President Barack Obama

Way to go TIME, you called it.

What a day for America.

After what was probably the shortest election in the history of the world, America learned that our future was in fact in the hands of Barack Obama.

SIGH. OF. RELIEF.

I feel honored and proud to have participated in such an important election, and hope that future elections turn out as awesome as my first.

While I feel very proud to call myself an American, I now feel ashamed to call myself a Californian. It was a sad morning, learning that Prop 8, the ban on gay marriage in California, passed. I know I can't be greedy (my candidate did kick ass), but I would have loved to see some more tolerance and equality in our great nation.
Honestly California...we're supposed to be the liberal, progressive state.

Let's take steps forward, not backward.
