Presidential elections

We just watched the election results come in, pretty moving stuff I have to say. In a week where, everyone I speak to is experiencing redundancies and downsizing it's amazing that there is any hope left in this country. We all watched it intently - everyone was gathering to watch the results together and even the kids were totally into it. (They've been wearing 'Trekies for Obama' buttons for weeks). Twinkle's homework was to color the states on a US map to match the results, and tally up the electoral votes - very creative way to make a 10 year take notice of politics I think.

Needless to say, the results and speeches blew us away. I admit to a tear in my own eye (very unlike me). Lets hope things start to pick up again - it may be getting to be too late for some of us other immigrants - when the work dries up, so do the work permits.

At this point I'd like to repeat that I do think some of the credit should go to Kieffer Sutherland for having a black president in 24. (Totally made people think it was indeed possible).

And Michelle's dress was hideous. (I HAD to get that out, would have sounded soooo shallow if I'd said it loud tonight).

Just looking out for the Sarah P chat show now. (its inevitable).
