President Obama

I can't express the extreme happiness I'm feeling due to the elected President Obama. I admit, at first I had my doubts. I live in Kansas, which voted primarily for McCain, so you can understand why. But when I flipped on the TV and saw how far ahead Obama was on the electoral votes, I knew.

I can't believe it. The first African-American president.

First of all, as you know from my previous post on politics, I didn't vote for Obama because he's black. I voted for him because I honestly and truly felt that Obama was the best candidate to better this country. Not to mention, I'm Democrat and much prefer a Democrat in office as opposed to a Republican. But in the end, it really does matter who will do best.

His acceptance speech was so very touching. I teared. I haven't felt so much hope for this country and have such a high respect now for this government than I have now. Just knowing that I just witnessed a historical victory is amazing in and of itself.

I will pray for the safety and protection of President Obama. There are a lot of crazies out there and a lot of people who aren't so happy with the results. Regardless, like Obama stated during his speech, "I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too."

May God be with President Obama, and may this nation continue to change, grow, and improve.

I will post his entire acceptance speech on here. It's absolutely beautiful. :)
