Whoo Hoo!!!! The World Celebrates

Change Happens when you need it the most. All across America last night, citizens watched history unfold as Barack Obama became the President Elect, on his path to becoming the 44th President of the United States of America. For some, today is a day of rejoicing, for others, an opportunity to look ahead with optimism even though their candidate wasn’t victorious.
I think the victory belongs to every American regardless of ideology simply due to the overwhelming involvement of the American people in directing the path of our government. I fear we had become a society that took it’s liberty for granted and just assumed others who were in positions of power and authority would do right by us and our country. It’s a shame we had to hit such a low to wake us all up to the fact that it’s our responsibility, my responsibility, to lead government and if we blindly follow those who are in a position to make or break our success as a nation, we deserve what we get. Unfortunately, the typical outcome is less than we expect and that has never been more obvious than today and this mess we find ourselves mired in.
So whether or not your candidate won the election, YOU won by taking charge of your destiny and being a part of the American process.
