THANK YOU AMERICA!

I never thought I would see this day in my lifetime, and every time I think about it my eyes fill with tears. Watching Jesse Jackson as he cried has to be one of the most moving, poignant things I have seen, when you think of all he has lived through, when you think that he was shoulder to shoulder with Martin Luther King all those years ago. All those years ago, yet still in my lifetime and almost yesterday in historical terms, an African-American was not allowed a seat on a bus! A truly momentous day.

It is going to be tough because so much is on this man's shoulders, and he has a huge, huge task in front of him. Two wars. Economic meltdown. Global Warming. So many things that he needs to address. Some have spoken of it as a poison chalice, but I think he is up to the task.

An enormous tectonic shift has taken place and people around the world are in love with your country again.
