CHICAGO (AP) - Barack Obama is vowing to be a president for all
of America, even those who voted against him.
The president-elect cast his election as a defining moment in
American history and an answer to cynicism, fear and doubt about
the power of democracy.
His victory speech was delivered before a multiracial crowd of
more than 100,000 people. Many cried and nodded their heads while
he spoke surrounded by clear bulletproof screens on his left and
right.
He sprinkled his address with references to the civil rights
struggle that has led to him being elected the country's first
black president.
To those who voted against him, he said, "I will be your
president, too."
