Here too, plus a free dip of Ben and Jerry's and a free Chick-fil-a sandwich! Of course who wants to drive around town collecting all that!

Obama is the new president. Wow, I never felt more involved in history than I do right now.

Man, what a night last night was!

I just wanted to mention that while the whole world watched us, The people of the United States of America came together once again, as they do every four years, and cast their votes for their choice of candidates, to elect a new president.

While the whole world watched, we waited in line, talking to neighbors and friends and strangers, cast our vote and went home. When we woke up today, we had a new president-elect.

There were no riots, no military presence in the streets holding guns, no thugs beating people. We got up and went to work and to school and got on with our lives, knowing that if this winner was not our choice, there will be another election in 4 years and perhaps then things will go our way.

The major losing candidate gave a concession speech that was graceful, encouraging and upbeat, promising to support his president in any way he could.

People watched all over the world, and when the results were announced, they were in many ways gladdened that despite what is happening in our world today, America still shines as a beacon, that you CAN elect a government without a coup, an overthrowing of the government, threats, killings and violence.

Thanks for doing your part, participating in elections, and making me proud to be one of the lucky people who live in this country!!!!
