Letting go of the teams and uniting as "ONE" people

Last night was such an important and historic time for our country. I carefully watched the election results roll into CNN while checking my home state of Indiana every two minutes to see which way we would swing. After 10pm I went over to Jason's apartment to finish watching the rest of the election with him and our bulldogs. As Obama won Pennsylvania the blue states quickly added up and he was declared our 44th president of the United States. As I wore my Obama shirt with my eyes glued to the television I felt such hope and excitement for our country and the direction we can take it. I thought John McCain's speech after he had lost was very tasteful and respectful. It was very big of him and I believe all the nation respects him and the life he's led for our country in war and politics. At midnight, Jason and I along with the rest of the country watched as Barack Obama took the stage with his family. I thought his speech was perfect and was exactly what we all needed to hear. He was correct when he told the McCain voters that he wants to be their president too. It's going to take the McCain voters and the Obama supporters to put down their team flags and unite to make real change in this country with the guidance of Obama as our president. I respect everyone who voted even those people that voted for McCain. I personally, believe that people need to stop putting up negative messages on their facebook and myspace pages about Obama being elected. While those who are bragging need to stop and embrace the McCain voters. Barack Obama needs all of us (the citizens of this country) to embark on the journey of change together. He can't do it alone or solely with just the people that voted for him, he needs everyone. Young, old, black, white, asian, christian, muslim, jewish, EVERYONE to be supportive, optimistic, and help move our country in the right direction. I am so EXCITED for our nation and so PROUD to be an American!

Thanks for listening to my thoughts, I just feel so inspired! 

Have a great rest of the week.
