Barack Obama Is Our President

And I just want to list all the reasons why I am excited:

• Obama didn't just win, he ran away with it, with 364 Electoral votes and 53% of the popular vote. There's no doubt the country wanted Obama.
  
• Obama ran a near flawless campaign and throughout was presidential in his bearing--thoughtful, steady, in-control, with integrity; I am excited to think his Presidential administration could be run the same way.
  
• My country has elected its first African American President, which will be one of the country's defining historical moments, and I had the chance to help it happen.
  
• We will finally have an intelligent President.
  
• I have a President that for the first time inspires me.
  
• I love Michelle Obama and she is going to be our First Lady, and I think she's going to get stuff done as well. She will be a positive role model of a successful black woman helping to raise a strong family.
  
• We're going to see a Black family in the White House, and they are "just like us."
  
• Learning who President Obama will select for his administration. Seriously, this stuff is exciting to me.
  
• What dog will they pick to be First Pet? Ok, I'm just kidding on that one (but I hope it's a beagle!).
  
• Joe Biden, a man who actually knows that Spain is an ally and that Africa is a continent, will be our Vice President.
  
• Congress now has a stronger Democratic majority. Will this always be for the better? I don't know. But I feel safer knowing it's not the reverse.
  
• Should the opportunity arise, President Obama will select liberal justices for the Supreme Court, and Congress will confirm them with pleasure.
  
• The world will actually like us again, and President Obama will renew our respect and our reputation around the world.
  
• Obama is already a worldly man; he has connections to Kenya and Indonesia, and this mere fact seems to make their people warmer to our country.
  
• With Obama as President, African American parents can say to their little boys and girls while pointing to their President, "See, you can become anything you want." There's no excuse against greatness anymore, no reason not to dream, no dream that can't be made true.
  
• Many other things I am yet to think of or to see...
  

Barack Obama is our President, and I am excited to be an American.
