Chills ran through my body when I heard the announcement that Barack Obama is our 44th President. Through tears, I watched on television as people all around the world hollered with excitement. Unbelieveable, just 40 years ago African-Americans were fighting for rights and integration in schools and jobs, & now our leader is an African-American man. At approximately 11:00pm eastern time, McCain called Barack Obama to offer his congratulations, and with class Obama responded

with thanks to McCain's class and honor during the campaign, and mentioned that he can't wait for the two of them to eventually work together. (SOURCE).
