I love the United States because we made mistakes (Bush) and 'we the people' eventually figured it out and used our system of elections to start making things right.
It was a beautiful thing to watch us turn back the conservative idealogues who tarnished our nation's reputation and economic position in the world. Also, the person we picked is a stark contrast to his predecessor... a thinking man, an educated man, and <gasp> a black man!
Finally, we saw through the same old tricks of fear, intimidation, and just plain old white noise from the media to put our nation back on course.
