For the first time, in a long time, I am optomistic about the future. The nail biting, the feuds, the racism, the hate, the love.....America is finally coming into the 21st century.
Uncle Edward had a small viewing party last night. We watched the returns. Made phone calls.
Giddy, like school girls.
Uncle Edward compared it to JFK's election. It was then that it hit me. America is actually ready for a change. The masses have spoke. The tide has finally begun to turn.
Gone, hopefully, are the thoughts of big government and bigger business. Gone are the glass ceilings for every American-black, white, gay, straight, poor, in-between. Welcome the sweet taste of hope and freedom.
Barack Obama has become many things to many people. Both in America and around the world. This man, thanks to the many American's who have seen his light, is destined for America's change. He is destined to lead us into the next era of America's "age". The time is now.
On a lighter note, I have to agree with President Obama when he told the young African-American men of today to "pull up their pants and get on with life". Perhaps this will be the one thing to put hope in a culture that seemed so down.
Thank you, fellow American's, for electing the best man for the job.
