Barack Obama Victory Speech Video
It was a historic moment last night as Barack Obama became our 44th President of the United States. The campaign was fought hard by both candidates, but America proved their choice to be Obama. As President-Elect, Obama stood at Grant Park in Chicago in front of 125,000 people and delivered a very inspiring victory speech for all of America.
“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,” Obama declared.
McCain’s Consession speech was also gracious as he addressed his followers and congratulated Barack Obama. Regardless of the loss, McCain made a call to come together and bridge the separations and put aside differences. With his utmost love for this country, McCain declared his great support for his new president Barack Obama. McCain Consession speech after the jump.
