Here is the complete text of President-elect Barack Obama acceptance speech. If Obama’s acceptance speech could be graded on a scale of 10, I’d give it a 7. This is simply because the event itself is so momentous that try as you might words cannot do justice to what this election has already meant for America. And somehow I felt Obama’s speech lacked zing. Obama’s speech was inclusive in its ambit and spoke about all sections of society. He extended a warm offer of working together to his republican rivals.
The crux of Obama’s speech was how America has chosen to be different this time. It followed a predictable path of thanking all involved, from the people, to his family - his wife Michelle and his daughters Sasha and Malia and a mention of a puppy for the cuteness effect. He thanked his campaign manager David Plouffe and his chief strategist David Axelrod.
Check John McCain’s concession speech. It touched a chord with me and I liked it more.
