Stevejobs. my friend you are dead on.
My joy for the win has 2 sides. I am happy with our selection and I'm very confident he will do a great job as president.
But the thing that has me really happy and fired up. Is for the first time in my life we have a president I respect and admire as a person. I don't know him personally but judging on the many decisions he has made through out his campaign he is a straight up person that understands the average american. Like stevejobs said, his ability to motivate and make us feel proud to be an American will be the change we are looking for. The fact that we now have an African-American president is a HUGH morality booster for this country. I dont know your nationality or what its like for you where you grew up, so maybe you cant relate on this topic... but for me; being a Mexican American, I have seen some pretty bad stuff. Most of my life I have felt like a complete outsider in a country where I was born and raised. I have always looked at presidents as people who lead our country but had no idea what a young minority went through growing up in America. Now we have a man who knows what its like, he understands what its really like out here.
So when I hear people talk about change, I'm really not thinking about Washington and how its run... I'm thinking about this country.... I'm thinking about the soul and the idea that is America.
For the first time in my life I have real genuine hope for America.I'm not sure if I was able to convey my feelings accurately....
It's more than presidential election, it goes way deeper than that.
- I agree, the new President comes across as genuine, but without being cringe worthy, even a sense and understanding of the everyday person.********
