"Change You Can Believe In"

Yesterday, history was made. An unprecedented grassroots organization was built in all fifty states that brought a record number of people into the political process. Barack Obama, after months of one of America's most inspiring elections, came out victorious, being named the 44th President of the United States and the nation's first black commander in chief. His triumph ushers in an era of profound political and social realignment in America.

Walking into the voting booth yesterday, I felt a sense of pride to be a part of this movement for change. My confidence in Obama has increased daily from the time I heard him speak at UNH to the moment I cast my ballot. I believe he will not only be a fine leader for our country, but will play a major role in further improving race relations.

"Because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment," Obama said, "change has come to America."





"Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential." - President Barack Obama
