We have waited so long, and worked so hard for this day--and it is now not only a reality, but a milestone in the history of the United States. My phone has not stopped ringing since last night. Many of my friends who live abroad called, instead of emailing or texting, because they were so excited for our country.

Thank God, thank God! Congratulations, President Obama! Congratulations, America!"
