It's Official - Barrack Obama the 44th President Elect of the United States of America

President-elect Barack Obama just concluded his first speech before tens of thousands in Chicago's Grant Park at 9:20 p.m. ( PST) and told them "Change has come to America." Obama, who made history by becoming the first African American ever to be elected president, told those in the crowd that the victory belonged to them as much as him. Some familiar faces on the crowd was Rev. Jesse Jackson and Oprah Windfrey, famous TV Host who was in tears while Obama was addressing the crowd. Obama asked the crowd "If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where anything is possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer," Obama said. Earlier, John Mccain concedes the presidency of the United States to Barack Obama and congratulated him over the telephone. He also gave thanks to all his supporters and asked them for unity with Team Obama. I was impressed the way John delivered his concession speech and it showed how good a person he was in defeat and accepted the peoples' decision. On the local news, a former All-Star point guard for the Phoenix Suns, Basketball's Kevin Johnson became mayor of Sacramento, California. The 42-year-old Democrat with conservative social views defeated two-term incumbent Heather Fargo in a run-off election. Johnson was the first black mayor of Sacramento. He put some flash into his campaign with the backing of basketball royalty Shaquille O'Neal, Magic Johnson and Charles Barkley. He wants to raise the profile of his hometown and bemoans his city's image beside the likes of Los Angeles and San Francisco.
