Beltwaybandit’s Top Five Moments of 2008 Part 4

Here we go, my fourth best moment of 2008.

November 4, 2008

Even though I definitely don’t agree with most of Barack Obama’s policies and politics, I can’t help but choose election day this year as one of my top five moments of 2008.  I couldn’t believe the turnout this election cycle.  Never before had I ever had to wait in line for more than an hour to cast my ballot. 

What was even more impressive to me was that for the first time in our history, we elected an African-American as president.  I knew we would eventually do so, it just didn’t dawn on me that it would happen this year.  As I mentioned previously, even though I don’t agree with Barack Obama’s politics, I definitely see and understand the historical significance of this momentous event.  This is an event that I will never forget.
