Exactly one year ago today, on November 4, 2008, Barack Obama became the first African-American to be elected PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Do you remember where were you when you heard the results? What were you doing that day? Feel free to share your own personal thoughts as we look back at that memorable moment in history!

Honestly, I still get chills just watching videos of it!And YES, I remember where I was and what I was doing when the news broke_SITTING IN FRONT OF THE TV_lol. But the truth is, NJ and VA elections last night indicate that the President still has a long way to go in providing effective solutions addressing the critical issues on the minds of most Americans today.Hey DJ: I hope you do a post on last night's elections, particularly on the "factor" most voters in NJ and VA say was key in their choice. And please include NY's 23rd congressional district's result!
WOW! It's hard to believe a year has passed already. But I just got goose-bumps watching this video all over again. It was so surreal.I got up at 5am to vote and when I arrived there was a line of several hundred people already there waiting for the doors to open. Everybody was polite and willing to wait their turn, but still excited about what was unfolding.After work, I raced home to sit in front of the TV all night, exhausted from being up so many hours. When the announcement came down, I literally cried and shared the moment with family and friends. It was then and still is now a very powerful memory. I'll never forget it!
Hussein Obama won big a year ago but he lost big last night
SHUT UP to Anon.It's unfortunate such a loss would come on the 1st anniversary of such a historical day.
