November 04, 2008 had come. And, the election's polls from totally 52 states to vote the next president for the U.S. had been closed. The permanent result is delivered and change has come to America:
Barack Obama, a 47-year-old first-term senator from Illinois, shattered more than 200 years of history Tuesday night by winning election as the first African-American president of the United States.However, Californians made a big different to the voting result. The people of a state with the biggest role where the highest points (55 electoral votes) amongst all states is placed here in California(as you can see from the chart). A big congrats for him, the 44th President of the United States.
As a result, Sen. John McCain concedes defeat and congratulates Obama.
Here are the videos of Obama acceptance speech:
One more time, I wanna congratulate the 44th president of the United States of America, the president of the blue,whiteandredstripes country. There is a proof that everything is possible. "A change has come! Yes, we can!" God bless America, God bless the people of the United States of America!
There he is: the epitome of a simple boy. Yellow skin color, dark hair; slanting, coy brown eyes underneath long lashes. Born as an IBC (Indonesian Born Chinese). I grew up in an extended household deeply entrenched in conservative insignificant Chinese culture. I was hence never encouraged either to read or to speak Mandarin. My life is so complicated, full of experiences. I perceive the world to be in balance. There is always equilibrium -- in everything, good and bad exists together. In fact, now I see my life as a continual search for new challenges by moving to San Francisco, CA. My keen love for learning Medicine bolsters me to be motivated. Although, sometimes it hurts, because life is not as easy as what I think it is. I believe in reality whereas "You Can't Always Get What You Want". Nevertheless, I also believe that there is always way to make these dreams come true.
