I want to share an e-mail I got from a leader in another country
This was from a member of the Scottish Parliament and my boss for 4 months. I was moved to tears by it:

Folks,

I would just like to say to the US, "welcome back".

For the first time in 8 years, there is now a hope, not just for the US but for world politics. I know President Obama won't be able to sort everything out in 4 years, however whatever he can do and whatever steps he can take, the US and the world should be in a better place than we are now.

Thank you America.
