Reflection Of Election '08

“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." Barack Obama said these words on the night of November 4th, 2008, the night he made history by becoming the first African-American to be elected president of the United States and he is now also the 44th president. Obama received 349 Electoral Votes, when he only needed 270, wining major states such as Pennsylvania and California. This made me feel proud because millions of people took the time out of their day to vote, and in particular for Obama. Barack Obama's acceptance speech for presidency was the most remarkable moment of the night. He discussed change and promises to the American people and repeated the phrase "yes we can." Obama's words will always be remembered and are now history to our country. Change will began when Barack Obama is inaugurated on January 20th, 2009. Thank you America for voting for our 44th president, and remember yes we can.
