Barack Obama wins Presidency!!!

Barack Obama scored a barrier-breaking victory becoming the first black president of the United States. At age 47 and still serving his first Senate term, the Democrat cleared a historic hurdle.

Speaking to 125,000 supporters in Chicago, Obama said, "If there is anyone out there who doubts that America is a place where anything is possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer." "It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America,"

The historic day was studded with several key events:
National voter turnout broke records, with several states reporting long lines at polling sites.

Many States had waits of up to four hours in places like Harlem where lines began to form before dawn.

Economy was the No. 1 issue for a whopping 62 percent of voters in exit polls - a topic that overwhelmingly favored Obama in the campaign.
