Usher, after hearing the news that Barack Obama became the 44th President of the United States, was so excited that he was almost speechless! He had said, in all seriousness, that if Obama didn't win, he "planned on leaving this country. I did. I did, but that's obviously not the case."

Usher spoke with Access Hollywood's Billy Bush last night, saying, "Isn't this incredible news? Isn't this incredible news Billy?

"Man, this is incredible. It's so incredible to see that this historical thing has happened, man. Before it was a thought of what happens if he doesn't win. The public service that went into this and the encouragement that came of it, it's just incredible to see it happen."

The 30-year-old R&B super star helped campaign for the democratic senator and said the election of President Obama is a "watershed moment in the history books."

Usher adds, "This will go down in history, in black history for all of the sacrifices that the great Joseph Lowery and Martin Luther King made, this actually pays off for their sacrifice. The great Rosa Parks... So many people sacrificed for us to have a voice.

"It was one thing to have a voice, but to eventually know the best way to use it and then it grows into this, it's just incredible. I'm speechless. I don't even know what to say.

"I'm proud to be an American right now," he added.

I'd say he's excited about Obama's win - just a hunch!
