Waking Up to the News

Now, I'm not an overly-political person. I know a lot of people enjoy talking "politics", I do not. So this post isn't meant to be my first attempt at a political post. Since Germany is six hours ahead of the East coast and nine hours ahead of the West coast, we went to bed hours before the election was called. I even thought that maybe when we got up this morning, we still wouldn't know the answer. But, I was wrong. Barack Obama is our new president-elect. I'm going to be honest, he's not who I voted for! I have this heavy rock feeling in my stomach this morning as I am trying to digest that the one that I didn't want voted into office did just that...uugh...

On a lighter note, over the last couple of months, the German radio station I listen to has reported a lot on the US Presidential campaign and they can't pronounce Barack's name the right way--they pronounce it like "Derek" only with a B. (Not like I don't completely slaughter nearly every German word I say!)

Until later,
