G-Obama!!!

Is it true? or am I just dreaming? I think he won. He won!!! It's such a strange feeling--a good one-- but still very strange. I can't remember what it feels like to win. And even though I did very little to show my support for Obama, I feel like he's my friend, or a wise uncle of mine or something. Perhaps that's a feeling of respect. I can't quite figure it out. Anyways, I am so glad. DC went off on election night. After a kind of mellow election night party at a friend's house, we decided to kick it up a notch and head to the White House, more specifically Lafayette Square in front of the White House. It was a scene. Young people, foreign tourists, immigrants, old people, everyone was singing or chanting "yes, we can". You could even here it in the honking of cars. People were waving flags, exchanging high fives, and generally talking to one another, even complete strangers. It was impressive. Something I will never forget. Thank you my fellow Americans for voting and not being afraid of change.
