Some times it all comes together and we live the ideals of the path our founders set us on.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…”
It was a historic day for us. I even agree with President Bush:
No matter how they cast their ballots, all Americans can be proud of the history that was made yesterday. Across the country, citizens voted in large numbers. They showed a watching world the vitality of America’s democracy, and the strides we have made toward a more perfect union. They chose a President whose journey represents a triumph of the American story — a testament to hard work, optimism, and faith in the enduring promise of our nation.
Many of our citizens thought they would never live to see that day. This moment is especially uplifting for a generation of Americans who witnessed the struggle for civil rights with their own eyes — and four decades later see a dream fulfilled.

Hey Sis, I am SO stoked. I’m still teary-eyed from the event.
There’s many people in Britain who are pleased to welcome your Black and White President Elect.
I wish him well.
Hi Anna, so glad to have you stop by and comment.
I’m impressed with his intelligence, his ability to take himself out of the equation and see the problem to ask the right questions. He’s cool-headed: calm, collected, composed, even-tempered, imperturbable, nonchalant, possessed, unflappable, unruffled; something that’s been sadly lacking for the last seven years. He is, in many ways, a conservative guy.
It’s rather nice when a country lives up to its ideals.
