I'm proud too!

Look at it from this perspective... if we hold the anger and frustration that we have for these people in and let it distract us from the actual goal... they've won even if they didn't get the title of President.

The reason people flock to Obama is his strength in doing the right thing. The right thing is to move forward and get down to getting this country back on track!

At least, that is my Pollyanna take on it.

We didn't watch the networks last night so I went to bed without any idea at all of what was happening. I woke up with a start at a little before 2:00 a.m., turned on the TV and caught the speech from the beginning. John woke up about mid-way through and we both watched in silent amazement. I wept pretty much through 2/3s of the speech. YES WE CAN.

I'm with you on all of this. I have to wonder in amazement, "How could so many people have voted for the snake in the grass?" Are they not listening? Do they not have any internal sense that tells them when someone is being truthful and when someone is being so disingenuous or political. I did not think the entire country would go blue, either. But I thought there would be a bigger gap than there was.

But I will still take this victory and run with it. I'm thrilled. THRILLED! I think this man is destined for greatness. Just as I believed that when I heard him speak during my visit to DC back in 2006 (?) and wanted to silence the others in the room by telling them all to shut up because I truly believed I was looking at the man who would/should be our next President.
