Obama is the next president of the United States

This is awesome.

The vindictive, hateful, greedy and simpleminded rule of the last eight years has made a mockery of the great ideals upon which America was founded. Now I have hope -- hope that we'll see the USA coming back onto the world stage as a nation that's more interested in making and working with friends than in making and killing enemies. A nation that cares about people and not just profits. A nation that sticks to its principles instead of trying to find ways to work around them.

I've always respected the flag of the United States of America, but tonight I'd be proud to hoist her along with my own.
