I was at the pizza place working when President-elect Obama was announced on CNN as the next leader of our country and of the free world. The results were so lopsided that the message was loud and clear. Americans want a new direction for our country.
My political convictions make me a staunch Republican. But as an immigrant, I cannot be any more proud of this great nation. The land that produced Abraham Lincoln bore for its history the highest ideal by elevating to its highest office a person of color.
Congratulations President-elect Barack Obama.
