I could not hold back my tears tonight...I just couldn't believe it. My voice was finally heard.
Now there will finally be a chance for America to regain its respect around the world. A chance for ill people to afford medication, doctors visits, and surgeries. A chance for us to really support the troops and bring them home from a senseless war. A chance for a President who embraces dialogue and understanding to improve our country's foreign relations. For once I can look at my fellow Americans and be proud and for once, I actually feel patriotic.
I have always felt lucky to live in this country, but tonight, I feel especially lucky. I got to take part in making history. Less than a lifetime ago, people who looked like Barack Obama were drinking from separate drinking fountains and now, he is The President of the United States and even for that alone, I could not be any more proud.
THIS IS WHAT WE CALL PROGRESS.
So to everyone that voted for change this election, my sincerest thanks. Now let's get to work.

An amazing and historical night. I hope he can continue to be an inspirational leader and bridge many divides.
We must see what happens now. :) I do hope those troopers will come home soon, and hoping that our citizens will have better health care. xxx.
