A New Day

I felt like I should take a minute to post some brief thoughts about the other night's election. I'm feeling a bit patriotic at the moment, so pardon me for that. I think that we definitely live in some tumultuous times, and this country is in serious need of a change. Could Barack Obama be the answer we've been looking for? I'm really excited to find out. We've known for a few weeks that our dear republican party was going to get squashed in this election. I have been reading articles and researching debate topics in an effort to educate myself about Obama's stance on many important issues. He doesn't plan on doing things the way they've been done in the past, and the thought of change has made me nervous. But last night I found Obama's acceptance speech to be really inspiring. And how amazing is it that our country could finally put aside all the hatred we've felt in the past and elect our first African American president? This day is destined to go down in the history books!
