Yes We Can

After taking the day to revel in the post-election coverage, I couldn't let the opportunity pass to say that I think that it's a good day for America.

"What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek; it is only the chance for us to make that change.
And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice. So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. . . . In this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people. " --President-elect Barack Obama, Chicago, November 4, 2008
