OBAMA WON!!!!
see the way things went down here
and the Bruce Springsteen song has never been truer... I am very proud of the country I come from today - we managed to elect the first African-American President in US history and just having him in office will change the face of relations and influence for the US the world over. in a good way. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. President-elect! Thoughts and prayers are with you now more than ever - you are going to need it ;)

EDIT: to all of my chicagoans - i hope you had the time of your life last night! could there have been a more exciting time to be in chicago other than this? well, maybe the world fair of 1893, cubs winning the world series in 1908, the fire (not good) or perhaps that time radiohead played for free in grant park in 2003... either way, i am really really jealous and hope you enjoyed the sweetness of the victory to it's fullest ;)
