It took me awhile to warm up to Obama...but I did.
I cried tonight when Obama won, and they were tears of joy! I believe he will be one of the best presidents our nation has known and is one of only two presidents that I think of as MY presidents. Bill Clinton held that honor for 8 years and still has a warm place in my heart. If President Obama is as good I will be satisfied. If he is better then we are all dumb lucky to live in a time that produced both of these men. I feel a sense of relief that the reign of terror known as the Bush administration is almost over. Now for the steep climb ahead! At least we will now have some responsible leadership. I apologize for the shortness of this diary, I just wanted to get my thoughts down on this wonderful night. Cheers!
I would like to add that I did not warm up to Jimmy Carter until years after his presidency when I saw what a great statesman he became. He holds a place in my heart as well, but more for the things he has accomplished since he left office.
