I just noticed how much I longed for seeing this picture… Especially after an eight-year-long nightmare that ruined the entire world.
Barack Hussein Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States on Tuesday, sweeping away the last racial barrier in American politics with ease as the country chose him as its first black chief executive. |
Mr. Obama’s election amounted to a national catharsis — a repudiation of a historically unpopular Republican president and his economic and foreign policies, and an embrace of Mr. Obama’s call for a change in the direction and the tone of the country. But it was just as much a strikingly symbolic moment in the evolution of the nation’s fraught racial history, a breakthrough that would have seemed unthinkable just two years ago. |

I know. 🙂 While watching the election news on TV that night, I continuously thought of my friends in America, including you and many other clippers – and felt really very happy for you all, wanted to share your joy and excitement. I’d love to be in America that night. 🙂
It was a historic night for sure.
