My Reflection of the Presidential Election 2008
As I watch history being made today while writing is blog, it is exciting for me to watch the whole process of the election. Although I did not vote because I'm German citizen, it is just a phenomenal time for me and for us residents of the United States to be part of this history.
The voter turnout was unprecedented in all parts of this great country. I was so happy to see that my husband finally voted for the first time. My daughter, a first time voter, sent in her absentee ballot via federal express so her vote will be counted.
This defining moment will also be very challenging for our president-elect Barack Obama. As I watch John McCain's concession speech; he so eloquently said with cheers that we as a country should come together in unison and get this country back on track - "Americans never Quit".
The times ahead will be challenging indeed with two wars and the financial crisis. As I watch Barack Obama igniting the watchful audience with his victory speech he states that we must work hard - "step by step, block by block with calaces on our hands. "Yes We Can". I'm sure that neither Senator Barack Obama nor Senator John McCain thought of when they first announced their running for presidency.
