"Yes We Can"

Yesterday, November 4th, history was made. Millions came, some waited in 5 hour lines just to cast one vote, just so their voice could be heard. Thousands of people showed up at both candidates headquarters to hear their party leader speak. And one man stood triumphant. Barack Obama is our new President Elect for the United States of America. He is the first ever Africa-American President to be elected. In January Obama will take over the Presidents spot and lead our country.

For those of you who stayed up late, as I did, listened to both John McCain and Barack Obama give their speeches. John McCain gave a very wonderful speech saying that we are all Americans no matter what party, he also said that everyone who followed him in this campaign should now stand up and support Barack Obama as he heads into the White House.

Obama's speech was moving. He once again showed us why he was elected president. His speech reflected on hope, and how we are one nation. He pointed out that tonight was a historical night for America and he is proud to be serving as our head of government. He summed up his speech with something that we all can believe in, "Yes We Can". Here in America we can do anything that we put our minds to and now that we have an African-American in the Oval Office it really does prove the point that anything is possible in America.
