"Sasha and Malia, I love you both more than you can imagine..." why isn't the President-elect being quoted accurately in this age of technology?
An inspiring speech, nonetheless.

Miss Parker, Arima, Trinidad and Tobago

I'm Asian, and am not even American, but you must know that this change has not just affected America, but also many other people in various countries. Thank you

I have never been prouder to be an American. Just when the rest of the world doubts us, we show them why we are great. "Yes we can!"

Bob, Los Angeles, USA

His recognition of the past is obvious and his passion for the future is catching.. its what the world needs. I dont care if he's Blue, Red or Pink, he has the potential to inspire a generation.. thats whats important and different from the former manager of the Texas Rangers.

It wasn't until Obama was halfway thru his speech that it finally sunk in that he had wim. I wanted him to win badly, but was scared to get my hopes up just in case. I didn't believe it when the networks called the elections for him nor when McCain conceded. Thank you Obama, for giving us hope again

Lilly Ren, Madison, Wis, USA

Rosa Parks SAT so Martin Luther King Jr. could WALK! Dr. King WALKED so Barack Obama could RUN! Sen. Obama RAN so we and our children could FLY!
It is time to scale the heights! For, Yes We Can!

President Obama
Toot is proud and so do we, in our life time, you have the courage to stand for change. I am Libyan, my wife is German and our child is British. As borderless citizens of the world, thank you for giving our child the chance to grow with a positive look on the world.
Thank you to a grandmother who had a huge influence in giving us someone like you.
