Congratulations!
Nov. 5th, 2008 06:28 pmYay! Congratulations, Barack Obama! Congratulations, America! Congratulations, the rest of the World!
I arrived at work today and one of my American co-workers had brought cake in hopeful anticipation of such a result. It was very hard for us to drag ourselves away from CNN in the staffroom to go to our afternoon lessons. But at least we got to see New Mexico called and McCain's gracious concession speech - then in the 10 minute break we saw Florida called, but we missed Obama's speech live. Got home and it was the first thing I googled. It was good. Inspiring, but not too starry-eyed!
I am very pleased and hopeful.
