As you know history was made last night when America elected the first EVER black president. I am happy to say it happened and I am happy I was there to experience it. Barack Obama defeated John McCain in a pretty early night victory for the Illinois Senator. Obama received over 63,800,000 votes and won the popular vote Al Gore desperately wanted everyone to know he won back in 2000. More importantly, Obama won 364 electoral votes over McCain's 173. I do have to say John McCain's concession speech was probably his best speech of his campaign. Maybe if he didn't have Palin on the ticket and he spoke like that for the past 21 months, the election would have been closer. It's good to know people do care about the country and want some sort of change. It's especially good to see record amounts of young voters turning out. A good sign for the future. Below are some photos of Obama throughout his 21 month long campaign into the history books. Now I am just waiting for all his "terrorist buddies" to start hanging out at the White House and black people to take over the country. Take that Middle America...hahaha.
(EDIT: 11/6 - For the record, apparently I wasn't clear enough, but I was being sarcastic with the terrorist and black joke. Don't get it twisted people.)
