The outpouring of emotion was so intense: tears streamed down faces in glory, hope, admiration and elation as we witnessed a giant step for humankind. Jessie cried, Oprah cried and even Colin choked up as we celebrated and breathed our collective sigh of relief that Obama's 21 month Presidential campaign ended in such a decisive victory that there was not one shred of doubt to upend. We can ride high on the sheer magnitude of Obama's victory. Faith has been restored in America evidenced by the whole world cheering with us; people of all faiths, nationalities and races dancing in the streets in cities and towns across America and the world.
240,000 people in Chicago turn out for Obama's victory speech.
An electoral margin of 2 to 1 over McCain.
52% of the popular vote.
Many Americans were inspired to vote for the 1st time in their lives.
American children were energized and engaged in the political process.
McCain's speech was gracious and welcoming.
Obama's speech was sobering and commanding.
Sarah Palin was unceremoniously dismissed.
And the stock market tanked again today reminding us that there is so much work to be done.
