Yeah, that is right. Patrick and I voted today. We stood in line at La Poste, which took forever. The experience of standing in long lines to mail something is universal. So our ballots are on their way, sent via regestered mail to elect Obama as our next president of the United States of America. Heck yes, go us!
Yesterday as Patrick and I were walking to the store we were standing at a street corner waiting for the light to change. Across from us stood a man with his child, he had an Obama shirt on. I can safely say that every French person I have met is hoping, just like Patrick and I, that Obama is our next president. It is not really a surprise to me but to see someone with an Obama shirt shows just how strong the feeling is for people here too. I want to thank all of you who have sent us information, videos, and articles on the election information. It has been great to stay involved and informed even though we are miles away.
I would like to shout out to Joe Plumber, Jane Teacher, Keith Obama-teamster, Colin Powell and everyone else who is hoping, working, praying, and talking about Obama as our next president. We are with you and will be up early on November 5th watching the polls come in. So, if you are up 10 pm MST on the 4th know that we are up with you, watching and waiting.
Yes we can!
Molly
PS: For all of those who read this that are for the other political ticket, I will only truly celebrate once it is official. However, if you decide to change your mind and vote for Obama you still can. You can do it privitely in the voting booth and know one has to know but you. It is ok, you won't go to hell, I promise.
