Obama Makes History-"Yes We Can"

November 5, 2008: Barack Obama addresses America after becoming the first African-American president in United States history.

"America is a place where all things are possible. Voices can make a difference young and old, black and white, rich and poor, democrat and republican, disabled and not disabled. We are the United States of America. The hope of better day has been a long time coming. This election brought change to America."

Thanks to America citizens, family, McCain, Palin campaign team members and Biden. "New schools to build. The road ahead will be long, the climb will be steep. We will get there. We as a people will get there. There will be set backs and false starts. We know government can't solve every problem. Block by block, brick by brick. This victory is the chance to make a change. A new spirit of service, patriotism and responsibility. Look after ourselves and each other."

"In this country we rise and fall as one nation, as one people. I hear your voices. I need your help and I will be your president too. Our destiny is shared. Democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope. America can change. Our union can be perfected. This election had many firsts. Ann Nixon Cooper age 106 years old has seen the heartache and hope. She has lived to see women vote, struggles and progress. Ann Cooper saw the buses in Montgomery and a preacher from Atlanta that told the people we shall overcome. She knows how America can change."
