Happy Election Day, Mr. President

It looks like Barack Obama will become the 44th president of the United States.

Yes you can, and yes you better, Mr. President.

Now the obvious question is how long until election fatigue sets in, although I don’t think it will. This campaign has reinvigorated the country, and tomorrow not only will be a new day but a new world. I may not have been able to cast a ballot for Obama, but I cast a vote of confidence in him.

It’s a really exciting time to be a guest in this country.

Change is happening.

And btw, that was a pretty classy concession speech, John McCain.

Update 1: Like it or not, it is official, people: Barack Obama and Joe Biden are POTUS- and vice president-elect. The Democratic ticket made history on Nov. 4, capturing several dozen more electoral votes than the 270 needed to claim the win.

Update 2: Obama’s win had Oprah Winfrey “vibrating.”

Update 3: While getting “Sticky & Sweet” in San Diego, Madonna called the evening of Nov. 4, “a motherf---ing important evening.”
