Just got back from watching 8 hours of CNN at the bar (which coincidentally was on the same soil that McCain was imprisoned in). I'm proud to say that I wasn't the only person with tears running down his cheeks during Obama's speech. What makes me really excited is that my friend Matt, a kiwi, was also choked up.
Way to go, America!

... as was your cousin. I'm glad that I could be there to share it with you instead of floating around Halong Bay.
The thick, tangible fog of pride permeated over the pub - kiwi, viet, other or expat.
And I can't remember the last time something just felt simply right...necessary...due.
Ben, America can begin healing after eight years of Bush and his posse. Unfortunately the great state of Kentucky will have to endure another term as senator under the "leadership" of one of the Bush family patsies, Mitch(Slimey) McConnell. May God have mercy on my state. Anyway, I enjoyed your trip to the stilt house. Post when you can. Peace,LH
Celebrating in Ankor Wat and was able to see a lot including McCain's concession speech. Off to party and let's hope for better times for the good ole USA!
Lilah woke up smiling this morning because of the news!!!
2000 - Bush elected. Ben lives in US.
2004 - Bush elected. Ben lives in US.
2008 - Obama elected. Ben not in US.
2012 - Ben should make travel plans.
are you suggesting ben helped deliver victories to bush in 2000 and 2004? I knew he was a double agent!!
LH,
I was rooting hard against MM in Kentucky. I think it's a good sign though that he was in quite a battle.
Although yesterday was such an amazing day, the truth is that there are some sad things that happened. Personally I'm upset that more people voted "Yes" on Prop 8 then "No." In my opinion, the single biggest Civil Liberties issue of today is equal rights for gays and lesbians. If the Constitution is to be taken seriously we need to treat everybody equally.
