Change We Can Believe In
A friend recently remarked to me, “I thought you’d be more excited.”
Don’t get me wrong. I supported Obama from the beginning, was a little put off by the VP choice, and wound up standing in line to vote for him. I’m stoked. Really stoked.
My excitement is measured by concern. It’s going to take a lot of work to accomplish the things he’s promised. I’ll meter out my excitement with each of those accomplishments.
I’m still concerned for education, the state of innovation, the future of the internet. I’ve been promised change, and I can’t wait to see it.
If this election has accomplished anything, it’s motivated me. In the coming weeks, I’ll be writing to my representatives to tell them how I think things should be.
Issue #1: The abolishment of the penny.

I’m in the same boat. as excited as I am, I’m also waiting to see how things actually start going. I certainly think it’s a step in the right direction. Lets see if he can get the ball rolling on health care. I’ll party then.
