He's done it!

Mitra here. The hip hop, the soul, the faces on television are making me cry. In high school, my best friend Saba used to say there would never be a black president in our lifetime. How she was proven so wrong! I am with three generations of my family who feel more American than ever, sitting even here thousands of miles away in my New Delhi living

I hope his term is blessed. This is such a historical moment and the first time I've really felt emotional about an election.

Old, but it suits the moment so well right now.

It really is something. My pride in this country, which has been lacking for many years, has been renewed.

There is such a peace over the land tonight.

My children have a chance of a future again.

Good luck to your daughter in 45 years. I will keep an eye open for her.

Congratulations President Obama. It is a historic day.

I was not able to participate in all the reports today because my building was a polling location and I had to appear to be non-political. But, I wanted to thank everyone for their hard work in reporting the election today.

I appreciate the opportunity I had to come here and debate with you, even though we disagreed about everything. But, it was a great experience.

See you in 4 years!
