Its Thursday and I'm still basking in the after-glow of Tuesdays election results. This election signals a clear break from the past, an opportunity for us to be able to once again participate as proud Americans in a globalized world, and the possibility of some real policy shifts in Washington. Most importantly for me, I now have a leader I can look at and feel represents my personal experience as an American.
Yet, I still have some concerns. the expectations that are heaping on this brothers shoulders, as if in four or eight years we can radically change this countries trajectory, is alarming to say the least. We all got to do our part to lighten his load, and make the changes we want to see.

I completely agree. I think this is probably the first time since I was naturalized that I can say that I'm proud to be an American, the first time I can look at someone from another country with pride and not shame for who we are as a people.
Having said that, I know that his success depends to a large degree on the personal change and sacrifice people who voted for him make in their lives.
