Written by Egypt News   
Sunday, 16 November 2008
Democratic Senator Barack Obama will take his place in the White House after a long and hard-fought campaign, defeating Republican rival John McCain to become the first black president of the United States.

Leaders from around the globe have been giving their reaction to this historic victory.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER JOHN McCAIN
"We have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken and they have spoken clearly.
"A little while ago, I had the honour of calling Senator Barack Obama to congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love.
"Every candidate makes mistakes and I'm sure I made my share of them. But I won't spend a moment of the future regretting what might have been.
"This campaign was and will remain the great honour of my life.
"And my heart is filled with nothing but gratitude for the experience, and to the American people for giving me a fair hearing before deciding that Senator Obama and my old friend Senator Joe Biden should have the honour of leading us for the next four years."

US PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH
"Mr President-elect, congratulations to you. What an awesome night for you, your family and your supporters.
"I promise to make this a smooth transition. You are about to go on one of the great journeys of life. Congratulations and go enjoy yourself."

FRENCH PRESIDENT NICOLAS SARKOZY
"I give you my warmest congratulations and, through me, those of all French people. Your brilliant victory rewards a tireless commitment to serve the American people.
"It also crowns an exceptional campaign whose inspiration and exaltation have proved to the entire world the vitality of American democracy.
"By choosing you, the American people have chosen change, openness and optimism. At a time when all of us must face huge challenges together, your election raises great hope in France, in Europe and elsewhere in the world."
