FUCK YES!
Sorry for my dirty hippie language, but I am overjoyed and relieved to wake up to the reality of ... President-Elect Barack Obama.
We stayed up late flipping between channels and surfing the net for the latest election news and opinion. Sha and I threw back a shot of cognac (thanks Alex & Natalia!) for every big announcement of a state called for Obama. We took special satisfaction in seeing two states turn blue -- Ohio and Florida. Those two states and the voting irregularities and political machinations in 2000 and 2004 were heart breakers for Democrats. But not this time. Blue covers so much more of the map than in '00 and '04. How sweet. And it was gratifying to see so many demographic groups support Obama's candidacy. More on those numbers later.
Now the hard part begins. The country is a mess, the people remain divided. But for many Americans there is renewed hope in the future and a presidency for all people. We will continue to work toward a brighter future and push our elected leaders to greater heights.
On January 20, 2009, Senator Barack Obama will be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America.
Hallelujah!
