Yesterday, was a very historical moment when Barack Obama was named as president. Watching the votes being counted on tv was pretty exciting even though I expected Obama to win, because right now we're living in history in the making. I don't think that he'll be able to solve all the things he promised in the first year and he admits to that and its reasonable because this is a big problem, not just one that can be solved so simply. He knows and acknowledges that but I wonder if the rest of the americans will. Learning about the amount of people who didn't vote for him was pretty close in some cases and its a bit surprising. Not to knock anyone but he seems to be the more stable and secure canadate when compared to McCain. McCain's choice of selecting Palin being one example of this, seemed very random and not thought out at all. But I digress.
I stayed up and caught a bit of McCain's speech and felt that he seemed accepting of his defeat and that the "boos" of the McCain supporters were very immature and stupid. He seemed very human for the first time throughout the entire campaign. I guess people say that history should remember him for this speech rather than the attack ads and maybe that's true. It doesn't completely revert the image that I have of him, based on the campaign he has run, but it helps.
