As most of you (at least out of the few people that read my journal) know, I am a very opinionated person. I love politics even if I dont always understand them. And I like news I love to see history in the making. I have been watching the news all night. Following the polls closely hoping that my candidate will win. It isnt that I dislike McCain I have a lot of respect for him. I just think that Palin is a fruit cake. At best and most likely much worse. I just believe in Obama. I have been infatuated with him since his keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic convention. I even remember saying that year that I hoped I would see him run for president.
Four years later I am thrilled. I just got chills all over listening to him give his speech. And when his family and Joe Bidens gathered on stage afterward it made me tear up. History is in the making. It isnt just race. I mean having a black president is pretty kick ass and really proves something to me about where the country is going. But the economy is a mess and it is now his job to fix it. Rather he does or not, his decisions and his cabinet will direct the country for the next 4 years. And hopefully bring our soldiers home. (And I would like to see that while not having Iraq fall on his ass).
Im not really sure where I am going with this. I'm not even sure I had a goal of what to put here when I opened the window but that isnt the point. I am so happy. I really think Obama can bring us out of this mess and bring our country the CHANGE we need. I just wish his Grandmother had been there to see it.
I just hope that our secret service etc. can keep him and his family safe. We need him and sadly there are going to be people gunning for him.
Either way GO OBAMA!
And damn his Wiki is already updated to say he is the 44th president of the United States of America!
