President Barack Obama: Rousing Victory Speech

Obama Dept: In a rousing victory speech early Wednesday, the president made an appeal to America's better angels, but insisted that the country was "not as divided as our politics suggest.", according to Winnipeg Free Press. "We are the United States of America." WASHINGTON - U.S. President Barack Obama begins his second term today, looking to make good on his election-night pledge to move the country forward and unite Americans following a gruelling and divisive election campaign. "We remain more than a collection of red states and blue states," Obama said in a speech that was redolent with the soaring rhetorical flourishes that were standard issue during his historic 2008 run for the presidency.
