As I sit here watching the presidential election results, I can't help but be incredibly proud of my country today. CBS just predicted that Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States and I began to cry. This is such a momentous day in our history. Just think, 150 years ago, African Americans were slaves! And now we have our first African American President. I think we just proved that we are not the uneducated, racist buffoons that we have demonstrated ourselves to be for the past eight years.
The election of Barack Obama proves the importance of exercising your right to vote. Your vote DOES matter. Even though the last two presidential elections have been stolen, we can change that if we turn out in force.
Way to go, America! I'm so proud of you!
