Reflection on the Election

I felt like this was an amazing election. Not only did the first African American win the presidency, but he won it by a landslide. It was clear to everyone who had won and who America really wanted as their president. It was also different for the republicans because it was the first time there was a woman in the vice presidential spot--even though most of us can't stand her; including myself. I believe that by electing Barack Obama, we have reestablished the hope that has been lost during these 8 years. I'm grateful to have been alive to witness his election and to follow his campaign. He has also beaten the odds and have shown everyone that if there's a will, there's a way.
I am almost certain that the Obama administration will aid the United States into recovery and that though it will be hard at first, it will be worth it. America definitely isn't going to be the same--but I'm sure it'll be ten times better.
