yes, we did!

(I stole the title of this blog entry from my sister, who texted the news overnight. Woo hoo!)


Waking up to the news of President-elect Barack Hussein Obama made my day! Here are a few things I am happy about and proud of this morning...

• America has elected its first black president

• We chose hope over fear

• No more Sarah Palin or Joe the Plumber (at least for a while, sigh)

• For the first time since I moved to the UK, I won't have to apologize for picking the losing team.


To mis-quote Michelle Obama, I feel proud of my country for the first time in a long time. Bravo, Barack!

get out and vote!

like many obama supporters, i am anxiously waiting not for tomorrow, but for wednesday. with the time difference, we won't hear the election results until the radio wakes us up on the 5th. i have all my fingers and toes crossed for a resounding landslide!


in somewhat related news, condolences to barack obama and his family. it seems that his grandmother did not make it to the 4th.

gobama!

Saw an OBAMA '08 bumper sticker on a BMW when I was riding home from work tonight, which would be fairly commonplace if I were at home in the Bay Area, but it's a bit of a novelty in the London Borough of Merton. It made me smile.


Then I got home to see McCain's VP pick splashed all over the internet. Major buzzkill. Are they evil geniuses, or just plain evil? (Note: it's not the first option.)


I'm voting for Obama, just as much as I ever intended.


Yes we can!!!


(Please?!)
