Politics, while very important to the success of this nation, have never been able to hold my attention for more than a few minutes. This election was different. There was a candidate who spoke the language of the American people; Someone who actually made me want to listen; Someone who I trust can make a tremendous difference in the United States and the world.
I was at Venu Resto-Lounge & Nightclub when that candidate won the presidential election. I was in a crowd of similarly ecstatic people who cheered, danced and drank, many with tears in their eyes, as the screen flashed Barack Obama, President-Elect. We all have our own reasons to be joyful, but the resounding sentiment echoing through the night remains in my ears: 'Proud to be an American.'
The easy part is over, Mr. Obama. You will forever be in the history books, hopefully as one of the best presidents this country has ever seen. You've got our attention, no pressure, but don't let us down.
