Last night Betsy and I went to a friend's house to watch the election results. As they did, we all became increasingly jubilant. The climax was when Obama gave his acceptance speech--several of us cried. For us Americans living abroad, we know how much the esteem of the United States has fallen around the world in the Bush years. There was a deep hunger all around the world for an Obama to ascend to the Presidency, and now all our hope and optimism has been vindicated. Whew! and Hurray!
