I can’t believe it, I really can’t believe it! I’ve actually lived to see a black man elected as President of the United States! Record number of Americans waited in lines for hours just to get their voices heard…AND IT WORKED! I’m so proud, I’m so happy, I’m so inspired…I can’t even express how I feel. On November 4th, 2008 at around 11pm, Senator Barack Obama was announced as the President Elect! Senator McCain graciously conceded shortly thereafter.
Obama’s speech was touching. He maintained poise despite his bittersweet success.
Many people have mentioned how Obama’s winning this election has breathed a new hope for African Americans in the US. It’s also inspired people around the world. I feel a change is coming for all of us.
What really makes me happy is the fact that children out there (and some adults too) have a new found role model. The Obama family is a beautiful example of a thriving family unit, educated beings, and success.
I’m anxiously looking forward to the future. I was so afraid to picture Obama winning, that now, I don’t know how to handle his victory. It’s surreal!

Its still hard for me to believe, honestly. I just burst into tears when CNN made the announcement, who would have thought a Black man would be president in America, the same country that has done so much damage to our people, now we are on top, this is amazing
