Obama said, <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLet us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.  Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House \u2013 a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity. Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.  As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, \u201cWe are not enemies, but friends\u2026though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection.\u201d And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn \u2013 I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
