Thank goodness. After three long months (much longer for those actually in the US this past year), it’s been the talk of the town. The election. Voting. Phone calls. Knocks on your door. Vote this way. Incessant finger pointing. Now on this November 5, 2008, I take solace in the fact that it is over. Now the hard stuff starts – and Fox News is so kind to point it out in this photo below (adorning their home page for the time being):
Keep in mind it’s the trouble set up by everybody’s favorite president. But I’m going to leave Bush out of this. The president at hand knows what he’s up against, and is an inspirational and unifying leader that Americans can rally around. He certainly says the right things, and delivers it in a way that will hopefully remind this country of the ideals it was founded on:
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America – I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you – we as a people will get there.
It’s great to see so many people excited over Obama’s win. It makes sense to have tempered optimism, because for so many people it’s as simple as not having Bush in office anymore. It’ll be interesting to see what this junior Senator from Illinois does.
Watch Obama’s former mentor, Charles Ogletree, set the bar real high for the president elect on Indecision ’08.
