Barack Obama waved and all smiled at the crowd as he addressed the crowd at an enormous victory rally in Chicago's Grant Park celebrating his election as 44th President of the United States on Tuesday night. "If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy," said Obama, 47, "tonight is your answer." The President-elect, who made history by becoming the first African-American elected to the highest office in the country, was joined by his wife, Michelle, and daughters Malia, 10 and Sasha, 7 ."It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America," said Obama, who was greeted by thunderous cheers. He thanked his number one supporter – his wife – whom he called, "the rock of our family and the love of my life." And offered up a reward to his two daughters for enduring a long campaign, saying, "You have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the White House." Congratulations Mr. President.May the United States be more progressive and successful throughtout the years.
