The people of America have voted, and the president has been decided.  Our next president is Barack Obama.  This election was very exciting, as the polls seemed to get tighter and tighter.  I believe both candidates campaigned very well and did a very good job, but in the end, Barack Obama and Joe Biden beat John McCain and Sarah Palin and assumed (future) presidency of the United States.  Last night (Tuesday, November 4, 2008), Obama gave a speech to America about his presidency.
