Obama doesn’t transcend race. He isn’t post-race. He is the latest chapter in the ever-unfurling American racial saga. It is an astonishing chapter. For most Americans, it seems as if Obama first came to dinner only yesterday. Should he win the White House on Tuesday, many will cheer and more than a few will cry as history moves inexorably forward.
-- Frank Rich, NY-Times Op-Ed: Guess Who's Coming To Dinner
I am so moved by this quote. Throughout the campaign, and in listening to Mr. Obama speak, I constantly envision him as the bridge between parted waters, one who aims to synthesize our differences, rather than valorize one side of the political coin. I am so excited, so anxious, and so grateful for Barack Obama.
