We all witnessed history tonight.  I recognize the anger, pain and hurt I see in my friends who were supporters of John McCain…I felt the same 4 years ago tonight.  However, I was moved on this night unlike any other time in my lifetime.  The cynics will snicker at that statement…I know because I have been a cynic for quite some time.  I’ll admit I was gloating as the wave of electoral votes began to reveal the obvious.  However, that all began to change when John McCain began what I thought was a great speech.  It reintroduced us all to the man who has given his life to our country.  His true love was revealed.  I believed what he said when he offered to help President-elect Obama to bring this nation together.

Barack Obama then gave the speech of a true leader.  He was not looking back at a successful campaign but looking forward to lead the United States of America.  I believe, despite all our troubles and crises, this could be our finest hour…but not as Democrates or Republicans.  We’ll only be able to do this together.  On this night, I really am proud to be an American.

Peace! I’m going to bed…….
