Excitement all over

The whole world seems to be excited about the Obama presidency. Maybe now we can make some improvements in diplomatic relations that have suffered over the years with some countries.

Obama wins!

I was excited when, at 11:00, NBC announced that Obama had won the election. Although, as I mentioned earlier, I believe both men to have been good candidates, Obama does give me the most hope for the future. I thought McCain's concession speech was very gracious and showed him to possess excellent character. I really wish he could have gotten the nomination eight years ago. I probably would have voted for him then. I also was glad to hear Obama talk of the challenges facing this country. It reassured me that he recognizes the difficulties he will face as president. My impression of him is that he is an optimistic realist, and I think that is an important quality for the president to possess at this time. So, I hope he will continue to inspire hope and that the next four years will be better than the previous four.

I Voted!

I just got back from the polls. I got there just in time. I didn't have to wait, but when I had finished casting my vote for Obama, there was quite a line. If you haven't voted yet, vote soon!

Election Day!

Election day is here and, for the first time since I have been able to vote, I'm excited about it. I honestly feel that both candidates are good men and would serve our country well. I do have one I prefer but, no matter who wins, I feel the country will be in good hands. I have not felt that way in the two previous elections. In fact, this is the first time I will vote for a major party candidate for president. I hope all of you out there will be voting also. As soon as my son wakes up, I'll be on my way to the polls!
