It's 9:22 pm on Tuesday night. We just watched Obama's speech. I am floored for a several reasons. One, I remember telling people back in the primaries that yes, he was electable, and I love finding out that I was right :-) Two, I can't believe that we have the first non white president in the United States. Certainly, this is a historic night, and maybe being hapa, that means something more to me than to you. And three, well, for the first time in, oh, 8 years, I feel hopeful. I know that how somebody campaigns isn't necessarily how they will govern, but I am hopeful that President Obama can inspire us all to work for a better United States.
I won't babble on, but truly, right now, I have tears in my eyes, and I am thrilled.
Now, we have to wait for local results, and see how 8 does. I'm hoping for good news all around tonight.....

Thank you! I have been cynical and now I am hopeful, guarded to be sure, but hopeful!!! Lots of work ahead to regain our status as world's leading democracy. Yes, we can!!
