Woah. First, I saw the Red sox break the Curse of the Bambino and now I've seen the US elect its first African American president. Maybe I'll also live to see flying cars.
I feel so proud of our country, and I haven't felt that in a long time, and it feels so good. And I've never admired our president the way I do Barack Obama. Sure, Bubba was great, and he was the first president I voted for, but I was too young then to pay attention to important things. Back then I admired people like Kurt Cobain and Cindy Crawford.
We're still in the middle of a huge mess, but today marks a new beginning in our history, and after eight years, at last, I am bursting with hope and optimism.
As for those jokers on the republican ticket, who I'm sure are extraordinarily disheartened...they'll be alright.
