Election: Obama, the 44th president, and first african american president, of the United States!!!!!!!

Yesturday was really intense. I sat in my living room the entire day, following the election. We watched as Obama dominated state after state, and cheered when he won Virginia, and won the election. We all watched as people celebrated in the streets, and honked their horns. We toasted to our newly elected president, Mr. Barack Obama. I was really happy, and as we watched more and more votes come in, and more and more states go to Obama I felt like this was a historic moment.
McCain's defeat speech was pretty good. He seemed very gracious and good natured about his loss. But his supporters were some of the worst sports I have ever seen in my life! They booed every time McCain would mention Obama and yelled so loud they probably couldn't even hear him. Even though I don't think that McCain would be a good president he still didn't deserve that disrespect especially from his supporters.
Obama's speech was amazing. It was profound and smart, it was short, but it had a huge impact he looked really exited to lead our country and I think that he is the much more capable of leading our country out of this crisis then McCain. His motto is perfect, well both of them are, I really like the one "Change we can beleive in" I think that Obama really is change we can beleive in.

I completely agree wih you!!! I watched the entire election, nervous from the start untill Obamas acceptance speech at midnight. I also thought McCain's defeat speech was very eloquent. Obama will be a wonderful leader and a great president at this crisis. His personality oozes change and new hope. I believe in him.
