On Tuesday night, when it was announced that Barack Obama would become the 44th president of the United States, the night wasn't as "eventful" as some people had led me to believe it would be.
A chorus of angels did not appear in the sky, the archangel Gabriel did not sound his glorious trumpet, nor did the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse wreak havoc on America.
