President-Elect Barack Obama … it still sounds scarcely believable. The nation that in its stupidity voted in Dubya, not once but twice, finally came to its senses and in doing so created history. It was a privilege to watch this historic moment for America, minorities, and the world when an African-American who was unknown four years ago has achieved a truly astonishing political feat. The audacity of hope indeed. He will not and can never be a perfect President or fulfill the unrealistic expectations people will have of him. But I hope he restores much-needed dignity and integrity to the United States and the office of President. In my lifetime I have never been more optimistic about an American presidency. As Obama just said on TV: change has come to a country where all things are indeed possible.
Yes we can? Yes he did.
