CONGRATULATIONS, Americans, on your new President. And THANK YOU for voting for who I believe is the right man for the job. And major respect to those of you who not only cast your own vote but sacrificed your time and energy to mobilise others to do the same. Coming from a country where voting is compulsory, it's easy to forget that getting people to the ballots in the first place is half the battle.
McCain's concession speech was very graceful, I thought. He seems like an OK sort of guy. Shame about his clueless idiot running mate.
We've been sitting here at work, clustered around the TV I brought in for the Melbourne Cup yesterday, doing no work and watching the final stages of the election coverage. Obama's speech was powerful, but not as powerful as the shots of people crying for joy in the park.
I hope this changes the world for the better. I believe this will change the world for the better.
