Hello, Chicago. 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 voices could be that difference. It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled — Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America!It’s the answer that — that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day. It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America. A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Senator McCain. Senator McCain fought long and hard in this campaign, and he’s fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him; I congratulate Governor Palin for all that they’ve achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead.I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke fo...

“Change has come to America”, thus ran Obama acceptance speech on the eve of his historic victory. And what a victory that was really! The election was no more a mystery ridden one as far as the result was concerned and as if the Americans whole heartedly wanted to hear CNN or other hundreds of news channels say “Obama Wins”, the voter turn out was at a whopping record 90%, probably the biggest turnout since women got voting rights. Obama Presidential Acceptance SpeechObama speech began just before the clock heralded the new era on the night of the historic day. Obama Presidential acceptance speech began with a touching declaration in which he said that America was not a collection of individuals, not a collection of families and groups but it belonged all those who believed that the dream of founders of America was still alive in this time. It never belonged to either the red states or the blue states, and instead, it is and always will the United States of America. Obama victory speech was a real touching moment for millions of Americans that voted in this election. The Obama speech read “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.” Obama wins not just votes, not even the hearts of his voters but one and all that make the great nation that is America. See how Obama presidential acceptance speech ends, “It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America” Posted in Election 2008, Politics, TV
