A drink in Honour of History.
Right now, I'm having a drink in honour of our new President Barack Obama.
It's a real privilege to be witness to a major moment like this. From this moment on, our world here is a different place, and I think a better place. Not better because our problems will be fixed over night. No, we know that won't happen. But better because we've finally busted through another major ceiling in our political history. That I can drink to.
And I am having another in mourning. Because there's a chance that Prop. 8 will pass. Pleasepleaseplease don't let that happen.
ETA: Californians who voted for this, I'm very disappointed in you. This one was a close once, but much to my dismay Propsition 8 has passed. I hope you're happy, you jerks.

However, to be honest, he'll probably be much the same as most politicians: self-serving, a figurehead for larger forces at work in the background and generally not holding up to his promises.
