I have never been so proud to be an American!

The shame of the past eight years, of this disastrous and immoral war,
of these terrible economic disparities, of the sinful abandonments of
the poor and powerless, and of the surveillance and contempt shown to
our people and our neighbors, is now going to lift.

This is the start of a new era of democracy, of devotion to social
justice and equality and civil liberty and peace, of good governance
and public service for its own sake.

Fifty years from now, history books about this era will say that
America's choice of Barack Obama, the candidate of unity, hope, and
diplomacy, rather than a politics of division, fear, and aggression,
marked the beginning of America's recovery from the psychological
damage inflicted by 9/11.

This is a great day.
