The American Dream
The election is done and dusted. Now, unlike the UK, Obama is not in office straight away. He doesn’t take office until 20th January 2009. One of those little quirks of the system.
The effect that this election win has had on the country is interesting. The campaign of McCain was a divisive one, with his running mate even going so far as to differentiate between those states she concluded were “real America” and those that weren’t. Today a lot of younger people, poor people, people from minorities are feeling positive and energized, they have seen that the American Dream is alive and well. Others, the McCain supporters, are fearing the worse and think the country will fall apart.
The one down side for me is that I am now going to have to find something else to blog about. Bah!
