2008 Election

I am so excited to have Barack Obama as my next president! This is truly a historical moment, and I am proud to have been able to vote in this election. Last night I was feeling sick and tired, but I wanted to stay up and watch the live news coverage. I watched as the polls from the various states came in even though I knew what the outcome would be. After the polls closed, I remember a picture of Obama pop up on the television screen as it read "Projected President" and the crowds went crazy. The song "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" by Stevie Wonder played as people danced and cried tears of joy in celebration. I was so happy, I forgot that I was feeling sick just minutes earlier. I have to give credit to John Mccain, I think his concession speech was very sincere and I respect that he gave credit to Obama for his endurance and ultimate win as president. I think Obama's speech was very well-spoken and I look forward to hearing more from him. I am also very thankful Bush will no longer be in the White House, it's about time!

I also saw the celebration for Mr. Obama and I think many Americans are ready to see some change. Yes I did think that McCain handled his lose well and I am glad he went out with poise.
