Obama's 2008 Presidential Acceptance Speech!


As promised, here is the speech President-Elect Barack Obama gave last night to the crowd in Chicago's Grant Park. I must admit, Obama had me chocked up just a bit, especially after I saw Oprah and the Reverend Jesse Jackson turning on the faucets. Did anyone else notice the camera man kept stopping on people who looked like celebrities? (Is that Kobe?-Nope, just some dude who looks like Kobe Bryant). 

Surprise, Surprise 
Was anyone else completely surprised by how fast the results were in and the announcement was made that Senator Barack Obama was elected POTUS? I thought we would at least be waiting to the early morning to find out but the announcement was made and the speeches started before I made my late-night Piggly-Wiggly run. Btw, I read in the Chicago Sun-Times that Oprah cried on some strangers shoulders and evidently the paper is looking for the mystery man-I guess to ask him what it is like to have a billionaire cry on your shoulders...awkward...

Obama just kicked so much butt that McCain mathematically didn't have a chance to catch him.
