President Barack Obama: the new era

As expected with unexpected wins in the south, Barack Obama officially won the 2008 presidential campaign. Although he's even not my favorite Democrat, I was finally converted by Barack Obama's acceptance speech tonight. 

John McCain is still my hero.  He has given a very touching, graceful concession speech.  

Frankly, Obama's victory (along with other demarcate wins), is a very lucky one due to the perfect timing of the financial crisis. Considering 90% of the black vote went to him, I have a hard time to accept this is a race not about race, at least for the blacks.  

Now that the Democrats control both the White House and the Hill, they have no excuse for the next two years.
