“This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time –- to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth –- that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:
Yes, we can! “
President-Elect Barack Obama
I can’t even begin to put into words how I feel this morning. The realization that we all changed the course of history, that the system really worked and that we finally have a voice who speaks for us with integrity, intelligence and courage, is just so utterly amazing. Any one of our children really can become president. And we as a people stood up and made it happen. Community at its finest!
Peace!
yes! many of us were glued to our televisions here in Australia too (and I’m sure, around the world). A happy day indeed.
