I LOVED how inspired I felt after hearing our President Elect’s acceptance speech. It is what we should be and are about. I hope all the Republicans can get over the negativity and talk about what his skin color is. The main facts are, WE ARE WHAT WE ARE BECAUSE WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT COLORS. President Elect Barack was totally inspiring and I enjoyed every second he spoke. He made me proud that he was speaking for me and my country. I haven’t felt that way for 8 years. FINALLY – a breath of fresh air . . . . I am so looking forward to what he can accomplish, and especially the positive force behind him. Come on fellow Americans, step up, positive energy and action is what we all need. We can be the Americans our ancestors dreamed us to be. YES, WE CAN.

When I arrived home, he was waiting outside as I got out of the car. We went inside and stood together in front of the TV as he replayed the Victory speech. I cried with joy and amazement!

I haven’t been proud of my country for a VERY long time. I feel as if I have just waken from a nightmarish storm that has lasted for 8 long years. Finally, the clouds and darkness have cleared, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the new day is so bright and full of possibilities that I am giddy with anticipation of what can and will be created.

I am very proud that the entire country chose to wake up.
