Today was an exciting day.  Not only because it’s my birthday, but also because of the recent presidential election and Barak Obama winning.  I voted for Obama, but even if McCain had won, I still would have been ok with it, because it’s still a new outlook on our country and glimpse of hope for us and for people around the world that we affect.  I think today says something about our country.  It displays the leaps and bounds our country has made within the last several decades in the fight for equality.  Not just for African-Americans, but for women, for the working class, and for anyone else who has been oppressed in our country.  This election was monumental, not only because we elected a black president, but because women were running for president and taken (relatively) seriously.  It was big step for us as a country.  It’s not every day that I am proud to be an American, because of what we’ve done.  But today, I can say…I am proud to be an American and I’m hoping and praying that Obama will bring us all the change for the better he promised us he would bring.
