America elects Barack Obama

Fox News called the election for Barack Obama just a few seconds after 10 p.m. John McCain delivered his concession speech around 10:25 p.m.
While I can’t say I’m pleased with the outcome of the Presidential election, I can say I’m proud of this nation for the historic nature of the contest.
Make no mistake, I will be keenly interested in every step our new President takes. And I will be keenly interested in protecting my pocketbook.
But I will say this: for my country I wish peace, prosperity and unity. For Barack Obama I wish wisdom and humility. For John McCain, I say thank you for the decades of service you have given to your country – would that we can go forward with your “Country First” theme firmly in mind. For my party, I wish the kind of soul-searching it’s going to take to fully understand its implosion and, ultimately, its rebuilding. And for myself, I wish for the opportunity to continue pursuing my American dream.
Congratulations, America.
