November 2008, As I tend to do around Election Day, I stopped watching tv and stayed offline, figured I’d find out the results afterwards, when it was fact, without torturing myself.
I didn’t have to watch tv or go online that night. I could hear people outside cheering. I called my parents and my mother was so happy she could hardly speak.
The next day I went to work and about 90% of my class were wearing those iconic Obama "Hope" tee shirts. Some of those wearing them were a pleasant surprise. A few other students were obviously not happy about the election results, so I tried to keep on the topic of the training for the day.
I also remember when Mr. Obama returned to the city recently and pretty much received a hero’s welcome.

This is an exciting time just heard on CNN that Harris was leading Trump by three points in today’s poll in IOWA. Sounds like a harbinger of what is next!
