Happy Obama Day!

I'm overwhelmed. My thumb is dead from responding to text messages yesterday. My phone is dead. My throat is sore from yelling. My neighborhood was dark, but we were howling and honking back and forth with people over the hills, in the distance. We live in a conservative town, in a conservative state. We couldn't see anyone else celebrating, but we could hear them. We knew we weren't alone.

McCain opened his arms to Obama last night. Bush opened his arms to Obama this morning. Obama opened his arms to them. Obama is going to work with them, with us, to get rid of "us" and "them." And I'm happy.

Happy Obama Day!
