And, oh yeah, it looks like we are about to have the most incredible president of our lifetime. Someone with potential to unite and inspire a nation that has been divided and apathetic for my entire adult life. If you missed future President Obama's (God that sounds good... President Obama) victory speech, please watch it below. I'd also like to add, I thought McCain's speech conceding the presidency was a nice touch of class after a horribly nasty campaign. It seemed both genuine and heartfelt (at least to these skeptic's eyes). Let's hope we can follow both of their suggestions of reaching across party lines and joining together united to try and get the American Dream back on track. Welcome to an amazing moment in world history everybody. I feel truly proud to be an American for the first time in a long long while. :-DGC
