This is who I would be in my next life....she is something else....

O Mama, Obama!

"I never thought I would see this day"
"I am overwhelmed"
"This is the moment!"
"The moment is now!"
"Now my children will know they can be President some day"

And on and on the list of proclamations goes from African Americans who now have a shining example of what is possible in America. They have a special connection to this election that I cannot speak about personally. But the victory belongs to all of us....all who believed, rallied, supported and HOPED this day would come. The moment is now. It is monumental. For so many reasons.

I am proud of him. I am proud of us. I am proud of America. Yes we can....yes we did!

There is so much more to say, but I will leave that to those whose gift of flowery speech is better honed than mine. I pray for the Obama family that they will stay strong against the challenges they now face. The job will be messy. It will take time to dig us out of the godawful messes we are in. The American public is not known for its patience or faith in our leaders, which we need in great quantity to resolve the problems ahead. I hope we have both and will give them to our new President-elect and the tide of public support will remain strong and buoy him up to the tasks at hand.

But for now, I will enjoy this moment. Today is a new day for all of us.
