Change Has Come to America

Thank you, America, for restoring my faith in "we the people." As President elect Obama reminded us tonight, this election was only the first step. Together, as a people, we can change the course of our country.

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time – to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth – that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:

Yes We Can.
Tonight, for the first time in years, I might actually get a good night's sleep.

You know, D, there are times that I wish I had your passion for politics and government.

Tonight, for the first time in years, I might actually get a good night's sleep.

Then there are other times I'm glad I don't. I like my sleep more. :)

Congratulations on Obama's election.
