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.

It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.

…We are and always will be – the United States of America.

The words spoken by our next President of the United States of America, President Elect Barack Obama. Speaking to an estimated crowd of over one million people packed in and around Grant Park in his home state of Illinois, Obama embraced the peoples’ nomination and congratulated the people on record turnouts at the polls this year. Obama has brought us the hope that has inspired us to vote, a feeling that unfortunately had left many Americans for so long.

The polls opened to record turnouts and closed with change. Our future seems brighter now, a sigh of relief and a glimmer of hope that we won’t have to suffer through more of what has become the same over the last eight years – incompetency, mistakes, and a clearly driven (backwards thinking) energy agenda.

Smiles all around – save for one big exception, the McCain campaign – but for America, the right candidate was picked.

Take a minute to watch the following video clips. The first is from the Obama campaign on their YouTube Channel, their final punch on Election Day.

I will finish off the post with a video feed of Obama’s acceptance speech. He has raised the bar in delivering motivating and inspirational speeches, but this one tops them all. This speech marks the beginning of our bright future. It is spoken with eloquence and charisma, and an energy that good old John McCain can not muster up beyond three o’clock in the afternoon everyday simply due to age.

Congratulations President Elect Barack Obama and Vice President Elect Joe Biden – Change Is Possible, and Change has come to America.
