That strange feeling you are experiencing is breathing.

We have rejoined the ranks of the lawful and humane nations of the world. Within a few weeks, we step up as the rightful and righteous beacon of democracy and hope.

He has a mess on his shoulders and he cannot possibly clean it up himself. It will take all of us doing our share. He was honest last night. It will be time and effort. There will be false starts. But last night should have taught us we must entertain the notion that great things are, indeed, possible. Last night, the bar got raised. Last night was a lesson in not giving in, not giving up, not giving it away to a few while we watch American Idol and Lost.

Last night, we saw America again. America IS beautiful.

We the People

OUR Nation

Roll up your sleeves. Help your neighbor. Stand a little taller. Do good work. Check egos and the door and do your part to restore our beloved country. This land is your land, this land is my land, this land is gonna have a future we can look to with hope and work toward with enthusiasm.

Gawd it feels good, and your words only make the feeling better.

We've turned the corner, but as Obama says, we've a long way to go. Just got to say that working with people like you makes the journey seem less arduous. Thanks!
