James McGee- All I can say is that I am very proud to be a citizen of the United States of America. This is a historic time, a historic date. We have our first African-American President in the United States and what makes me even more proud than that is the way in which this election was run.
Everyone had an opportunity to voice their opinion, and those opinions have been respected. The will of the people of the United States reflected right here with Barack Obama being elected the next President of the United States of America. So, that’s what makes me proud to be an American. We have a lot of Americans here. We all spend our lives here working trying to improve the lives of people in Zimbabwe and I think, I, my commitment working here has been redoubled with this election today. What has happened in the United States, my country, makes me want to work even harder to bring peace and democracy here in Zimbabwe. And I hope that we can all re-dedicate ourselves to doing just that. Thank you so much for joining us…and I’m looking forward to talking to each and every one of you. Thank you so much. (Applause) |
