If you didn't vote for Obama, you might want to skip this entry.
We had the pleasure of celebrating Election Day by staying in downtown San Jose in the Fairmont Hotel. Claude is attending the AOPA (Airplane Owners and Pilot's Assoc.) conference one block away. Thanks to Gabby we got our "mail in ballots" in time to send our votes in and we enjoyed celebrating for our country as Obama became a new voice for our country.
I will speak for myself when I tell you I have felt a positive surge of renewed energy and possibilities for our country knowing we have someone in the position of speaking to the people of our country in a way that uplifts, rather than suppressess. I realize that change will not happen overnight, but I do believe that what the people want now is a voice that speaks of what we can do together to support each other as we move out of this hole we are now in, rather than reinforcing that we are in a hole. What our President Bush wants to share with the country today is to talk about "extremists ready to attack us and that they would enjoy nothing more than to destroy us". Why he thinks that's the message we want to hear today, or any day, is beyond me but I am thrilled we won't have to hear him much longer. I am thankfull for the shift in energy for all of us.
Here are a couple of pictures of the newspapers that were left outside our hotel room door.
