The other Amber is right: he needs superpowers now to protect him and the movement he has started. I so so so hope he (and we) can climb this staggering mountain.
And now that we can sigh a breath of relief, lets relax and have some nice, soothing wine. (Well, I don't have any wine, but I shall find some.)
Hooray! Hooray! I feel proud to be an American today, even though I recognize the hard road ahead of President Obama and all of us. I want to celebrate on everybody's blog as well as my own!
i love what you did here. it was so emotional last night and i could not let out a sigh of relief until they officially announced it. the majority have spoken!
Hooray! And thank you for your posts these past months, Laini. Both the political and non-political ones. Your words are thought-provoking, motivating, and comforting.
I saw on Ebay today that the 11/5/08 New York Times is going for upwards of a $100!! I was too slow to get my hands on a copy. I would have saved it though. :)
I like looking at all the covers - esp the Yes He Did!
For the past couple of days I've been wearing an Obama shirt -luckily I have two - and sharing smiles with strangers. It's awesome.
Oh, like EM I heard about the papers for sale on Ebay and such and was kicking myself for not grabbing a couple at the 7-11 since I was up at 6:30 a.m. anyway to get my daughter to school. Well, I've got my Washington Post and I'm not parting with it.
Thank god.

I live in Chicago and was in Grant Park last night listening to our new president. It was something I will remember for the rest of my life.
ReplyDeleteAnd the rest of the world thanks you, America. We couldn't make that change, but we could hope for it. Thank you.
