The Day the World Turned 'Round

"The 44Th president of the United States is Barack Obama." I'm sure that when i grow up, there will be people asking me, "Where were you when they announced the first black president?" I could tell them that i was in my bedroom watching TV.

 

When i was watching this, i got the weirdest feeling throughout my body. It was something that i couldn't really explain but I'm going to try. They announced that Barack Obama was president and it felt like my stomach dropped as if i was on a roller coaster. This was one of the biggest elections ever, and my heart was racing to find out who won. As soon as they announced the winner, i didn't know what to do. my heart felt like it stopped and it was the weirdest feeling. it kind of felt like the earth stopped its rotation and spun the other way, like the whole world was

 going to start new. i know it may sound crazy, but it was the weirdest feeling. its hard to explain and hard to understand, but i felt like the world turned around and we are going to be in good hands now. I felt like before they announced this, that everyone had a 100 pound weight on their shoulders and as soon as they announced the winner, the weight was just taken off. It was the weirdest feeling and i didn't know what to think or how to explain it.

Did any of you have this kind of feeling when they announced that Barack Obama was now our 44Th president?
