Right after I got off work today I made my way to Rockefeller Center aka Election Plaza, to watch the first few states being called. There was so much good energy there. As soon as they started to call states for Obama, people just screamed and were just so happy that Obama was getting closer and closer to being elected president. I saw the faces of some black people around me and they were just so excited. I remember one black girl saying: “This is the most exciting moment of my life”. I got goosebumps when I heard that. Obama kind of represents equality for all. This is an exciting time in the U.S.!
When Obama was the projected winner, I could hear people out my window going crazy, yelling and screaming. I heard helicopters, fireworks, all that. Everyone is just very emotional about this election. I still hear people screaming outside, I also hear cars honking like crazy. People are going so crazy right now that I’ve heard several sirens now, I hope it’s cop sirens rather than ambulance sirens!
I feel good now. This is an exciting time for the country. I do feel change is in the way. Bush should evacuate the White House RIGHT NOW. The whole country can’t wait till he gets the fuck out.
As I was watching Obama’s speech, I got teary eyed. I don’t know why, but I did. Emotional times ya’ll!
I guess I am the only person in the world who didn’t get all worked up over his speech. I will have to see anything before I believe it. Call me bitter, but that is how I view things after the last 8 years.
