Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States on November 4th, 2008. We watched his speech made in Chicago on that historic night from the comfort of bed with our wireless connection, and laptop. There was no way that we would have missed being a part of this event, even if in such a seemingly small way.
I have followed elections in the past, but nothing quite like this. Knowing that millions of others world over were watching along with us two ordinary Canadians in our PJs made it more than just an American election, it truly felt global, and perhaps a turning point for all of us world-wide.
I do not want to make this blog political, but I had to address this here because this point in human history truly felt more than political, it felt right.......and I wanted to record my thoughts here as they are fresh in my mind.
Congratulations Barack Obama! And thank you America! I felt that as I woke up yesterday morning my children were inheriting a better world.
