“And in the unlikely story that is America there has never been anything false about hope”
Today, something happened in America. Today WE elected a president. The margin was not close. WE THE PEOPLE gathered and volunteered and donated in unprecedented numbers. WE THE PEOPLE have elected Barack Obama to be the 44th President of the United States of America. Congratulations sir!
It was a long and winding road to get there. At midnight on the east coast the electoral vote count sits at 338 to 156 giving Barack more electoral votes than G. W. Bush received in either of his presidential victories.
As all presidential candidates before him there have been promises. As all candidates before him there is tremendous hope. This is no different.
As a huge supporter of Mr. Obama’s I’d like to offer my congratulations. The work ahead is not easy. You’ve inspired us with your vision. You have spoken to our better selves. You have caged the cynic within. You have made us believe. Not just in you but in ourselves. Millions of us believe that yours is the correct path. You have made me believe that all things truly are possible.
That in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
Thank you!!!
But please remember…with all of the Promise…with all of the Optimism…with all of the Hope
WE ARE WATCHING!
Don’t fuck it up.
