I was overcome yesterday afternoon when Obama won the Presidential race. I am not an American - I'm a proud Aussie - and I have never even been to the States, but I sat there watching his speech yesterday on the verge of tears. I've followed Obama's campaign for the last year and a bit, and have been hoping against hope that this brilliant man would get in. And he did.
I believe that Obama is a signal of progress, acceptance, and hope to both America and the wider world, and that his winning the election allows people to pause and take stock of what is happening, and where we need to go from here. Electing him throws off the chains of the Republican government that has been strangling America for so long (and the rest of the world that has suffered under the incompetence of the Bush administration), and gives me over here in Australia a hope that America isn't dead yet.
Congratulations Obama, well done America.
