I've been checking the status of the election like most Americans abroad probably have been...
Now that Obama is declared the winner, anyone have some words to share about this historic event?
While we all know that you cannot just take the entire country and make a u-turn, it certainly is possible to make a new road map of where America can head. I for one am very sick of hearing so many negative comments about America while living abroad and I hope that those thoughts will change with a new leadership that is now incoming.
A good majority of Japanese people I have spoken to, wanted Obama to win and some even saying that they wish they could vote in the American elections... Not sure how other people from different nationalities feet, but we as Americans are tired of the negative images that have represented us for the last number of years. [I realize I don't speak for everyone, I'm sure there are many who wouldn't argue with that statement though!]
Time will only tell what this new administration will bring. I only wish that they would stop focusing on "Changing the world" when we can't even keep our own house in order.
Thoughts anyone?
