“I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
“And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt, I love this land, God bless the U.S.A.”

I am ashamed to admit I voted for the first time in my life this election– but I am glad I did!
Now let’s hope that he can keep up the momentum with the idealism, and extricate us from the militarism (I am a bit worried about his plans to up the war in Afghanistan).
Anyhow it is a proud moment for our country.
Ooh Lee Greenwood would be mad at you for using his song (he was a McCain supporter)
Love it!

It was amazing to see the crowd shots last night and to see just how moved people were.
Obama brings hope but I do agree in that I hope he doesn’t lose some of his ideology once he has been sworn in as president.
