Our Historic Presidential Election: from Whidbey Island Yayyyyyyyyyy Yayyyyyy!!!

FOR THE CHILDREN OF TODAY . . .

Who's ahead? Who's winning?

BARACK OBAMA!!

I am not usually political here, but, here goes . . .
Whidbey Island residents are rather progressive and out spoken when it comes to politics. So it was fun to attend the Democratic Election Night gathering at the Bayview Corner. And I am still about bursting with joy and excitement at Barack Obama's win this November 4th! It is so symbolic of where our country wants to go and how we see ourselves that we have elected Obama. Most of all I am pleased that other countries will see our electing Barack Obama as a diplomatic and thoughtful choice, hey everyone: "We want to communicate clearly and consciously with other nations to make the world a positive, beautiful, and safe place!" Well, there is a lot of optimism in the air, at least around me, and I hope we can all look past some of our country's current difficulties to see what we want financially, spiritually, collectively, and individually in order to focus our powers of creating on the things we DO want!
