Obama = our next president.

I didn't find out who officially one the election until this morning on the news, but I was following the poles last night and even then it seemed like a pretty clear-cut election. I don't have any problems with Obama being elected. I respect him, and think he can be a great president. Now that the elections are finally over, and the hype is beginning to wind down, all I can really do is hope that our country stays safe. I also want to mention the speech that McCain after Obama was declared the victor... I was genuinely impressed with McCain's words. He was very mature about how he treated Obama (and maturity is very hard to come by in politics) and was also optimistic about America and the American people. I thought it was interesting how McCain was able to be such a good sport about Obama's victory. I mean, if you really think about it, these guys have been attacking each other left and right... but now that its all over McCain can completely pull a 180 and wish Obama the best of luck. I both respect and admire that.
