Yay! Aren't you just warm and fuzzy all over? That was an amazing speech, and we were there, we got to see it and we get to see the incredulous look on our grandchildren's faces when we say we saw the first black president elected, Barack Obama, I am happy and proud on this great day, November 4, 2008, and I look to what will come with hope.
A speech:
"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is the place where all things are possible... tonight is your answer... Americans 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... because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America... Sasha and Malia, I love you both more than you can imagine, and you've earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House... I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you... Millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, for the people has not perished from the Earth. This is your victory... This victory alone is not the change we seek; it is only the chance to make that change... Out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope; and where we are met with cynicism and doubt... we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes we can. Thank you, God bless you. And may God bless America.
A new hope.
