Yes we can people, yes we did! Voter anxiety was alleviated yesterday as the nation electad its first black President, the Senator from Illinois Barack Obama. We are thrilled.
Marc and I decided to get into the thick of it, celebrating the victory, surrounded by over a million supporters in Grant Park in downtown Chicago. History tends to draw a big crowd.
A huge and diverse crowd gathered to celebrate the victory and to hear the President-Elect drive home his message in his optimistic catchphrase “yes we can.”
Has “yes we can” replaced “oh no she didn’t?”
Marc described the event as a real-life fairy tale come true, and Senator John McCain was very gracious in his defeat. It almost felt like the whole event was coordinated. Did Barack Obama and John McCain coordinate their acceptance speeches or politics as usual?
Listen as our friends Rick Aiello and Garett Rock share their thoughts on what soon to be First Lady Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey wore. Boy did they stand out! Let your true colors shine through, even if they are Christmas red and parrot green. I personally can’t wait until the Obamas move into the White House.
