One thing is for sure.....

..... Obama definitely knows how to say "thank you". "Thank you, thank you so much, thank you, thank you everbody, thank you very much, thank you, thank you everybody..... " and on and on and on. He must have said "thank you" 30 times before he really started saying anything. Good grief, it was annoyingly funny! We had a good laugh about that.

If nothing else comes of this election, which is probable, there are some great lessons to be learned. We had a great conversation with our kids last night about all the politics going on right now. Usually, all of what politicians have to say (Obama and McCain included) sounds really good but what are they really saying? And how will what they say they want to do affect other things? Obama presented his speech very well last night and it would be easy to just believe everything he said was great based on how well spoken he is. We'll see how McCain does but history would show that he won't do as well in the speaking department. It's just a good lesson in digging deeper to find out what they're really saying and not just take it for face value.

Thank you. :)
