President Obama
Pierre Tristam / Candide’s Notebooks, November 4, 2008
Believe the unbelievable. It’s 9:35 p.m., CNN has just projected Ohio going for Obama, Florida is soon to be next. No need to pretend further: Obama is the next president of the United States. At this rate he may yet win Indiana, Virginia and North Carolina, giving him more of a trouncing than the kind of victories that have characterized the elections since 1984. No need to write on, either, except for this: Congratulations America. You've restored my—our—faith. Let it rip in the comments.
