So it is him. Americans casted their ballots and turned a new page.
I was standing right in front of the TV when CNN declared that Obama had won the election. In fact, the world was watching the United States on this day and the answer was finally revealed. I saw people on the streets of Washington, Chicago, New York and more cheering, singing and dancing. Many of them had tears in their eyes but more were smiling and hugging each other joyfully. Flags and balloons were everywhere.
They deserve a night like this. After two years’ campaigning, eight years’ failing glory and more than two hundred years’ pursuing a more perfect union, after all the struggles and efforts, they have come this far.
My department is so “blue” that five of us are either behind Obama or Hillary, though none of us can vote for the President of United States. It doesn’t matter. We have seen the historical moment in the world’s history, just as many of our ancestors witnessed the moment of end of World War II or the beginning of a new nation. History will go on. And our children can see more: a better future, a more liberal world, a place where boundaries can be removed.
History is not written for us. It is written by us.
So shall we say.
