My two cents

[flemmings]

About once every twenty years history gets made in a way that feels good. The Berlin Wall, the moon landing, and I wasn't around for whatever came before that. My reactions-- the ones I'll say aloud, that is-- swing between Nicely done and What took you so long. Truly, I really didn't think it would happen. I'm amazed and delighted.

I also remind myself that this is a man whose politics are to the right of Stephen Harper's. Now there's a bucket of next-day cold water in the face.

It feels really good.
But like Obama said, this isn't the change, it's still going to take hard work.

Yeah. There's some riff that needs to be done on 'that's one giant step for Americans now, but one small step for America in the long view of history.'
