Today you and I voted for a new President of the United States. Today our country makes history. It will be the first time that either a black man or a woman gets elected to the oval office. This morning I was thinking about the first time you will be able to vote for president. It will be 2028 and you will be twenty years old. What will our government or White House look like in twenty years? How will things have changed? Will you be a part of that change? Change has been a key word in this year's election. Americans are worried about the economy and it shows. As you grow, you will meet many people who have very different political opinions. Some you might agree with and some you might not. Even within our own immediate family, we have a house divided. The lesson I hope you take home from this election (and politics in general) is tolerance. This country was founded on the idea that each person has right to speak their mind and voice their opinion. Tonight, your Daddy and I will watch to see who the American people have chosen to lead us over the next four years. There are many predictions, but only tonight will tell what the American people have decided. Here's a couple of snapshots from the polls today:
I love you,Mom
