OBAMAHA

One of the biggest presidential elections has come and gone, and I am so happy to say that Barack Obama will have the seat in The Oval Office, come January. I will remember November 4, 2008 for the rest of my life. It was so emotional, exciting and inspiring. 

The day after Obama was elected, I walked into the office where I work and smiled to see a portrait of Obama as the desktop background on the computer. A few days later, the picture had changed to Obama running in the ocean (probably during his family vacation in Hawaii). As I smiled at the new background, I turned to the two boys standing in the office and asked them how they felt about the outcome of the election. Both boys, whom I love, seem quite conservative with their views. 

Assuming they voted for McCain, I braced myself for a rough answer. They both looked at me, then at each other with puzzled reactions. One at time, they told me they voted for Obama.

These were two people I never really brought up the subject of politics with, but found it so beautiful and surprising that they voted liberally. I feel like a grandma, getting so happy and teary eyed over this whole thing, but it's something I am passionate about and feel so strongly and positively about. Yes we can.
