Obama’s speech was so different from Bush’s or Clinton’s when they won. He did not seem jubilant. He seemed touched, moved, somber and deeply humbled….
Obama was won Virginia, the Capitol of the Confederacy…
He’s the first non-Southern Democrat to win the White House in 48 years….
The first non-Southern Democrat to win more than 50% of the vote since Franklin Roosevelt.

He is one of the very few elected presidents who did not go to Yale. He went to Harvard law school and Columbia University.

And it is a great night for America.
