We the people of the United States of America have spoken! Since 2006 when I first read Audacity of Hope I knew in my heart that Barak Obama would be our next president. Several co-workers had borrowed my book after listening to me talk about this great man. This has been the longest two years of my life as I rode an emotional roller coaster of tears, fears and cheers.
One of the women that I gave a ride to the polls to vote was 92 years young. As I was helping her into my car she said, “Dear Lord, let it be Obama” as tears were flowing down her pale white cheeks. My thanks go out to Annie and the millions of others who stood strong and united in electing Barak Obama the 44th president of the United States of America!
Yes we can! Yes we did!
I am too exhausted to write much tonight but I will say one thing, our work is just beginning!
Till tomorrow….
Peace and love to all!

It was a long two years, but it was quite an interesting journey. I salute my White brothers and sisters who could get past color, and see the real human being!
