- New York Times: “Barack Hussein Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States on Tuesday, sweeping away the last racial barrier in American politics with ease as the country chose him as its first black chief executive.”
- Politico – “History happens: Barack Obama, the son of Kenya and Kansas whose political eloquence and hopeful audacity took the Democratic Party by storm, was elected the nations first African-American president Tuesday night – an act Americans would have thought impossible just a generation ago.”
- Barack Obamas Victory Speech [text and video]: “…And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world – our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those who would tear this world down – we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security – we support you. And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright – tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.”
