Yes We Can (and We DID)

The first time I posted this I could not speak. I was in tears. I was overwhelmed by something that I did not believe would happen.

President Elect Barack Obama has made history. We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, have elected the best candidate for the job. We have managed to, despite all of the naysayers both at home and abroad, breakaway from a history of hate and deceit.

We have made history.

As a mother of a biracial daughter- a mother who is married to a white man – a mother who is a member of the dwindling middle class, Obama’s victory is a personal one for me and it should be for all Americans. We have entered an era of change and we must ALL come together to do so.

Our nation has been divided for so long and we have been focused on the things that make us different. It is time to focus on what make us the same. We have so much more in common than we know and it is my hope that we as a Nation can continue to turn the tide.

Yes we can!

And for the first time in my life I believe that we will.
