Yes, We Did! Senator Barack Obama, by most projections, has successfully won the 2008 Presidential campaign and has been elected as the 44th President of the United States of America. I gotta tell ya, and this his the God’s honest truth, I never imagined that the US would elect an African American President in my lifetime. I cannot express … truly … cannot express the immense sense of pride and genuine happiness that Senator Barack Obama has won the White House:
CNN projects that Barack Obama will be the nation’s 44th president. As polls closed on the West coast, the Illinois senator was projected to receive enough electoral votes to pass the 270-vote threshold. Obama is projected to win California, Washington, Oregon and Hawaii. He also is projected to win Virginia, a state that hasn’t voted for a Democratic president since 1964. As Obama built up a commanding lead over Sen. John McCain, senior aides to the Arizona senator were growing pessimistic about his chances. When asked if they saw a path to victory, two senior McCain aides said no.
Here are a few pics from Grant Park in Chicago, IL were the Obama Victory party will be raging all night long:
A few times over the past few weeks I’ve let myself wonder what it would be like to have the Obamas as the First Family and … it’s an amazingly exciting thing to look forward to now. Michelle Obama, as David likes to say, will be the new Jackie O. But the real winner here is America. We have finally decided, as a Nation, to move beyond racial bounds and elect the right person to lead our Country thru these perilous times. I’m literally swelling with pride and happiness. This is a moment that I will remember for the rest of my life. Much love and congrats go out to President-elect Barack Obama! You’ve got a lot of work ahead of you … but I’m confident that you’ll be able to lead our Country toward an amazing new future.
I hope to update this post with video of President-elect Obama‘s victory speech … stay tuned! After the jump, watch the full video of President-elect Barack Obama‘s Victory Speech tonight …
