Following the original post about Sandy there was tremendous hardship suffered in NJ and Long Island, both former homes. The photos of the damage on the internet were horrifying, with New York City paralyzed and unbelievable fires with a ripple effect that still has people without power today for Election Day. People got out to vote in makeshift voting booths which is so powerful and inspires us to do this thing called voting despite all the hurdles we all face. I am happy that Obama won today because all the work he has started takes time, and he is a very smart guy, who cares about this country. His wife and daughters are wonderful examples for people to emulate. We have so much hope for the many changes going on globally and nationally that Obama understands. Hooray!
