 "They say a good man can't get elected president. I don't believe that. Do you?" Everyone, introducing President-elect Barack Hussein Obama. "I can't believe it fucking happened," were the first words out my mouth. And then I whispered to myself, "We did it... it's real." I was going to write an entry about our soon-to-be President and praise Senator McCain (I respect him and all that he's done), but the words just aren't coming. The only thing on my mind is this: I am so proud to be an American. I haven't felt this way in so long, this intense pride for this nation that many sought out to follow their dreams. He renewed what was lost in us, the people. We are one nation, we are one people, we are the United States of America. Our diversity is our strength, and no matter who or what you are, we are all Americans. While we can't know what promises will be kept or broken, we can at the very least have faith in this man. We can have faith in knowing he'll represent us, that he will embody what we as a nation and what we as a people might and can aspire to be. So for tonight or today, this early morning, let's celebrate and have hope, have faith, have heart. I am an American. No TrackBacksTrackBack URL: http://www.toastier.org/cgi-bin/mt/mt-tb.cgi/294 |
