Barack Obama will be our next President. Congratulations to those who supported him so vigorously and waited for this day - a day we can hope that the war in Iraq will no longer be the central focus of all our news and public interest, and a day when our country's leaders will not act as if economic turmoil can rattle a calm direction of leadership.
For all the African Americans who thought this was an impossible dream, and for all the young people who may have a better reason to believe their siblings, friends and spouses may not have to die fighting a war in a foreign land – these are extraordinary things and they nearly bring tears to my eyes to think about how good it must feel for those people.
It seems appropriate and good to take a few days, even a few weeks to celebrate the good side of things this election means before the inauguration of the new President and the swearing in of a new Congress.
