Washington – U.S. Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) released the following statement upon the election of Senator Barack Obama as President of the United States:

“Senator Obama’s election as President of the United States is a historic moment for our country.  It is also the most important election in modern history because of the many challenges we face at home and abroad.  With a struggling economy and two wars overseas, I know many Arkansans are concerned about the future.  America’s working families need access to affordable health care and a quality education for their children.  They also need an economy aimed at creating jobs and investing in renewable energy solutions.  Much is at stake, and I am confident that Senator Obama and Senator Biden will begin the process of working with Congress to lead our nation into an era of greater stability and prosperity.  Their mission of reestablishing our standing in the world will be of enormous benefit to our children and future generations of Americans.”
