It's been a long time coming, but tonight... change has come to America
5 Nov 2008
Lib Dem Leader Nick Clegg has expressed his delight as Democratic Senator Barack Obama has been elected the first black president of the United States.
Nick said:
"British voters may not have been able to vote in this election, but its outcome is vital to our future. Climate change, the global economy, and threats to our collective security now demand a radical new approach by Barack Obama, leaving the Bush era firmly behind."
