In the beginning of New America era

I saw American president election yesterday from 6:00pm to 11:00pm.
And I watched past Republican supporting states turned to blue.

At 11:00 pm, CNN announced "Barack Obama , Mr. president " and electoral vote results was 285 : 134. (now 338:162)

He is the first African-American president in United states and the only black senator in current government. He was just exposed to the media from 2004 President Candidate supporting speech expressing "One unity" for United States. And 3 years later, he was elected President candidate in Democratic party and finally became Mr.President one year after.

This is the memorable moment in the history, not only in the United States but also in the earth. He will be the symbolic president that no nation has ever had before - minority race, liberal politician, despite of lack of experience but beloved by young supporters/minority people/ ex-republican / rich and poor/ old and young/ Hispanic and white.

I am not a US citizen, and I am not a part of this historical moment, but I am deeply touched by this memorable moment and his speech - opportunity, unyielding hope, one united states, new spirit of responsibility and most of all his and Obama camp's "Yes, We CAN".

He gave the people "hope for change" and he succeeded to show the people a new American dream - anyone can be the president of united states, even though he is one of the African-American people, his father is not US citizen, his grand father and mother live in Kenya but American citizen supported him and elected him as Mr. President.

American people will remember that they were a part of this history forever , and I will remember I watched this memorable moment in Pittsburgh, PA.
