Hurrah for the World!

Hurrah for the United States of America! Hurrah for the people of the United States of America! I have lived through, as have all of you, a defining moment in the history of the world. We who have voted have elected Barack Obama as the 44th president of the United States of America. I was unable to express my joy as I was in the midst of Athens County Republicans. As a journalist/photojournalist, I am unable to show bias. I had to hold it all in. It was so hard that I actually starting feeling like it wasn't really happening. As I listened to the Republicans around me, I realized it was real and just laughed at their stupid comments about socialism, Bill Heirs, terrorism, etc. (inside of course). I wanted very hard to laugh at the Republicans as they said things like where has our country gone. I only worry that intolerance is still strong and that many believe "the blacks will take over." The ignorance people have about Obama's ethnicity and what socialism really is just angers me. If they do not want to support their president, then they can leave this country. I am just happy it is over and the Messiah has won.
