After a long time, Proud - Brian

7 November, 2008 (11:29) | Uncategorized

We’ve had the pleasure to be in the United States this week and be with friends to watch the election results. After a very long time I am ecstatic and proud to call myself an American again. I won’t bother rehashing all the reasons a US led by George Bush and his team of incompetents made me so disappointed in my country; to see the energy of everyone I ran into leading up to and through the election made it clear that things had really changed for the better.

I have never seen such a high level of interest in an election, the spirit in San Francisco and Seattle was incredible. People were debating the issues, the interest in voting was incredible and the response to the election of Obama unbelievable. Following Obamas speech there were huge parties in the streets of Seattle and throughout the world, its both awesome and humbling at the same time. I can’t wait to be a part of and watch the next steps unfold.

More to come when we get a break from our incredibly packed travel schedule.
