iconic.
People like Barack Obama are extremely rare. They are the kind of human beings that are brought to earth to teach humanity something about itself that it needs to learn…well at least that is how GT sees it.
I encourage you to enjoy this day and to relish and rejoice in its historical meaning. Cause fifty years from now you’ll be smiling at the history you witnessed with your very own eyes. Remembering when Barack came upon the scene armed with hope and change.

Got up at the crack of dawn and voted. Never in my life have I waited to vote. Never. Arrived at the polls at 7AM and there was a hundred people on line. I cried tears of joy and relief.
Obama 08!

I voted!!!
At 5:15am, I drove over to my voting precinct and waited with hundreds of other people to cast my for for President of the United States of America. I finally voted for Barack Obama at about 6:45am.
Things seem to be running smoothly here in Virginia. The poll workers seem to be on their best behavior. One lady took my cell phone, because I did not realize that I was not allowed to take pictures in the booth. I know, I am an idiot, but I just gave her my phone; I was not going to let anything interfere with my vote today! I am grateful that she returned my phone after my vote was complete.
Go Barack!! Yes we can.

I agree with your post GT and will go to the poll after work to put my hands where my mouth is. Further more, besides the sweat and tears that my fore parents paid; I paid $$ for my privilege to do so and I be an idiot to let it all be in vain.

Man GT! What a day this is. I don’t know whether to smile or cry, so I have done a bit of both. I just wish my Grandmother and Mother and my Grand Uncle could be here to see this.

I know Simone. I shed a tear and I’m so nervous that my hands are shaking while I’m typing this. I purposely am staying away from all political outlets until tonight.
Let’s just pray that this works out. It should.
