Obama addesses the country

November
5

“Let us summon a new spirit,” Barack Obama says in his address tonight.

Will we be able to?

He goes on to say that with victory comes a determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.

I may not have won your vote, he tells those who did not support him. But he said, he had heard them too.

“I will be your president too.”

He says to the world: “Our stories are singular but our destiny is shared.”

And he salutes the “enduring power of democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.”

“That’s the true genius of America,” he says.
