Congratulations to Barack Obama for winning the 2008 presidential election and becoming the first African-American to be elected Commander in Chief. Obama delivered his victory speech at Chicago’s Grant Park in front of a crowd of 125,000 and let the world know that change has come to America.

Ladies and gentlemen, your new President of the United States, Barack Obama.

The San Francisco Giants held a pregame ceremony in honor of their best outfielders and as rumored, Barry Bonds showed up to participate. The crowd gave Barry a standing ovation proving that there’s at least one city where Bonds isn’t hated.

At the end of Barry’s speech (2:01-2:37) he says “I’m not retired“. I hate to be the one to break it to Barry but he’s retired. He might want to play, and could probably still put in work, but Major League Baseball has decided not to let Bonds get near a baseball field unless it’s to be part of some sort of reunion. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t see the difference between Barry Bonds cheating and guys like Rick Ankiel, Troy Glaus, Miguel Tejada, Andy Pettitte, Jason Giambi, Ivan Rodriguez, Paul Byrd, Gary Sheffield, Brian Roberts, and Gary Matthews jr. cheating.
