welcome the United States of America

So I can't help but do a pseudo political post. When I saw, read, digested that Barak Obama was the President-elect, I was really relieved. Not because I'm a Democrat, but it finally proved that the leader of the free world had progressed to stand among its peers to choose intellect, courage, and youth. That finally American progress was evident in the highest post of leadership and that the frightening unspoken undercurrents of bigotry in American society were not the force they once were. That the jaded cynic in me and others were proved utterly and completely wrong, very gladly.
