オバマ再選。

今日は朝からアメリカ大統領選の結果が気になってソワソワしていたのですが、先ほど13時20分頃、CNN のライブ中継でオバマの当選が確定したと発表されました。
その後、僕にもオバマからメールが届いたので、全文引用の上、みなさまへお伝えします。

How this happened

Tomoya --

I'm about to go speak to the crowd here in Chicago, but I wanted to thank you first.

I want you to know that this wasn't fate, and it wasn't an accident. You made this happen.

You organized yourselves block by block. You took ownership of this campaign five and ten dollars at a time. And when it wasn't easy, you pressed forward.

I will spend the rest of my presidency honoring your support, and doing what I can to finish what we started.

But I want you to take real pride, as I do, in how we got the chance in the first place.

Today is the clearest proof yet that, against the odds, ordinary Americans can overcome powerful interests.

There's a lot more work to do.

But for right now: Thank you.

Barack
