"Tonight we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another � a journey that will bring a new and better day to America," he said during the celebrations.
Obama will stand in the presidential elections this November. He is the first black person to represent a major US political party as a presidential candidate.

Scientists don't have chemistry
QUIRKY indie rockers WE ARE SCIENTISTS are like a comedy act with enough
backchat to threaten most comedians.
But bassist CHRIS CAIN and frontman KEITH MURRAY have one too
many 'in jokes' to make anyone else in the room really feel part of their
gang.
While they bandy mock insults at each other, they do agree that happiness
makes a good musician.
Chris said: "Melancholy is the greatest shackle that's ever been invented
by society for artists."
Keith added: "The best works are created in bed with the covers tucked
up, a bowl of porrridge and a cat purring."
To see our exclusive chat, watch our video below:
The boys giggle over the lyrics for new track Chicklit, saying the words came
from a conversation overheard on the bus.
Keith said: "I'm chuckling because I don't have to give them writing
credit!"
But they had mixed opinions when it came to falling in love with a fan.
Keith said: "The only time I've ever felt true love was when it was
apparent the person would do anything for me. So yes, I could fall in love
with a fan."
Chris disagreed, saying: "No, because there's no challenge."

Paula Abdul Banned From Dancing With The Stars
Paula Abdul is not letting American Idol producers ruin her hopes of appearing on rival show Dancing With The Stars, revealing that she is “hypothetically” thinking about it.
The former choreographer has made no secret of wanting to appear on the dance competition, stating in a recent interview: "I'd be honoured. I want to wear the pretty dresses!"
But Idol executive producer Nigel hates the idea of Abdul waltzing away to another show on a rival U.S. TV network.
He tells In Touch: "As far as I'm concerned, Paula is American Idol and our judge. It's like asking Simon (Cowell) to sing. Why would I want that?
"It's not that Paula wouldn't be good at it. She would be brilliant. But she was a dancer, so why would a dancer go on a dancing show? That doesn't seem fair to me!"
But the opposition hasn't put Abdul off: "I'm hypothetically thinking about it (Dancing With The Stars)."

Sandra Day O'Connor is developing a free interactive Web program for middle schoolers on the U.S. court system.
The program will be called Our Courts and allow students to participate in realistic government simulations and investigate and argue actual cases.
Arizona State and Georgetown universities are helping the retired Supreme Court justice develop the program.
Arizona State professor James Paul Gee says the program will teach children the importance of free and independent courts in a democracy.
The Web site will be launched this fall.
O'Connor is the first woman to have served on the nation's highest court.
