PRESIDENT-ELECT, BARACK OBAMA

Nov 04, 2008 20:51

Too excited to do calculus.

There is so much hope, so much excitement in this moment. Watching Channel 7 news and so many people all over the country, coming together and cheering, yelling, crying, embracing, for Obama. Chills witnessing his acceptance speech. Neither Obama, or the government, can fix all of our nation's problems - or those of the world - but there is hope, there is a new foundation for the American people to come together, to, through our united efforts, promulgate a new era, to create the change we want in this world.

Is it naive? Is it overly optimistic?

The election of an African-American man, of mixed white and Kenyan descent, has shown that the majority of the (voting) nation is embracing of progress. Much of the world, with great interest, has been watching. The stage has been set for great opportunity, new horizons, and the election of Barack Obama is the first step.

To quote the cheering supporters rallied in Times Square, the audience presence at Obama's acceptance speech, Obama reiterating in his speech himself, "Yes we can."
