Absolutely Stunning.

What a beautiful morning. The leaves are falling with new vigor and hope is blooming like crocus breaking through an early spring snow. A great statement was made last night: We are sick and tired of being sick and tired. And really, what says sick and tired more that John S. McCain?

President-Elect Barack Obama. Yes We Can. I love that line. I'm tired of being embarrassed be those Americans who say we Can't do something. I've heard Can't from Detroit. I've heard Can't from D.C. I've heard frightened Can'ts from the heartland. The sin of these past eight years is the idea that we can't do something. We can't recount votes, we can't risk a 'constitutional crisis', we can't leave without victory, we can't have healthcare, we can't improve fuel efficiency, we can't care for the poor. We're AmeriCans, dammit. If you think we can't, please get out of the way.

Hopefully, we Can fix some of the damage of the last eight years in the next four. Thankfully, we have a young, virile new president who has the energy, the stamina and the courage to rebirth the promises of our fathers that our future generations will have better lives than we have. We are better than the past eight years. We owe it to our future to fix ourselves, help others and regain our standing in the world.

Yes We Can.
