This night, of all nights, seems most appropriate to revisit my old blog and put thoughts to the proverbial paper. This night, this historic night, is an occasion for ceremonious, celebratory words.
And yet, the words won't come, and I'm left feeling a little speechless. I wish the political pundits and the networks would feel the same, and join me in a moment of silence. I wish we could pause and observe this incredible moment, of 200+ years of history in the United States, the struggles, the Civil War, the Civil Rights, the immigrants, the labor movements, the soldiers, the dead, the alive, the old, and the young. Stop all the cameras, stop the inaudible interviews, stop the screaming and champagne drinking. Feel this moment of emotions that is overwhelming the nation.
Congratulations to our next President. President Barack Hussein Obama.
