Obama won big, in spite of everything the Republicans could throw at him, and right now the world is partying like it's 1999. It felt good to hear a president(-elect) who shows some humanity, who can form complete sentences, who offers unity not distrust. Today is a day for hope, even for a skeptic like me. I hope that I'm wrong about Obama, that he really will lead the world into a new era of peace and equality. His ambiguous public statements and Senate record don't matter any more: his legacy starts now.

International Hope Day
Obama won big, in spite of everything the Republicans could throw at him, and right now the world is partying like it's 1999. It felt good to hear a president(-elect) who shows some humanity, who can form complete sentences, who offers unity not distrust. Today is a day for hope, even for a skeptic like me. I hope that I'm wrong about Obama, that he really will lead the world into a new era of peace and equality.
