Tonight is historic. Watching the United States elect the first African-American to the highest office in the land is incredible. I’m excited for the future.

One of the television commentators mentioned how Obama’s victory makes a statement to the world that the actions over the past 8 years of the US and our president might not be reflective of what the US wants. I think it’s a valid point. Our voice is represented by our vote. The landslide victory, the low presidential approval ratings, and the Democrats capturing of the House and Senate, points us towards one conclusion. America wants change (even though that word has gotten SO annoying). And we got it. Personally, I’m excited to see what that change could be.

Our children might ask us one day where we were when Obama was elected. My answer is pretty lame. Either I was in Negotiations (course I’m taking), or I was at home on the couch. Either way, as I watch Obama give his acceptance speech, I keep on thinking that I SO want him to succeed, and yet worry tremendously about his troubles ahead. The Democrats will have the House, Senate, and the presidency. No more complaining. It’s time to do something. Let’s hope their actions can match their rhetoric.
