Ned Donovan - Ithaca ‘12

Hey everyone,
So it’s been a while since I’ve posted on here, mainly because my life has been pretty crazy.  Instead of creating one long post, however, I’m going to write a couple around different themes.  This will be the one on just general knowledge.  So where to begin?

We have a new president!  Well no, but we will soon!  Barack Obama was elected president and I’m happy to say that the man I voted for came out on top.  I will say it was interesting to be at this school and be a republican voting for Barack Obama.  It is intensely liberal here, it’s more intense than being back at Waynflete and surrounded by the dems there…and that’s saying something.  Just to give you an idea of what happened when Obama won the election…here’s a youtube video of the ensuing mayhem on Ithaca College’s campus (this subsequentially was played on CNN.com and other news sites)
I would like to say congratulations to the world, while I don’t know if I buy into the idea that this is going to bring a new era for America and that Barack Obama is a savior…I will say that he is better than our current president, his administration will be better than our current administration, and it will certainly be different.
