After eight years of watching this country vote against progress and against its best interests, Americans stood up today and surprised me by doing the right thing for the first time in a long time.
Barack Obama is the next President of the United States of America and those Americans looking for the country to move forward and leave the divisive culture wars and poisonous politics of the past behind can breathe a sigh of relief. The fear of having another conservative administration that blurs the lines between religion and government is gone for the next four years and now we must come together to repair the damage that has been done to this country and its reputation over the last eight years.
Will Obama accomplish all he has said he wants to? Probably not. The world is ever-changing, and with that in mind, sometimes, plans need to take a backseat to doing what is necessary in the moment. But, will he be a good president? I believe so.
I'm proud of America today and for what we have accomplished with our vote. And for those who voted for Senator McCain, I hope that they look past the whole "us vs. them" dynamic that has gripped this country the last eight years and find it in themselves to support him as he leads our country, truly, into the 21st Century.
