i can't even find the words to justify how I felt last night when this country elected Barack Obama the 44th president.
it makes me proud. my fiath has been restored in this country and its people.
i woke up today, after protesting sleep because I felt I was already dreaming.
i woke up with "mycountry tis of thee" in my head.
i did not even realize i knew that song. I have no idea where it came from , but it was there.
i cried today. and it felt awesome. i am so happy.
there is also a fear. i just want the american people to be patient and realize what this country is facing. none of this is going tobe easy, and as much as i am confident in obamas alilities to heal, i just dont know if americans can deal with the unsturdyness of this country without pointing the finger.
we need to point the finger towards ourselves. we need to except responsibility for each other. as americans, and as a human race.
president elect obama can not do this by himself, nor should he.
this is all just starting to sink in for me to be a part of something truly historic. i watched history last night. i was a part of history since i met mr obama in 2006. i shook the mans hand.
i shook the future presidednts hand. i have talked with his wife. i was had the pleasure of attending his historic acceptance of his parties nominatin with 84,000 other people in denver colorado.
