Bittersweet
I'm just furious that Obama won. I just realized how the moral power shifted in this household. How can I now make fun of the resident American here? He already started telling brits: "Oh, don't worry, I'm sure any black man can become king here...oh wait, no they can't!". Now we need to start working on electing a lesbian gypsy woman for that planned role of President of the European Union if we want to get back our sense of moral superiority. Sigh.
Just kidding. Couldn't be happier. As a little girl, those very scarce female role models in politics were the only reassuring fact that I wasn't completely screwed; so, I'm hoping non-white boys (and girls) all over are dreaming of becoming presidents of something someday...
