Barack Obama elected President of the United States

"...Because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America." -- Barack Obama, Nov. 4, 2008

"Yes, we can heal this nation. Yes, we can seize our future. And as we leave this great state with a new wind at our backs and we take this journey across this great country, a country we love, with the message we carry from the plains of Iowa to the hills of New Hampshire, from the Nevada desert to the South Carolina coast, the same message we had when we were up and when we were down, that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we will hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubt and fear and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of the American people in three simple words -- yes, we can." -- Barack Obama after the South Carolina Primary, 2008

"I stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger American story, that I owe a debt to all of those who came before me, in that, in no other country on earth, is my story even possible." Barack Obama, Democratic National Convention, 2004 Transcript of that speech
