Obama

It's been a good day - Obama took the white house, and I was actually tossing and turning all night waiting for my alarm to go off so I could see whether the countless polls had indeed correctly predicted the win. Great that he won - on so many levels. That being said, the pragmatist in me wants to know what he will now do. He's promised heaps, and delivering on everything seems unlikely. Then again, if they can pull a trillion dollar bailout out of seemingly thin air, who knows. I got swept up in Obama fever, but my temperature is returning to normal, and I really am curious to see whether Obama is more than just a phenomenaly good orator.

I'm glad he is young and inexperienced.... what does one do when one is inexperienced? Ask for help! And he's gonna need all the help he can get to navigate the dire straits that America seems to be in.
