Germany was 80% for Obama, my Berlin friends 100%.
BTW, welcome to the 21st century! Social media defined this year’s presidental election in America – following Obama on twitter was exciting :)
6:49am, we are still waiting for president Obama to give his winner’s speech.
Before he did so, he sent out an email to all his supporters:

Subject: How this happened
Friend –
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
I am curious how he will lead America for the next four years.
CONGRATS!
