オバマからのThank you eメール：「Because of you」

今朝11月5日の早朝午前1時の日付で、オバマからThank youのeメールが入りました。以下がその全文ですが、「どうやってこれが起きたのか?」という問いかけに、「Because of you」と答えています。彼が書いたわけではありませんが、彼の人柄が表れているメールです。

Friend --

I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.

We just made history.

And I don't want you to forget how we did it.

You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it's time for change.

I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign.

We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next.

But I want to be very clear about one thing...

All of this happened because of you.

Thank you,

Barack
