Eva Longoria said she was "honored" to be apart of the Obama campaign as a campaign co-chair in which he praised his team saying, "I didn't do this as a celebrity; I think none of us did. We were doing it because we care deeply about this country. I think for me there was a very, very clear choice for the future that I want to see for this country and I did it as my civic duty," Longoria said.

The Desperate Housewives star told Good Morning America, "I was moved to tears and I was so excited because we did work very hard for the campaign." She added, "But at the same time, it just showed that the middle class won and the super PACs didn't get to buy the election, they didn't get to buy America."

The actress who is an advocate for Hispanics, gave a speech at the National Democratic Convention in support of President Obama and gushed over the President's win saying, "It was a huge night for a lot of people. For women ...A huge night for the LGBT [community] that showed up for the president," Longoria said. "And of course it was a huge night for Latinos, and I was very happy to be a part of that."

Longoria commended all the voters who sowed up to the polls and stood in lines for hours in support of the campaign throughout out the nation, "Everybody who went out and voted and waited for hours...I went to Florida and I was there and I saw the lines and I said, 'This is ridiculous. I can't believe this happens.' We who live here in California, we just go down and it takes 10 minutes. To see people waiting in the cold and to see people who went through Hurricane Sandy and still made it to their polling sites, those are the people we have to thank."

The beautiful actress referred to the campaign's intent to move "Forward!" expecting for more to get done and people putting politics aside in order to work together, "It is time to shape the peace here in this country and to move forward, to end the gridlock that we've been seeing in Congress. I love what he said last night, 'It's not what can be done for us, but by us,' you know, referencing JFK. I think this is the time.... Hopefully these partisan politics will end and [Obama] will be able to get more things done that he needs to get done."
