Obama elected nation's 44th president
Tuesday, November 04, 2008
Democrat Barack Obama wins the presidential election, CNN projects, setting him up to become the first African-American president. I never thought that I'd see the day. In my dreams I couldn't even imagine that I would see an African American president.
This is a day that I will be someday be able to tell my children about. I could just laugh, cry, dance, shout. I'm in total awe...
What a day. November 4, 2008. I'm sitting here waiting for President-elect Obama for take the stage at Grant Park in Chicago. Wait...here he comes. Gotta go!!
I will never forget this moment...
