Obama won the election. I'm pretty durn happy about it. I know there are a few folks on my friends list who voted Republican and will be aggravated/disapointed/shocked/any range of emotion, but I really do think Rudy Giuliani put it best last night (and I know I've already shared this with a couple of people, but that's because I really think it's an important sentiment to remember): No matter who won the election, after all is said and done, we all still wake up Americans.

I think that's pretty important to remember today. We're not enemies. We are citizens of the same nation, and the American people voted for the man who they thought would be best for the job. Would I be saying that if McCain won the election? Yes. I would've been the one on the disappointed side, and probably threatening to move to Canada, but like it or not he's the leader of our country.

Besides, he's only there for 8 years at most! Better luck next time. :)

It's true! And as for me, I'm going to turn my energies to hoping and praying that Obama is a good president.

Leujin, as one of my few American LJ buddies, I'd just like to say how delighted I am, and congradulations!
