I tried, but was unable to stay awake much past 10pm last night. By the time I drifted off though, it was pretty clear that Barack Obama was going to win.
Although he wasn't my first choice to get the democratic nomination, I voted for him and will support his presidency as much as I can. I think he is a good guy, energetic, smart and willing and able to listen to others.
I gotta think though, there there must have been a point last night where he excused himself and went to the bathroom to throw up. What a load he has volunteered to take on!
Back to art tomorrow....
true, my admiration for anyonoe whoo would take this job on.
ReplyDeleteI stayed up through the night and watched the result and speeches ...and drew a queue while I waited!
ReplyDeleteI thought both the speeches were really great.
The election is getting comprehensive coverage over here in the media and parliament.
YAY!!!!
ReplyDeletei often thought during this election season - who would want this job? thank goodness though that some one does! this will be good...
ReplyDeleteTakes a pretty strong person to want to take on the presidency of the US the next 4 years.
ReplyDeleteYes! Hopefully we can all come together and help President Obama lead this nation into a better tomorrow! I am inspired.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I secretly think anyone wanting to do this might be a bit crazy, but that's just me:)
ReplyDeleteSounds fun Katherine! I have heard bits and pieces of the speeches and they both sound awesome.
Yay Gary!
I know Natalya, see my crazy comment above:)
Lisa, see crazy comment above too:) And we should include Michelle too, she has a lot to get used to as well. They'll do fine though.
I hope so too, Takeyce and yes, inspiring is definitely the word of the day:)
I stayed up way late so I could hear the speeches and see some reactions. It's inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI've always thought anyone who took the job was a little crazy. It seems like it would be especially hard for the rest of the family. I admire anyone who lives under the microscope of the news.
I saw President Clinton on a talk show the other day and he made the comment that it's the best time to be president. According to him, it's a time with the greatest opportunity for change. You could see his eyes light up when he said that too.
