Barack Obama just won the presidency of the United States. Stunning! What an amazing day in the history of this country...it says a lot of how far this young country has come in just my lifetime. I'm very proud of my adopted home, we are an amazing nation. Perhaps this election will take us farther than we can even imagine today, inside and outside of our borders.
It's been exciting to watch Lisette's involvement and attention to the political machine especially over the last 10 months or so. Next time around, she'll be one of our young voters and she'll take the responsibility with intelligence and compassion.
John called a few minutes ago. He had spent the evening at the Ambassador's residence which the Embassy had turned into an Election Central, full of TVs and political analysts...a wonderful show of our democratic process. He was excited with how well it was put together for the international community that showed up.
So now our "new age" will begin. Keeping the faith. God Bless the USA.

I am so happy and proud today of the USA.
This is an amazing country and it impresses me so much to see how far it has come in breaking the bondage of prejudice. This election was a history making one and you got to place your very first vote as an American citizen in it!!
