We have a new President!

Yes We Can, Yes We Will, and Yes We Did!!!

Today/Tonight is a great time to be a political animal and a United States citizen!!! This country has been groping around in the dark, searching for hope and possibility, and today the light started to cut through. I’m beginning to see a time when I am again a member of a democracy where voices are heard without constraints. President Elect Barack Obama may be somewhat idealistic but despite some saying that idealism is naive, idealism creates hope not blindness. I can’t believe that I am lucky enough to see a time when a black man is elected by both the popular and electoral votes. It is a monumental time and it will be something that I tell my kids about. A day when race wasn’t a factor, instead the issues came first. When a man was “not judged by the color of [his] skin, but by the content of [his] character.” MLK I have never shed tears over an election but I couldn’t stop myself from fully feeling the absolute joy that comes from somewhere inside.

We face many challenges as a nation but with Obama as our President I feel enthusiastic about taking it all on. It will be better because our Commander and Chief has a vision and the passion to continue to strive for a country that our fore fathers invisioned.
