What I think is indisputable, though, is that given our racial history -- slavery, lynchings, hate crimes, riots, discrimination, and not all of it behind us yet -- the election of a black President is a historic event. I am indeed proud of my country today.

It was quiet distinct/decisive majority. I have never seen such ques for voting. I would say people were quiet decisive in saying
(to quote Obama) 'Enough is enough!' They finally woke up and that is very important thing. That is why I see these elections as historic. Mark for becoming US president is as of yesterday hopefully set one or more level up.

And yes, hardest part is yet to come.
