We can and we DID!

For most of my life, I've never been overly patriotic, but right now, I have to say, I'm awful proud to be an American!

And tomorrow we can have our proper inaugural party, ne? ^_-
It's so weird watching it in real time, with the bright sun, and having it be 2:00 am here...

So you did catch it live. I thought you would. I did tear up, and choked up, too. Not only had I come to think a day like this would never come in my lifetime, but his message is so much the message I have wanted to hear from our leaders for all my adult life. Today we can HOPE again!

And I'm proud to be your neighbors! Congrats America!

Me Too!

I can finally call the person who resides in the White House "My President." I couldn't say that with dubya, since he was never fairly elected. I've been weeping and howling all day - with happiness! I just love the celebrations in Kenya, Japan, Indonesia, and everywhere else! Thanks for sticking with US - we're finally free!

Even though on work, I was watching it live, too. I also had tear in my eyes. Finally some political leader, and in one of the worlds most important posts, too, that gives us hope.

And proud you should be! This is wonderful!

Yeah, I teared up some as well. We watched it live, streaming online. And truly, his speech was wonderful. God, I really hope he can do even half of what he's speaking of, because, just, wow! ^_^

I *know*! It's so wonderful to be like "look, look that's *my* president!". It's so amazing here in Japan how much attention and focus and excitement there's been surrounding it. Way more than they seem to ever give to their own politicians! ^_-

Hee, thanks! It is very wonderful indeed! And so amazing to see so much of the world all celebrating it together! ^_^ *huggles*
