The election is over! Congratulations to Senator, ahem President-Elect, Barack Obama!
I was on a college campus last night. As the successes tallies up, Pennsylvania, Ohio, then California and victory there were yells and screams from every dorm there. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of students ran into the central quad and started cheering, playing music, and celebrating. It’s more enthusiasm than I’ve seen for anything outside of a sporting event, I’m genuinelly impressed and awestruck.
There is a lot of hope and aspiration for Obama/Biden. I’m proud to have been part of that, but the election really is only the first step. I’ve been a member of the permanent opposition so long that I can’t help, but be a little pessimistic, but that’s not fair either. I hope, more than anything, that the greatest expectations that have been placed on our new President will be met and exceeded beyond our wildest dreams.
I’ve been doing research much and once reading this post all I could say is “finally somebody that writes besides obsessing #with his# website figures”. great job. You just made the internet a better place after half the people online only trying to monetize every word.
