I'm a little disappointed that my favorite candidate didn't make it, but I'm still pulling for you Kucinich!

I do, however, have some serious hopes for you, President-Elect. I don't know if you're really going to change things, but with a new House and Congress you don't really have an excuse not to. A lot of people have been waiting, myself included. Here's what I've been waiting for:

I've been waiting for a tremendous improvement in education, and I don't take the word tremendous lightly
I've been waiting for an increase in public health spending,
for real change in our antique election system,

but more importantly than anything,
I've been waiting for us to be connected with the rest of world.

McCain said that being 'American' was his highest association - admirable words towards a united country - but what we really need is to understand what it means to stand united with 'Humans' everywhere. It's time to stop treating the world like our stomping grounds, to realize that winning is not always about getting the gold medal. You motivated hordes with your call to change, but let's see you act that out. What kind of place are you going to carve for us in this world?

A shining star on the hill demonstrates not only what it means to be a model of opportunity and growth, but also what it means to truly act compassionately towards those who are not yet your friends. Barack Obama, you do what it takes to get us there. I'll back you all the way, if you keep us on the right track.

Thanks,
Jimmy
