This is a very happy morning

I just woke up and checked the newspapers, but since they were printed a couple of hours ago there were no news. So I had to rely on LJ to give me them - and I got tears in my eyes. To most swedes I think, american politics is weird, the political differences are small compared to those between our parties and the candidates often seem to favour the same politics and have the same rethorics. Thanks to the tremendous press-coverage of this election I've got a clearer understanding of the differences and while they still are right-wing politicians in a european sense I can now see other important differences. And I am so happy, for you and for the world, since your country is the biggest boy with the biggest guns what you do affect the rest of us a lot. jillwheezul's post reminded me why this is important in more ways than that it gives us all a safer world to live in.

You have no idea how happy I am. For the first time in a very long time, I have hope again and believe in my leader. I also have never before heard a President speak so much, if at all, about women in an acceptance speech. I've been crying tears of joy this evening. I truly hope and believe we can become a respected agent of all that is good in this world again.

yes we can.
