Obama Celebrations Nov 4 Washington DC
On November 4, 2008, US Senator Barack Obama was elected 44th President of the United States of America. I watched the returns with some loud Washingtonians at Busboys and Poets. After midnight we emerged onto a ruckus scene on 16th and U Street (near the African American Civil War Memorial and the Historic Shaw district) for a wild party into the early morning. Barack Obama won 93% of the vote in the District of Columbia.
There was gridlock on the streets, but no one was trying to go anywhere. Just honking loudly...
... and having a celebration.
Some people gathered to clang their gongs ....
... and beat their drums.
Then we started a 1.5 mile journey down 16th street to the White House ...
... to bid adieu to President George W. Bush.
