So - I have just witnessed, and lived through, probably one of the most profound events of the decade. Today we, the United States of America, have looked past the race of a gentleman and elected our 44th president without prejudice. If the polls and commentary I'm seeing are corret the win, from an electoral college perspective, is rather a landslide. The popluar vote is within a few percentage points - but that isn't the bit that really elects our president.

It is a good day, and I'm proud to have voted and helped this process. I'm proud of my countrymen, and I'm proud of my country. That said our 44th president, Barak Obama, is already faced with several calamaties: the economy, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, wiretapping mess. I wish him luck - he's going to need it to lead us out of this mess.
