Barack Obama

B.A. nailed it last night.  I was wiping away tears.  Caused by pride in the nation I live in, pride in the reaffirmation of the values that makes us a light on the hill to so many, and pride in a party that is united like never before.
 
My favorite line?
"A belief that we are connected as one people. If there's a child on the south side of Chicago who can't read, that matters to me, even if it's not my child. If there's a senior citizen somewhere who can't pay for her prescription and has to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer, even if it's not my grandmother. If there's an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties. It's that fundamental belief-I am my brother's keeper, I am my sisters' keeper-that makes this country work. It's what allows us to pursue our individual dreams, yet still come together as a single American family. "E pluribus unum." Out of many, one." . . .
 
Yep.
