What I missed back home on Tuesday

Here is a video a friend of mine in Seattle sent me today. He was working at Walgreen's on Broadway & Pike when Obama won, and there was an explosion of happy people dancing, screaming and waving flags in the streets. According to some news pieces I've come across, on the night of the victory of Bill Clinton over G. H. W. Bush, Seattle was dead and everything appeared as orderly as it had been. This just goes to show that America has been awaiting something truly amazing to happen in its history, and everyone has come together to embrace hope and celebrate the historical catalyst of change occurring there right now. It's a shame to have missed it, but a girlfriend and I did go out on the town together for a couple hours when we found out he'd won.



Forever in love with Seattle,
Kelsey

Que buena Kelsey!... Este video tiene mucho significado. Este video, acompañado de la victoria de Obama, que el pueblo de Estados Unidos está actuando con pleno sentido. No se si me comprendes. La gente "dancing, screaming and waving flags in the streets" me demuestra la posicion que tiene el pueblo de Estados Unidos con respecto a su futuro.
