All hail President-Elect Obama!

On a quick trip to Vienna to work on encoding the Teuthonista phonetic alphabet as well as Old Hungarian, I went to bed at about 01:00 on the night of the U.S. Election. At 06:30 I woke and pretty much rushed to the TV to turn on BBC World News.

And lo! But the election had been called for Barack Obama!

I'm pretty much a bellwether myself, but the President-Elect's leadership really does inspire.

Indeed, for the first time, I understand what all the fuss about Kennedy was about.
