Obama will be president!

“It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.

We are, and always will be, the United States of America.” –President Elect Barack Obama

I am so proud of my country today. I couldn’t be happier that Barack Obama will be our next president. I’ve toiled around all day on what to post here and words just cannot describe the pride I feel for our country and the wealth of hope I have for the next four years. I truly believe that Obama is what America needs right now to heal herself.

I’m sending him a congratulatory card.
