A PAGE IN HISTORY

So this morning i woke up bright and early to be in line to vote at 7:30 am. It was my first election, i barely missed the deadline for the last election so today was a first. I was excited, and anxious all day, i couldnt fathom the thought of someone like John McCain And Sarah Palin running our country and vowed to move to London if that outcome should occur, Luckily it didn't and for now i am staying put! I was watching the election results on Cnn and during commercials on ABC, I was anxious and emotional, i felt deep inside that our economy was in the shitter and we desperately needed a change not just for me know but for my children and grandchildren. So when the electoral votes were counted and it was a clear landslide victory for Obama i was overwhelmed with emotion. It became more surreal to me when President Barack Obama gave his speech. I had chills run down my spine i was fighting back tears and consumed with emotion, by him being elected it shows America has come along way by the standards we once were conformed by. Not just because he is an African American man but because he opened the door for many other kinds of little boys and girls who might one day have the same opportunity as him and now it is much more of a realistic and obtainable opportunity for them. He speaks with such strong conviction and poise it excites me to anticipate what change he might bring, troops home from iraq, more funding for schools, alternate forms of power and a solution to our dependence on the middle east for gasoline fuel. So cheers to being part of history, participating in history and most importantly MAKING HISTORY!!!Ciao!!!!
