YES WE CAN!

Come January, Barack Obama will be our new president! I am thrilled beyond words. Jeff and I were sitting on the couch watching his victory speech and we knew we were witnessing history. It's amazing to think that our grandchildren are going to be reading of this day in their history books.

For the first time since I was an eligible voter I feel like my voice has been heard. I know that I'm only one vote, but I know now that my vote counts. I'm not so naive as to think that Barack will fix all of our nations problems. He's stepping into quite a large pile of mistakes and it will take some time to even begin to scrape the surface.

I also don't think that Bush single handedly flushed our nation down the toilet either. But, he did have eight years to make or break this country and just look what he and his party has done to us.

For the first time in a long time I have hope for our country and the people in it.

BARACK the VOTE!
