Congrats Mr. Obama


Last night was pretty exciting around these parts. The cheering in the halls at midnight when the election was called was reminiscent of new years revelry. I'm pretty excited to see the country came through and realized we needed a change in direction. Here is a funny article from the Onion which I think summarizes my view of the election pretty well. I was able to watch the CNN coverage of the election on the big screen at the student center with about 50 other students. Due to the demographics, the audience was largely Obama supporters, so it was fun to hear everyone cheer when California, Oregon, and Washington were instantly called. I also stuck around for the concession and acceptance speeches. I'd have to say that Hillary was right, Obama is a pretty damn good orator. His speech was very inspirational and I feel the country made the right decision. Now all we have to do is weather the last 75 days of W. We're in the home stretch now. Check out the new election inspired poll.
