Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"Thank you, Senator John McCain, for running your campaign as you did, holding nothing back. It was necessary that the first African-American to win the Presidency, the first Democrat in too long, win unequivocally against an opponent who spared him nothing. There can be no question now. Yes. Yes, Americans are ready to vote a black man into the highest office in the country. Yes, Americans are done with the disaster of the last eight years. Crucially, without the ability to say 'no', 'yes' is meaningless. [...] Thank you for being an adversary worth defeating, so we may have a champion worth inaugurating."
