Obama
Barack Obama won last night, and the whole world breathed a sigh of relief. For the first time in eight years I feel good about America. For the first time in eight years I saw a flag and didn’t cringe. For the first time in eight years I heard the word patriotism and didn’t immediately think of Joseph McCarthy. Change is in the air. The headline in the London Daily Express reads A New World Dawns. I couldn’t agree more.
O brave new world, That has such people in it!
