Yes We Did!!! A New Day for America!!!


What an amazing speech! I am SO proud to be an American!!!!

Here is an AWESOME excerpt from President Elect Obama's speech last night. I think it won't be long before kids are memorizing his speeches for speech tournaments and assemblies!!

"America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves -- if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?

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 doubts 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.

Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America"

Barack Obama

I cried. I am so proud of my country!!

Here is the "Yes We Can" video - it is also so wonderful. I love this site because it also has OLD campaign commercials from as early as 1952!!!
