Obama Wins 2008 Election

I'm so proud of my nation right now. It's truly an event of epic proportions. Fifty years ago, the man wouldn't have been allowed to vote. I was listening to the BBC broadcasting from London, England and the major news topic was our American election. There were interviewing people from England, Tanzania, France and more, who were watching this election.

On Nov. 4th, 2008, America was the center of attention. The World was watching Barack Obama win the presidency. The World, people. It really puts things into perspective for me, about the important role America has in the world.

Do you know Gordon Brown? I didn't until I started listening to the BBC. He's the Prime Minister of England, equivalent to the President of the U.S. I didn't hear anything about that election. But the World was watching ours. It's amazing.

I voted for Obama, and I'm happy. The American people finally stood up and said, "Enough! It's time for a change. This path isn't working, we need to walk a new one." David Gergen, CNN senior political analyst said, "[its] the passing of an old order." I feel so patriotic right now I could shit red, white and blue. I love America. Change is coming.
