It's official. Channel 7, Fox News and CNN are all reporting that Obama has won the election! They are showing some of the thousands of people gathered in Chicago to celebrate his win and there are many, many people joyfully crying. I, in my lifetime, have never experienced an election like this. Not only is it historic because our country has elected its first African American President....or bi-racial President as one news anchor just pointed out, but the intensity of emotion that people are feeling over this win is palpable. People are just so hopeful that this person is going to help our country recover from where it is right now. I can already feel the weight on his shoulders and its quite a bit to live up to. Regardless, my opinion is that the economy will show some signs of recovery, at least short term, with the election now over b/c we know Bush will be gone.
Sleep tight, my friends, a new dawn is on the horizon.
