Glückwünsche Obama!

I didn't watch the fancy speeches last night, I waited until projections came in on California and then I went to bed.

Obama, in an electoral votes landslide, (popular vote was really, really close) is now the President Elect of the United States of America.

The next four years will hopefully begin to change, for the better, not only how Americans live but how the rest of the world sees us.

I spend a lot of my online time talking to, and getting to know, people in Europe and Australia. I've made some awesome friends through the internets, and it's amazing to hear how they see the country I grew up in.

I hope that good changes will start to turn things around in our economy. I live in the worst economic state - Michigan.

So congratulations Mr. Obama. Don't f*ck it up.
