It’s official! Obama has managed to triumph over John McCain! He is now the United States’ President Elect!

The results came quickly, and were uncontested! John McCain immediately made a very gracious phone call to Barack Obama congratulating him for his victory.

Later, a huge crowd, maybe 100,000 to 200,000 people gathered in Grant Park to watch Obama make his first official speech as President Elect! It was a somber speech at times, focusing on the problems the country currently has, but there was much hope touched on too.

Congratulations Barack Obama!
