President Barack Obama

It's been a long while since I've blogged, but the occasion calls for it. If you haven't heard Obama's victory speech, make sure you do. I've never heard someone sum it up so well - not just of his promises as President, but of the ideals of his country, what it means to the rest of the world and honestly, why I feel a strange sense of sometimes unexplainable belonging to a country that I wasn't born into.

"Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope." -- President Barack Obama, 4 November 2008
