Congratulations

So, it’s been pretty insightful to be in another country talking to people from all over the world during our election.
This morning an older French woman came running up to Jason and I, “Congratulations!” she doted.
Now, don’t get me wrong, we are aware of what day it was, and Steve and Sarilyn have satellite TV so we watched the results come in. But we were a little taken aback, “I’m sorry, for what?”
“Your new president.”
“Oh…yeah, thanks, yes, yeah of course.”
It’s not a surprise that people from Chile, France, England, and Germany are excited about Obama. I just didn’t expect it to come out quite like that.
In any case, it is a historic day, and those from other countries are very proud of “us”.
