Kat is doing a little happy dance, and I can't say that I do those all that often. Happy that America has come to her collective senses and "done good". In 76 days, Barack Obama will be our new president and let me tell you how proud, happy, thankful, relieved, excited, optimistic and moved I feel today. And to steal a line that I read on some blog this morning, I am happy that while traveling internationally, I no longer have to tell people that I am Canadian out of shame. Yeah, The Shrub makes me ashamed. Thankfully, that will be over soon.
Today the hard work starts to repair the wrongs that have been done and I am thankful that so many of my fellow Americans (listen to me, all patriotic and stuff) realize that just by electing a new president and giving him a Congressional mandate does not mean that the work stops now.
The one thing that I am most thankful for, I have to say, is that I could go to bed last night knowing that this election wouldn't be decided on "hanging chads" and lawyers in Ohio. I went to bed, amidst the hoopla outside (lots of horns and happy shouting), knowing that this election hadn't been stolen. That's a good thing. |
