While I know that several people reading this blog will not like what I am about to say I still must say it. Go Obama! I am quite happy that he won and loved his speech. Obama's speech made me proud to be an American. Living abroad is made harder when the people in your host country doesn't like your president. Everyone has an opinion (Shannon and Susie: Do you remember the taxi drivers in Limerick?). You don't know how many times people come up to me here and want to talk politics with me.
I was so touched by his speech that I found it on YouTube and if anyone wants to watch it again, go ahead.

I am so excited too! I've watched the speech a few times. I remember taxi drivers in Limerick randomly talking about their lives and Irish weather. I remember talking politics with a friendly old Irish gent on the way to Knock. We had a good conversation.
by the way this is Susie (haha). I forget that I use a penname for my almost non-existent blog. Susie or Susan means Lily.
