You won! Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations!
I wish your grandmother could have seen you give your acceptance speech. She probably did, but it would have been an more fulfilling if you could have seen her face.
You have accomplished much in your 47 years in life.
You are brilliant.
You are the most inspiring speaker I’ve heard in my lifetime.
You are an incredible human being with gifts to unite all people, bring out our best qualities, believe in ourselves, our future.
You give us hope to dream.
Because, together, “WE CAN” make a difference.
You have much riding on your Presidency, more than most presidents before you.
I look forward to the change you will bring.
I feel honored, excited, blessed to be a part of this historic time.
I am happy beyond words to know you are our next President.
May the force be with with you.
Take us light years ahead.
Godspeed.
I voted early and while I waited in line I thought about how I always tell Dora-Marie that she can be anything she wants to be. I thought about how Obama’s mother probably told him that, but did they really think he could be anything he wanted back then. How far we have come.
Just popped over from your old blog on blogger…I hope that he will be able to reunite America. He has a daunting task ahead. There is so much hope…in many ways, it mirrors the Kennedy presidency…young family man with dreams of the world being a better place to raise our children…so much hope. Take care. Renee
