Welcome Back

Hi Everyone!

Hope everyone had a happy holiday!

Sorry it's taken a bit longer to get back to this blog - after all the snow and excitement of Christmas and New Years I just lost track of time...

So Barack Obama is president! A lot of people very happy about that.

Is anyone else thinking how similar his campaign and election has been to that of Matt Santos from the last couple of seasons of the "West Wing"?

Also I saw a biography of Obama on TV last night - very impressive. After becoming a state Senator in 1996, he tried to become a congressman in 2000 and failed, then got elected a US Senator in 2004. He was only a US Senator for 2 years before running for president, and then won the presidency - that is incredible!

Only time will tell whether he is the candidate that everyone hopes he is.
