Or at least taken a step in the right direction. I'm just a bundle of overjoyed emotions right now. I sure hope he doesn't let us down. I delved into my presidential voting history and this is only the second winner I've voted for. I can't even remember if I even voted in the first two elections for which I was eligible to vote. I remember walking into the school gym next to my nursing school dorm/apt. I probably voted just because I could, to see what it was like. I may have voted for someone for a silly reason; maybe I had seen Bush the first when he was a v.p. candidate. There was a rally in our neighborhood, maybe because there were steel mills? It was such a small corner of Chicago. A dad said, "Kids, you may be looking at a future president". Then he said, "What about the band!?" A natural politician, he had us eating out of our hands. I may have wanted to be able to say that I saw a u.s. president. I really liked Bush the first. I was disappointed when he lost to Clinton. It took a tragedy like the Oklahoma bombing to get my to like Bill Clinton. I know one person who started liking Bush the second after 911. Not me. Not ever.
