January 20, 2009: Obama is President of the United States

I listened to the inauguration in Washington on the radio today. Sober and somber tone of Obama's speech. The task ahead is indeed daunting. I am not waiting for a miracle and I do not have many expectations. We'll see.
But I am happy, and I am happy for my kids that they live in the United States now, in an era where the president of this country is an African-American. This symbol reassures me that, in the midst of chaos, we have - somehow - the ability to progress !

Champagne!

It feels like a door just opened. It is amazing!

It is my son's birthday today, he received an email from his French grandma. She is proud that the Americans elected Obama as their new President and says that Harper will remember the date! I will certainly remember the date too!

My first vote as an American citizen and Obama is elected President! What a gift!

A few days ago the children voted at their school and Obama was elected. So when we told our children that we were kind of stressed waiting for the results of the elections yesterday, they were pretty surprised and one said: "We already voted, Obama won!"

Last night we celebrated with our American/French-American/French friends with good food and champagne. Suddenly, it was on the screen: "Obama elected President". This time there was no hesitation, no perhaps, no maybe, it was clear and loud, it was a huge wave nobody could contest.
It was great to share that moment and to witness the event together.

There are people who do not believe things can/will change and that it is absurd to be so optimistic, especially in the midst of such a worldwide mess.

We'll see. I am hopeful.

"Change has come to America"

I voted!

44 days ago I became an American citizen and today I voted for the first time! I am thrilled to participate in this historic vote!
