A new dawn for America
John McCain raising his injured arms to silence the boos during his concession speech, the look on the crowd's faces in Chicago as the new President Elect Barrack Obama addressed them in his typical eloquent and powerful fashion, seeing the look on the faces of the students and principal of Morehouse College in Georgia. These are the corner-stone moments of this very special election night where the impossible just happened.
And I'm not even talking about a black man being elected the next president but rather Americans managing to say in sufficient numbers, enough is enough, let's begin to heal the divide and to put the past behind us. Obviously, I'm happy at the results and delighted at Obama's first speech as an elected national leader but even more happy that I'm not alone in genuinely wanting all of us to move forward together. The future is here, it's five minutes later than you think and it's the right moment to leave all the baggage behind us and willingly embrace a more positive vision.
