Today, our country decided on our next president. It’s my hope that the decision that this country has made will prove to be the right one. With all of the turmoil we are currently facing, both here and abroad, I believe that we are on the precipice of something great.

You can voice your concerns about higher taxes, nationalized health care, etc., but I’d be willing to sacrifice a few of those things for a stable economy, an end to the war(s), and a solid education for my children.

Congratulations, President-Elect Obama.
