I'm so excited. Our 44th president is Barack Obama. I am honored to be able to say I voted for him. I am excited to be a part of history in the making. As I sat with Keelie last night watching Obama give his acceptance speech I couldn't help but shed a few tears. I was so proud to see America elect it's first black president. I know alot of people are saying Obama was elected because of his race, well, I do not vote according to race. I voted for Obama because I agree with most of his policies and because I feel he is the best person to turn this country around. Obama's background is chalk full of diversity. His mother was an atheist. Barack, himself, is christian. His father was probably muslim. Barack understands that this country is not just full of white christians. We are diverse! We do not all think the same. Obama, I feel, is not going to just look at the right wing conservative issues because it goes along with his beliefs. I feel he will look at the bigger picture and know that because we are not all the same he cannot take sides. I know he'll piss off alot of fundies because he will not do just their agendas. Instead he'll keep all of our rights intact and not allow others to infringe on those rights.
Congratulations Barack Obama! I look forward to the next 4 years with you!
