional.
I STILL CANT BELIEVE LAST NIGHT REALLY HAPPENED
I’ve been listening to the obama tribute by shontelle “battle cry” all day today
History was made last night indeed – but the best thing is to see hope in people’s eyes again…
If you see this video for Shontelle song’s Battle Cry and the tribute to Obama, you won’t be able to stop crying foserious!! Everytime I see it, I am totally overwhelmed….
