WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President-elect Barack Obama said at a huge rally in Chicago, Illinois Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning that "change has come to America."

Speaking to a stunning crowd of some 125,000 people gathered in the city's Grant Park, Obama said that the road ahead will be long and "our climb will be steep."

"We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America-- I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you -- we as a people will get there," he said.
