Young Americans gather near White House to celebrate Obama's victory
5/11/2008 17:00
Hundreds of thousands of young Americans flooded in front of the White
House late yesterday to celebrate Barack Obama's historic election win.
"Yes,
we did," "Change, we need," or "No more Bush," people chanted. Most of them were
students from Washington-area universities.
"It is a historic victory, and it
will bring the change we want," a George Town University student named James
told Xinhua, referring to Obama's landslide victory in the US presidential
election yesterday.
Early exit polls showed that young voters were supporting
Obama by a 2-1 margin, with his greatest support coming from black and Hispanic
young people.
