I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed...

And if you want to imagine the future, imagine a boot ... no, imagine a sneaker, laces trailing, kicking a pebble; imagine a stick, to poke at interesting things, and to throw for a dog who may or may not decide to retrieve it; imagine a tuneless whistle, pounding some luckless popular song into insensibility; imagine a figure, half angel, half demon, all human...
Slouching hopefully towards Tadfield...
... forever.

Yesterday made me proud to say I live in the USA. This nation has finally started to live up to its creed and it only took 200+ years. Maybe in another 100 years we can truly be a melting pot.

XD! I wouldn't say that yesterday made me want to be an American (I rather enjoy being Canadian) but it certainly made me proud to be a human. I don't know if that makes any sense whatsoever, but it's true XD! Obama represents hope and change, and I love that. He's a very inspiring individual.
