So I'm sitting here at work in our backroom reading election news and I can't say that I've ever actually been proud to be and American before today.
I'm am totally loving how the rest of the world is reacting to this too for instance Ireland is trying to claim Barrack and even stayed a wee bit sober in honor of him on election night. Kenyains pulled all nighters in celebration, parisains are planning "farewell bush" parties.
I mean sure in all those foreign countries there were rooters for McCain aswell but I think Obama was the other all favorite overseas as well, everyone is talking about how it's showing that America is changing and its time to rebuild our repuations. I feel like this election has had such a bigger impact on those involved(and not) than all other previous ones.
One line I found that I'm not sure if I like or not yet but I do feel kind of weird towards was
"America is electing a new president, but for the Germans, for Europeans, it is electing the next world leader," said Alexander Rahr, director of the German Council on Foreign Relations.
I guess since we didn't let Obama down all we can do now is hope he returns the favor.
