Obama Humbled by Historic Win
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008After capturing his party’s nomination Tuesday, Barack Obama told reporters that his historic win had not yet sunk in and that he planned on reflecting on his win over the weekend at home with his family.
So what did he discover?
“Ya know, in between the sleepover with seven seven-year-olds and a bike ride, I did reflect on it. And I am extraordinarily proud of what my team did and I think am most of all humbled and grateful to the American people for giving me this opportunity. Humbled because we’ve got a big job ahead of us and it makes me want to redouble my efforts in delivering on the promises that have been made so far in the campaign,” Obama told reporters.
Mr. Obama also shared little on his secret meeting with Senator Clinton last week, describing it as “constructive,” and noting the two did not have “detailed discussions” about her +$20 million debt.
“Our teams are now working together to figure out how we move forward on a whole variety of fronts…I think that what she’s really interested in, as she said on Saturday, is figuring out how are we going to move forward to make sure we win the White House.”
