Good lord what a Presidential Race 2008 was....It was amazing to see the nation so involved in this election...and to see Creighton students register to vote (and then vote) in such huge numbers. It was great to see young people take the election seriously....and frankly I think we are seeing a resurgence in our country.
Say what you want about party lines and bipartisanship, but I stand here today proud of my country. We had an outstanding turnout at the polls, our young people voted in record numbers, and we have our first person of color as president! Whether you are Democrat, Republican, or Independent...you have to be proud on some level today of your country.
Meanwhile back here at Creighton--I am proud of the discussions, viewing parties, and ultimately--the fact the Creighton students went out and voted....it is good to see and once again renews my hope that the future is bright for our country!
What a fun way to start a month of Thanksgiving....as today I am very thankful for this country in which I live.
