Still reeling
Matt took pics of the TV at 8pm when it was being announced on CNN. I realized that in the entire time I've known him we've pretty much never had a democratic president. We met mid-2000, right as Bush was winning.
I am proud of my country for seeing the gleaming potential of Obama and saw fit to put him in power. I hope that McCain returns to his former, more amazing and supportable personality now and goes on to do great things a la Al Gore. He has strength and knowledge which our country needs, but I don't believe the presidency is the right place for it.
It was a long, amazing political process this time around. I am glad I am still young enough to have hope for a female president, and all kinds of other amazing changes in the future of our country. We need the hope and promise of change, and I expect Obama to deliver on his promises. Indeed, our country has set the bar high for him, and I feel confident that he will be able to succeed.
