Barack Obama kembali terpilih menang sebagai Presiden Amerika Serikat. Hasil perolehan suara pilpres antara Obama dan Mitt Romney memang beda tipis. Atas kemenangannya, Obama pun menulis email terima kasih untuk pendukungnya.
Rekan saya di perusahaan Advertising Agency Jakarta setia memantau jalannya perolehan suara pilpres AS. Hasil terbaru menunjukkan, Obama memperoleh 51.569.975 suara sedangkan Romney meraih 51.318.823 suara. Selisih yang sangat tipis.
Atas angka tersebut, Obama langsung men-tweet kemenangannya di Twitter. Bahkan, ia diketahui mengirim email terima kasih kepada para pendukungnya. Email itu dikirim sebelum Obama memberikan pidato kemenangan di Chicago.
Inilah isi emailnya:

Subject: How this happened
Friend
I’m about to go speak to the crowd here in Chicago, but I wanted to thank you first.I want you to know that this wasn’t fate, and it wasn’t an accident. You made this happen.
You organized yourselves block by block. You took ownership of this campaign five and ten dollars at a time. And when it wasn’t easy, you pressed forward.I will spend the rest of my presidency honoring your support, and doing what I can to finish what we started.
But I want you to take real pride, as I do, in how we got the chance in the first place.
Today is the clearest proof yet that, against the odds, ordinary Americans can overcome powerful interests.
There’s a lot more work to do.
But for right now: Thank you.
Barack
Obama sebegitu rendah hati juga ya, sampai sempat-sempatnya mengirim email kepada konstituennya.
BalasHapusSaya sangat terpikat dengan statement-nya di akhir paragraf isi email itu, "..There’s a lot more work to do. "
Hmmm, salut..!
