"btw, we have to fix that."

Yes! Yes! Finally President Obama referred to the mess our elections have become and the huge sacrifices many made to get their vote in. Earlier, VP Al Gore eloquently spoke of how we need to fix our election system across the board. That there was no reason we couldn't run elections as efficiently and accurately as the Canadians do. He even poignantly said that it only hurt when he thought about it.

So we know when President Obama makes a promise he tries to keep it. So I'm sure we will finally see some effort made to protect our right to vote and to have that vote count. FINALLY! I think this is going to be an awesome four years and he's gonna kick ass.
