Well, we did it. Barack Obama has become the 44th President of The United States of America...and I could not be happier about it. Watching the national news this evening I felt a steady confidence that this country would make the right choice for President.

I'll admit, I was a little worried going to the polling place this morning. Watching the news the night before and earlier this morning, I kept hearing reports of extremely long waits. Some places reported wait times as long as 5-6 hours, and I was not looking forward to that. Luckily for me though, my polling place only had about an hour wait. So I was able to get in and out of there fairly quickly and hardly missed any work.
