This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time: to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth – that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism and doubt and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes We Can.
Barack Obama - November 4th, 2008
What an amazing night! We had a little election night party at Bruce's house. The menu was all-american - apple pie, mac 'n cheese, nachos, green bean casserole, and of course the champagne of beers - Miller High Life. After the big announcement at 8 pm, we broke out a bottle of champagne.
Dave strapped Barack on his back and took him out to the election night parties. He was very popular!
