Congratulations to America's 44th president BARACK OBAMA!

Yesterday, thanks to you and millions of other American citizens, Barack Obama made history and became the first African-American president-elect of the United States. It was an emotional night filled with tears, and excitement. I'm told that Barack shot some hoops earlier that day with friends, enjoyed dinner with his family at his home, and then watched the poll results in private hotel suite where avid Barack supporter Oprah Winfrey joined him.
