At 11:00pm CNN projected that Barack Obama is the president-elect of the United States of America. Democrat Barack Obama wins the 2008 presidential election over John McCain, CNN projects, setting him up to become the first African-American to hold the nation's highest office. Barack Obama will be the 44th president of the United States of America and be sworn in on Jan 20, 2009 here in Washington DC.
This has been a very emotional and historic night on all front for me as a black gay man. Yes Barack Obama is gay-friendly and loves the gays as he included us in his president-elect speech from Chicago,Illinois but he is the first bi-racial man to take over as the president of this our great nation and i am glad to be living here in dc where i will be able to witness history on Jan 20, 2009 at 12 noon as he is sworn into office on the steps of the US Capitol as our 44th president.
I voted absentee ballot last week since i am still regestered to vote in Florida and as a news junkie even though i am not physically in Florida anymore i was still able to familarize myself with the various majors on the ballot and with the knowledge i did my civic duty as an american to vote and make my voice heard.
YES WE CAN! CHANGE IS COMING TO AMERICA!
