Change has come to AMERICA! On Nov. 4th 2008 I was one of the many millions of people that worked at the polls. I was station in the inner neighborhoods of the Castro. People there were very friendly and they were all eager to vote, hoping for the best. It was a long a grueling 15 hours. But I felt that I had done the best of ability to serve this elections.

Somehow I sort of knew that Barrack Obama was going to win this election but, I was so shocked that he had such outstanding results. I would think that there might be a tie between him and McCain. He had more than 3x the votes of his running mate. I felt that we are finally accepting change. Yes, Obama might be the first African American to become president. Besides that, he had expressed his capability of governing this country. He has inspired many people that gave up hope of the government to go and vote and create change. I learned that democracy is all about the people and what they want and stand for. It is also giving an opportunity to people like Barrack Obama a chance to create greatness. We have finally shattered the racial ceiling that divided us from leaders that can change our country beneficially. It is clear that we are accepting Barrack as our president. I know for sure that Barrack Obama would not let his people down and will not fail to lead us to a glorious eight years.
