As every corner of the world knows by now, Barack Obama won the presidential race in the US last night, and I couldn’t be happier. No matter what you may think of the Democratic Party, or Obama in particular, you have to admit the man can rally a group of people together like no one we’ve seen in the past few presidential runoffs. I like to think of myself of more of a moderate Republican, but it was just too hard to not get on board with the proposed platform of change and unity. Of course, the proof is still in the pudding, and I look forward to hopefully seeing him succeed to bring us together as a nation and make the US something to be proud of again.
It doesn’t hurt that President-elect Obama has some of the best speeches and delivery we’ve seen this side of Dr. King and JFK. If he is one iota as successful as either of those two were with backing up words with actions, we are in for a treat come Jan 20th and beyond.
And to all the naysayers and McCain supporters out there, all I can ask is give it a chance. Please.
I’ve watched this speech about 5 times on TV and on the web. Can’t even imagine how it can be topped. Damn, I am proud to be an American right now. Yes, we can.
I was just thinkin’ that same exact thoguht, but could not have said it better!
