Ok, so Barrack Obama won the election. (In case you live under a rock)
This is not totally disappointing to me considering I found myself rooting for anyone but Obama and McCain. But, the good news is- history has been made. No one, in my opinion, can screw up as bad as Bush (we will see...all in due time). But, I am proud of my country for voting the first African-American president in to office. Sure, I don't dig his policies, but he is going to be our president and I will support him...until he jacks up BIG. Then I will be back to my old self...hating on those in charge for being the ones in charge.
I am happy that the world can see that our country isn't predominately racist- and that racists can see that our country isn't predominately racist...maybe they will look around and say "wait, it's 2008?? We better get our act together bc I am tired of being ignorant.."

There are still going to be people out there who say America is a racist country regardless of what we do. The only way to combat the race issue on the global scale is to allow Obama to institute his policies and either fail or succeed without using race as the reason for either. If he is a good president it is because his policies were well thought out and if he is a bad president it's because they weren't.
