Is Obama President? 

(thanks for the link super guppy)

It is often that you do not see how dark the cloud was until it is lifted.

Yesterday it was lifted.  The sadness, the horror, and the discontent has been lifted from my mind.

I believe that if we all sat down to talk about our ideas, values, and dreams for the future that 80% of us would be reaching for the same end point.  Our differences would flash in the methods and paths we would take to get there.  And that, to me, is our strength.

The tough part is mitigating those differences, capitalizing on them and motivating movement forward to a better future.

I believe that last night my country, of which I am unbelievably proud, choose a person who has the capacity and talent to bring us to that end point.   I am inspired, hopeful and thrilled to see the first black president take our highest office.  We have come a long way as a country and as a people and I am truly looking forward to what the future will bring.

Congratulations America.
