OBAMA WON!!! OBAMA WOn!!! OMG!
I woke up this morning and turned on CNA to watch as a few of the polling booths close. I remember one voter saying, "To me, it doesn't matter who win, because the Bush administration is over!" Unfortunately, I had to go to school. Damn it. So, after school I ran to the bus stop in order to catch the bus home. After a trip to 711 with my friend Alicia, I finally made it home..
To watch John McCain giving his speech conceding victory. WHAHAHHAH. I was so happy XD So, after a rather long wait for the new president elect (during which time I showered), he finally gave the speech which I'm sure will become as famous as Martin Luther's "I have a dream..."
HURRAH! :D
I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today. - Martin Luther King, August 28, 1963, Washington DC
