While addressing the cheerful and enthusiastic crowd he added, "Across our country, people will be waking up to the news - relieved that a weight has been lifted. A burden finally removed from the shoulders of this great nation. look forward again (and) walk into the morning. The sunlight of hope, pale at first but getting stronger through the day. Shining once again on a country with an opportunity after 14 years to get its future back."
