Congratulations Barack Obama!

America has made history tonight by electing its first black president and I could not be more excited for what this might mean for the country's future. I am only disappointed that I live in a state that is so decidedly Republican, because I've been an Obama supporter ever since he first started his campaign. He's intelligent and charismatic, something the White House has been lacking in the last eight years. Hopefully he will be able to start digging America out of the hole it finds itself in after a shaky leadership.
