Right now, I am speechless and in disbelief at what I am witnessing. I have been glued to the TV screen since 7 PM watching everything unfold.
I am so proud to be an American right now. This is the greatest nation in the world where anything is possible and the images of young and old, healthy and sick, black and white, going out and voting is priceless. Seeing the video of the different cities coming together and celebrating this victory for the United States was very moving.
I honestly never thought that I would see this happen in my lifetime, to see an African American get voted into the White House. This reaffirms to the world that America is the land of opportunity, where dreams can happen, where the people’s voice can be heard. Obama’s victory gives hope to millions of Americans across this nation and inspiring minorities and the youth to take an active part in their country.
Congratulations to President-elect Barack Obama. It’s time for the country to put aside their party loyalties and work together as Americans to fix the problems and get this great nation back on track.

It’s finally here.
Time to rock the vote.
This election will dramatically change the landscape of the United States of America as we know it. We’ll either have the first African American President of the United States, or the oldest elected President and first woman Vice-President. The past month has been filled with both positive and negative ads, news stories about the candidate’s platforms on health care, the war in Iraq, and what’s been gripping the majority of the population, the state of the US’s economy. I’m glad to see this race finally come to an end.
Personally, I’m not very into politics, but so much is going on in our world and in our country that is affecting me, my family, my friends and my job.
I voted for Obama.
Between the two candidates, I believe he has the drive, the dedication, and the vision to start America back on the road to greatness. We live in the greatest country in the World, but in the last eight years, it hasn’t been that.
In about an hour, the polls will close and the results will start to pour in. I know I’ll be glued to my TV set, ready for the start of a new, bold direction for our great country.

For the 903,092th time, I’m changing the layout and format of my blog. I know I keep saying that I’ll start blogging and keep up with it, well, I actually have a lot of time to do that now.
Plus, there’s been a lot of things going on that I feel need to be commented on: the election, the economy, the happenings on Heroes, my Fantasy Football team. The list goes on and on. I’m currently in the process of tweaking this awesome WordPress theme made by Michael Tyson. To the right, I’ve posted some of my favorite blogs. There’s some really good stuff on the state of economy and great tips on managing your finances. Be sure to check them out. I’ll be adding new links soon to some of my other favorite sites.
