History

After the Obama election victory, it is required that I write about it.

I supported him so I was happy to see him win. It was also amazing to see the emotional connection so many people had made to him. But most of all it was moving to see the reaction of a wide variety of Civil Rights activists that paved the way for this to happen. Many of whom thought they would never live to see this day.

Now that Obama is preparing for the Oval Office and all the responsibilities that come with it, it is my hope that he will have a bi-partisan cabinet and that he will make intelligent decisions with much consultation from his Cabinet and Vice-President.

I saw CNN's coverage this evening while I was at the gym. The international reaction says a lot. To see people cheering in Singapore and Australia, Kenya and France, the United Kingdom and the United States it shows the significance our decisions are to the world. Obama has the potential to be a truly unifying figure on the global stage. And finally, the words of Nelson Mandela's letter to Obama were truly moving. You should look them up.

Here is to hoping for recovery and growth in the next 4 years.
