9:15AM on November 6, 2008- it hit me that Barack Obama is our president. This is the biggest, most positive world event I have ever witnessed. I remember when the Berlin Wall was taken down, but I was only like 8 or 9, and it wasn't on our home turf.
There's nothing I can say, or more eloquently, than what has already been said by any other blogger or news source (or even our president-elect, for that matter). I'll be honest- I don't see our economy picking up any time soon, I don't see our troops coming home. But I'm not worried as much any more.
This guy pulled the ultimate upset. He proved the world wrong- not just Americans- that you don't need money, you don't need lineage to be something. I have never, in my entire life, been so confident and inspired. The closest was the 1994 Olympics, but that was childish. This is life.
