Obama being an internationalist was of the top 3 reasons that I voted for him, so yes, I care as someone living in abroad (with 2 passports), and I care as an American who has been living in shame of one of her countries for the last 8 years. I wanted international redemption, and we got it. I feel as if a massive burden has been lifted off my shoulders, as someone who is the only natural-born citizen in her entire family and with close friends in a multitude of countries. This is my kind of president.
