"And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright -- tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.
"For that is the true genius of America -- that America can change. Our union can be perfected. And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow."
These are the words of President (!!!) Barack Obama.
Words can't describe tonight. There are STILL people honking their horns and cheering in the streets. We believe -- and I, Miss Cynical PR -- believe in the UNITED States of America. Despite everything we've been through, we still believe.
And that, my friends, is America the Beautiful, of the people, by the people, and FOR the people.
WOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
