Here's an understatement. The US 2008 presidential election campaign has been exciting. At times for me, even stressful. The election of the 44th president of the United States may very well be the most historic and important election in this country's history. President Barack Obama not only has become the first African-American president but will have the full support of a Democratic party led Congress.
We have finally (sweet Jesus it took forever didn't it?) seen the demise of the Republican party that was jacked up by the George W. Bush administration and the handling of the economic crisis that is currently kicking our country in the backside. Now, as the USA is in full recession, can we say that the ghosts of the past are rising?
What a ride. For some, it took awhile before they boarded the Obama express train. There were specifics that had to be acknowledged. What exactly was the Jr. Senator from Illinois bringing inside all of those candid speeches and fancy words? Charisma can only go so far after all. But that was yesterday and I'm not one to look back. It's all about the future now.
Will a Barack Obama and a Joe Biden administration launch a new deal in the style of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt? (Do your google search on what FDR did when he got into the White House) For now, we savor this sweet victory as we look forward to a new and wise government from the White House.
Here's to a brand new day...
