Feels like forever that we’ve been getting to know Obama, on flickr, twitter, facebook, youtube, blogs, tv, and the iPhone etc etc. Isn’t he running America already?

Last September I was in Washington Square, NYC and was lucky enough to catch Obama speaking. It was an empowering address that had the crowd ‘fired up and ready to go’ by the end. I walked away saying wouldn’t it be great if America was wise enough to let a man like this take the helm, but doubted they would.

Well here we are, over a year later and a matter of hours from knowing the outcome. I’m looking forward to eating my words and embracing a new US president (truthfully voted in by US citizens) that will make the change that’s needed – happen.

I cast my vote a year ago and it stands to this day. Let’s hope we’re raising a glass to Obama (in Australia) tonight.
