A Day For History!
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008Hooooooray!
November 4, 2008. This is a day that goes down in history. Barack Obama has done it! The first African-American to be elected as the next President of the United States. And we, the people have helped make it happen.
What a thrilling triumph for the American people. I felt lucky to have heard Obama speak at the Highland Park Women’s Club several years ago — long before he considered running for the Presidency.
After he spoke with such passion, everyone gave him a standing ovation. Whispers floated across the air. “This is the kind of person who should be our President!” People nodded, cheering, clapping, and wondering if such an idea could even be possible.
I could only hope and dream. And tonight, those dreams have been answered. Our country needs a change, and the people have spoken. May we all pull together — at last — and rebuild our country… with liberty and justice for all.
