Who Is It Going To Be. America Has Spoken.
The 2008 Presidential Election.
- Democratic Ticket: Sen. Barack Obama , Joe Biden
- Republican Ticket: Sen. John McCain , Sarah Palin
- AND THE WINNER IS.....
OBAMA (in his acceptance speech): "There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can't solve every problem. "
Meet Your New President
Barack Hussein Obama
Barack Hussein Obama
(haha)
I guess it really is a time for change. Early this evening we found out the results for the 2008 presidential election. Dad and I watched eagerly all day to find out the results. Glued to the TV it wasn't looking good after Obama claimed Pennsylvania and Ohio. Both key battleground states in this election. As Obama moved forward to a lead of 207 to McCains mere 146 dad and I both sighed as we knew it was over. Obama was then declared the next "projected" President of the United States of America. The republican party was fortunate enought to keep the majority in the Senate. (luckily) I'm scared for what will happen to our country now, it terrify's me to think of it. Many of the policies and view points Obama had that will possibly be implimented just reflect that of a weak and immoral nation. I sincerely hope that while we all sit back and ponder today's events - we'll realize all we have is faith, and hope. May god with be with you all in this trying time. Some are rejoicing in the great significance of this history making day (and don't get me wrong it is amazing our nation has come that far.) No one would've thought we'd elect & ACCEPT an African American candidate for the President of our GREAT nation. You see, and News teams sit there and highlight how amazing and truely inspirational this day is, all I can think of is how we don't know much of what and who Barack Hussein Obama is? How did this happen? What has US come to? We will see what the next 4 years bring us. I pray that it's quick, and not too harsh on the American Economy, Families, and Health.
Obama in his victory speech said many things, but the following quote was my favorite of the mumbo jumbo he spoke.
The road ahead will be long, rough, and not so straight. Together, we must stand to get there. With Barack as our leader, we must follow behind him; as one great nation...and hope he leads us for the betterment of the USA. If not, we'll change things in 2012...It's been rumored that Sarah Palin will run for the Republican Party in that Election:) Wouldn't that be exciting! We shall wait....and see....(It's over. I'm don't complaining. The End.)
McCain stated in his concession speech:
"It is natural. It's natural, tonight, to feel some disappointment. But tomorrow, we must move beyond it and work together to get our country moving again."
This is exactly what we'll have to do. We will all work together, and cross our fingers that we made the right choice. That we're going to wake up tomorrow and things will be 'alright'. In closing McCain states:

"Americans never quit. We never surrender. We never hide from history. We make history. Thank you, and God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you all very much."
He gave the most inspirational, and memorable speech. His calm nature just made your realize how humble John McCain is. I never really agree'd with all his policies... but for the most part - He and Sarah Palin would've represented the TRUE American Citizen.
Obama in his victory speech said many things, but the following quote was my favorite of the mumbo jumbo he spoke.
"You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime -- two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.
Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.
There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage or pay their doctors' bills or save enough for their child's college education. There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair. The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you, we as a people will get there. "
