Barack Obama

History is in the making, and it is wonderful to be a part of it. Barack Hussein Obama II today became the 44th President-elect of the United States of America, and it is a day that we’ll always remember.

It is unbelievable and there is a feeling of celebration that’s in the air everywhere. After a Presidency that divided this nation, Barack Obama seems to have brought us closer together.

While Senator McCain gave a very gracious and very moving speech, Obama’s speech was the stuff of legends.

A friend of mine remarked that Barack Obama looked like a Vulcan, tall and with big ears. Let us all hope that he is just as logical when thinking about the issues that face us.

Here’s to our future — hopefully one filled with change for the better.
