I'm so happy that I can finally say "MY" President because I actually chose/voted for this one! More than happy for myself, I'm really excited about what this says about our country as a whole. We've come a long way from the days of slavery, predjudice, and mistreatement of minorities. I am not living in a world of sunshine and posies, and yes I realize there is still predjudice and hate in this world (though I truly wish there wasn't... one can dream, right?) This election just says so much about the USA and how we're finally ready to step forward from the mistakes of our past and accept something new.
I'll be honest, a few months back when Barack Obama was chosen for the Democratic nomination, I had low hope of him actually winning the election. I really figured that our country would not elect him because he's [half] black and we just weren't ready for a black President. I'm sooo glad and proud to say that I was wrong and we are ready. We Americans can handle change, oh
Congratulations to Mr. President-Elect Barack Obama, his beautiful wife and girls, Vice President-Elect Joe Biden and his family on your big win! MOST OF ALL, CONGRATULATIONS, AMERICA, ON YOUR VOTE FOR CHANGE! I have a feeling the next four years are going to look up... after all, it can't look much worse than it's been the last eight! :)
