President Obama on Election Day (Phoenix)

One of my many adventures was when I lived in Phoenix. On election night in downtown Phoenix (McCain territory, as he was only a couple miles from downtown) I experienced something wonderful. I was about 1/2 mile outside of the city and I could hear cheering and shouting. The whole downtown was just buzzing, Barack Obama was officially elected. I parked in some random garage in some alley and made my way downtown to one of the hotels. I got to watch his speech with hundreds of others on a TV in one of the hotel lobbies. I was surrounded by African Americans, Mexicans, Asians, Old people, Teenagers, just every type of person. We all had tears in our eyes of happiness. It was such a moment of togetherness and hope for change, I will never forget that feeling. So many people were touched that America was given a second chance, just unbelievable. When people question Barack Obama and his leadership I must assume that they do not realize the impact he has made already. I will probably add to this but felt it necessary after last nights speech. It just brought back the feelings of hope and change, and togetherness...
