President-Elect Barack Obama

"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." Abraham Lincoln

President Barack Obama!

This election reaches all the way from 1960 to 2060 at least.

This is choosing Life, Liberty, Equality, and Justice for All.

This is the vindication of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the entire Liberal movement for social justice for African Americans--and by extension, women, all people of color, and GLBT people; the coming of age, at last, of an adolescent USA; a magnificent affirmation of the strength of our US democracy; an affirmation of the capacity of average Americans to know and affirm real character when they see it, and to right the country's course when it is vital to do so; and a total repudiation of everything that the GOP has stood for since Nixon was first sworn in.

Now it is our sacred and solemn duty to lead wisely and with justice, and to cement the coalition that Obama has called into being.

For now, CELEBRATE!!!
