History in the making....

Some people live to see world wars, some watched man walk on the moon; I got to watch America elect its first African-American president. What a difference 40 years can make!
When Barack Obama was born, the thought of a black president would have been unbelievable; now it’s real!

I understand the American voting system but it is pretty ridiculous. When I looked at the electoral votes it seemed Obama won by a mile. He had 365 while McCain only had 173. However when you look at the actually number of people who voted for each candidate; it was a lot closer. America is too big for its own good :)

The election has caused a stir in Japan. The town of Obama has been holding election parties and teachers all over the country are teaching their children to say “Yes we can!”

Can he make a difference? It would take a lot to be worse than Bush! Good Luck Obama!
