Obama


Well fellow citizens we did it. I am in shock...really. I feel happiness for the first time in a long time. I actually felt some American (US0f A) pride. We have chosen a man who can inspire and lead but we all must act. The hatred and ignorance still exist as they did yesterday. The long road finally has a map to follow. My god we finally woke up for at least a second or two.

My LGBT friends have taken a blow this week. Several states still believe bigotry is justified under the name of god. History will ultimately show them their ugliness. I need to be more vocal on this front.

I wonder what the McCainites feel like today? I guess in some ways I don't really care. All I know is that this country has kept me involved a little longer. I guess I identify with more people than I really thought possible.

My black brothers and sisters have waited lifetimes for this moment. I can't even fathom what they must feel. It is time for a new day and I am ready to listen to those who have had no voice. I am ready to be a better ally.
