Election day in the United States. Millions of citizens turned out to vote for the next president. Some even waited as much as four hours for their chance to vote. Tony and I were at the polls bright and early this morning at 6:15 AM. We did our duty and cast our votes for the change to take place in this country. The economy has been sliding downhill and the Bush administration, well, let's just say no one is happy with them. I never thought I would live to see this day but it has happened. Senator Barack Obama has been elected the 44th president of the United States. It's been a very tight and very grueling race and it's finally come to an end. I am so glad that we have had the chance to witness this historical event. The tension between Republicans and Democrats are pretty apparent. Matthew's classmates were clearly divided. My nephew Nicholas almost incited a riot in the first grade class in Florida as well. He was telling all the kids that Sarah Palin was not the right choice because "she shoots and kills animals." Well, that's a fact that can't be denied. My sister Sandi received a phone call from a parent informing her that Nicholas is sharing this information with his classmates and almost caused a riot on the school bus. OK, maybe not quite a riot but let's just say my little nephew has gotten the attention of the first grade class. He's got a bit of me in him. Yeah, that's right. You're doing me proud kid! My sister Sandi should leave him with me for a few weeks. Good Ol' Auntie Sue will teach him right! If I do this right, he'll never get a visa into any foreign country!
