President Barack Obama!

I can't ever remember being this emotionally involved in an election.
Thoughts of JFK and Bobby and Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired this kind of feeling but this is even more.
This takes us to the next level.
There couldn't be anything more poetic than electing a man who is half black and half white to bring us into the 21st century. This was indeed the most historic and important election of our lifetime. As a Boomer, it just means so much to me. I remember JFK's Inauguration and his famous speech about the torch being passed to a new generation. Last night the torch was passed to a new era.
One of the governors was asked last night why Obama reached so many people on such a deep level and she said "because he appeals to our better angels." She is so right. There is an innate core in all of us that he touches and it is going to ignite this country - this world - forward.
Last night's acceptance speech was full of conviction and love and hope.
Grown men and women shed tears of joy [I will never forget the face of Jesse Jackson]. I'm still crying. I am so proud of our country.
I am so looking forward to his presidency.
It's been a long time coming...
