So by now we all know what has gone on in this country over the last 48 hours. I am so relieved to have a president I can be proud of now. I attended a rally for President-elect Obama on Sunday night here in downtown Cleveland. Bruce Springsteen sang some songs while playing acoustic guitar and then Barack took the stage and spoke to the crowd of approximately 80,000 people. The energy was electric. The crowd was excited and it was amazing to be a part of. He gave a speech (which I later found out was covered by CNN). These are crazy times to be a citizen of the United States. So now that the dust has settled on election day, and with only a handful of races still too close to call, we have learned a lot about the state of the country, about the direction we are headed, and about what we believe as a people.
I am so excited.
