"If there is anyone out there who doubts that America is a place where anything is 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"

Man. I can't even breathe. This is so amazing. I hadn't wanted to get my hopes up, just to have them shot down. Tonight I find myself hopeful, but afraid. I'm ridiculously proud that our nation has come so far as to elect an African American man as the forty fourth president of The United States of America, but at the same time, I wonder if we've come so far as to let him stay there. I'm afraid for him, and of what will happen to our country if something happens to him. But we won't talk about that tonight. Tonight, we'll bask in the glory that we've worked so hard for. Tonight, we'll enjoy.

"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,"
