Let's See How Far We've Come

I seriously almost cried when I listen to Obama's speech after winning the Iowa Caucus last night. So many students, people my age, came and voted for him. That's amazing. It just goes to prove that my hopes for this generation are not unfounded. We will be the get up and do something generation, no the "me" or "slacker", but the kids who want to make a change and then make it happen.

I would be happy to have Mr. Obama as my president, and lets hope I still like him when he is. Presidents do have a way of becoming complete dickheads while they're in office, but then when they're out, they do the most amazing things, a la Bill Clinton.

So much has been written about it already, I don't think I could ever add to all the great things that have been said. Instead, here is a compilation of what I have read and admired:

The Amazing Speech

Obama Wins Iowa's Democratic Caucus

Obama's Youth Vote Triumph

The Conventional Wisdom Defied

A Matchbox 20 song and video that totally sum up my feelings about the coming elections. Except without the pessimism.
