At Long Last...

Last night as I watched McCain's concession speech, I caught a glimpse of the man who could have captivated America and beaten Obama. I was touched by his call for unity and his patriotism. Then, I watched Obama describe the past century of America and thought about how insane it is to think that there are voters alive today who were denied the right to vote at one point. I would not have voted for Obama just because he was black, just as I wouldn't have voted for Hilary just because she's a woman, but I am glad that we have elected a black man, finally. We have come a long way.

Regardless of how you feel about the candidates, I think we can all agree and be glad that this madness has ended. And all the people said, "Amen!"
