Senator Barack Obama has just been elected the 44th president of the United States of America.  This is definitely history in the making.  Wow… what an evening watching the polls, knowing where I was when the first African-American maintained a victory and is now at the helm of the White House. Truly amazing. It’s also great to see so many young people and first-time voters taking an interest in politics and realizing that their vote really counts.

There’s a passion, a transformational leadership and inspiration that Obama brings to the plate.  I’m positive that in his new role as president, his positive attributes will work to the benefit of the United States and help bridge the divide that is still apparent in the country.

Congratulations President Obama.
