CHICAGO -- A video of President-Elect Barack Obama's inspiring victory speech to tens of thousands of elated supporters on Nov. 4 in Chicago's Grant Park is available on both YouTube and the New York Times Web sites.
To to anyone "who still questions the power of our democracy," Obama offered his reply: "Tonight is your answer....It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day. 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."
