Last night I, like many, spent my evening glued to the television watching the results pour in. When the media finally declared Barack Obama as the next US President, I felt a sense of elation, and I was speechless. As trite as it sounds, I could not help thinking, this is history and I am a part of it. I was not sure that I would see this in my lifetime. For me, a Canadian, Barack Obama is a symbol of change and hope, even though he is not my leader. His speeches and actions were inclusionary, something I have hoped that our politicians would be. Perhaps for Canada's next election we will have our Obama.
President-Elect Obama has a tough job ahead of him. I believe that he will do a great job and I wish him and all of America the best.
