Fantastic

Just a quick post to share my excitement about President Obama being elected. After seeing Bush elected a second time, I lost faith that the electoral system was working as it should; besides the discord between popular vote figures and the actual election results, I couldn't understand how there could be that many people (living next door to us) who thought and felt so differently that I did about social issues, war, etc. It was disheartening.

Seeing all of those people last night--all over the WORLD--rallying together to show their support for change, has given me a sense of optimism, not only for our neighbours in the United States, but for the world.
