It’s a very rare occasion where I can get excited about anything to do with politics, or it has been for the last several years. But I am so glad to see that everyone came together and selected the right man for the job.

It’s also amazing the amount of young voters and new voters that came out to vote, seemingly sensing the importance of this election, and supporting the candidate that can lead us through the hard times that we all face now. The economy is down the toilet, jobs are being lost faster than their being created, everything is way more expensive then it used to be. We demanded change and we got it.

The funny thing is that I don’t think he’s the most qualified individual for the job, I’d have to give that to McCain. But Obama has the common sense quality that doesn’t come up often in politicians. He also has the ability to bring people together, and honestly will bring dignity back to the White House. From the first speech that I saw he seemed to identify with 90 percent of the issues that plague me today, and honestly who is more important than me? All the other issues are blips on my radar compared to the fact that I can barely afford health insurance, the economy nearly put my employment in jeopardy, and living paycheck to paycheck to put food on the table sucks.

So to President Elect Obama, I wish you luck and prosperity on the hard road that you have ahead. Don’t let us down.
