The eve of the election brought the highest ratings on Monday during the two-hour special edition of Saturday Night Live Presidential Bash 2008. According to Nielsen estimations, NBC won most viewers with ages between 18 and 49. Excluding the Olympics, the network won the first place in ratings on the night before the elections.

14.4 million watched the special edition on NBC, dying to find out who will rule them from now on. And Barack Obama won the presidency, making a full moment of history. He was elected the 44th president of the United States on Tuesday and the first black president of the Americans.

The 47-year-old senator from Illinois was the character of a historic event on Tuesday. The Americans, founded by slave owners and having so many years of fighting against the black people, have now decided to elect one of their former “enemies.”

And it really meant something because 47 years ago, for example, many skin color people couldn’t even vote in some parts of America. In addition, many were killed if they even tried to vote.

Obama held a speech for the people in Chicago and began by saying one more time that America is the country of all possibilities. "If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are 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," Obama told the crowd who had already had tears on their faces.

Accompanied by his wife and their two daughters, he clearly stated: “change has come to America!”
