Obama's election victory alone has improved America's standing in the world. Couldn't get much worse after 8 years of Bush. They're going crazy in Kenya...and in the town of Obama, Japan.

he did it!

I'm so glad its finally over! And with a happy ending. Feels incredible to witness and take part in a historic moment. Even though victory seemed certain in the last few weeks, it still seemed surreal. Touching to see all the celebrations and the tears of joy.

oh boy!

Got up to vote at 6am this morning at the local elementary school. I followed in a trio of college aged African Americans up the walkway to the entrance. A middle aged well dressed white lady comes out the door, glances at us and says out loud "Oh boy!" And not a happy "Oh, boy!"

the bush years

*sigh* If this poster doesn't fuel you fire to vote...I don't what else will. Just think of how different things might have been if the 2000 election swung the other way...
